CEO’S LETTER

NOVEMBER 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its poli-

cies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

New market neutral strategy seeks to minimize risks from stock investing

Today’s volatile market climate presents many challenges for investors, particularly those who may be seeking to increase return potential while minimizing downside risk. J.P. Morgan offers a range of strategies designed to address these challenges, including our newest launch, the JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund, managed by Terance Chen.

Like the JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund, the Research Equity Long/Short Fund gives managers the opportunity to use an expanded tool set to generate enhanced returns, including the ability to buy and hold stocks that they like, as well as to “short” stocks that they believe will fall in value. Rather than balancing long and short positions to neutralize risks, however, this fund combines offsetting long and short positions to minimize portfolio volatility and increase downside protection through significantly less market exposure. The fund may be suited for more conservative investors who are looking for enhanced diversification and equity exposure, but prefer lower exposure to market risks associated with stock investing.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and new year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Sincerely yours,

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Stock markets in most parts of the world continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Stock prices declined in the second quarter of 2010 as risk aversion returned in April amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. However, stocks recovered during the third quarter of 2010 and into October 2010 on strong corporate earnings, better-than-expected economic data, a return of merger and acquisition activity and accommodative policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve. While most stock markets advanced for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, there was clear separation among regions and countries. Emerging markets stocks were bolstered by strong gross domestic product (GDP) growth in developing countries, as the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index gained 23.89% and was among the best performing stock indexes during the reporting period.

U.S. stocks outperformed international stocks, as the MSCI EAFE Index gained 8.36% versus the S&P 500 Index’s 16.52% return. The relative weakness of the MSCI EAFE Index was driven primarily by lagging European stocks. While European policymakers and the International Monetary Fund responded to the region’s fiscal crisis with an aggressive emergency funding package, skepticism remained surrounding the unity of European leaders, as well as the impact that austerity measures would have on growth in the region.

JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

FOR THE PERIOD MAY 28, 2010 (FUND INCEPTION DATE) THROUGH OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class A Shares, without sales charge)*      2.73%   
BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index      0.06%   
S&P 500 Index      9.48%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 59,715   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long term capital appreciation.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the period May 28, 2010 (Fund inception date) through October 31, 2010.

The Fund’s positioning in the industrial cyclical and basic materials sectors contributed to the Fund’s return as positive contributions from its long positions more than offset negative returns from its short positions in both of these sectors. Conversely, the Fund’s positioning in the semiconductors sector detracted from the Fund’s return as negative returns from its short positions more than offset positive contributions from its long positions in the sector. The Fund’s long positions in the finance sector also detracted from its absolute return.

Among individual stocks in the industrial cyclical sector, the Fund’s best performing long position was PACCAR, Inc., a truck and truck parts manufacturer that reported strong third-quarter 2010 profit and a positive outlook for 2011. The company’s management team cited increasing demand for trucks amid improving trends for freight volumes and truck replacements given the historically high age of the current truck fleet. In the basic materials sector, the Fund’s best performing long position was Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., a commodity mining company that benefited from increasing demand and rising price of copper.

Detracting from performance, the Fund’s worst performing short position in the semiconductors sector was Microchip

Technology Inc. as the stock rose after the company reported an increase in its fiscal second-quarter net income. In the finance sector, the Fund’s worst performing long position was regional bank Wilmington Trust Corp. The stock declined amid an investigation surrounding whether Wilmington Trust Corp.’s board of directors breached its fiduciary responsibilities to the company’s shareholders.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to construct a portfolio of long and short positions, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. Based on this research, they ranked stocks in the U.S. large-cap universe into five quintiles. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked to the top two quintiles for potential long positions in stocks that they believed were undervalued and looked to the bottom two quintiles for potential short positions in stocks that they believed were overvalued. The Fund’s portfolio managers attempted to limit the Fund’s overall market risk, holding long and short positions across a broad array of sectors. The Fund’s average long exposure was 100.56% and its average short exposure was -81.21%, as the Fund maintained an average beta exposure of .19 (beta measures a portfolio’s sensitivity to fluctuations in the broad market).

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. 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 May 28, 2010.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the S&P 500 Index from May 28, 2010 to October 31, 2010. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains of securities included in the benchmarks. The BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single

issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond 3 months from the rebalancing date. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% 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.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 1,440,105   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s positive stock selection in the industrial cyclical and basic materials sectors offset weakness from the Fund’s capital markets and retail holdings.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s return included a short position in United States Steel Corp. and a long position in SanDisk Corp. Shares of United States Steel fell after the company announced a lower-than-expected first-quarter 2010 earnings outlook. SanDisk Corp., which is the primary provider of flash memory devices for Apple Inc.’s iPad, benefited after Apple Inc. announced better-than-expected sales of the iPad.

The Fund’s long position in E.l. du Pont de Nemours & Co. (“DuPont”) also contributed to the Fund’s return. Shares of DuPont gained after the chemical manufacturing company raised its 2010 earnings outlook and reaffirmed its long-term earnings outlook.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s return included a short position in Estee Lauder Cos., Inc. (“Estee Lauder”) and a

long position in Intersil Corp. Shares of Estee Lauder gained after the retail company raised its second-quarter 2010 earnings outlook. Shares of Intersil Corp., a producer of high-performance analog integrated circuits, declined as a result of personal computer and consumer weakness.

The Fund’s long position in Google, Inc. also detracted from the Fund’s return. The stock fell after investors reacted unfavorably to the public dispute with Chinese authorities over censorship and alleged hacking, which ultimately led to Google’s decision to pull out of the Chinese market.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers aimed to construct a portfolio of long and short positions with a low correlation to traditional investments such as stocks and bonds. The Fund’s portfolio managers used fundamental research to estimate companies’ long-term earnings forecasts, ranking approximately 600 large- and mid-cap stocks into five quintiles. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked to the top two quintiles for potential long positions in stocks that they believed were undervalued and the bottom two quintiles for potential short positions in stocks that they believed were overvalued.

The actual returns for Class C Shares would have been lower than shown because Class C Shares have higher expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

Returns for Select Class Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns for Select Class Shares would have been lower than shown because Select Class Shares have higher expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund, BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and Lipper Equity Market-Neutral

Funds Average from October 31, 2000 to October 31, 2010. 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 BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund 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 Equity Market-Neutral Funds Average 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 BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond 3 months from the rebal-ancing date. The Lipper Equity Market-Neutral Funds Average represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Institutional Class Shares have a $3,000,000 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.

Because Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 Year average annual total return shown above for Class B reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

 

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 2 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Research Equity Long/Short Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    Non-Diversified
Research Market Neutral Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified

Effective February 28, 2010, the Market Neutral Fund was renamed the Research Market Neutral Fund with the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Research Equity Long/Short Fund commenced operations on May 28, 2010. Prior to June 10, 2010, Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class Shares were not publicly offered for investment.

Class C and Select Class Shares of the Research Market Neutral Fund commenced operations on November 2, 2009.

Effective November 1, 2009, Class B Shares of the Research Market Neutral Fund may not be purchased or acquired by new or existing shareholders, except through exchanges from Class B Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund and dividend reinvestments. Shareholders who have invested in Class B Shares prior to November 1, 2009 may continue to hold their Class B Shares until they convert automatically to Class A Shares.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class B and Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Class R5, Institutional Class and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. 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. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. 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 be 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 equity securities 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 values.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input by sector as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

## All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually in the SOIs. Level 2 consists of a U.S. Treasury Note that is held for futures contracts collateral. Please refer to the SOIs for industry specifics of the portfolio holdings.

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the period ended October 31, 2010.

B. Futures Contracts The Research Market Neutral Fund uses index futures contracts to actively manage the long and short equity exposures in the portfolio. The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Research Market Neutral Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund 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. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

C. Short Sales — The Funds engage in short sales as part of their normal investment activities. In a short sale, a Fund sells securities it does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the market value of those securities. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Fund borrows securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Fund must purchase the same securities at the current market price and deliver them to the broker.

The Funds are required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the SOIs. The Funds may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net income or fee is included as interest income or interest expense on securities sold short, respectively, in the Statements of Operations.

The Funds are obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on record date. Dividends on short positions are recorded on the Statements of Operations as dividend expense on ex-dividend date.

Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the short position loses value and the securities’ price increases. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Funds are also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.

The Funds will record a realized loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Funds replace the borrowed security. The Funds will record a realized gain if the price of the security declines between those dates.

As of October 31, 2010, the Funds had outstanding short sales as listed on their SOIs.

D. Offering and Organization Costs — Offering costs (Registration and filing fees) paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Research Equity Long/Short Fund are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Fund were recorded as an expense at the time it commenced operations and are included as part of Professional fees on the Statements of Operations.

E. 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 and expense on securities sold short less foreign taxes withheld, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns 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 capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

F. Allocation of Income and Expenses — In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to its Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

G. 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. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Funds’ conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually on the Research Equity Long/Short Fund, and are declared and paid quarterly on the Research Market Neutral Fund. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital        Accumulated
Undistributed/
(Overdistributed)
Net Investment
Income
       Accumulated
Net Realized

     $ (3      $ 166         $ (163

Research Market Neutral Fund

       (15,818        16,574           (756

The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to net operating loss.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

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 Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

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 borrow-

ing 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 the Funds’ 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 it is an investment company 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 J.P. Morgan 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 the Funds’ 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 15, 2011.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the period 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 to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

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

One or more affiliates of the Advisor have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Research Market Neutral Fund, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Fund’s assets. Research Equity Long/Short Fund has several shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that own significant portions of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Fund’s performance.

As of October 31, 2010, the Research Equity Long/Short Fund pledged substantially all of its assets for securities sold short to BNP Paribas and the Research Market Neutral Fund pledged substantially all of its assets for securities sold short to Goldman Sachs & Co. For the Research Equity Long/Short Fund and the Research Market Neutral Fund, deposits at broker for securities sold short, as noted on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, are held at BNP Paribas or Goldman Sachs & Co., respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and Shareholders of JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund and JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (formerly JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund) and JPMorgan Research Equity Long/Short Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the period then ended and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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 meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment subcommittees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet as needed for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of the Fund at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain J.P. Morgan Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their con-

sideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Advisor from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s responsiveness to concerns raised by them,

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Advisor’s determination of its and its affiliates revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, 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 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 adviser, 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 the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Advisor and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board considered that the Advisor does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Advisor, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“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 Fund 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Advisor’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board

meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the Fund’s performance was in the second, first and first quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s

management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. 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 Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the second and third quintiles, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the second and first quintiles, respectively, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

November 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted

due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      -3.94%   
BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index      0.12%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 2,248,144   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term absolute (positive) returns in all market environments from a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks, while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

U.S. stocks continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Stock prices declined in the second quarter of 2010 as risk aversion returned in April amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. However, stocks recovered in the third quarter of 2010 and into October 2010 amid strong corporate earnings, better-than-expected economic data, a return of merger and acquisition activity and accommodative policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve. In the end, the S&P 500 Index finished the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 with a 16.52% return.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, as three of the four stock selection forecasts used by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“Highbridge”) detracted from relative performance during the reporting period.

The Fund’s fundamental forecasts took a long-term perspective and sought stocks that generate strong cash flows and efficiently use their capital base. Overall, this forecast theme hurt the Fund’s performance as investors disregarded stocks’ fundamentals and continued to trade based on macroeconomic data.

The Fund’s relative value forecasts sought to identify stocks that appeared to be mispriced relative to their peers. These forecasts detracted from the Fund’s performance, particularly in April, as investors became concerned about sovereign risk and U.S. regulatory financial reform. These concerns produced atypical trends in the market and hindered the relative value forecasts’ ability to distinguish between attractive and unattractive stocks.

 

The Fund’s technical forecasts also did not add value during the reporting period. The technical forecasts are based on the idea that stock prices react to and correct short-term imbalances in supply and demand. The technical forecasts attempted to identify opportunities to exploit these short-term imbalances and by providing liquidity to markets (buying or selling stocks) to make a profit.

The Fund’s event forecasts contributed to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. This theme attempts to identify and incorporate news or other information that may impact stock prices. The model’s analyst-driven forecasts performed well, especially once investors began to focus on company’s earnings, rewarding those companies that reported improved operating results.

Although the Fund’s strategy is to be and to remain market neutral, it is important to note that the strategy is not market isolated, and therefore may be subject to short-term disruptions in market conditions, like those witnessed during this most recent reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

As during previous periods, Highbridge managed the Fund using its proprietary quantitative investment approach. The Fund focused on stock selection and relied on its four different stock selection themes, which the Fund’s portfolio managers believe should drive stock performance over time. The forecasting component of the process sought to identify equity securities expected to potentially outperform or underperform other equity securities with similar industry and risk characteristics. Highbridge selected the Fund’s holdings by balancing expected returns predicted by its forecasting model against expectations of common market risks and stock-specific risks in the Fund’s portfolio. Highbridge achieved this balance through the use of their proprietary optimization software. The Fund was rebalanced throughout each trading day using a proprietary electronic trading system. The model did not seek to “time” the market or predict which style would outperform. The Fund was diversified among mid- and large-cap U.S. stocks and attempted to generate returns based on the relative price movements of the positions in the Fund, and not the direction of the broad market.

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. 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 November 30, 2005.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund, BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and Lipper Equity Market-Neutral Funds Average from November 30, 2005 to October 31, 2010. 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 BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund 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 Equity Market-Neutral Funds Average 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 BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond 3 months from the rebalancing date. The Lipper Equity Market-Neutral Funds Average represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class 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.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Diversified

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. 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 be 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 Fund applies fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in its portfolio by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the 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 the Fund calculates its net asset values.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

B. Short Sales — The Fund engages in short sales as part of its normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Fund sells securities it does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the market value of those securities. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Fund borrows securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Fund must purchase the same securities at the current market price and deliver them to the broker.

The Fund is required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the SOI. The Fund may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net income or fee is included as interest income or interest expense on securities sold short, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund is obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on record date. Dividends on short positions are recorded on the Statement of Operations as dividend expense on ex-dividend date.

Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the short position loses value and the securities’ price increases. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.

The Fund will record a realized loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will record a realized gain if the price of the security declines between those dates.

As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on its SOI.

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 and expense on securities sold short less foreign taxes withheld, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

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

D. Allocation of Income and Expenses — In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to the Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

E. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The 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. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Fund’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

F. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

     $ 2,049,975         $ 159,173         $ 29,188         $ 129,985   

The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to wash sale loss deferrals.

There were no distributions paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 was as follows:

 

       Total Distributions Paid From:

     $         $ (55,607      $ (42,868

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of loss deferrals on unsettled short sales and wash sale loss deferrals.

As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had the following net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

 

        2015        2017        2018        Total  
     $ 16,330         $ 10,845         $ 28,432         $ 55,607   

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order (“Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (“Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund 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 the 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 Fund because it is an investment company 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 J.P. Morgan Funds including the Fund. 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 the 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 15, 2011.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the year 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 to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

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

One or more affiliates of the Advisor have investment discretion with respect to their client’s holdings in the Fund, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Fund’s assets. Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Fund’s performance.

As of October 31, 2010, the Fund pledged substantially all of its assets for securities sold short to Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated. Deposits at broker for securities sold short, as noted on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, are held at Morgan Stanley Co. Incorporated.

8. Subsequent Event

Subsequent to October 31, 2010 and through December 14, 2010, certain shareholders of the Fund redeemed their Select Class Shares and the Fund paid the redemptions primarily with the proceeds resulting from disposing of portfolio securities. The proceeds from these redemptions amounted to approximately 22% of the Fund’s net assets at October 31, 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Highbridge Statistical Market Neutral Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides infor- mation about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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 meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment subcommittees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet as needed for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and, collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of the Fund at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain J.P. Morgan Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consid-

eration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Advisor from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s responsiveness to concerns raised by them,

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Advisor’s determination of its and its affiliates revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, 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 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 adviser, 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 the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Advisor and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board considered that the Advisor does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Advisor, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“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 Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trust-

ees 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Advisor’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

also considered the special analysis by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the Fund’s performance was in the fourth and second quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s

management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. 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 Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the fifth quintile and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the fourth quintile of their Universe Group. The Trustees also considered information provided by JPMFM and JPMDS related to the sub-advisory structure and distribution strategy of the Fund and, in light of this information, concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted

due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Stock markets in most parts of the world continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Stock prices declined in the second quarter of 2010 as risk aversion returned in April amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. However, stocks recovered during the third quarter of 2010 and into October 2010 on strong corporate earnings, better-than-expected economic data, a return of merger and acquisition activity and accommodative policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. While most stock markets advanced for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, there was clear separation among regions and countries.

Emerging Markets

Emerging market stocks were bolstered by strong gross domestic product (GDP) growth in developing countries, as the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index gained 23.89% and was among the best performing stock indexes during the reporting period.

Indian stocks were supported by strong corporate earnings and robust flows from foreign investors into the Indian market. In addition, the country’s monetary policy tightening was in line with investor expectations, creating optimism among investors that the Reserve Bank of India was attempting to maintain continued economic growth as it took measures to control inflation.

Meanwhile, the greater China region lagged other emerging markets. Investors were concerned that the Chinese government would be forced to take measures to clamp down on the surging Chinese economy and ward off inflation, potentially causing a sharp pullback in economic activity (also known as a “hard landing”). However, concerns about a hard landing in China failed to materialize and the Chinese stock market performed well toward the end of the reporting period.

Developed Markets

International stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia and Far East) Index, gained 8.36%, underperforming emerging markets stocks and the S&P 500 Index’s 16.52% return for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The relative weakness of the MSCI EAFE Index was driven primarily by lagging European stocks. While European policymakers and the International Monetary Fund responded to the region’s fiscal crisis with an aggressive emergency funding package, skepticism remained surrounding the unity of European leaders, as well as the impact that austerity measures would have on growth in the region.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      36.48%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index      23.89%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)      $7,461   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s stock selection was strongest in the energy and materials sectors. The Fund’s underweight in the healthcare sector and overweight in the information technology sector detracted from relative performance.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s positions in Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited and Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp, which were both not held in the Benchmark. Shares of Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited, a Thailand-based agro-industrial and integrated food company, benefited as investor fears surrounding political upheaval in Thailand abated. Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. is an oil exploration and production company. Shares of the company rose due to its increasing oil production.

The Fund’s underweight position in Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. also contributed to relative performance as the stock declined on concerns regarding the structure of an offering that allowed the Brazilian government to purchase shares of the company.

 

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Chaoda Modern Agriculture Holdings Ltd., Gerdau S.A. and OTP Bank plc. Chaoda Modern Agriculture Holdings Ltd.’s stock was hurt after the agricultural produce provider issued new shares, options and convertible bonds to raise capital to expand the company’s production, diluting the value of existing shares. Shares of Gerdau S.A., a Brazil-based producer of long rolled steel, declined as the appreciating Brazil Real caused steel imports to rise, hurting the Brazilian steel industry. Shares of OTP Bank plc, a Hungarian bank, declined after the Hungarian government increased taxation on the country’s banking sector, hurting OTP Bank plc’s profitability.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers used a combination of top-down and bottom-up research, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. The Fund held an average of 94 stocks during the reporting period. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest overweight was in the financials sector and the Fund’s largest underweight was in the materials sector. From a country perspective, the Fund’s largest overweight was in Turkey and the Fund’s largest underweight was in India.

The Fund commenced operations on February 28, 2008.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index from February 28, 2008 to October 31, 2010. 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 MSCI Emerging Markets Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The amount reinvested is the entire dividend distributed to individuals resident in the country of the company, but does not include tax credits. The performance of the Lipper Emerging Markets 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 MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market

performance of emerging markets. The Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the United States can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      25.64%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index      23.89%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 1,744,141   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of equity securities from emerging markets issuers.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 as the Fund’s stock selection in the financials sector more than offset relative weakness from the Fund’s materials holdings. The Fund’s overweight in the consumer staples sector also contributed to relative performance. In addition, the Fund’s average cash position was relatively high as the Fund experienced significant inflows during the reporting period. This was a modest drag on relative performance as the yields available from cash were low during the reporting period.

