CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% — its lowest level in nearly 50 years — and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

 

Sincerely yours,

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equity markets posted negative returns for the reporting period, though they generally outperformed equities in both developed markets and emerging markets. Global bond markets generally had a lackluster performance in the second half of 2018.

U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices returned to record highs and remained elevated through September. Share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then prices rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

In Europe, equity markets came under pressure from slowing economic growth, political tensions within the European Union (the “EU”) and uncertainty about Britain’s planned exit from the EU. Emerging markets equity prices fell as rising U.S. interest rates and signs that U.S.-China trade tariffs were curbing demand from Chinese manufacturers. Emerging markets debt generally provided small but positive returns during the reporting period.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      (5.49)%  
Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index – Hedged USD      1.69%  
MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      (9.10)%  
Access Balanced Composite Benchmark      (4.59)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018    $ 516,665,290  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Access Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return.

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

As the Fund invests in fixed income and equity asset classes, its performance is compared to broad based fixed income and equity benchmarks, as well as a blended composite benchmark. The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index – Hedged USD, its broad based fixed income benchmark, but outperformed the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), its broad based equity benchmark, for the six months ended December 31, 2018.

The Fund’s underweight allocation to core fixed income drove its underperformance relative to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index – Hedged USD. The Fund’s overweight allocation to U.S. equity led to its outperformance relative to the MSCI World Index.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s Class I shares underperformed the Fund’s composite benchmark, which consists of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (55%), Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index – Hedged USD (40%) and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (5%).

The Fund’s overweight allocation to U.S. equity and its overweight allocation to extended credit – mostly consisting of

below-investment-grade bonds (also known as junk bonds) and emerging market debt — were leading contributors to performance relative to the composite benchmark. The Fund’s underweight allocation to core fixed income and its overweight allocation to European equity were leading detractors from performance relative to the composite benchmark.

To implement the Fund managers’ tactical asset allocation decisions, the Fund invested in J.P. Morgan Funds, as well as third party investment companies (which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and exchange-traded funds.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund is a multi-asset class portfolio that focuses on both traditional and liquid alternative investments across the global marketplace. The portfolio management team managed the Fund using a tactical approach to asset allocation across global markets, seeking opportunities in sectors and regions based on valuations and the potential for longer-term growth. The Fund invested its assets in a combination of domestic and international equity, fixed income and liquid alternative assets.

Relative to the MSCI World Index, the Fund’s portfolio managers employed an overweight position in developed market equity, in both the U.S. and international markets, during the reporting period. Within fixed income, the portfolio managers favored an underweight position in core bonds.

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 September 30, 2009.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in the Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Access Balanced Fund, Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index — Hedged USD, the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the S&P 500 Index and the Access Balanced Composite Benchmark from September 30, 2009 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index — Hedged USD and the Access Balanced 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if

applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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, if applicable. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed income markets. The three major components of this index are the U.S. Aggregate, the Pan-European Aggregate, and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Indices. The index also includes Eurodollar and Euro-Yen corporate bonds, Canadian government, agency and corporate securities, and USD investment grade 144A securities. Constituents must be rated investment-grade (Baa3/BBB- or higher) by at least two of the following ratings agencies: Moody’s, S&P, Fitch. If only two of the three agencies rate the security, the lower rating is used to determine index eligibility. If only one of the three agencies rates a security, the rating must be investment-grade. Unrated non-U.S. bonds may use an implied issuer rating to determine index eligibility when not rated by an agency. The MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Since January 1, 2018, the Access Balanced Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indexes that corresponds to the Fund’s model allocation and that consists of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (55%), Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index Hedged (40%) and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (5%). From July 1, 2016 until December 31, 2017, the Access Balanced Composite Benchmark was a composite benchmark comprised of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (55%), Bloomberg Barclays

Global Aggregate Index (35%), Bloomberg Barclays T-Bill 1-3 Month Index (5%), and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (5%). From April 1, 2013 until June 30, 2016, the Access Balanced Composite Benchmark was a composite benchmark comprised of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (50%), Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (35%), Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (5%), Bloomberg Commodity Index (5%) and HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index (5%). From July 1, 2011 until March 31, 2013, the Access Balanced Composite Benchmark was a composite benchmark comprised of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (50%), Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (35%) and Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (15%). From the inception date of September 30, 2009 to June 30, 2011, the Access Balanced Composite Benchmark was a composite benchmark comprised of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (55%), Bloomberg Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index (35%) and Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (10%). Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund 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 redemptions 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 Fund’s security selection in non-U.S. developed market equities and its underweight allocation to core fixed income were leading detractors from performance relative to the composite benchmark. The Fund’s overweight allocation to U.S. equity was a leading contributor to performance relative to the composite benchmark.