Individual contributors to relative performance included Turkiye Garanti Bankasi A.S. and Hyundai Mobis. Shares of Turkiye Garanti Bankasi A.S., a Turkish bank, benefited from improving trends for consumer lending in Turkey. Shares of Hyundai Mobis, a Korea-based auto parts manufacturer, benefited from recovering demand for automobiles. The Fund’s relative performance was also helped by not owning Gazprom OAO, as the Russian energy company was a weak performer in the Benchmark.

 

Individual detractors from relative performance included Orascom Telecom Holding SAE, Esprit Holdings Ltd. and Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”). Shares of Orascom Telecom Holding SAE, an Egyptian-based mobile phone operator, declined amid the overhang of the company’s dispute with the Algerian government. The Algerian government imposed restrictions on the company’s Algerian-based Djezzy unit, hurting the company’s profitability. Shares of Esprit Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong-based retailer that is not held in the Benchmark, were hurt by the company’s weak earnings results announced in early September 2010, as growth in its Chinese operations was not enough to offset weakness in Europe. Shares of Petrobras declined during the reporting period on concerns regarding the structure of an offering that allowed the Brazilian government to purchase shares of the company.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund employed an active strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the highest-conviction ideas found at the stock level, holding an average of 68 stocks during the reporting period. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to determine the Fund’s security weightings against the Benchmark, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest overweight was in the consumer staples sector and the Fund’s largest underweight was in the industrials sector. From a country perspective, the Fund’s largest overweight was in India and the Fund’s largest underweight was in Taiwan.

Prior to September 7, 2001, the Fund operated in a master feeder structure. The returns for the Institutional Class Shares prior to September 7, 2001 reflect the performance of the institutional feeder of the Emerging Markets Equity Portfolio, whose historical expenses were substantially similar to those of the Institutional Class Shares. The returns for the Select Class Shares before they were launched on September 10, 2001 reflect the performance of the retail feeder. The historical expenses of the retail feeder are substantially similar to those of the Select Class Shares.

Returns for Class A and Class B Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Select Class Shares. The actual returns for Class A and Class B Shares would have been lower than shown because Class A and Class B Shares have higher expenses than Select Class Shares.

Returns for Class C Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class B Shares. The actual returns of Class C Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class C Shares have expenses similar to those of Class B Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index from October 31, 2000 to October 31, 2010. 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 MSCI Emerging Markets Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the maximum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark.

Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

Because Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years, the 10 Year average annual total return shown above for Class B reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      22.57%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index      13.32%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)      $3,143   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Global Focus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of equity securities in developed and emerging markets.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI World Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s stock selection in the autos and energy sectors contributed to relative performance while the Fund’s holdings in the healthcare and retail sectors detracted from relative performance.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in German-based Lanxess AG and France-based Rhodia S.A., specialty chemical providers not held in the Benchmark. Both companies’ earnings received a boost from their managements’ disciplined cost-cutting measures and recovering demand in their end markets.

Another contributor to relative performance was the Fund’s overweight position in InterOil Corp., an integrated energy company operating in Papua New Guinea that was not held in the Benchmark. The stock rose as the company’s projects started to come on-line and generate revenues.

 

On the negative side, the Fund’s overweight positions in Greece-based Sidenor Steel Products Manufacturing Co. S.A. and EFG Eurobank Ergasias S.A. hurt relative performance. These stocks declined with other Greek stocks as the country’s debt crisis escalated.

Another individual detractor was the Fund’s overweight position in Austrian biotech company Intercell AG. Intercell AG’s management warned that the company may post a loss for 2010, due in part, to ongoing research and development costs.

HOW THE FUND WAS MANAGED

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future growth. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked for stocks that possessed an attractive valuation signal (as measured by the Fund’s portfolio managers’ proprietary dividend discount model), high significant profit growth potential and a timely catalyst that would enable the stock to realize its inherent value. The Fund was largely unconstrained with regards to sector, regional and market-cap distribution.

In addition, the Fund employed currency forwards to bring the Fund’s currency exposure closer in line with the U.S. dollar denominated Benchmark.

The Fund commenced operations on March 30, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Global Focus Fund, the MSCI World Index and the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Value Funds Index from March 30, 2007 to October 31, 2010. 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 MSCI World Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Value 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.

Funds is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

From the inception of the Fund through April 30, 2010, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Select Class 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      10.72%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) EAFE Index      8.36%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 642,362   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return from long-term capital growth and income. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 as positive stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector more than offset negative stock selection in the energy sector.

Individual contributors to relative performance included Symrise AG and Burberry Group plc. Burberry Group plc, a luxury retail company, and Symrise AG, a Germany-based manufacturer of fragrances used in perfumes, both benefited from recovering demand, particularly among higher-end consumers. Other individual contributors included Volkswagen AG, as the success of the car manufacturer’s Audi brand, its strong presence in China and recovering global demand for autos fueled its strong earnings growth for the first nine months of the year, overshadowing concerns about the company’s pending merger with Porsche.

 

Individual detractors from relative performance included Lafarge S.A., Piraeus Bank S.A. and Esprit Holdings Ltd. Lafarge S.A., a France-based building materials company, was hurt by continued weakness in European construction activity. Piraeus Bank S.A. is a Greece-based financial and banking services group. The stock declined amid concerns about Greece’s debt crisis. Esprit Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong-based fashion retailer that derived most of its earnings from Europe, was hurt as the fiscal crisis in Europe dampened regional demand and undermined the value of European currencies.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to focus on stock selection to build a diversified portfolio of international equities. The Fund’s portfolio managers employed rigorous, bottom-up fundamental research in an effort to identify quality companies that were well-managed, had solid financial positions, possessed sustainable earnings that were growing faster than that of their peers yet whose stocks were trading below or at par with the market.

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. 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.

Returns for Class A, Class B and Class R5 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of the Select Class Shares. The actual returns for Class A and Class B Shares would have been lower than shown because Class A and Class B Shares have higher expenses than Select Class Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been different because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Select Class Shares.

Returns for Class R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of R2 Shares would have been lower than shown because R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares.

Returns for Class C Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class B Shares. The actual returns of Class C Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class C Shares have expenses similar to those of Class B Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan International Equity Fund, the MSCI EAFE Index and the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index from October 31, 2000 to October 31, 2010. 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 MSCI EAFE Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper International Large-Cap Core 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 MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index is based on the total returns of the funds in the indicated category, as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

Because Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class B reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      8.42%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) EAFE GDP Index      5.66%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 665,617   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Equity Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities in the MSCI EAFE Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (the “Benchmark”).

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s strategy is not a full replication approach. The Fund seeks to achieve a correlation of 0.90 with the Benchmark. Perfect correlation would be 1.00. The tracking error (a measure of how closely a portfolio follows the index to which it is benchmarked) of this strategy can be attributed to not owning all the names in the Benchmark and the Fund’s exposure to emerging markets stocks, which are not held in the Benchmark. The Fund’s exposure to emerging market stocks, which performed strongly during the reporting period, caused the Fund to outperform the Benchmark during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers constructed the Fund as a fundamental index strategy, with country weightings based on

gross domestic product (“GDP”) rather than traditional market capitalization. Each country was weighted by GDP, because the Fund’s portfolio managers believed that this measure served as a better indication of each country’s potential earning power than traditional market capitalization.

The Fund was well diversified throughout the reporting period, with approximately 1,000 developed country stocks and 150 emerging country stocks. On average, the Fund had the following weights within the major regions during the reporting period: Europe and Middle East ex-U.K., 55.4%; Japan, 18.0%; the United Kingdom, 9.4%; and Pacific ex-Japan, 6.4%.

The Fund’s emerging markets exposure had an average weighting of 8.6% during the reporting period. The Fund’s emerging markets exposure was constructed so that countries were about equally weighted, with periodic rebalancing to return to this weighting.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers used a combination of exchange-traded funds and futures to help manage cash flows. The Fund continued to closely track the Benchmark, consistent with its investment strategy, and attempted to provide broad passive international exposure for U.S. investors.

JPMorgan International Opportunities Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      12.12%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) EAFE Index      8.36%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 318,726   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of equity securities of foreign companies in developed and, to a lesser extent, emerging markets.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 as positive stock selection in the energy and utilities sectors more than compensated for the Fund’s negative stock selection and underweight positions in the outperforming retail and basic industries sectors.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in German-based Lanxess AG, a specialty chemical provider not held in the Benchmark. The company’s earnings received a boost from its management’s disciplined cost-cutting measures, recovering demand in the developed world, a growing presence in emerging markets and rising demand for synthetic rubber. Other individual contributors included the Fund’s overweight position in Volkswagen AG, as the success of the car manufacturer’s Audi brand, its strong presence in China and recovering global demand for autos fueled its strong earnings growth for the first nine months of the year, overshadowing concerns about the company’s pending merger with Porsche. In addition, the Fund bought shares of integrated energy company BP plc after the company’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico had taken its toll on the stock. The Fund benefited as the stock rebounded off its lows.

 

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Lafarge S.A. and China Resources Land Ltd. Lafarge S.A., a France-based building materials company, was hurt by continued weakness in European construction activity. China Resources Land Ltd. is a real estate development company. Property stocks in the greater China region declined broadly on investor concerns about the Chinese government’s efforts to cool its surging property market, such as raising the installment requirement for second-home purchases and raising the mortgage rates applied to these purchases.

Another individual detractor was the Fund’s overweight position in Austrian biotech company Intercell AG. Management warned that the company may post a loss for 2010, due in part, to ongoing research and development costs.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. They used a proprietary dividend discount model and worked closely with analysts to identify the most attractive stocks in each sector.

In addition, the Fund employed futures and currency forwards to help manage cash flows and bring the Fund’s currency exposure closer in line with the U.S. dollar denominated Benchmark.

Prior to September 7, 2001 operated in a master feeder structure. The returns for the Institutional Class Shares prior to September 7, 2001 reflect the performance of the institutional feeder of the International Opportunities Portfolio, whose historical expenses were substantially similar to those of the Institutional Class Shares. The returns for the Select Class Shares before they were launched on September 10, 2001 reflect the performance of the retail feeder. The historical expenses of the retail feeder are substantially similar to those of the Select Class Shares.

Returns for Class A and Class B Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Institutional Class Shares. The actual returns for Class A and Class B Shares would have been lower than shown because Class A and Class B Shares have higher expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

Returns for Class C Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class B Shares. The actual returns of Class C Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class C Shares have expenses similar to those of Class B Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Institutional Class Shares of the JPMorgan International Opportunities Fund, the MSCI EAFE Index and the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index from October 31, 2000 to October 31, 2010. 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 MSCI EAFE Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying

the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper International Large-Cap Core 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 MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Index is based on the total returns of the funds in the indicated category, as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Institutional Class Shares have a $3,000,000 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility.

JPMorgan International Value Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      11.79%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) EAFE Value Index      4.63%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 1,534,634   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of foreign company equity securities.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 as positive stock selection in the autos, energy and utilities sectors more than offset negative stock selection in the consumer nondurable sector and the Fund’s underweight positions in the outperforming retail and property sectors.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in German-based Lanxess AG and France-based Rhodia S.A., specialty chemical providers not held in the Benchmark. Both companies’ earnings received a boost from their managements’ disciplined cost-cutting measures and recovering demand in their end markets.

Another contributor to relative performance was the Fund’s overweight position in Cairn Energy plc., an independent oil and gas exploration and production company not held in the Benchmark. The stock rose as the company ramped up

production following the completion of its pipeline project. In addition, Vedanta Resources plc announced plans to buy a controlling stake in Cairn Energy plc.’s Indian operations.

Individual detractors included the Fund’s overweight position in Lafarge S.A., a France-based building materials company that was hurt by continued weakness in European construction activity. Not owning chemical company BASF SE detracted from the Fund’s relative performance as the stock was a strong performer in the Benchmark. The Fund’s overweight position in Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., a provider of consumer electronics, lighting and medical equipment, also detracted from relative performance as its revenues and earnings failed to exceed the market’s estimates.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. They used a proprietary dividend discount model and worked closely with analysts to identify the most attractive value stocks in each sector.

In addition, the Fund employed futures and currency forwards to help manage cash flows and bring the Fund’s currency exposure closer in line with the U.S. dollar denominated Benchmark.

JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)*      13.11%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) EAFE Index      8.36%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 151,691   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities in developed markets outside of the U.S.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s portfolio managers constructed the Fund so that stock selection and style factors (i.e. growth and value characteristics) would be the primary drivers of returns. In an attempt to mitigate the impact on performance from individual stocks, the Fund held an average of 252 stocks across sectors during the reporting period. The financials sector was the largest contributor to relative performance while the consumer staples sector was the largest detractor.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in German-based Lanxess AG and France-based Rhodia S.A., specialty chemical providers not held in the Benchmark. Both companies’ earnings received a boost from their managements’ disciplined cost-cutting measures and recovering demand in their end markets. Another

contributor to relative performance was the Fund’s underweight position in Toyota Motor Corp., which was a weak performing stock in the Benchmark.

On the negative side, the Fund’s overweight positions in Greece-based Piraeus Bank S.A. and Governor & Co. of the Bank of Ireland hurt relative performance. These stocks declined as Europe’s debt crisis escalated. Other individual detractors included Disco Corp., a maker of cutting tools for electronic equipment that is not held in the Benchmark. The company reported disappointing quarterly operating profit.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s strategy is rooted in the notion that investor behavior is influenced by human emotion and this influence gives rise to persistent growth and value anomalies within the market. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to exploit these anomalies by utilizing a series of style screens designed to identify stocks with attractive growth and/or value characteristics, targeting names that possessed high earnings momentum, high medium-term price momentum, low price-to-book ratios and low price-to-earnings ratios. In addition, the Fund employed futures to help manage cash flows.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (“JPM I”) and JPMorgan Trust II (“JPM II”) (the “Trusts”) were formed on November 12, 2004, as Delaware statutory trusts, pursuant to Declarations of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies.

The following are 8 separate funds of the Trusts (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Trust    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Emerging Economies Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    JPM I    Non-Diversified
Emerging Markets Equity Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
Global Focus Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
International Equity Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R2, Class R5 and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
International Equity Index Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R2 and Select Class    JPM II    Diversified
International Opportunities Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
International Value Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R2, Institutional Class and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified
Intrepid International Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R2, Institutional Class and Select Class    JPM I    Diversified

Prior to November 1, 2010, the Emerging Economies Fund was not publicly offered for investment.

Prior to April 30, 2010, the Global Focus Fund was not publicly offered for investment.

Effective November 1, 2009, Class B Shares of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, International Equity Fund, International Equity Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund and International Value Fund may not be purchased or acquired by new or existing shareholders, except through exchanges from Class B Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund and dividend reinvestments. Shareholders who have invested in Class B Shares prior to November 1, 2009 may continue to hold their Class B Shares until they convert automatically to Class A Shares.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class B and Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Class R2, Class R5, Select Class and Institutional Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts in the preparation of their 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 — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. 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. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. 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 equity securities 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.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input by country as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

(a) Security has a zero value.

Transfers into, and out of, Level 3 are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the period.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 or from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to a decline or an increase in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack of or increase in available market inputs to determine price.

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is a security which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately its fair value and includes, but is not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.

The following is the value and percentage of net assets of illiquid securities as of October 31, 2010 (amounts in thousands):

 

      Value      Percentage  
International Equity Index Fund    $5        %(a) 

 

(a) Amount rounds to less than 0.01%.

C. Futures Contracts — The International Equity Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund, International Value Fund and Intrepid International Fund use index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Funds also buy futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into

 

 
110       J.P. MORGAN INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2010


Table of Contents

 

 

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 Funds’ credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Global Focus Fund, International Equity Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund and International Value Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

F. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries (such as Brazil) that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.

G. Securities Lending — Each Fund may lend securities to brokers approved by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or “the “Advisor”) in order to generate additional income. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Funds, serves as lending agent for the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Securities Lending Agreement effective February 9, 2010 (“Securities Lending Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash, which is invested in Capital Shares of the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower the posted cash collateral. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

Securities lending income is comprised of income earned on cash collateral investments (“Collateral Investments”), net of a rebate received from or paid to borrowers for use of cash collateral and lending agent fees. This amount is recorded as Income from securities lending (net) on the Statements of Operations. The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Funds earned the following amounts from the investment of cash collateral, prior to rebates or fees, from an investment in an affiliated fund as described below (amounts in thousands):

 

International Equity Fund

   $ 40   

International Equity Index Fund

     94   

International Opportunities Fund

     23   

International Value Fund

     130   

At the inception of a loan, securities are exchanged for cash collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of loaned U.S. dollar-denominated securities plus accrued interest and 105% of the value of loaned non-dollar-denominated securities, plus accrued interest. The Securities Lending Agreement requires that the loaned securities be marked to market on a daily basis and additional cash collateral is requested from borrowers when the cash received from borrowers becomes less than 102% and 105% of the value of loaned U.S. dollar denominated and non-dollar denominated securities, respectively, subject to certain de minimis guidelines.

The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of Collateral Investments are disclosed in the SOI. At October 31, 2010, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of Collateral Investments were as follows (amount in thousands):

International Value Fund

     35,883         37,337         37,337   

The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the Collateral Investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the Collateral Investments decline below the amount owed to a borrower, a Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, a Fund may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Advisor does not believe that it is prudent to sell the Collateral Investments to fund the payment of this liability.

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, JPMCB has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

The Advisor of the Funds waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

International Equity Fund

   $ 16   

International Equity Index Fund

     37   

International Opportunities Fund

     9   

International Value Fund

     53   

These amounts offset the administration fees and shareholder servicing fees incurred by JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund related to the Funds’ investment in such fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

Under the Securities Lending Agreement, JPMCB is entitled to a fee, paid monthly in arrears equal to (i) 0.03% of the average dollar value of the loans of U.S. dollar-denominated securities outstanding during a given month; and (ii) 0.09% of the average dollar value of loans of non-dollar-denominated securities outstanding during a given month.

The Funds incurred lending agent fees to JPMCB as follows for the year ended October 31, 2010 (amounts in thousands):

H. 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 a Fund first learns of the dividend.

I. Allocation of Income and Expenses — In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trusts are allocated among the respective funds. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to its Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

J. 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. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Funds’ conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

K. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchase/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.

L. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually, except for International Equity Fund, which are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

Morgan Funds Complex (excluding fund of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds.

The Advisor, Administrator and Distributor as shareholder servicing agent waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Funds’ investment in such affiliated money market fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in the money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2010 were as follows (excluding the reimbursement disclosed in Note 2.G. regarding cash collateral for securities lending invested in JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund) (amounts in thousands):

 

Emerging Markets Equity Fund

   $ 88   

International Equity Fund

     27   

International Equity Index Fund

     21   

International Opportunities Fund

     15   

International Value Fund

     80   

Intrepid International Fund

     13   

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts are affiliated with the Advisor, the 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 Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trusts adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as a Trustee. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, 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 broker/dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2010, International Equity Index incurred brokerage commissions of approximately $100 with related party broker/dealers.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

An affiliate of JPMorgan Chase & Co. will make a payment to International Equity Index Fund of approximately $20,000 relating to an operational error.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

For the Funds, the cumulative timing differences primarily consist of mark to market of forward foreign currency contracts (Global Focus Fund, International Opportunities Fund and International Value Fund), mark to market of PFICs (Emerging Economies Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Global Focus Fund, International Equity Index Fund and Intrepid International Fund) and wash sale loss deferrals (Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Global Focus Fund, International Equity Fund, International Equity Index Fund, International Opportunities Fund, International Value Fund and Intrepid International Fund).

As of October 31, 2010, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the International Opportunities Fund had expired capital loss carryforwards of $25,712 (amount in thousands).

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 JPM 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 Trusts 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 J.P. Morgan 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 15, 2011.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the year 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 to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, 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.

One or more affiliates of the Advisor have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Funds’ assets for International Equity Index Fund, International Value Fund and Intrepid International Fund. Additionally, the Advisor owns a significant portion of the outstanding shares of the Emerging Economies Fund and the Global Focus Fund.

In addition, the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds and the J.P. Morgan Investor Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, own, in the aggregate more than 10% of the net assets of certain of the Funds as follows:

 

        JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Funds
       J.P. Morgan
Investor Funds
 

JPMorgan International Equity Fund

       30.8        n/a   

JPMorgan International Equity Index Fund

       n/a           38.0

JPMorgan International Opportunities Fund

       61.9           n/a   

JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund

       40.3           n/a   

Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2010, substantially all of the Funds’ net assets consisted of securities of issuers that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment income from such securities.

As of October 31, 2010, International Equity Fund, International Opportunities Fund, International Value Fund and Intrepid International Fund invested 23.2%, 22.7%, 20.9% and 22.6% of their respective total investments (excluding Investments of Cash Collateral for Securities on Loan) in issuers in the United Kingdom. Global Focus Fund invested 22.4% of its total investments in issuers in the United States.

8. Legal Matters

Prior to becoming an affiliate of JPMorgan, on June 29, 2004, Banc One Investment Advisors Corporation (“BOIA”) subsequently known as JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc. (“JPMIA”), entered into agreements with the SEC (the “SEC Order”) and the New York Attorney General (“NYAG settlement”) in resolution of investigations into market timing of certain One Group mutual funds advised by BOIA. JPMIA was investment advisor to certain of the Funds until January 1, 2010. Effective January 1, 2010, JPMIA transferred its investment advisory business to JPMIM and JPMIM became investment advisor to such Funds. Under the terms of the SEC Order and the NYAG settlement, BOIA agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and a civil money penalty of $40 million for a total payment of $50 million, which has been distributed to certain current and former shareholders of certain funds. Pursuant to the NYAG settlement, BOIA reduced its management fee for certain funds in the aggregate amount of approximately $8 million annually (based on assets under management as of June 30, 2004) over a five year period from September 27, 2004 through September 27, 2009.

In addition to the matters involving the SEC and NYAG, various lawsuits were filed by private plaintiffs in connection with these circumstances in various state and federal courts. These actions were transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The plaintiffs filed consolidated amended complaints, naming as defendants, BOIA, Bank One Corporation and JPMorgan (the former and current corporate parent of BOIA), the Distributor, One Group Services Company (the former distributor of One Group Mutual Funds), certain officers of One Group Mutual Funds and BOIA, and certain current and former Trustees of One Group Mutual Funds.

As of June 14, 2006, all claims against One Group Mutual Funds and current and former trustees were dismissed by the United States District Court in Maryland. Certain claims against BOIA and its affiliates were also dismissed. On October 25, 2010, the court approved a settlement resolving all remaining claims in the litigation in Maryland.

The Funds will be reimbursed for all costs associated with these matters to ensure that they incur no expense as it relates to the matters described above. A portion of these reimbursements may be from related parties.

As noted above, the settlement agreement with the NYAG requires BOIA to establish reduced “net management fee rates” for certain Funds (“Reduced Rate Funds”). “Net Management Fee Rates” means the percentage fee rates specified in contracts between BOIA and its affiliates and the Reduced Rate Funds, less waivers and reimbursements by BOIA and its affiliates, in effect as of June 30, 2004. The settlement agreement requires that the reduced Net Management Fee Rates must result in a reduction of $8 million annually based upon assets under management as of June 30, 2004, for a total reduction over five years of $40 million from that which would have been paid by the Reduced Rate Funds on the Net Management Fee Rates as of June 30, 2004. To the extent that BOIA and its affiliates have agreed as part of the settlement with the NYAG to waive or reimburse expenses of a Fund in connection with the settlement with the NYAG, those reduced Net Management Fee Rates are referred to as “Reduced Rates.” The Reduced Rates were implemented on September 27, 2004 and remained in place through September 27, 2009. Thus, the Reduced Rates are no longer in effect.

9. Subsequent Event

Effective November 30, 2010, the International Equity Fund, the International Opportunities Fund and the International Value Fund will offer Class R6 Shares.

As of November 30, 2010, the net assets of the Emerging Economies Fund increased to approximately $44,800,000, of which the J.P. Morgan Investor Funds owned approximately 82%.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and JPMorgan Trust II and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund, JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, JPMorgan Global Focus Fund, JPMorgan International Equity Fund, JPMorgan International Equity Index Fund, JPMorgan International Opportunities Fund, JPMorgan International Value Fund and JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund, JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, JPMorgan Global Focus Fund, JPMorgan International Equity Fund, JPMorgan International Opportunities Fund, JPMorgan International Value Fund and JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) and JPMorgan International Equity Index Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust II) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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.

The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of each of the investment advisory agreements for the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of each of the Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees

discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Advisor from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of each of the Funds. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

responsiveness to concerns raised by them, including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and 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 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 adviser, 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 Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” 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 does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for these Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Advisor, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, securities lending and other related services.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Senior Officer/Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer for the International Equity Fund and International Equity Index Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Emerging Economies Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Global Focus Fund, International Opportunities Fund, International Value Fund and Intrepid International Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. 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 and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by

Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis that was done by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the performance of the Emerging Economies Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s performance was in the fourth, second and second quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five- year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Global Focus Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Equity Fund’s performance was in the first, second and third quintiles for Class A shares and in the first, first and second quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment

strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Equity Index Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Opportunities Fund’s performance was in the second, third and second quintiles for Class A and in the second quintile for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the International Value Fund’s performance was in the third, third and first quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five- year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid International Fund’s performance was in the fourth, fifth and fourth quintiles for Class A shares for the one-, three- and five- year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and in the fourth and fifth quintiles for Select Class shares for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and concluded that they were satisfied with the Advisor’s analysis of the Fund’s performance, however, they requested that the Fund’s Advisor provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the equity subcommittee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual

advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. 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 Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Emerging Economies Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the third and fourth quintiles, respectively of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

NOVEMBER 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting

period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year.

A MESSAGE FROM GARY J. MADICH

Global Chief Investment Officer for J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Global Fixed Income Group

DECEMBER 6, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

With the recent market turmoil still fresh in the minds of many investors, new assets have poured into bond funds since the market bottomed in March 2009. Investors seem to be drawn to the perception of bonds’ relative safety versus other investments, likely a reaction to the sharp decline in stock prices in 2008 and early 2009 and the general uncertainty prevalent in today’s marketplace. While we believe that bonds play an essential role in any well-diversified portfolio, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the risks associated with bond funds and the importance of diversification.

Bond prices generally decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Currently, interest rates are at very low levels and most fixed income portfolios would be negatively impacted in an environment where interest rates may increase, as the fixed income securities held in the portfolios would likely decrease in value. This is a broad risk that applies to most portfolios of bonds across the spectrum of the fixed income market. Bond portfolios comprised mostly of municipal bonds share this risk and also carry other risks specific to the nature of their asset class.

The ability of states and municipalities to repay their debt could be hindered by unfavorable local economic or political events, a risk that has garnered recent attention as many states have

seen their growing budget deficit challenges become the topic of newspaper headlines. Acknowledging the challenges that are facing many states and municipalities, our municipal and tax free funds have maintained their bias towards bonds with high credit quality and sectors that have historically demonstrated lower volatility.

While we certainly believe that municipal bonds are a valuable tool for many investors, the risks associated with these investments serve as a stark reminder about the importance of a well-diversified portfolio. As an investor, the best way to guard against any type of risk is to proactively build a well-diversified portfolio, a portfolio that is able to withstand and benefit from a variety of future outcomes.

On behalf of the Fund’s fixed income portfolio management team,

Gary J. Madich

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

U.S. Stock Market

U.S stocks continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. U.S. stock prices declined in the second quarter of 2010 as risk aversion returned in April amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. However, U.S. stocks recovered during the third quarter of 2010 and into October 2010 on strong corporate earnings, better-than-expected economic data, a return of merger and acquisition activity and accommodative policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve. In the end, the S&P 500 Index finished the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 with a 16.52% return.

Tax-Free Fixed Income Market

Yields fell to historical lows in the tax-free fixed income market, which experienced large asset inflows and a favorable supply/demand environment. New debt issuance in the tax-free market continued to decline and was significantly lower when viewed without Build America Bonds (BABS), which remained a large portion of new issuance during the reporting period. BABS were created as part of the federal government’s stimulus plan that was passed in early 2009. These are taxable municipal bonds, in which the federal government rebates back 35% of the interest cost to the issuing entity. The more cyclical and lower-rated sectors of the municipal market outperformed the overall tax-free market.

JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund*

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Institutional Class Shares)**      15.64%   
S&P 500 Index      16.52%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 472,717   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high after tax total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Institutional Class Shares) underperformed the S&P 500 Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s stock selection in the systems hardware sector detracted from the Fund’s relative performance, while the Fund’s stock selection in the industrial cyclical sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Hewlett-Packard Co. and Norfolk Southern. Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co. declined after the resignation of the company’s chief executive officer. Railroad operator Norfolk Southern was hurt as lower freight volumes during the economic downturn and the threat of tighter federal regulation created headwinds for the company towards the end of 2009.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Deere & Co. and Yum! Brands, Inc. Shares of Deere & Co. rose after the construction and agricultural machinery company raised its full year 2010 net profit outlook. Shares of Yum! Brands, Inc. rose after the fast food restaurant operator reaffirmed its full year 2010 earnings outlook, citing strong growth in its China-based restaurants.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. As a result of the Fund’s bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, the Fund’s largest overweight was in the media sector and the Fund’s largest underweight was in the utilities sector.

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 S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund 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 Large-Cap Core 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 S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of

the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category, as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      4.80%   
Barclays Capital 1-10 Year U.S. TIPS Index      7.51%   
Barclays Capital Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1-17 Year) Maturities Index      6.80%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 3,190,339   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund used zero-coupon inflation-swaps in combination with tax-exempt municipal bonds to create a synthetic portfolio of inflation protected securities. The Fund was designed to protect the total return generated by its tax-exempt fixed income holdings from inflation risk. The zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps used by the Fund were based on cumulative percentage movements in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). The swaps are structured so that one counterparty agrees to pay the cumulative percentage change in the CPI-U over the duration of the swap. The other counterparty (the Fund) pays a compounded fixed rate (zero coupon inflation-swap rate), which is based on the “breakeven inflation rate,” calculated as the yield difference between a nominal U.S. Treasury security and a U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) of equal maturity.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the Barclays Capital 1-10 Year U.S. TIPS Index (the “TIPS Benchmark”) and the Barclays Capital Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1-17 Year) Maturities Index (the “Municipal Bond Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010.

When comparing the Fund’s performance against the TIPS Benchmark, it is important to think about the Fund’s return on a tax-adjusted basis. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) generate income that is fully taxable, whereas the Fund attempts to provide investors with inflation protection that is more tax-efficient. During the reporting period, the Fund’s municipal securities generated a higher after-tax return than similar maturity U.S. Treasury securities because of the municipal market’s higher tax equivalent yield. The taxable equivalent yield is the amount that a taxable investment (such as a U.S. Treasury Note) would have to return in order to generate the same amount of income as a tax-exempt investment of equal maturity. As of October 31, 2010, assuming a 35% tax rate, the taxable equivalent yield for a General Obligation AAA municipal bond with a 7 year maturity was 2.94%. As of October 31, 2010, a U.S. Treasury Note with a 7 year maturity was yielding 1.89%, 105 basis points (1.05%) lower than the

taxable equivalent return of a General Obligation AAA municipal bond with a 7 year maturity.

The Fund’s fixed income investments were allocated primarily among high-quality general obligation bonds, prerefunded bonds (bonds that are secured with U.S. government securities) and essential-service revenue bonds. This allocation hurt the Fund’s relative performance versus the Municipal Bond Benchmark as investors preferred riskier lower-quality municipal bonds during the reporting period.

On an absolute basis and relative to the Municipal Bond Benchmark, duration was a key driver of the Fund’s tax-exempt fixed income investments’ performance during the reporting period. Duration is used to measure the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, bonds with shorter duration will experience a smaller increase/drop in price as interest rates go down/up versus bonds with longer duration. Across most sectors and ratings segments, the Fund’s fixed income securities with longer duration outperformed, while the Fund’s holdings with shorter duration underperformed as interest rates declined.

HOW DID THE FUND’S INFLATION PROTECTION STRATEGY IMPACT PERFORMANCE?

The Fund’s zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps detracted from the Fund’s absolute return. However, as a result of the Fund’s tactical active management of the zero-coupon inflation-swaps, the Fund’s return from zero-coupon inflation-swaps, while negative, was better than the return for zero coupon inflation-swaps as measured by the 5 year Barclays Capital Inflation Swap Zero Coupon USD ERI index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010.

In addition, the Fund’s zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps detracted from the Fund’s relative performance versus the TIPS Benchmark, as the zero-coupon inflation-swap rate underperformed the TIPS breakeven rate. The zero-coupon inflation-swap rate is used to measure the Fund’s inflation-linked swaps as compared to TIPS. The TIPS breakeven rate is the yield difference between a nominal U.S. Treasury security and a TIPS of equal maturity.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Among tax-exempt fixed income investments, the Fund maintained its quality bias, as the Fund’s portfolio managers preferred

higher-quality issuances. For liquidity and to enhance the Fund’s overall credit quality, the Fund purchased prerefunded bonds during the reporting period. The Fund reduced its exposure to the tobacco sector due to concerns about downgrade risks.

The Fund’s portfolio managers also maintained an inflation-overlay hedging strategy, using zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps to purchase protection against inflation along the yield curve. Accordingly, the Fund can have an overweight or underweight exposure to inflation protection on different areas of the yield curve (i.e. if the Fund’s portfolio managers expect low inflation in the short-term, the Fund will have less inflation protection on the short end of the yield curve). The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to actively monitor the Fund’s inflation hedge and made tactical adjustments as appropriate.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high after tax total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) underperformed the S&P 500 Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s stock selection in the systems hardware sector detracted from the Fund’s relative performance, while the Fund’s stock selection in the industrial cyclical sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Hewlett-Packard Co. and Microsoft Corp. Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co. declined after the resignation of the company’s chief executive officer. Shares of Microsoft Corp. declined as the market continued to debate whether the introduction of tablets will take share from PCs and notebooks or represent incremental demand. In addition, Microsoft Corp.’s lack of a tablet offering caused some investors to question the longer term growth prospects for the company.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Deere & Co. and Yum! Brands, Inc. Shares of Deere & Co. rose after the construction and agricultural machinery company raised its full year 2010 net profit outlook. Shares of Yum! Brands, Inc. rose after the fast food restaurant operator reaffirmed its full year 2010 earnings outlook, citing strong growth in its China-based restaurants.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. As a result of the Fund’s bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, the Fund’s largest overweight was in the media sector and the Fund’s largest underweight was in the utilities sector.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (10/31/00 TO 10/31/10)

 

LOGO

 

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. 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.

Returns for Class A, Class B and Class C Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Select Class Shares. The actual returns of Class A, Class B and Class C Shares would have been lower than shown because Class A, Class B and Class C Shares have higher expenses than Select Class Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index from October 31, 2000 to October 31, 2010. 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 S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses, such as investment management fees, or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund 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 Large-Cap Core 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 S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged broad-based index that is used as a representation of the U.S. stock market. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category, as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

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

Tax Aware strategies seek to reduce capital gains. There can be no guarantee the strategy will eliminate them.

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.

Because Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class B reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 3 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Tax Aware Equity Fund    Institutional Class    Diversified
Tax Aware Real Return Fund    Class A, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified
Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified

Effective December 10, 2010, Tax Aware Disciplined Equity Fund was renamed Tax Aware Equity Fund with the approval of the Board of Trustees.

Effective November 1, 2009, Class B Shares of the Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund may not be purchased or acquired by new or existing shareholders, except through exchanges from Class B Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund and dividend reinvestments. Shareholders who have invested in Class B Shares prior to November 1, 2009 may continue to hold their Class B Shares until they convert automatically to Class A Shares.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class B and Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Institutional Class and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. 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. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. 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 be 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 equity securities 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 values.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following tables represent each valuation input by sector as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”) (amounts in thousands):

### All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 are disclosed individually in the SOI. Please refer to the SOI for industry specifics of the portfolio holdings.

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is a security which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately its fair value and includes, but is not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.

C. Futures Contracts — The Tax Aware Equity Fund and Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund use index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Funds buy futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the

notional amount 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 Funds’ credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

As of October 31, 2010, the Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund had no future contracts outstanding.

Average Notional Balance Long

     $ 7,438         $ 2,855   

Ending Notional Balance Long

       5,014             

D. Swaps — The Tax Aware Real Return Fund uses inflation-linked swaps to provide inflation protection within its portfolio. These transactions are negotiated contracts between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows at specified, future intervals. The notional value of these swaps increased during the period, with the increase in the Fund’s net assets as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Interest Rate-Related Swaps (Inflation-Linked Swaps)  

Average Notional Balance — Pays Fixed Rate

   $ 1,699,500   

Ending Notional Balance — Pays Fixed Rate

   $ 2,370,500   

The use of swaps exposes the Fund to interest rate risk. The Fund also may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying rate (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to the swap, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

The value of a swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement.

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Fund’s outstanding swap contracts with the counterparty in the form of cash or securities. These amounts are held in segregated accounts with the fund’s or counterparty’s custodial bank, as applicable.

Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts.

Collateral posted by the Fund is invested in an affiliated money market fund (See Note 3.F.) and is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Investments in affiliates — restricted.

The Fund’s swap contracts at net value and collateral posted or received by counterparty as of October 31, 2010 is as follows (amounts in thousands):

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2010 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

F. 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 a Fund first learns of the dividend.

G. Allocation of Income and Expenses — In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to its Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

H. 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. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Funds’ conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

I. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Tax Aware Real Return Fund declares and pays dividends from net investment income monthly. Tax Aware Equity Fund and Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund declare and pay dividends from net investment income quarterly. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital        Accumulated
Undistributed/
(Overdistributied)
Net Investment
Income
       Accumulated
Net Realized

     $ (5,670      $ 15         $ 5,655   

Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund

                 22           (22

The reclassification for the Funds relate primarily to expiration of capital loss carryforwards (Tax Aware Equity Fund) and distributions from litigation recovery (Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund).

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or 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 supervises the investments of each respective Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The annual fee rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Tax Aware Equity Fund

     0.35

Tax Aware Real Return Fund

     0.35   

Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund

     0.45   

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

B. Administration Fee — 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 J.P. Morgan Funds 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. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the annual effective rate was 0.09% of each Fund’s average daily 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 Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class B and Class C Shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class B        Class C  

Tax Aware Real Return Fund

       0.25        n/a           0.75

Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund

       0.25           0.75        0.75   

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class B and Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Distributor retained the following amounts (in thousands):

H. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor, the 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 Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to accordance with the Plan performance of their duties as a Trustee. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, 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 broker/dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker/dealers affiliated with the Advisor.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

   $ 5,670   

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 J.P. Morgan 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 15, 2011.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010. Average borrowings from the Facility for the year ended October 31, 2010, were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund

     $ 8,249           3         $ —  (a) 

 

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.

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 to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, 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.

One or more affiliate of the Advisor have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Funds’ assets. Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

Tax Aware Real Return Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a diversified portfolio of debt obligations issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the District of Columbia, and by their political subdivisions and duly constituted authorities. An issuer’s ability to meet its payment obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state or region. These debt obligations may be insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of issuer default. The value of these investments may be impacted by changes to bond insurers’ ratings and a fund’s ability to collect principal and interest, in the event of an issuer’s default, may be limited if the private insurer does not have the wherewithal to satisfy its obligation.

Tax Aware Real Return Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparties (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e. close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements with certain counterparties allow the Fund and counterparty to offset certain derivatives instruments’ payables or receivables with collateral posted to a segregated custody account as described in Note 2.D.

8. Subsequent Event

On November 18, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the merger of the JPMorgan Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund into the JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund. Completion of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by the shareholders of the JPMorgan Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund. This approval will be sought at a shareholder meeting to be held on or about March 16, 2011. If approved by shareholders, the merger is expected to occur on or about March 25, 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund, JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund, JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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 AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment subcommittees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet as needed for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of each of the investment advisory agreements for the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of each of the Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees

discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Advisor from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of each of the Funds. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

responsiveness to concerns raised by them, including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and 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 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 adviser, 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 Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” 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 does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for Funds that do not primarily invest in U.S. equities.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Advisor, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. For the Tax Aware Real Return Fund and Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund, the Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Tax Aware Equity Fund, Tax Aware Real Return Fund and Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. 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 and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative

classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis that was done by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Equity Fund’s performance was in the second, second and third quintiles for Institutional Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return Fund’s performance was in the first and fourth quintiles for Class A and in the first and fifth quintiles for Select Class shares for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable. However, they requested the Fund’s Advisor provide additional performance information to be reviewed with members of the fixed income subcommittee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund’s performance was in the second, third and third quintiles for Class A and in the second, second and third quintiles for Select Class shares for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. 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 Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for Institutional Class shares was in the second quintile and that the actual total expenses were in the first quintile of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares were in the third and fourth quintiles, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the second and fourth quintiles, respectively, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware U.S. Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the second quintile and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the first and second quintiles, respectively, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

November 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of

the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P.

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Stock markets in most parts of the world continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Stock prices declined in the second quarter of 2010, as risk aversion returned in April amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. However, stocks recovered during the third quarter of 2010 and into October on strong corporate earnings, better-than-expected economic data, a return of merger and acquisition activity and accommodative policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. While most stock markets advanced for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, there was clear separation among regions and countries. Emerging market stocks were bolstered by strong gross domestic product (GDP) growth in most developing countries, as the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index gained 23.89% and was among the best performing stock indexes during the reporting period, outperforming the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index’s 8.36% gain and the S&P 500 Index’s 16.52% return.

Asia ex-Japan and Greater China

The MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index finished the reporting period with a 23.27% gain amid strong economic data, supported by infrastructure development and consumption growth in China and India. The Thailand stock market performed particularly well as investor fears about the country’s political unrest appeared to abate and they turned their focus to the country’s strong corporate profitability. Indonesian stocks were also strong, while export-oriented countries like South Korea and Taiwan lagged.

Meanwhile, investors appeared to be concerned that the Chinese government would be forced to take additional measures to clamp down on the surging Chinese economy and ward off inflation, potentially causing a sharp pullback in economic activity (also known as a “hard landing”). However, concerns about a hard landing in China failed to materialize and the Chinese stock market rallied, with the MSCI Golden Dragon Index gaining 16.14% for the reporting period.

India

The MSCI India Index gained 34.93% for the reporting period, supported by strong corporate earnings and robust flows from foreign investors into the Indian market. In addition, the country’s monetary policy tightening was in line with investor expectations, creating optimism among investors that the Reserve Bank of India was attempting to maintain continued economic growth as it took measures to control inflation.

Europe

European stocks lagged stocks in other parts of the world, as the MSCI Europe Index returned 8.33% for the reporting period. While European policymakers and the International Monetary Fund responded to the region’s fiscal crisis with an aggressive emergency funding package, skepticism remained surrounding the unity of European leaders, as well as the austerity measures being taken by weaker European countries to lower their deficits.

Latin America and Russia

The MSCI Emerging Market (EM) Latin America Index returned 23.51% for the reporting period. Brazil had strong GDP growth, and the country’s central bank responded by raising interest rates. Mexico saw its GDP recover from low levels in 2009, the Mexican central bank held interest rates steady. Meanwhile, the MSCI Russia Index returned 13.38%, supported by increasing demand for commodities. In contrast to currencies of many other emerging market countries, which appreciated versus the U.S. dollar during the reporting period, the Russian ruble was essentially flat.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      26.31%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Country (“AC”) Asia ex-Japan Index      23.27%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 1,809,038   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Asia Equity Fund (the “Fund”) will seek total return from long-term capital growth. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, helped by strong stock selection. The Fund’s stock selection was strongest in Singapore, while the Fund’s stock selection in Taiwan detracted from relative performance. From a country allocation standpoint, strength from the Fund’s overweight positions in Thailand and Indonesia more than offset relative weakness from not owning outperforming Malaysian equities and the Fund’s underweight position in Hong Kong.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Banpu PCL, a Thailand-based coal producer, Samsung Engineering Co., Ltd., a Korea-based construction company and Siam Cement PCL, a chemicals and cement provider based in Thailand. Each of these companies benefited from infrastructure development and increasing economic growth in Asia’s developing economies.

Individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Richtek Technology Corp. and Yanlord Land Group Ltd. Shares of Taiwan-based Richtek Technology Corp. declined on concerns that an oversupplied

transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panel and screen market would lower demand for the TFT-LCD parts that the company manufacturers. Yanlord Land Group Ltd. is a real estate development company tied to the Chinese real estate market. Property stocks in the greater China region declined broadly on investor concerns about the Chinese government’s measures to cool its surging property market, such as raising the installment requirement for second-home purchases and raising the mortgage rates applied to these purchases. The Fund’s overweight position in KB Financial Group, Inc. also detracted from relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. As a result of this process, the Fund was overweight in China, Singapore, Thailand and India. The Fund was underweight in export-driven economies such as South Korea and Taiwan.

The Fund’s portfolio managers remained optimistic about domestic consumption and infrastructure spending across most countries in Asia. The Fund invested in companies that the Fund’s portfolio managers believed were well positioned to take advantage of Asia’s consumption growth and improving environment for consumer lending, as well as those companies that appeared poised to benefit from continued spending on infrastructure development.

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. 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 November 1, 2001.

Returns for the Select Class and Institutional Class Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Class A Shares. The actual returns of Select Class and Institutional Class Shares would have been different than shown because Select Class and Institutional Class Shares have different expenses than Class A Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Asia Equity Fund, the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index and the Lipper Pacific ex Japan Funds Index from November 1, 2001 to October 31, 2010. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the indices reflects an initial investment at the end of the month closest to the Fund’s inception. The performance of the MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation trea-

ties. The performance of the Lipper Pacific ex Japan 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 MSCI All Country Asia ex Japan Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance in Asia, excluding Japan. The Lipper Pacific ex Japan Funds Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan China Region Fund (the “Fund”) will seek long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the MSCI Golden Dragon Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, as strong stock selection in China more than offset negative stock selection in Taiwan.

The largest individual contributor to relative performance was the Fund’s overweight position in China Yurun Food Group Ltd., a chicken and pork supplier. Other individual contributors included the Fund’s overweight positions in Industrial & Commercial Bank of China and retail company Intime Department Store Group Co., Ltd., both of which were not held in the Benchmark. All three of these companies benefited from the continued growth of China’s economy and consumption growth driven by the country’s emerging middle class.

Individual detractors included Chimei Innolux Corp. and China Resources Land Ltd. Taiwan-based Chimei Innolux Corp., which produces transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panel modules and LCD monitors, declined on concerns about an oversupply of LCD panels and monitors. China Resources Land Ltd. is a real estate development company tied to the Chinese real estate market. Property stocks in the greater China region declined broadly on investor concerns about the Chinese government’s measures to cool its surging property market, such as raising the installment requirement for second-home purchases and raising the mortgage rates applied to these purchases. Not owning HTC Corp., a Taiwan-based handheld phone manufacturer, also hurt the Fund’s relative performance as the stock was a strong performer in the Benchmark during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom up fundamental approach to stock selection, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential

for future earnings growth. As a result of this process, the Fund was overweight China, focusing on companies tied to the stabilization of China’s economy and consumption growth driven by the country’s emerging middle class. While the Fund’s portfolio managers selectively added to Taiwanese technology companies, they still believed that the country was unattractive on a relative basis because of its economy’s large dependence on exports.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan India Fund (the “Fund”) will seek long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the MSCI India Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, largely driven by strong stock selection and, to a lesser extent, the Fund’s sector allocation.

Several of the Fund’s largest individual contributors to relative performance were in the financial sector. These contributors included the Fund’s overweight positions in IndusInd Bank Ltd. and HDFC Bank Ltd, which benefited from continued signs of improvement in India’s consumer lending environment. Somewhat offsetting these relative gains were the Fund’s modest underweight positions in ICICI Bank Ltd. and Axis Bank Ltd., two Indian financial stocks held by the Benchmark that performed strongly, hurting the Fund’s relative performance.

Several of the Fund’s holdings in the auto sector contributed to relative performance, including the Fund’s overweight positions in Tata Motors Ltd. and Bajaj Auto Ltd. Both of these car manufacturers were beneficiaries of India’s consumption growth. In addition, Tata Motors Ltd. benefited from a positive outlook for the company’s Jaguar unit. Not owning car manufacturer Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. somewhat offset these relative gains as the stock was a strong performer in the Benchmark.

Another individual detractor was the Fund’s overweight position in Tata Power Co., Ltd., as the utility company underperformed.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed bottom-up fundamental research, rigorously researching companies to

determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. They continued to focus on well-managed, leading blue-chip companies with strong and visible earnings profiles.

The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI India Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid European Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return from long-term capital growth. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the MSCI Europe Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s overweight position in the outperforming consumer discretionary sector and positive stock selection in the industrials sector more than offset relative weakness from the Fund’s stock selection in the energy and health care sectors.

Individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included holdings in Bekaert S.A. and Lanxess AG, both of which were not held in the Benchmark. Bekaert S.A., a Belgium-based producer of steel cord used in tires, reported better-than-expected profit for the first half of 2010. The company also raised its earnings forecasts, citing the growth of its operations in China. Shares of German-based Lanxess AG, a specialty chemical provider, benefited from the company’s disciplined cost-cutting measures and recovering demand in its end markets.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included integrated energy company BP plc. Shares of BP plc declined amid investor uncertainty over the costs of an oil spill from one of the company’s rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Other

individual detractors included the Fund’s position in Lloyds Banking Group plc. The Fund was underweight Lloyds Banking Group plc when it reported better-than-expected first quarter results, which led the Fund’s portfolio managers to purchase the stock and establish an overweight position. However, later in the reporting period, Lloyds Banking Group plc reported disappointing results that caused its share price decline and the Fund’s portfolio managers to trim the portfolio’s position. Overall, the Fund’s positioning in the stock detracted from relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers selected stocks using a rigorous and disciplined investment process that focused on fundamentally sound attractively valued stocks and fast-growing stocks with strong earnings growth that were supported by positive news. Therefore, portfolio positions continued to flow from bottom-up stock selection rather than top-down asset allocation decisions. As a result of this investment process, the Fund’s largest overweights versus the Benchmark on average during the reporting period were in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund’s largest underweights versus the Benchmark were in the consumer staples and financials sectors. From a country perspective, the Fund’s largest overweights versus the Benchmark were Germany and Norway and the Fund’s largest underweights versus the Benchmark were France and the United Kingdom. In addition, the Fund employed futures to help manage cash flows.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:

Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 57,792   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Latin America Fund (the “Fund”) will seek long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) significantly outperformed the MSCI EM Latin America Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s stock selection in the energy sector and overweight in the industrials sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s stock selection in the materials and utilities sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.

The largest individual contributor to relative performance was the Fund’s underweight position in Brazilian energy company Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”), which constituted roughly 14% of the Benchmark. Shares of Petrobras declined during the reporting period on concerns regarding the structure of an offering that allowed the Brazilian government to purchase shares of the company. The Fund’s overweight positions in Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. and Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. (“Gol Airlines”) also contributed to relative performance. Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. is an oil exploration and production company. Shares of the company rose due to its increasing oil production. Shares of PetroGol Airlines benefited from a strong rebound in domestic travel.

Individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Tam S.A. (Tam Airlines) and Gerdau S.A. Investor concerns that Tam Airlines would acquire another airline for a higher price than the market expected weighed on the stock during the reporting period. Shares of Gerdau S.A., a Brazil-based producer of long rolled steel, declined as the appreciating Brazil Real caused steel imports to rise, hurting the steel industry in Brazil.

The Fund’s relative performance was also hurt by not owning Companhia De Bebidas Das Americas Ads, a Brazil-based alcoholic beverage provider that was a strong performer in the Benchmark.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund employed an active, concentrated strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the highest-conviction ideas found at the stock level. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-fundamental

research to determine the Fund’s security weightings against the Benchmark, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future growth. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest overweight was in the industrials sector and the Fund’s largest underweight was in the energy sector. From a country perspective, the Fund was overweight in Argentina, which is not represented in the Benchmark. The Fund was underweight in Brazil, where the Fund’s portfolio managers sold strongly performing holdings during the reporting period.

JPMorgan Russia Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      34.79%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Russia Index      13.38%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 24,792   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Russia Fund (the “Fund”) will seek long-term capital growth.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) significantly outperformed the MSCI Russia Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. The Fund’s stock selection and overweight in the consumer staples sector contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, as did the Fund’s underweight in the energy sector. The Fund’s stock selection in the financials and materials sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.

The largest individual contributor to relative performance was the Fund’s underweight position in Russian energy company Gazprom OAO, which constituted roughly 27% of the Benchmark. The Fund’s overweight position in Magnit OJSC also contributed to relative performance. Shares of Magnit OJSC rose as the grocery-store operator benefited from signs that it is taking market share from smaller locally operated grocery stores, which represent the majority in the Russian grocery-store industry.

In the financials sector, the contribution from the Fund’s overweight position in Sberbank of Russia more than offset the drag on the Fund’s relative performance from not owning VTB Bank, a strong performing stock in the Benchmark.

Individual detractors from relative performance included KazMunaiGas Exploration Production, an oil and gas exploration company based in Kazakhstan. Shares of the company were hurt by the Kazakhstan government’s decision in August 2010 to increase the country’s oil export tax. Additionally, not owning Novatek, a gas producer, hurt the Fund’s relative performance, as the stock was a strong performer in the Benchmark.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund employed an active, concentrated strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the highest-conviction

ideas found at the stock level. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-fundamental research to determine the Fund’s security weightings relative to the Benchmark, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future growth. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest overweight was in the consumer staples sector and the Fund’s largest underweight was in the energy sector.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (2/28/07 TO 10/31/10)

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. 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, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Russia Fund, the MSCI Russia Index and the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index from February 28, 2007 to October 31, 2010. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Russia Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Emerging Markets 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 MSCI Russia Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index

that is designed to measure the equity market performance in Russia. The Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 6 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Asia Equity Fund    Class A, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified
China Region Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified
India Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified
Intrepid European Fund    Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class and Select Class    Diversified
Latin America Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified
Russia Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified

Effective November 1, 2009, Class B Shares of Intrepid European Fund may not be purchased or acquired by new or existing shareholders, except through exchanges from Class B Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund and dividend reinvestments. Shareholders who have invested in Class B Shares prior to November 1, 2009 may continue to hold their Class B Shares until they convert automatically to Class A Shares.

The outstanding Class R5 Shares of China Region Fund, India Fund, Latin America Fund and Russia Fund were redeemed on June 14, 2010 and the share class was closed.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class B and Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Institutional Class and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. 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 be 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 equity securities 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 values.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Transfers into, and out of, Level 3 are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the period.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 or from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to a decline or an increase in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack of or increase in available market inputs to determine price.

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at October 31, 2010, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) was as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Russia Fund

   $ (7

These amounts are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is a security which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately its fair value and includes, but is not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.

The following is the value and percentage of net assets of illiquid securities as of October 31, 2010 (amounts in thousands):

 

        Value        Percentage  

Russia Fund

     $ 13           0.1

C. Futures Contracts — The Intrepid European Fund uses index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Fund buys futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Intrepid European Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund 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. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Intrepid European Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contract are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

F. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries (such as Brazil) that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

G. Securities Lending — The Funds may lend securities to brokers approved by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or the “Advisor”) in order to generate additional income. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Funds, serves as lending agent for the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Securities Lending Agreement effective February 9, 2010 (“Securities Lending Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash, which is invested in Capital Shares of the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower the posted cash collateral. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

Securities lending income is comprised of income earned on cash collateral investments (“Collateral Investments”), net of a rebate received from or paid to borrowers for use of cash collateral and lending agent fees. This amount is recorded as Income from securities lending (net) on the Statements of Operations. The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Intrepid European Fund earned approximately $14,000 from the investment of cash collateral, prior to rebates or fees, from an investment in an affiliated fund as described below.

At the inception of a loan, securities are exchanged for cash collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of loaned U.S. dollar-denominated securities plus accrued interest and 105% of the value of loaned non-dollar-denominate securities, plus accrued interest. The Securities Lending Agreement requires that the loaned securities be marked to market on a daily basis and additional cash collateral is requested from borrowers when the cash received from borrowers becomes less than 102% and 105% of the value of loaned U.S. dollar denominated and non-dollar denominated securities, respectively, subject to certain de minimis guidelines.

The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of Collateral Investments are disclosed in the SOIs. At October 31, 2010, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of Collateral Investments were as follows (amount in thousands):

 

        Value of
Securities
on Loan
       Cash
Collateral
Posted by
Borrower
       Total Value of
Collateral
Investments
 

Intrepid European Fund

     $ 2,912         $ 3,042         $ 3,042   

The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the Collateral Investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the Collateral Investments decline below the amount owed to a borrower, a Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, a Fund may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Advisor does not believe that it is prudent to sell the Collateral Investments to fund the payment of this liability.

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, JPMCB has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

The Advisor of the Funds waived fees of approximately $9,000 associated with the Intrepid European Fund’s investment in JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund.

These amounts offset the administration fees and shareholder servicing fees incurred by JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund related to the Funds’ investment in such fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

Under the Securities Lending Agreement, JPMCB is entitled to a fee, paid monthly in arrears equal to (i) 0.03% of the average dollar value of the loans of U.S. dollar-denominated securities outstanding during a given month; and (ii) 0.09% of the average dollar value of loans of non-dollar-denominated securities outstanding during a given month.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

The Intrepid European Fund incurred lending agent fees to JPMCB of approximately $9,000 for the year ended October 31, 2010.

H. 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 a Fund first learns of the dividend.

I. Allocation of Income and Expenses — In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to its Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

J. 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. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Funds’ conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

K. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/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.

L. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital        Accumulated
Undistributed/
(Overdistributed)
Net Investment
Income
       Accumulated
Net Realized

The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to passive foreign investment company (PFIC) gains and losses (China Region Fund and Latin America Fund), net operating loss (India Fund, Latin America Fund and Russia Fund), foreign futures contracts (Intrepid European Fund) and foreign currency gains or losses (Asia Equity Fund, China Region Fund, Intrepid European Fund and Latin America Fund).

M. Redemption Fees — Generally, shares of the Funds held for less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee of 2.00%, based on the redeemed share’s market value. Redemption fees are paid directly to the applicable Fund and are credited to paid in capital.

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

 

 
66       J.P. MORGAN COUNTRY/REGION FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2010


Table of Contents

 

 

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 J.P. Morgan 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 15, 2011.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the year 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 to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, 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.

One or more affiliates of the Advisor have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Funds, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Funds’ assets for Asia Equity Fund and China Region Fund. Additionally, Russia Fund has a shareholder, which is an account maintained by a financial intermediary on behalf of its clients, that owns a significant portion of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

In addition, the J.P. Morgan Investor Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, own, in the aggregate more than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows:

 

      J.P. Morgan
Investor Funds
 

Latin America Fund

     60.8

Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2010, substantially all of the Funds’ net assets consisted of securities of issuers that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment income from such securities.

As of October 31, 2010, the Asia Equity Fund invested approximately 31.6% of its total investments in China.

As of October 31, 2010, the Intrepid European Fund invested approximately 25.2% and 24.3% of its total investments (excluding Investments of Cash Collateral for Securities on Loan) in the United Kingdom and Germany, respectively.

China Region Fund

Investing in securities of “China Region companies” may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. In general, China Region companies are those that are organized under the laws of, or have a principal office in, the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau) (“China”), or Taiwan; the principal securities market for which is China or Taiwan; that derives at least 50% of its total revenues or profits from goods or services that are produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in China or Taiwan; or at least 50% of the assets of which are located in China or Taiwan. Such risks include fluctuating currency values and changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility. In addition, these securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities. At October 31, 2010, the Fund had 55.8% and 24.8% of its total investments invested in China and Taiwan, respectively.

India Fund

Investing in securities of Indian companies may include certain risks typically not associated with investing in countries with more developed securities markets, such as political, economic and legal uncertainties, delays in settling portfolio transactions and the risk of loss from India’s undeveloped systems of securities and transfer.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

Latin America Fund

Investing in securities of foreign countries may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities.

At October 31, 2010, the Fund had 64.8% of its total investments invested in Brazil.

Russia Fund

Investing in securities of Russian companies may include certain risks typically not associated with investing in countries with more developed securities markets, such as political, economic and legal uncertainties, delays in settling portfolio transactions and the risk of loss from Russia’s undeveloped systems of securities and transfer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Asia Equity Fund, JPMorgan China Region Fund, JPMorgan India Fund, JPMorgan Intrepid European Fund, JPMorgan Latin America Fund and JPMorgan Russia Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Asia Equity Fund, JPMorgan China Region Fund, JPMorgan India Fund, JPMorgan Intrepid European Fund, JPMorgan Latin America Fund and JPMorgan Russia Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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 AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment subcommittees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet as needed for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of each of the investment advisory agreements for the Funds and sub-advisory agreements for the Asia Equity Fund, China Region Fund and India Fund, whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of each of the Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a

memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Advisor from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of each of the Funds. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Funds, their

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s responsiveness to concerns raised by them, including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and 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 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 adviser, 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 Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” 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 does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for these Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Advisor, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, securities lending and other related services.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Asia Equity Fund, China Region Fund, India Fund, Intrepid European Fund, Latin America Fund and Russia Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. 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 and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees

highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis that was done by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Asia Equity Fund’s performance was in the fourth quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and concluded that they were satisfied with the Advisor’s analysis of the Fund’s performance, however, they requested that the Fund’s Advisor provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the equity subcommittee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the China Region Fund’s performance was in the third quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the India Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid European Fund’s performance was in the fourth, fourth and second quintiles for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and concluded that they were satisfied with the Advisor’s analysis of the Fund’s performance, however, they requested that the Fund’s Advisor provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the equity subcommittee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the Latin America Fund’s performance was in the third quintile for the Class A shares and in the second quintile for the Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Russia Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. 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 Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Asia Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the fifth quintile, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the third quintile of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the China Region Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the fourth quintile of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

November 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe

and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P.

A MESSAGE FROM GARY J. MADICH

Global Chief Investment Officer for J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Global Fixed Income Group

DECEMBER 6, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

With the recent market turmoil still fresh in the minds of many investors, new assets have poured into bond funds since the market bottomed in March 2009. Investors seem to be drawn to the perception of bonds’ relative safety versus other investments, likely a reaction to the sharp decline in stock prices in 2008 and early 2009 and the general uncertainty prevalent in today’s marketplace. While we believe that bonds play an essential role in any well-diversified portfolio, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the risks associated with bond funds and the importance of diversification.

Bond prices generally decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Currently, interest rates are at very low levels and most fixed income portfolios would be negatively impacted in an environment where interest rates may increase, as the fixed income securities held in the portfolios would likely decrease in value. This is a broad risk that applies to most portfolios of bonds across the spectrum of the fixed income market. Bond portfolios comprised mostly of municipal bonds share this risk and also carry other risks specific to the nature of their asset class.

The ability of states and municipalities to repay their debt could be hindered by unfavorable local economic or political events, a risk that has garnered recent attention as many states have

seen their growing budget deficit challenges become the topic of newspaper headlines. Acknowledging the challenges that are facing many states and municipalities, our municipal and tax free funds have maintained their bias towards bonds with high credit quality and sectors that have historically demonstrated lower volatility.

While we certainly believe that municipal bonds are a valuable tool for many investors, the risks associated with these investments serve as a stark reminder about the importance of a well-diversified portfolio. As an investor, the best way to guard against any type of risk is to proactively build a well-diversified portfolio, a portfolio that is able to withstand and benefit from a variety of future outcomes.

On behalf of the Fund’s fixed income portfolio management team,

Gary J. Madich

JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund*      15.56%   
Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) EAFE Value Index      4.63%   
Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 187,569   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of foreign company equity securities**.

The Fund was established to implement the International Value Strategy, and to hold common shares of companies that were deemed attractive but were not accessible as American Depository Receipts (ADRs).

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Stock markets in most parts of the world continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Stock prices declined in the second quarter of 2010 as risk aversion returned in April amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. However, stocks recovered in the third quarter of 2010 and into October amid strong corporate earnings, better-than-expected economic data, a return of merger and acquisition activity and accommodative policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. While most stock markets advanced for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, there was clear separation among regions and countries.

International stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, gained 8.36%, underperforming emerging markets and U.S. stocks. The relative weakness of the MSCI EAFE Index was driven primarily by lagging European stocks. While European policymakers and the International Monetary Fund responded to the region’s fiscal crisis with an aggressive emergency funding package, skepticism remained surrounding the unity among European leaders and the impact that austerity measures would have on growth in the region.

Emerging markets stocks were bolstered by strong GDP growth in developing countries, as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.89% and was among the best performing stock indexes during the reporting period. The greater China region lagged other emerging markets. Investors were concerned that the Chinese government would be forced to take measures to clamp down on the surging Chinese economy in an effort to ward off inflation, potentially causing a sharp pullback in economic activity (also known as a “hard landing”). However, concerns about a hard landing in China failed to materialize and the Chinese stock market performed well toward the end of the reporting period.

 

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in German-based Lanxess AG and France-based Rhodia S.A., specialty chemical providers not held in the Benchmark. Both companies’ earnings received a boost from their managements’ disciplined cost-cutting measures and recovering demand in their end markets.

Another contributor to relative performance was the Fund’s overweight position in Cairn Energy plc., an independent oil and gas exploration and production company not held in the Benchmark. The stock rose as the company ramped up production following the completion of its pipeline project. In addition, Vedanta Resources announced plans to buy a controlling stake in Cairn Energy plc.’s Indian operations.

Individual detractors included the Fund’s overweight position in Lafarge S.A., a France-based building materials company that was hurt by continued weakness in European construction activity. Not owning chemical company BASF also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance as the stock was a strong performer in the Benchmark. The Fund’s position in Sidenor Steel Products Manufacturing Co. S.A., which was not held in the Benchmark, also detracted from relative performance. The Greek steel stock declined with other Greek stocks on concerns about the country’s debt crisis.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, rigorously researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. They used a proprietary dividend discount model and worked closely with analysts to identify the most attractive value stocks in each sector. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio managers employed futures to help manage cash flows.

The Fund commenced operations on August 17, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund, the MSCI EAFE Value Index and the Lipper International Large-Cap Value Funds Average from August 17, 2007 to October 31, 2010. 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 Lipper International Large-Cap Value Funds Average reflects an initial investment at the end of the month closest to the Fund’s inception. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Value Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper International Large-Cap Value Funds Average 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 MSCI EAFE Value Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of value-oriented stocks in the world’s equity markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The Lipper International Large-Cap Value Funds Average represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated category as defined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund was established to implement the Tax Aware Real Return SMA Strategy. The Fund used zero-coupon inflation-swaps in combination with tax-exempt municipal bonds to create a synthetic portfolio of inflation protected securities. The Fund was designed to protect the total return generated by its tax-exempt fixed income holdings from inflation risk. The zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps used by the Fund were based on cumulative percentage movements in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). The swaps are structured so that one counterparty agrees to pay the cumulative percentage change in the CPI-U over the duration of the swap. The other counterparty (the Fund) pays a compounded fixed rate (zero coupon inflation-swap rate), which is based on the “breakeven inflation rate,” calculated as the yield difference between a nominal U.S. Treasury security and a U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) of equal maturity.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Yields fell to historical lows in the tax-free fixed income market, which experienced large asset inflows and a favorable supply/demand environment. New debt issuance in the tax-free market continued to decline and was significantly lower when viewed without Build America Bonds (BABS), which remained a large portion of new issuance during the reporting period. BABS were created in the federal government’s stimulus plan that was passed in early 2009. These are taxable municipal bonds, in which the federal government rebates back 35% of the interest cost to the issuing entity. The more cyclical and lower-rated sectors of the municipal market outperformed the overall tax-free market.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

The Fund underperformed the Barclays Capital 1-10 Year U.S. TIPS Index (the “TIPS Benchmark”) and the Barclays Capital Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1-17 Year) Maturities Index (the “Municipal Bond Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010.

When comparing the Fund’s performance against the TIPS Benchmark, it is important to think about the Fund’s return on

a tax-adjusted basis. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) generate income that is fully taxable, whereas the Fund, which invested predominantly in high quality municipal bonds, attempts to provide investors with inflation protection that is more tax-efficient. During the reporting period, the Fund’s municipal securities generated a higher after-tax return than U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities because of the municipal market’s higher tax equivalent yield. The taxable equivalent yield is the amount that a taxable investment (such as a U.S. Treasury Note) would have to return in order to generate the same amount of income as a tax-exempt investment of equal maturity. As of October 31, 2010, assuming a 35% tax rate, the taxable equivalent yield for a General Obligation AAA municipal bond with a 7 year maturity was 2.94%. As of October 31, 2010, a U.S. Treasury Note with a 7 year maturity was yielding 1.89%, 105 basis points (1.05%) lower than the taxable equivalent return of a General Obligation AAA municipal bond with a 7 year maturity.

The Fund’s fixed income investments were allocated primarily among high-quality general obligation bonds, prerefunded bonds (bonds that are secured with U.S. government securities) and essential-service revenue bonds. This allocation hurt the Fund’s relative performance versus the Municipal Bond Benchmark as investors preferred riskier, lower-quality municipal bonds during the reporting period.

On an absolute basis and relative to the Municipal Bond Benchmark, duration was a key driver of the Fund’s tax-exempt fixed income investments’ performance during the reporting period. Duration is used to measure the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, bonds with shorter duration will experience a smaller increase/drop in price as interest rates go down/up versus bonds with longer duration. Across most sectors and ratings segments, the Fund’s fixed income securities with longer duration outperformed, while the Fund’s holdings with shorter duration underperformed as interest rates declined during the reporting period.

HOW DID THE FUND’S INFLATION PROTECTION STRATEGY IMPACT PERFORMANCE?

The Fund’s zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps detracted from the Fund’s absolute return. However, as a result of the Fund’s tactical active management of the zero-coupon inflation-swaps, the Fund’s return from these swaps, while negative, was better

Table of Contents

 

 

than the return for zero coupon inflation-linked swaps as measured by the 5 year Barclays Capital Inflation Swap Zero Coupon USD ERI index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010.

In addition, the Fund’s zero-coupon inflation-linked swaps detracted from the Fund’s relative performance versus the TIPS Benchmark, as the zero-coupon inflation-linked swap rate underperformed the TIPS breakeven rate. The zero-coupon inflation-linked swap rate is used to measure the Fund’s inflation-linked swaps as compared to TIPS. The TIPS breakeven rate is the yield difference between a nominal U.S. Treasury security and a TIPS of equal maturity.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Among tax-exempt fixed income investments, the Fund maintained its quality bias, as the Fund’s portfolio managers preferred higher-quality issuances. For liquidity and to enhance the Fund’s overall credit quality, the Fund purchased prerefunded bonds during the reporting period. The Fund reduced its exposure to the tobacco sector due to concerns about downgrade risks.

The Fund’s portfolio managers also maintained an inflation-overlay hedging strategy, using zero-coupon inflation-linked

swaps to purchase protection against inflation along the yield curve. Accordingly, the Fund can have an overweight or underweight exposure to inflation protection on different areas of the yield curve (i.e. if the Fund’s portfolio managers expect low inflation in the short-term, the Fund will have less inflation protection on the short end of the yield curve). The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to actively monitor the Fund’s inflation hedge and made tactical adjustments as appropriate.

The Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in the JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund, the Barclays Capital 1–10 Year U.S. TIPS Index, the Barclays Capital Competitive Intermediate (1–17 Year) Maturities Index, the Tax Aware Real Return Custom Benchmark and the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index from May 31, 2007 to October 31, 2010. 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 Barclays Capital 1–10 Year U.S. TIPS Index, Barclays Capital Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1–17 Year) Maturities Index and Tax Aware Real Return Custom Benchmark does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains of the securities included in the benchmarks. The performance of the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt 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 Barclays Capital 1–10 Year U.S. TIPS Index measures the performance of intermediate (1–10 Year) U.S. Treasury Inflation Protection Securities. The Barclays Capital Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1–17 Year)

Maturities Index represents the performance of municipal bonds with maturities from 1 to 17 years. The Tax Aware Real Return Custom Benchmark is determined by adding 75% of the difference between the Barclays Capital 1–10 Year U.S. TIPS Index and the Barclays Capital 1–10 Year U.S. Treasury Index to the Barclays Capital Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1–17 Year) Maturities Index. Expressed as a formula, the Composite Benchmark = [(Barclays Capital 1–10 Year U.S. TIPS Index—Barclays Capital 1–10 Year Treasury Index) X 0.75] + Barclays Capital Competitive Intermediate Municipal (1–17 Year) Maturities Index. The Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

For some investors, income from municipal bonds may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Capital gains, if any, are federally taxable. Income may be subject to state and local taxes.

Tax Aware strategies seek to reduce capital gains. There can be no guarantee the strategy will eliminate them.

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.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 2 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

            Diversified/Non-Diversified
International Value SMA Fund       Non-Diversified
Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund       Diversified

Effective February 28, 2010, the Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund changed from non-diversified to diversified.

Shares of the Funds may be purchased only by or on behalf of separately managed accounts where J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. serves as the investment advisor or subadvisor to the account with the separately managed account sponsor or directly with the client. Fund shares may not be purchased directly by individuals.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. 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. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. 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 be 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 equity securities 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 values.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

## Portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually in the SOI. Level 1 consists of a money market mutual fund that is held for daily investments of cash. Please refer to the SOI for industry specifics of the portfolio holdings.

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

B. Futures Contracts The International Value SMA Fund uses index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Fund buys futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sell futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity. The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund 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. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s derivatives activities as of October 31, 2010 (amounts in thousands):

     2,641   

C. Swaps — The Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund uses inflation-linked swaps to provide inflation protection within its portfolio. These transactions are negotiated contracts between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows at specified, future intervals.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

The notional value of these swaps increased during the period, with the increase in the Fund’s net assets as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Interest Rate-Related Swaps (Inflation-Linked Swaps):        

Average Notional Balance — Pays Fixed Rate

   $ 7,692   

Ending Notional Balance — Pays Fixed Rate

   $ 11,000   

The use of swaps exposes the Fund to interest rate risk. The Fund also may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying rate; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to the swap, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the fund to close out its position(s); and, (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms.

Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

The value of a swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement.

The Fund may be required to post collateral in the form of cash or securities which is held in segregated accounts with a fund’s custodian bank.

Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts.

E. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

F. 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 a Fund first learns of the dividend.

G. 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.

H. 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. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Funds’ conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

I. 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.

J. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually for International Value SMA Fund and monthly for Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or 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 does not charge an advisory fee to the Funds. It should be understood, however, that the Funds are an integral part of separately managed account programs. Participants in these programs pay a fee to the sponsor of the program. The Advisor will be compensated directly or indirectly by the separately managed account sponsors.

B. Administration Fee — 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 J.P. Morgan Funds 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. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the annual effective rate was 0.09% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

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 the Funds’ shares. The Distributor receives no compensation in its capacity as the Funds’ underwriter.

D. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Funds, 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 Statements of Operations. International Value SMA Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statements of Operations. For Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund, the custodian fees may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits are presented separately in the Statements of Operations.

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

E. Collateral Management Fees — JPMCB provides derivatives collateral management services for Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for these services are included in Collateral Management fees on the Statement of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — No expenses or fees (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expense related to short sales, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) are borne by the Funds pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Advisor through February 28, 2011.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, 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 — The Funds may invest in one or more Money Market Funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates.

Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor, the 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 Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to accordance with the Plan performance of their duties as a Trustee. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, 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 broker/dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker/dealers affiliated with the Advisor.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has (“SEC”) 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.

As of October 31, 2010, the Funds had net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

During the year ended October 31, 2010, International Value SMA Fund utilized approximately $6,085,000 of capital loss carryforwards.

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 J.P. Morgan 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 15, 2011.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the year 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 to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, 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.

International Value SMA Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2010, substantially all of the International Value SMA Fund’s net assets consist of securities of issuers that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income, from such securities.

As of October 31, 2010, International Value SMA Fund invested approximately 28.6% of its total investments in Japan.

The Funds each have several shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that own significant portions of the Funds’ outstanding shares. Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund invests substantially all of its assets in a diversified portfolio of debt obligations issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the District of Columbia, and by their political subdivisions and duly constituted authorities. An issuer’s ability to meet its payment obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state or region. These debt obligations may

 

 
32       J.P. MORGAN SMA FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2010


Table of Contents

 

 

be insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of issuer default. The value of these investments may be impacted by changes to bond insurers’ ratings and a fund’s ability to collect principal and interest, in the event of an issuer’s default, may be limited if the private insurer does not have the wherewithal to satisfy its obligation.

Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparties (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e. close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of the JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan International Value SMA Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including administration fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Fund in the table below, 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” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 for each Fund 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 meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment subcommittees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet as needed for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of each of the investment advisory agreements for the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of each of the Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees

discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that to the overall arrangement between the Funds and the Advisor, as provided in each Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of each of the Funds. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

responsiveness to concerns raised by them, including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees noted that there was no advisory fee charged to the Funds. The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and 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 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 adviser, 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 Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” 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 does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for these Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM earns fees from the Funds for providing administrative services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services. In addition, the Trustees considered that the Advisor receives fees from sponsors of separately managed accounts that are invested in the Funds.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that there was not an investment advisory fee charged to the Funds. 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the International Value SMA Fund and Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the Advisory Agreement or management fees including administrative fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. 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 and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees further noted that the overall fee structure of the Funds as compared to the Advisor’s other clients was reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance

against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis that was done by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the International Value SMA Fund’s performance was in the second quintile for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Funds are not charged a separate investment advisory fee by the Advisors. The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper

category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee (which is 0.00%) and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the expense of the Fund after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of expense ratios because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the International Value SMA Fund’s contractual advisory fee was 0.00% and that the actual total expenses were in the first quintile, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return SMA Fund’s contractual advisory fee was 0.00% and that the actual total expenses were in the first quintile, of its Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

NOVEMBER 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe

and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Realty Fund (the “Fund”) will seek to provide long-term capital growth.

HOW DID THE REAL ESTATE SECURITIES MARKET PERFORM?

Stock markets in most parts of the world continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Risk aversion returned in April 2010 amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis, causing stock prices to decline before better-than-expected economic data and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s accommodative policy fueled a rally in September and October. While most stock markets advanced for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, there was clear separation between regions and countries.

The international real estate securities market, while finishing the reporting period higher, also saw a wide divergence in returns across regions. European real estate securities underperformed amid investors’ concerns that European banks exposed to sovereign default risk would reign in lending. Real estate securities are more tied to the conditions in credit markets than other investments because they are required to pay out a significant amount of their retained earnings in dividends and need access to affordable credit to refinance their debt. Accordingly, real estate securities outperformed in Japan as the country’s credit market, which had lagged the rest of the world’s recovery, showed signs of improvement during the reporting period. Canadian real estate securities were also strong, helped by the country’s economic strength.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class R5 Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index and the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010.

On April 1, 2010, the Fund’s secondary benchmark changed from the GPR 250 Global (ex United States) Index to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance Index (the “Real Estate Securities Benchmark”).

 

Strong security selection in Japan was the main driver of the Fund’s outperformance versus the Real Estate Securities Benchmark. This positive contribution was partially offset by the Fund’s underweight position in Canada.

In Japan, investors’ optimism about the country’s improving credit markets benefited many of the Fund’s holdings, including Kenedix Realty Investment Corp. and Tokyu REIT, Inc., which were among the Fund’s largest individual contributors to relative performance. In addition, Tokyu REIT, Inc. raised its forecast for operating income.

The Fund’s overweight position in Singapore-based CapitaCommercial Trust also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, as the commercial real estate investment trust benefited from strong economic growth in Singapore.

On the negative side, the Fund’s underweight position in Brookfield Properties Corp. was among the largest detractors from relative performance. Brookfield Properties is a Canada-based real estate company that owns several office buildings in downtown Manhattan and benefited from the rebound in New York City’s commercial real estate market. Not owning Canada-based H&R Real Estate Investment Trust also hurt the Fund’s relative performance as it was a strong performer in the Real Estate Securities Benchmark. The Fund’s overweight position in London-based Segro plc also detracted from relative performance. Segro plc provides flexible business space in Europe and declined on concerns surrounding the potential fallout from Europe’s debt crisis.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers utilized J.P. Morgan’s network of real estate securities specialists, global economists, equity and fixed income research analysts, and real estate investors to develop a sustainable information advantage. They projected long-term cash flow for each company and valued real estate securities using a proprietary dividend discount model. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest country overweights relative to the Real Estate Securities Benchmark were in the Netherlands and Japan. The Fund’s largest country underweights relative to the Real Estate Securities Benchmark were in Canada and Switzerland.

The Fund commenced operations on November 30, 2006.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class R5 Shares of the JPMorgan International Realty Fund, MSCI EAFE Index, FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance, GPR 250 Global (ex United States) Index and Lipper International Real Estate Funds Average from November 30, 2006 to October 31, 2010. 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 MSCI EAFE Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or sales charges associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance and GPR 250 Global (ex United States) Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or sales charges associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains of the securities included in the benchmarks. The performance of the Lipper International Real Estate Funds Average 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 MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of

developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance is a subset of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index, where the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index is designed to track the performance of listed real estate companies and REITS worldwide, and the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance excludes all US companies and is net of withholding tax from the perspective of a U.S. investor. All index constituents are fully free float adjusted in accordance with FTSE’s index rules, to reflect the actual availability of stock in the market for public investment. Each FTSE constituent weighting is adjusted to reflect restricted shareholdings and foreign ownership to ensure an accurate representation of investable market capitalization. The GPR 250 Global (ex United States) Index is a subset of the GPR 250 Property Securities Index, where the GPR 250 Property Securities Index consists of the 250 most liquid property companies worldwide and uses the tradeable market capitalizations of these companies as index weights and the GPR 250 Global (ex United States) Index excludes all US companies. The GPR 250 Global (ex United States) Index returns are calculated net of withholding tax. The Fund’s secondary benchmark changed from the GPR 250 Global (ex United States) Index to the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed ex US Net of Tax US Tax Stance because the Advisor believes the new benchmark more accurately reflects the Fund’s investment strategy. The Lipper International Real Estate Funds Average is an index based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class R5 Shares have no 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a total return from a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Stock markets in most parts of the world continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Stock prices declined in the second quarter of 2010 as risk aversion returned in April amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. However, stocks recovered in the third quarter of 2010 and into October 2010 amid strong corporate earnings, better-than-expected economic data, a return of merger and acquisition activity and accommodative policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. While most stock markets advanced for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, there was clear separation among regions and countries. Emerging markets stocks were bolstered by strong gross domestic product (GDP) growth in most developing countries, as the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index gained 23.89% and was among the best performing stock indexes during the reporting period, outperforming the MSCI Europe, Australasia, and Far East (“EAFE”) Index’s 8.36% gain and the S&P 500 Index’s 16.52% return.

In fixed income markets, yields for U.S. Treasuries fell, sending their prices higher (generally, bond prices increase when yields decline). Meanwhile, the supply/demand backdrop continued to be favorable in the non-agency mortgage-backed security market, outweighing concerns about the fundamentals of the housing market. Supply for non-agency mortgage-backed securities continued to decline, while demand was strong due to the sector’s high yield relative to other areas of the fixed income market. This favorable environment helped support the non-agency mortgage market.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill

Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010. While the majority of the Fund was invested in U.S. Treasury securities and sovereign debt, the Fund’s outperformance versus the Benchmark was largely due to the tactical adjustments to the Fund’s allocations to convertible bonds and equities (“equity exposure”). At the beginning of the reporting period, the Fund’s equity exposure was approximately 10%. The Fund’s portfolio managers began to increase this exposure as volatility stabilized, with the Fund’s equity exposure reaching nearly 30% in early March. As volatility returned to the market, the Fund’s portfolio managers decreased the Fund’s equity exposure, bringing it down to as low as 7% in May 2010 when investor fears surrounding the European debt crisis escalated. The Fund’s portfolio managers gradually increased the Fund’s equity exposure as market volatility stabilized and investor fears began to abate. The Fund’s equity exposure finished the reporting period at 18%.

The Fund also held a portion of its assets in cash, approximately 30% as of the end of the reporting period. This was a drag on the Fund’s return as yields from this short-term instrument were low during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund invested in global stocks, convertible bonds, fixed income instruments, cash and cash equivalents (which were made up mainly of U.S. Treasury Obligations). In terms of the Fund’s convertible bonds, extensive research was conducted to identify companies with solid underlying fundamentals whose bonds were deemed by the Fund’s portfolio managers to be attractively valued and mispriced by the market. The Fund’s portfolio managers increased the Fund’s exposure to convertible bonds, as attractive investment opportunities materialized during the reporting period. In addition, the Fund used currency forwards for the purposes of both currency hedging and taking active currency positions, the most recent example of the latter being a long position in the Norwegian krone versus a short U.S. dollar trade.

The Fund commenced operations on March 30, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, the Strategic Preservation Composite Benchmark and the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index from March 30, 2007 to October 31, 2010. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the Strategic Preservation Composite Benchmark does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund 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 Global Flexible Portfolio 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 BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebal-anced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond 3 months from the rebalancing date. The Strategic Preservation Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indexes that includes 20% MSCI World Index, 50% Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index and 30%

BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. The Lipper Global Flexible

Portfolio Funds Index represents the total returns of the funds in the indicated

category as defined by Lipper, Inc. The performance of the MSCI World Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed-rate debt markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carries a 3.75% 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 2 separate funds of the Trust (collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
International Realty Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    Non-Diversified
Strategic Preservation Fund    Class A, Class C, Class R5 and Select Class    Non-Diversified

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Class R5 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Funds are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Funds may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. 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. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. 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 be 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 equity securities 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 values.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is a security which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately its fair value and includes, but is not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.

The following is the value and percentage of net assets of illiquid securities as of October 31, 2010:

 

        Value        Percentage  

International Realty Fund

     $ (a)        

 

(a) Security has zero value.

C. Futures Contracts — The Strategic Preservation Fund uses treasury, index and financial futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock and bond market, enhance returns, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. The Fund buys futures contracts to immediately invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the differences between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Strategic Preservation Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund 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. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

D. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries (such as Brazil) that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

E. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Funds also buy forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation under the contract settlement date. When the forward contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

G. 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 a Fund first learns of the dividend.

H. Allocation of Income and Expenses — In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to its Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

I. 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. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Funds’ conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each of the Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

J. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/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.

K. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

      Paid-in-Capital      Accumulated
Undistributed/
(Overdistributed)
Net Investment
Income
     Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss) on

   $ 1       $ 1,855       $ (1,856

Strategic Preservation Fund

     (960      1,623         (663

The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses, passive foreign investment company (PFIC) gains and losses (International Realty Fund), foreign futures contracts (Strategic Preservation Fund) and net operating loss (Strategic Preservation Fund).

L. Redemption Fees — Generally, shares of the International Realty Fund held for less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee of 2.00%, based on the redeemed share’s market value. Redemption fees are paid directly to the Fund and are credited to paid in capital.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or 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”). JPMIM supervises the investments of each respective Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The annual fee rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

International Realty Fund

     0.90

Strategic Preservation Fund

     0.60   

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

B. Administration Fee — 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 J.P. Morgan Funds 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. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the annual effective rate was 0.09% for each Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

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 Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

      Class A      Class C  

International Realty Fund

     0.25      0.75

Strategic Preservation Fund

     0.25         0.75

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 equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A      Class C      Class R5      Select Class  

International Realty Fund

       0.25      0.25      0.05      0.25

Strategic Preservation Fund

       0.25         0.25         0.05         0.25   

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 such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Funds, 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 Statements of Operations. The Funds earn interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statements of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included as Interest income from affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense, if any, paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is included in Interest expense to affiliates in the Statements 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 annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expense related to short sales, interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees’ deferred compensation plan) exceed the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A      Class C      Class R5      Select Class

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

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 Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as a Trustee. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, 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 broker/dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the International Realty Fund incurred $165 and the Strategic Preservation Fund incurred $279 in brokerage commissions with broker/dealers affiliated with the Advisor.

The Securities and Exchange Commission 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.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Strategic Preservation Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards of approximately $890,000.

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 J.P. Morgan 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 15, 2011.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the year 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 to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

7. Risks, 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.

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, own, in the aggregate 62.8% of the net assets of the International Realty Fund. Strategic Preservation Fund has several shareholders, which are accounts maintained by financial intermediaries on behalf of their clients, that own significant portions of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2010, substantially all of the International Realty Fund’s net assets consisted of securities of issuers that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment income from such securities.

As of October 31, 2010, the International Realty Fund invested approximately 27.8% of its total investments in issuers in Hong Kong. The Strategic Preservation Fund invested approximately 43.1% of its total investments in the United States.

As of October 31, 2010, the International Realty Fund invested approximately 49.6% and 26.2% of its total investments in the Real Estate Management & Development and Diversified industries, respectively.

The International Realty Fund invests primarily in shares of real estate securities. While the Fund will not invest in real estate directly, the Fund may be subject to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate. These risks may include, but are not limited to, price movement as a result of interest rate fluctuations, general and local economic conditions, and heavy cash flow dependency, in addition to securities market risks.

The Strategic Preservation Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan International Realty Fund and JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan International Realty Fund and JPMorgan Strategic Preservation Fund (each a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2010, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of each Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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 AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment subcommittees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet as needed for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of each of the investment advisory agreements for the Funds whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Funds’ performance compared to the performance of the Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of each of the Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds’ expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees

discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Advisor from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of each of the Funds. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s

responsiveness to concerns raised by them, including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and 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 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 adviser, 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 Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” 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 does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for these Funds.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Advisor, earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for each Fund 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the International Realty Fund and Strategic Preservation Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. 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 and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative

classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis that was done by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the International Realty Fund’s performance was in the fifth and third quintiles for Class A shares and in the fifth and second quintiles for the Select Class shares for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Strategic Preservation Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile both for Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009, and that the independent consultant indicated that the overall performance was satisfactory. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and concluded that they were satisfied with the Advisor’s analysis of the Fund’s performance, however, they requested that the Fund’s Advisor provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the Money Market and Alternative Products Subcommittee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. 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 Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the International Realty Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles, respectively, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

The Trustees noted that the Strategic Preservation Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the second and third quintiles, respectively, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’s Letter (Unaudited)

November 18, 2010

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

Quote

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Table of Contents

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Opportunities Plus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Stock markets in most parts of the world continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Stock prices declined in the second quarter of 2010 as risk aversion returned in April amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis. However, stocks recovered in the third quarter of 2010 and into October amid strong corporate earnings, better-than-expected economic data, a return of merger and acquisition activity and accommodative policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. While most stock markets advanced for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, there was clear separation among regions and countries.

International stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Benchmark”), gained 8.36% for the reporting period, underperforming emerging markets and U.S. stocks. The relative weakness of the MSCI EAFE Index was driven primarily by lagging European stocks. While European policymakers and the International Monetary Fund responded to the region’s fiscal crisis with an aggressive emergency funding package, skepticism remained surrounding the unity among European leaders and the impact that austerity measures would have on growth in the region.

Emerging markets stocks were bolstered by strong gross domestic product growth in developing countries, as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.89% and was among the best performing stock indexes during the reporting period. The greater China region lagged other emerging markets. Investors were concerned that the Chinese government would be forced to take measures to clamp down on the surging Chinese economy in an effort to ward off inflation, potentially causing a sharp pullback in economic activity (also known as a “hard landing”). However, concerns about a hard landing in China failed to materialize and the Chinese stock market performed well toward the end of the reporting period.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 as positive stock selection in the energy and transport services and consumer cyclical sectors offset negative stock selection in the retail and banks - capital markets sectors.

Individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in German-based Lanxess AG, a specialty chemical provider not held in the Benchmark. The company’s earnings received a boost from its management’s disciplined cost-cutting measures and recovering demand in the developed world, a growing presence in emerging markets and rising demand for synthetic rubber. Other individual contributors included the Fund’s overweight position in Volkswagen AG, as the success of the car manufacturer’s Audi brand, its strong presence in China and recovering global demand for autos fueled strong earnings growth for the first nine months of the year, overshadowing concerns about the company’s pending merger with Porsche. In addition, the Fund bought shares of integrated energy company BP plc after the company’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico had taken its toll on the stock. The Fund benefited as the stock rebounded off its lows.

Individual detractors included the Fund’s overweight positions in Lafarge S.A. and China Resources Land Ltd. Lafarge S.A., a France-based building materials company, was hurt by continued weakness in European construction activity. China Resources Land Ltd. is a real estate development company. Property stocks in the greater China region declined broadly on investor concerns about the Chinese government’s efforts to cool its surging property market, such as raising the installment requirement for second-home purchases and raising the mortgage rates applied to these purchases.

Other individual detractors included the Fund’s overweight position in Austrian biotech company Intercell AG. Management warned that the company may post a loss for 2010, due in part to on-going research & development costs.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, utilizing a proprietary dividend discount model to rank stocks within each sector. The Fund’s portfolio managers established long positions in stocks they believed were attractive and short positions in stocks they believed were unattractive. The Fund’s portfolio managers used total return swaps to replicate the performance of a portfolio of long and short positions. The Fund’s average long to-short exposure over the reporting period was 118% to 18%. In addition, the Fund employed currency forwards to bring the Fund’s currency exposure closer in line with the Benchmark.

JPMorgan International Opportunities Plus Fund

 

The Fund commenced operations on October 14, 2009.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan International Opportunities Plus Fund, the MSCI EAFE Index and the Lipper Long/Short Equity Funds Average from October 14, 2009 to October 31, 2010. 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 Lipper Long/Short Equity Funds Average reflects an initial investment at the end of the month closest to the Fund’s inception. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains of securities included in the benchmark. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the Lipper Long/Short Equity Funds Average 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 MSCI EAFE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The Lipper Long/Short Equity Funds Average is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Select Class 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I ( the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

    

Classes Offered

  

Diversified/Non-Diversified

International Opportunities Plus Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Diversified

The Fund commenced operations on October 14, 2009. Currently, the Fund is not publicly offered for investment.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 – Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at such investment company’s current day closing net asset value per share.

See Note 2.C. for further detail on portfolio swap valuation.

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. 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 Fund applies fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis

except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in its portfolio by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the 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 the Fund calculates its net asset values.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

   

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input by country as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”):

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

B. Foreign Currency Translation – The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries (such as Brazil) that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

C. Portfolio Swap – The Fund entered into a portfolio swap agreement to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and short securities. This is a highly specialized activity and a significant aspect of the Fund’s investment strategy.

Under the terms of the agreement, the swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long and short equity positions. This means that the Advisor has the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within the swap and will receive all of the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions such as: capital appreciation/depreciation, corporate actions and dividends received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap value. The swap value also includes interest charges and credits related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. These costs/credits are based on defined market rates plus or minus a specified spread and are referred to herein as “financing costs”. Positions within the

 

22


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

swap are reset on at least an annual basis and financing costs are reset monthly. During a reset, any unrealized gains/losses on positions and accrued financing costs become available for cash settlement between the Fund and the swap counterparty. Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Advisor and counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on internal limits and thresholds established at both the Fund and counterparty.

The swap involves greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the underlying positions directly including: the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying long and short securities; credit risk related to the counterparty’s failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for the swap contract which may limit the ability of the Fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. The Fund’s activities in the portfolio swap are concentrated with a single counterparty. Investing in swaps results in a form of leverage (i.e., the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities).

The value of the swap is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing prices on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; (ii) financing costs; (iii) the value of dividends; (iv) cash balances within the swap; and (v) other factors, as applicable. The value is reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as Net swap contract, at value. Changes in the value of the swap are recognized as changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statement of Operations.

Cash settlements between the Fund and counterparty are recognized as realized gains or losses on the Statement of Operations.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – The Fund may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore uses forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Fund also buys forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into.

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

E. Summary of Derivative Information – The following table presents the value of derivatives held as of October 31, 2010, by their primary underlying risk exposure and respective location on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:

F. 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, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

G. Allocation of Income and Expenses – In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to the Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

H. Federal Income Taxes – The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The 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. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Fund’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

I. Foreign Taxes – The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

J. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:

 

Paid-in-Capital     Accumulated
Undistributed/
(Overdistributed)
Net Investment
Income
     Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)
on Investments
 
$ (99   $ 86,801       $ (86,702

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses.

K. Redemption Fees – Generally, shares of the Fund held for less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee of 2.00%, based on the redeemed share’s market value. Redemption fees are paid directly to the Fund and are credited to paid in capital.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

J.P. Morgan Investor Services, Co. (“JPMIS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s 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 the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 20010, the Distributor did not retain a front-end sales charge or CDSC.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees – The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, 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 equal to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of each class.

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 Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees – JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, provides portfolio custody and accounting services for the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included as Interest income from affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

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

F. Waivers and Reimbursements – The Advisor, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expense related to short sales, interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees’ deferred compensation plan) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

Class A     Class C     Select Class  
  1.50     2.00     1.25

The contractual expense limitation agreements were in effect for the year ended October 31, 2010. The expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2011.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows. None of these parties expects the Fund to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

$ 56,164       $ 4,542       $ 12,210       $ 72,916       $ 132,964   

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates. The Advisor, Administrator and Distributor as shareholder servicing agent waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective fees each charges to the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund. A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund did not invest in any money market funds.

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

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The 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 Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as a Trustee. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Advisor.

The Fund may use related party broker/dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker/dealers affiliated with the Advisor.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

5. Federal Income Tax Matters

Aggregate
Cost
     Gross
Unrealized

     Gross

Current

     Current

    Unrealized

$ 156,532       $ (183,915   $ 373,190   

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of mark to market of forward foreign currency contracts and mark to market of unrealized gain/loss on the portfolio swap.

As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had the following net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains:

 

2017      2018      Total  
$ 1,097       $ 182,818       $ 183,915   

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order (“Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (“Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund 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 the 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 Fund because it is an investment company 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 J.P.

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

Morgan Funds including the Fund. 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 the 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 15, 2011.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the year 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 to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

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

The Fund’s shares are currently held by the Fund’s investment advisor. Once the Fund’s shares are sold to the public, the Fund’s investment advisor or an affiliate may from time to time exercise discretion on behalf of certain of its clients with respect to the purchase or sale of a significant portion of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Investment activities on behalf of these shareholders could impact the Fund.

The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year depending on the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2010, substantially all of the Fund’s net assets consist of securities of issuers that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment income from such securities.

The Fund is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with a dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived against the Fund. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the counterparties (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse impact on the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan International Opportunities Plus Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan International Opportunities Plus Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended and the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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.

CEO’S LETTER

November 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe and infla-

tionary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

J.P. Morgan’s Global Multi-Asset Group (“GMAG”) utilized top-down research to identify the asset allocation that they believed would maximize income for the Fund. After determining what they believed to be the Fund’s ideal asset allocation, GMAG leveraged the resources and insights of specialist asset class portfolio management teams, each with expertise in managing money in the asset classes assigned to them by GMAG. These teams of portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research, rigorously researching investment opportunities to determine their underlying value. The Fund’s assets were allocated among emerging markets debt, U.S. fixed income, global real estate securities, global equities and global convertible bonds.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Stock markets in most parts of the world continued to rally for the first five months of the reporting period, maintaining the upward momentum they enjoyed after the March 2009 market bottom. Risk aversion returned in April 2010 amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis, causing stock prices to decline before better-than-expected economic data and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s accommodative policy fueled a broad rally in September and October. While most stock markets advanced for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010, there was clear separation between regions and countries. Emerging markets stocks were bolstered by strong GDP growth in most developing countries, as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 23.89% and was among the best performing stock indexes during the reporting period, outperforming the MSCI EAFE Index’s 8.36% gain and the S&P 500 Index’s 16.52% return.

In fixed income markets, yields for U.S. Treasuries fell, sending their prices higher (generally, bond prices increase when yields decline). Meanwhile, the supply/demand backdrop continued to be favorable in the non-agency mortgage-backed security market, outweighing concerns about the fundamentals of the housing market. Supply for non-agency mortgage-backed securities continued to decline, while demand was strong due to the sector’s high yield relative to other areas of the fixed income market. This favorable environment helped support the non-agency mortgage market.

 

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) outperformed the S&P 500 Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010.

The Fund’s investments in high yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) contributed significantly to the Fund’s income and absolute return. High yield bonds were supported by strong corporate balance sheets and declining default rates, as well as the market’s relatively high yield and return potential.

The Fund’s allocation to global equities added the least amount of value in terms of capital appreciation. During the reporting period, the Fund had a larger exposure to international equities versus outperforming U.S. equities, hurting relative performance. International stocks lagged stocks in other parts of the world mainly due to relative weakness from European equities as a result of the region’s fiscal crisis. While European policymakers and the International Monetary Fund responded to the region’s fiscal crisis with an aggressive emergency funding package, skepticism remained surrounding the unity among European leaders and the austerity measures being taken by weaker European countries to lower their deficits.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers positioned the Fund to tactically pursue income. The Fund can invest 0-100% of its assets in fixed income and 0-60% of its assets in equities. Within the context of this asset allocation range, the Fund finished the reporting period overweight equities and underweight fixed income.

Among equities, the Fund’s portfolio managers continued to find U.S. dividend yields unattractive relative to the dividend yields of international stocks. Equities that pay out high dividends in the U.S. were generally concentrated in only a few sectors, while high-yielding equities were more diversified across sectors in the international markets. However, given their negative outlook on the euro, the Fund’s portfolio managers used currency forwards to protect a portion of the Fund’s euro-denominated securities from potential weakness in the euro.

Among fixed income, the Fund’s portfolio managers eliminated the Fund’s exposure to corporate securities and rotated into non-agency mortgage-backed securities. In addition, while U.S. high yield bonds continued to constitute the largest percentage of the Fund’s overall assets, the Fund’s portfolio managers reduced the Fund’s allocation as these securities outperformed, rotating some of these assets in to emerging market debt.

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. 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 May 31, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Income Builder Fund, the S&P 500 Index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index and the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index from May 31, 2007 to October 31, 2010. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index do not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains of securities included in the benchmark. The performance of the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio 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 S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for

government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. The Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

From the inception of the Fund through December 18, 2009, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted. Class A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 4.50% 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Income Builder Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Diversified

The Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2007. Prior to December 18, 2009, Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares were not publicly offered for investment.

Effective February 28, 2010, the Fund changed from non-diversified to diversified.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 — Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. 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. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. 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 be 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 Fund applies fair value pricing on equity securities on a daily basis, except for North American, Central American, South American and Caribbean equity securities held in its portfolio, by utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the 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 the Fund calculates its net asset values.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Transfers into, and out of, Level 3 are valued using values as of the beginning of the period.

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 or from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to a decline or an increase in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack of or increase in available market inputs to determine price.

The change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at October 31, 2010, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), amounted to approximately $(78,000). This amount is included in Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments in non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is a security which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business at approximately its fair value and includes, but is not limited to, repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.

The value and percentage of net assets of illiquid securities as of October 31, 2010, were approximately $854,000 and 0.2%, respectively.

C. Loan Participations and Assignments — The Fund invests in loan participations and assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. In contrast, the Fund has direct rights against the borrower on a loan when it purchases an assignment; provided, however, that the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower and the Selling Participant and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). Although certain loan assignments or participations are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. In addition, loan assignments and participations are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan assignments and participations and certain loan assignments and participations which were liquid when purchased may be illiquid.

D. Unfunded Commitments — The Fund entered into commitments to buy and sell investments including commitments to buy loan assignments and participations to settle on future dates as part of its normal investment activities. Unfunded commitments are generally traded and priced as part of a related loan participation or assignment (Note 2.C.). The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. The unrealized appreciation/depreciation from unfunded commitments is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund segregates security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available for the commitments on a future date. Credit risks exist on these commitments to the extent of any difference between the sales price and current value of the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to buy to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner. However, during the commitment period, these investments earn no interest or dividends.

At October 31, 2010, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitment which could be extended at the option of the borrower (amount in thousands):

     Revolving Credit Commitment           2/24/10           1.250     1.250   $ 4         $ 4   

 

* Security in default.

E. Futures Contracts — The Fund uses index or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to gain or reduce exposure to particular countries or regions. The Fund also uses futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund 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. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s derivatives activities during the reporting period November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010 (amounts in thousands).

F. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries (such as Brazil) that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

G. Summary of Derivatives Information — The following table presents the value of derivatives held as of October 31, 2010, by their primary underlying risk exposure and respective location on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities (amounts in thousands):

34       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   OCTOBER 31, 2010


Table of Contents

 

 

The Fund’s derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2010 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

H. 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 Fund first learns of the dividend.

I. Allocation of Income and Expenses — In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. Expenses directly attributable to the 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to the Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

J. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The 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. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Fund’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

K. Foreign Taxes — The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

L. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Effective April 30, 2010, dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Prior to April 30, 2010, dividends from net investment income were declared and paid quarterly. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital        Accumulated
Undistributed/
(Overdistributed)
Net Investment
Income
       Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)
on Investments
 
     $         $ 119         $ (119

The reclassifications for the Fund related primarily to foreign currency gains or losses and passive foreign investment company (PFIC) gains and losses.

M. Redemption Fees — Generally, shares of the Fund held for less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee of 2.00%, based on the redeemed share’s market value. Redemption fees are paid directly to the Fund and are credited to paid in capital.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor to the Fund. 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 supervises the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual fee rate of 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, provides certain administration services to the Fund. 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 J.P. Morgan Funds 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. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the annual effective rate was 0.09% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

J.P. Morgan Investor Services, Co. (“JPMIS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s 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 the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Distributor retained the following amounts (in thousands):

 

       

Front-End

Sales Charge

       CDSC  
     $ 298         $ 6   

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, 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 equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares. 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 Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, provides portfolio custody and accounting services for the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included as Interest income from affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

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

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Advisor, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expense related to short sales, interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees’ deferred compensation plan) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Select Class  
       0.75        1.25        0.60

The contractual expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended October 31, 2010. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2011. In addition, the Fund’s service providers have voluntarily waived fees during the year ended October 31, 2010. However, the Fund’s service providers are under no obligation to do so and may discontinue such voluntary waivers at any time.

Prior to February 28, 2010, the contractual expense limitations were 0.95%, 1.45% and 0.70% for Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares, respectively.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expects the Fund to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

 

       Contractual Waivers

       Total        Contractual

A portion of the waiver is voluntary.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in the money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2010 was approximately $12,000.

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

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The 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 Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as a Trustee. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Advisor.

The Fund may use related party broker/dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund incurred $457 in brokerage commissions with broker/dealers affiliated with the Advisor.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund 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 OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had the following net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

 

        2016        2017        Total  
     $ 1,113         $ 1,370         $ 2,483   

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards of approximately $807,000.

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order (“Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (“Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund 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 the 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 Fund 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 J.P. Morgan Funds including the Fund. 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 the 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 15, 2011.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the year 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 to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

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

Prior to December 18, 2009, the Fund’s shares were held only by the Fund’s Advisor. The Fund’s Advisor or an affiliate may from time to time exercise discretion on behalf of certain of its clients with respect to the purchase or sale of a significant portion of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Investment activities on behalf of these shareholders could impact the Fund.

The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

The Fund is subject to the risk that should the Fund decide to sell an illiquid investment when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Fund deems representative of its value, the value of the Fund’s net assets could be adversely affected.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

The Fund is subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage-related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, prepayments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

As of October 31, 2010, the Fund invested approximately 57.7% of its total investments in the United States.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan Income Builder Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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 meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment subcommittees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet as needed for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of the Fund at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain J.P. Morgan Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consid-

eration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Advisor from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s responsiveness to concerns raised by them,

including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Advisor’s determination of its and its affiliates revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, 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 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 adviser, 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 the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Advisor and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board considered that the Advisor does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Advisor, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“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 Fund does not contain breakpoints. The Trust-

ees 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Advisor’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board

meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009 and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance was attractive. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor and, based upon this discussion and other factors, concluded that the performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s

management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. 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 Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the first quintile, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

NOVEMBER 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe

and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Select Class Shares)*      5.32%   
Barclays Capital Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1–3 Year Index      4.43%   
Barclays Capital Trade–Weighted Non-Dollar Benchmark Currency Index      5.06%

Net Assets as of 10/31/2010 (In Thousands)    $ 977,033   

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The Fund seeks to provide a high total return primarily from a portfolio of fixed income and other debt securities denominated in foreign currencies.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

The U.S. dollar continued to depreciate versus other currencies for the first five months of the reporting period, as investors maintained their appetite for risk. Risk aversion returned in April 2010 amid concerns about the threat of systemic fallout from Europe’s debt crisis, causing the U.S. dollar to rally relative to other currencies. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s announced second round of quantitative easing led the U.S. dollar to depreciate in September and October. At the end of the twelve months ended October 31, 2010 the U.S. dollar depreciated versus other currencies.

While European policymakers and the International Monetary Fund responded to the region’s fiscal crisis with an aggressive emergency funding package, skepticism remained surrounding the unity among European leaders and the austerity measures being taken by European countries with weaker economies to lower their deficits. Despite these weak fundamentals, the euro held up relatively well, as investors preferred the euro to the currencies of other developed economies, such as the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen. Meanwhile, emerging markets currencies were strong, as robust consumer spending fueled growth in developing economies and outweighed investor concerns about monetary policy tightening.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

On November 20, 2009, the Fund’s primary benchmark changed from the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index (ex USD) to the Barclays Capital Global Treasury ex U.S. 1-3 Year Index (the “Primary Benchmark”), a market value weighted index of non U.S. government securities. In addition, the Barclays Capital Trade-Weighted Non-Dollar Benchmark Currency Index (the “Secondary Benchmark”) was added as a secondary benchmark. The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the Primary Benchmark and the Secondary Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2010.

 

Duration was a key driver of the Fund’s outperformance versus the Primary Benchmark and Secondary Benchmark. Duration is used to measure the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. The Fund’s long duration positions in local emerging markets bonds performed well, while the Fund’s local Mexican bonds added the most to the Fund’s relative performance.

The Fund’s strategic currency allocation also contributed to relative performance versus the Primary Benchmark and Secondary Benchmark. Using top-down macroeconomic research, the Fund’s portfolio managers established overweight positions in emerging market currencies. This positioning helped the Fund’s performance as these currencies outperformed the British pound and euro, which were underweighted by the Fund during the reporting period.

On the negative side, the Fund’s underweight of the Japanese yen and overweight the Russian ruble detracted from relative performance versus the Primary Benchmark. Meanwhile, the Fund’s underweight of the Thai baht detracted from the Fund’s relative performance versus the Secondary Benchmark. The currency performed strongly as investor fears surrounding the political unrest in Thailand appeared to abate during the reporting period. The Fund’s underweight of the Malaysian ringgit detracted from the Fund’s relative performance versus the Secondary Benchmark. The Fund’s long duration position in Canadian Government bonds also hurt relative performance versus the Secondary Benchmark, as investors became concerned about rising interest rates as a result of the country’s economic strength.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund attempted to benefit from foreign currency strength and weakness against the US dollar. To establish overweight and underweight positions in currencies, the Fund primarily invested in foreign governments, agencies, and supranationals. The Fund also utilized currency derivatives to establish these positions. Accordingly, the Fund held approximately 17% of its assets in U.S. cash to help manage fund flows and to support its positions in currency derivatives. The Fund was otherwise not exposed to the U.S. dollar.

During the period, the Fund improved its overall credit quality by concentrating its investments in government and Triple-A rated securities. Although it was already underweight the yen and euro going into the reporting period, the Fund lowered its exposure to these currencies, and became more diversified

across regions and less heavily weighted in Europe and Japan. In addition, the Fund’s portfolio managers shortened the Fund’s duration. The Fund’s duration began the reporting period at 1.82 years and finished the reporting period at 1.17 years.

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 March 30, 2007.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the JPMorgan International Currency Income Fund, the Barclays Capital Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Index, the Barclays Capital Trade-Weighted Non-Dollar Benchmark Currency Index, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index (ex-USD) and the Lipper International Income Funds Index from March 30, 2007 to October 31, 2010. 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 Barclays Capital Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Index, the Barclays Capital Trade-Weighted Non-Dollar Benchmark Currency Index and the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index (ex-USD) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains of securities included in the benchmark. The performance of the Lipper International Income 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 Barclays Capital Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Index measures the performance of fixed-rate local currency sovereign debt of investment grade countries outside the United States that have remaining maturities of one to three years. The Barclays Capital Trade-Weighted Non-Dollar Benchmark Currency Index is a weighted average of the foreign exchange value of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of a broad group of major U.S. trading partners. The Barclays Capital Global

 

Aggregate Index (ex-USD) provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed-income markets. The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index (ex-USD) excludes the U.S. Dollar denominated components of the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index. The Fund’s primary benchmark changed from the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index (ex-USD) to the Barclays Capital Global Treasury Ex-U.S. 1–3 Year Index to better reflect the Fund’s investment strategy. The Lipper International Income Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

From the inception of the Fund through November 3, 2009, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted. Select Class 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.

International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The Fund is also subject to the additional risk of non-diversified “regional” fund investing.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
International Currency Income Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified

Effective November 3, 2009, Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares were publicly offered for investment. Effective December 9, 2009, Class R5 Shares were publicly offered for investment. The outstanding Class R5 Shares were redeemed on June 14, 2010 and the share class was closed.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 — Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at such investment company’s current day closing net asset value per share. Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund is valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

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. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. 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 be material.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

# All portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually in the SOI. Level 1 consists of a money market mutual fund that is held for daily investments of cash. Please refer to the SOI for industry specifics of the portfolio holdings.

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2010.

B. Futures Contracts — The Fund uses treasury or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to gain or reduce exposure to particular countries or regions. The Fund also uses futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying rate or currency. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund 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. Under some circumstances, future exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

C. Foreign Currency Translation The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchases of foreign currency in certain countries (such as Brazil) that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end.

D. Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts The Fund uses forward foreign currency contracts including non-deliverable forwards mainly as a substitute for securities in which the Fund can invest to increase income or gain to the Fund and to hedge or manage the Fund’s exposure to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in cash without the delivery of foreign currency.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

E. Summary of Derivative Information The following table presents the value of derivatives held as of October 31, 2010, by their primary underlying risk exposure and respective location on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities (amounts in thousands):

F. 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 a Fund first learns of the dividend.

G. Allocation of Income and Expenses In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to the Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

H. Federal Income Taxes The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The 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. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Fund’s conclusion may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

I. Foreign Taxes The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

J. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

 

        Paid-in-Capital        Accumulated
Undistributed/
(Overdistributed)
Net Investment
Income
       Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)
on Investments
 
     $         $ (10,862      $ 10,862   

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses.

K. Redemption Fees Generally, shares of the Fund held for less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee of 2.00%, based on the redeemed share’s market value. Redemption fees are paid directly to the Fund and are credited to paid in capital.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor to the Fund. 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 supervises the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual fee rate of 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

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

B. Administration Fee Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, provides certain administration services to the Fund. 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 J.P. Morgan Funds 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. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the annual effective rate was 0.09% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

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

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Fund, provides portfolio custody and accounting services for the Fund. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.

Interest income, if any, earned on cash balances at the custodian, is included as Interest income from affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

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

F. Waivers and Reimbursements The Advisor, Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expense related to short sales, interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees’ deferred compensation plan) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

The contractual expense limitation agreements were in effect for the year ended October 31, 2010. The contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2011.

For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expects the Fund to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

       Administration        Shareholder

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

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The 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 Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as a Trustee. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Advisor.

The Fund may use related party broker/dealers. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker/dealers affiliated with the Advisor.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of mark to market of forward foreign currency contracts. As of October 31, 2010, the Fund had the following net capital loss carryforwards, expiring during the year indicated, which are available to offset future realized gains (amounts in thousands):

 

        2016        2017        Total  
     $ 33         $ 123         $ 156   

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards of approximately $164,000.

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order (“Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (“Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund 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 the 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 Fund because it is an investment company 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 J.P. Morgan Funds including the Fund. 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 the 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 15, 2011.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the year 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 to affiliates in the Statement of Operations.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

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

One or more affiliates of the Advisor have investment discretion with respect to their clients’ holdings in the Fund, which collectively represent a significant portion of the Fund’s assets. Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Fund’s performance.

The Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2010, substantially all of the Fund’s net assets consist of securities of issuers that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment income from such securities.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of JPMorgan International Currency Income Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan International Currency Income Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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 meets regularly throughout the year and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees, composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment subcommittees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) also meet as needed for the specific purpose of considering advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2010, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment subcommittees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment subcommittee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment subcommittee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. 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 Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 18, 2010.

The Trustees, as part of their review of the investment advisory arrangements for the J.P. Morgan Funds, considered and reviewed performance and other information received from the Advisor, on a regular basis over the course of the year, as well as information specifically prepared for their annual review. This information included the Fund’s performance compared to the performance of the Fund’s peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Advisor of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent consultant to report on the performance of the Fund at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Advisor also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of the peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Advisor, including, with respect to certain J.P. Morgan Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees also have engaged an independent consultant to provide additional analyses of the performance of J.P. Morgan Funds with greater than two years of performance history in connection with the review of the investment advisory arrangements. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Advisor and with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed

approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals in executive sessions with counsels to the Trust and independent Trustees at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of the information received by the Trustees. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Advisor from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the investment advisory contract was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Advisor

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took 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 considered the background and experience of the Advisor’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisor. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Advisor and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to enhancements to the Advisor’s risk governance model in light of recent market turbulence and reports showing that the Advisor has consistently complied with the investment policies and restrictions of the Fund. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Advisor, was also considered.

The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Advisor and its affiliates, the commitment of the Advisor to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and the Advisor’s responsiveness to concerns raised by them,

including the Advisor’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Advisor and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Advisor’s determination of its and its affiliates revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, 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 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 adviser, 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 the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Advisor and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board considered that the Advisor does not currently use third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Advisor, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Advisor. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (“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 Fund 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 level of money market assets or non-money market fund assets excluding certain funds-of-funds, as applicable, advised by the Advisor, and that the Funds would benefit from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Advisor’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Advisor for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Fund relative to the Advisor’s other clients and the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Advisor’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of those J.P. Morgan Funds which had at least one full year of performance at the time of the review within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

meetings by the Advisor and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis by the independent consultant. The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted the Fund’s performance was in the third quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one-year period ended December 31, 2009 and that the independent consultant indicated that overall performance needed enhancement. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Advisor, noting a benchmark change occurring late in 2009, and concluded that they were satisfied with the Advisor’s analysis of the Fund’s performance, however, they requested that the Fund’s Advisor provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the fixed income subcommittee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Advisor and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee

rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. 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 Trustees’ determination as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares were in the first quintile and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class Shares were in the first quintile, of their Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.

CEO’S LETTER

November 18, 2010 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder:

If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.

 

LOGO   

 

“If 2009 was the year that we tried to sort out the aftermath of the global financial crisis and recession, then 2010 should be viewed as the year we began to slowly emerge from the crisis and embark on the road to recovery.”

Last year, some welcome improvements in economic data appeared to indicate that a modest recovery was occurring. Investors responded warmly to these signs by displaying their appetite for risk. The equity markets rebounded sharply, and by November 18, 2009, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) had risen by nearly 67% from its 14-year low on March 9, 2009. By the end of December 2009, the S&P 500 Index had risen 26.5% for the year to close at 1,115, and this positive momentum carried over into early 2010.

However, investors’ upbeat mood didn’t last for long. A wave of discouraging U.S. economic data, compounded by sovereign debt issues in Europe, led to a major market correction in May 2010, followed by heightened market volatility throughout most of the summer. Beginning in the latter half of the third quarter, however, the markets responded well to a wave of much anticipated news, including a strong September labor market report, the U.S. mid-term elections, as well as the Federal Reserve’s (“the Fed”) announced launch of a second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”).

These gains, however, should be viewed as tentative, as while the recovery continues, markets remain sensitive to risks such as high unemployment, the future direction of tax policy, as well as concerns that Ireland’s fiscal issues will contribute to additional European financial stress.

We believe, however, that the current economic recovery offers some encouraging signs for investors, including positive gross domestic product growth and a strong conclusion to third quarter 2010 corporate earnings, as many companies reported some of their healthiest profit margins in years.

Investors buoyed by solid corporate earnings

During the late spring and summer months, economic uncertainty and fears of deflation drove investors to the safety of U.S. Treasuries and gold. A recent run of positive news, however, including improved economic data and better-than-expected corporate earnings, led to a surge late in the third quarter. As of the end of the 12- month period ended October 31, 2010, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index had reached a level of 1,183, a 16.5% increase from 12 months earlier.

Although global stock indices reflected steady growth throughout most of the year, this trend has recently been interrupted

due to growing anxiety surrounding sovereign debt in Europe and inflationary concerns in China. However, as of the end of the 12-month reporting period, the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) had returned 8.8% (gross), while the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index had returned 23.9% (gross) for the same reporting period.

Treasuries move higher, pushing yields to historic lows

Weak economic growth boosted the fixed income market throughout the year, as investors sought safety in U.S. Treasuries and high-quality corporate bonds. In this environment, the Barclays Capital High Yield Index returned 19.4%, while the Barclays Capital Emerging Markets Index returned 18.3% for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2010. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 8.0% for the same period.

Investors continued to demonstrate their concern about the stability of the economic recovery, pushing bond prices up and yields down. At one point, these concerns, combined with near-zero official policy rates and central bank bond purchases, drove 10-year yields to their lowest levels since January 2009. As of October 31, 2010, the yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond had dropped from 3.4% to 2.6%. Yields on the 30-year bond also declined, falling from 4.2% to 4.0% as of the end of the period, as did the two-year note, from 0.9% to 0.3%.

Will QE2 promote stronger economic growth?

In a much anticipated action, the Fed initiated a second round of quantitative easing designed to stimulate the economy. It plans to spend an additional $600 billion to buy a wide range of both short-term and long-term U.S. Treasuries. In its statement, the Fed also indicated that it may extend the program if conditions warrant doing so, and promised to “employ its policies as needed.” Although this measure may potentially hold down both short and long-term interest rates, it does increase the risk of higher inflation and rising interest rates down the road. Additionally, the flexibility that the Fed has afforded itself in implementing the program may increase uncertainty about future monetary policy and the economy.

Certainly, if the economy continues to improve going forward, the Fed may likely resume a more balanced posture. However, due to the uncertainty of the impact of this plan, it still makes sense for investors to maintain a balanced portfolio, including a diversified approach to fixed income and other securities.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, I would like to wish you a very happy holiday season and a safe and healthy year. We look forward to continuing to support your investment goals in 2011 and beyond. Should you have any questions, please visit our website at www.jpmorganfunds.com, or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

This unique process includes both a volatility target and drawdown control process, which decreases (increases) the risk target as a function of portfolio performance. The Fund’s flexible drawdown control process is an important aspect of the Fund’s risk management given its unconstrained approach versus the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return (the “Benchmark”), an index of commodities.

The Fund’s commodity weightings are constructed based on the Fund’s portfolio managers’ fundamental analysis of macroeconomic influences, supply and demand levels, the impact of historical commodity prices and the relationships between various commodities. Applying this fundamental analysis, the Fund’s portfolio managers established the Fund’s commodity weightings based on their outlook for each commodity in the Fund’s investable universe. Meanwhile, the Fund’s flexible risk management process allows the Fund to quickly adjust these commodity weights in an effort to help guard the Fund against short-term volatility in commodity prices.

HOW DID THE COMMODITIES MARKET PERFORM DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?

The precious metals sector was among the Benchmark’s strongest performers during the reporting period. Prices for gold and silver reached new highs as the low interest rate environment persisted during the reporting period and as the U.S. Federal Reserve signaled and then delivered further accommodative policy actions.

Meanwhile, volatile weather conditions in key producing regions sent the prices of agricultural and soft commodities higher during the reporting period. Soft commodities did particularly well. Energy was the worst performing sector in the Benchmark, dragged down by natural gas, which declined 43% for the first ten months of 2010 due to continued oversupply.

 

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?

The Fund (Select Class Shares) outperformed the Benchmark for the period January 13, 2010 (the Fund’s inception date) through October 31, 2010.

The Fund’s overweight positions in precious metals and financial commodities were the largest contributors to the Fund’s absolute return and relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund’s overweight in the soft commodities sector (cocoa, coffee, cotton and sugar) also contributed to the Fund’s absolute return and relative performance.

The Fund’s investments in the energy sector detracted from the Fund’s absolute return but outperformed the Benchmark, contributing to the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s relative outperformance in the energy sector was driven primarily by the Fund’s underweight of natural gas.

In July 2010, the price of wheat increased sharply in reaction to news of flooding in Canada, drought in Russia and storage problems in India. The Fund’s portfolio managers had a negative fundamental longer-term outlook on wheat and were underweight and short the commodity, which hurt the Fund’s performance in July. However, the Fund adjusted its position as the volatility of wheat prices increased, bringing the Fund’s weight in wheat more in line with a neutral position and minimizing the Fund’s losses.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund invested in commodity-linked derivative instruments that provided exposure to the investment returns of the commodities markets without investing directly in physical commodities. The Fund’s derivative instruments were backed by a portfolio of high-quality fixed income securities, such as commercial paper or other instruments that generally had a weighted average maturity of 90-days or less.

As of the end of the reporting period, the Fund was overweight precious metals and financial commodities. The Fund was also overweight the soft and agricultural commodities sectors. In the energy sector, the Fund was underweight natural gas and was positioned to benefit from an improving “crack spread,” as it was underweight crude oil and overweight the petroleum products. The crack spread measures the difference between the price of crude oil and the products extracted from it: heating oil and gasoline.

Source: Lipper, Inc. The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. 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 January 13, 2010.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Select Class Shares of the Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return and the Lipper Commodities Funds Average from January 13, 2010 to October 31, 2010. The performance of the Lipper Commodities Funds Average reflects an initial investment at the end of the month closest to the Fund’s inception. 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 Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains of securities included in the benchmark. The performance of the Lipper Commodities Funds Average 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 Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return is composed of futures contracts on 19 physical commodities. The Lipper Commodities Funds Average is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Subsequent to inception date of the Fund through March 10, 2010, the Fund did not experience any shareholder purchase and sale activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Select Class 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.

The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The impact was less than $0.01 to the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments per share and less than 0.01% to the total return for Class A and Class C Shares.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund    Class A, Class C and Select Class    Non-Diversified

The Fund commenced operations on January 13, 2010. Prior to March 10, 2010, Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares were not publicly offered for investment.

The Fund offered Class R5 Shares on November 30, 2010.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to the Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Basis for Consolidation for the Fund

HCM Commodities Strategy Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on August 18, 2009 and is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies as described in the Fund’s prospectus. As of October 31, 2010, net assets of the Fund were approximately $485,412,000, of which approximately $105,644,000 or approximately 22%, represented the Fund’s ownership of the shares of the Subsidiary. The Consolidated Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“CSOI”) includes positions of the Fund and the Subsidiary. The financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the 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 — Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days) 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 less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Certain investments of the Fund may, depending upon market conditions, trade in relatively thin markets and/or in markets that experience significant volatility. As a result of these conditions, the prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if these securities were sold, and the differences could be material. Futures and options shall generally be valued on the basis of available market quotations. Swaps (except return swaps on commodities as described in Note 2.C.) and other derivatives are valued daily, primarily using independent or affiliated pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. If valuations are not available from such services or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at such investment company’s current day closing net asset value per share. Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange shall generally be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded that is reported before the time when the net assets of the Fund are valued. The value of securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

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. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. 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 be material.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

Ÿ  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Ÿ  

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Ÿ  

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table represents each valuation input by sector as presented on the CSOI (amounts in thousands):

There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 for the period ended October 31, 2010.

# Portfolio holdings designated as Level 1 and Level 2 are disclosed individually in the CSOI. Level 1 consists of two affiliated money market mutual funds, which are held for daily investments of cash and as an investment of cash collateral for swaps. Please refer to the CSOI for industry specifics of the portfolio holdings.

B. Futures Contracts — The Fund uses commodity and foreign exchange futures contracts to obtain long and short exposure to the underlying commodities markets.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the CSOI and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the future’s contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges (i.e. NYMEX), boards of trade or other platforms (e.g. Clearport). The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to futures transactions; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. For trades executed on other platforms, these futures contracts must be offset on the same platform in which they were executed; therefore liquidity risk exists to the extent there is a lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the funds to close out its position. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions

C. Return Swaps on Commodities — The Fund uses return swaps on commodities futures to obtain long and short exposure to commodities markets.

The value of a swap agreement is recorded at the beginning of the measurement period. Swap values are based on the values of underlying futures contracts, using the last sale or closing price from the principal exchange on which the contract is traded. Change in swap values is recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation — swaps on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon termination of a swap and is based on the difference between the contract price and market price of the underlying instrument or when an offsetting position is entered into.

Upon entering a swap, the Fund is required to post an initial collateral amount (referred to as “Independent Amount”), as defined in the swap agreement. Independent Amounts are posted to segregated accounts at the Fund’s custodian. The Fund is required to post additional collateral to the segregated accounts, for the benefit of counterparties, as applicable, for mark to market losses on swaps. Balances in segregated accounts are invested in affiliated money market funds (see Note 3.F. for reimbursements regarding cash collateral amounts invested in these funds). Collateral invested in affiliated money market funds as of October 31, 2010 was approximately $38,161,000, which is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Investments in affiliates — restricted.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 (continued)

 

The Fund pays a monthly financing charge to one counterparty, which is calculated based on the average balance of the segregated account, for the benefit of that counterparty, and a LIBOR-based rate. This amount is recorded as Interest Expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund is entitled to receive cash from counterparties as collateral for mark to market gains on swap contracts. When the Fund receives such cash collateral, a corresponding liability is recorded, and included in Due to broker for swap contracts on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts.

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to an over the counter derivative, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Fund to close out its position(s); and, (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives, including return swaps, also results in a form of leverage and, as such, the Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund’s activities in return swaps are concentrated with two counterparties. Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts collateral for mark to market gains to the Fund.

D. Offering and Organization Costs

Offering costs (Registration and filing fees) paid in connection with the offering of shares of the Fund are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Subsidiary and the Fund were recorded as an expense at the time they commenced operations and are included as part of Professional fees on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

E. Summary of Derivatives Information

F. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the year. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, purchase of foreign currency in certain countries (such as Brazil) that impose a tax on such purchases, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.

G. 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, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

H. Allocation of Income and Expenses — In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. 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. Each class of shares bears its pro-rata portion of expenses attributable to the Fund, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution and shareholder servicing fees.

I. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The 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. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or losses will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, the Fund’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

J. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.

K. Redemption Fees — Generally, shares of the Fund held for less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee of 2.00%, based on the redeemed share’s market value. Redemption fees are paid directly to the Fund and are credited to paid in capital.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor to the Fund and the Subsidiary. JPMIM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”). The Advisor supervises the investments of the Fund and the Subsidiary and for such services is paid fees. The fee for services to the Fund is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual fee rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The fee for services to the Subsidiary is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Subsidiary’s average daily net assets.

The Advisor, on behalf of the Subsidiary, has entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement with Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“HCM”) which is wholly-owned by JPMorgan Asset Management Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, the Advisor pays HCM a monthly sub-advisory fee of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the subsidiary.

The Advisor and HCM make the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund and Subsidiary, respectively.

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, provides certain administration services to the Fund and the Subsidiary. In consideration of these services for the Fund, 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 J.P. Morgan Funds 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. For the period ended October 31, 2010, the annualized effective rate was 0.09% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In consideration for services rendered to the Subsidiary, the administrator receives a fee computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Subsidiary.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

J.P. Morgan Investor Services, Co. (“JPMIS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s 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 the Fund’s shares.

The Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the period ended October 31, 2010, the Distributor retained approximately $25,000 in a front-end sales charge and approximately $2,000 in a CDSC.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, 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 equal to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of each class.

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 Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

The Distributor waived Shareholder Servicing fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) provides portfolio custody and accounting services for the Fund and Subsidiary. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund earns interest on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such interest amounts are presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The 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 Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as a Trustee. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the period ended October 31, 2010, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Advisor.

The Fund may use related party broker/dealers. For the period ended October 31, 2010, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker/dealers affiliated with the Advisor.

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

Affiliates of JPMorgan Chase & Co. made a payment to the Fund of approximately $74,000 relating to an operational error.

     $ 4,485         $ 9,239         $ 61,791   

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of mark to market of futures contracts.

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order (“Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (“Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund 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 the 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 Fund because it is an investment company 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 J.P. Morgan Funds including the Fund. 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 15, 2011.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010, or at any time during the period 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 to affiliates in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund had no interest expense as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at October 31, 2010 or at any time during the period then ended.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

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

The Fund has an affiliated shareholder that owns a significant portion of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Significant shareholder transactions, if any, may impact the Fund’s performance.

The Fund is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Fund such as swap contracts.

The Fund is party to derivative contracts governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (ISDA agreements). The Fund’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Fund in the event the Fund’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements also contain provisions, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against counterparties (i.e. decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and the Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements with certain counterparties allow the Fund and counterparty to offset certain derivative instruments’ payables or receivables with collateral posted to a segregated custody account.

The profitability of banks depends largely on the availability and cost of funds, which change depending upon economic conditions. Banks are also exposed to losses if borrowers cannot repay their loans. The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in debt obligations issued by banks.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedule of portfolio investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Highbridge Dynamic Commodities Strategy Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) and its subsidiary (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2010 and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the period January 13, 2010 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2010, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2010.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, 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 Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ 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 Class of 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 for each Class 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.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

Disclose whether, as of the end of the period covered by the report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party. If the registrant has not adopted such a code of ethics, explain why it has not done so.

The registrant must briefly describe the nature of any amendment, during the period covered by the report, to a provision of its code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party, and that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition enumerated in paragraph (b) of this Item. The registrant must file a copy of any such amendment as an exhibit pursuant to Item 12(a)(1), unless the registrant has elected to satisfy paragraph (f) of this Item by positing its code of ethics on its website pursuant to paragraph (f)(2) of this Item, or by undertaking to provide its code of ethics to any person without charge, upon request, pursuant to paragraph (f)(3) of this Item.

If the registrant has, during the period covered by the report, granted a waiver, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or third party, that relates to one or more items set forth in paragraph (b) of this Item, the registrant must briefly describe the nature of the waiver, the name of the person to whom the waiver was granted, and the date of the waiver.

The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. There were no amendments to the code of ethics or waivers granted with respect to the code of ethics in the period covered by the report.

 

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

 

(a) (1) Disclose that the registrant’s board of directors has determined that the registrant either:

(i) Has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee; or

(ii) Does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

(2) If the registrant provides the disclosure required by paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this Item, it must disclose the name of the audit committee financial expert and whether that person is “independent.” In order to be considered “independent” for purposes of this Item, a member of an audit committee may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee:

(i) Accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the issuer; or

(ii) Be an “interested person” of the investment company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-2(a)(19)).

The audit committee financial expert is William Armstrong. He is not an “interested person” of the Registrant and is also “independent” as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of audit committee financial expert determinations.

(3) If the registrant provides the disclosure required by paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this Item, it must explain why it does not have an audit committee financial expert.

Not applicable.

*Audit fees reported in 2009 form N-CSR filing also included audit-related fees.

Registrants shall describe the nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.

AUDIT-RELATED FEES

2010 – $449,900

2009 – $454,300

The audit-related fees consist of aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Registrant that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of the Registrant’s financial statements.

(c) Disclose, under the caption Tax Fees, the aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

The tax fees consist of fees billed in connection with preparing the federal regulated investment company income tax returns for the Registrant for the tax years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(d) Disclose, under the caption All Other Fees, the aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item. Registrants shall describe the nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.

ALL OTHER FEES

2010 – Not applicable

2009 – Not applicable

(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee


Table of Contents

adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.

(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

2010 – 0.0%

2009 – 0.0%

(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

None.

(g) Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were:

2009 – $25.4 million

2008 – $26.3 million

(h) Disclose whether the registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the independent public registered accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by the independent public registered accounting firm to the Registrant or to Service Affiliates that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.

 

ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.

(a) If the registrant is a listed issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3), state whether or not the registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). If the registrant has such a committee, however designated, identify each committee member. If the entire board of directors is acting as the registrant’s audit committee as specified in Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(B)), so state.

(b) If applicable, provide the disclosure required by Rule 10A-3(d) under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3(d)) regarding an exemption from the listing standards for all audit committees.

Not applicable.

The Registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded, based on their evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report, that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in the reports that it files or submits on Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