To implement the Fund managers’ tactical asset allocation decisions, the Fund invested in J.P. Morgan Funds, as well as third party investment companies (which may or may not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and exchange-traded funds.

Fund 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 redemptions 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 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

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 (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
JPMorgan Access Balanced Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class L    Diversified
JPMorgan Access Growth Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class L    Diversified

The investment objective of the JPMorgan Access Balanced Fund (“Access Balanced Fund”) is to seek total return.

The investment objective of the JPMorgan Access Growth Fund (“Access Growth Fund”) is to seek capital appreciation.

All share classes are publicly offered on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase shares of the Funds unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Share Classes’ prospectus.

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 Class I and Class L Shares. 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. Beginning on November 14, 2017, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after ten years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.

Basis for Consolidation for the Funds

Access Balanced Fund CS Ltd. and Access Growth Fund CS Ltd. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), each a Cayman Islands exempted company, were incorporated on March 11, 2013 and are currently each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Access Balanced Fund and Access Growth Fund, respectively. The Subsidiaries act as investment vehicles for each Fund to effect certain investments consistent with each Fund’s investment objectives and policies as described in each Fund’s prospectus. The Consolidated Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“CSOIs”) include positions of each Fund and its Subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of each Fund and its Subsidiary. Subsequent references to the Funds within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Funds and their Subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their consolidated financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, thus, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments.

Table of Contents

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.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments shall be valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated. Investments in open-end investment companies, including J.P Morgan Funds, excluding exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

The following tables represent each valuation input by sector as presented on the CSOIs:

As of December 31, 2018, certain Investment Companies with a fair value of $8,562,189 and $8,100,848 have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy as these Investment Companies were measured using the NAV per share as a practical expedient for the Access Balanced Fund and Access Growth Fund, respectively.

There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net asset value of the Funds.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

(a)

Investment in affiliate. Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

(b)

The rate shown is the current yield as of December 31, 2018.

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.

The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (“CSOPs”).

Reported realized foreign currency gains and 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 the Funds’ books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the CSOPs. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the CSOPs.

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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds and ETFs, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

F. Allocation of Income and 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 are as follows:

 

      Class A        Class C        Class I        Class L        Total  

Access Balanced Fund

                      

Transfer agency fees

   $ 70        $ 54        $ 1,492        $ 1,632        $ 3,248  

Access Growth Fund

                      

Transfer agency fees

     115          36          3,066          1,281          4,498

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Funds invested in Underlying Funds and ETFs and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds and ETFs. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the CSOPs and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Consolidated Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.F.

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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For Federal income tax purposes, taxable income of each Fund and its Subsidiary are separately calculated. Each Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under the Code and its taxable income, including net gains, is included as ordinary income in the calculation of the respective Fund’s taxable income. Net losses of each Subsidiary are not deductible by the respective Fund either in the current period or carried forward to future periods.

H. 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. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

I. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least quarterly and 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 by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 an Investment Advisory Agreement, each Fund’s assets are allocated to sub-advisers and the Adviser is responsible for monitoring and coordinating the overall management of the Funds and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.75% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser and J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), sub-adviser to the Funds and a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, have agreed to contractually waive the investment advisory fee and the sub-advisory fee, respectively, for each Fund by 0.30% through October 31, 2019.

The Subsidiaries have entered into separate contracts with the Adviser and its affiliates to provide investment advisory and other services to the Subsidiaries. The fee for services to the Subsidiaries is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.75% of each Subsidiary’s respective average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed to waive the advisory fees that it receives from each Fund in an amount equal to the advisory fees paid to the Adviser by the Subsidiaries. This waiver will continue in effect so long as each Fund invests in its Subsidiaries and may not be terminated without approval by the Funds’ Board.

JPMPI, Capital Guardian Trust Company — Personal Investment Management Division (“Capital Guardian”) and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”) are sub-advisers for the Funds. Each sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day investment decisions of its portion of the Funds. The allocation of the assets of each Fund is determined by the Adviser, subject to review of the Board. The Adviser monitors and evaluates the sub-advisers to help assure that they are managing the Funds in a manner consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and restrictions and applicable laws and guidelines.

Under the terms of the Sub-advisory Agreements for each Fund, the Adviser pays JPMPI a monthly sub-advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.70% of the portion of each Fund’s average daily net assets managed by JPMPI.

At December 31, 2018, the allocation of assets for each Fund was as follows:

 

      Access
Balanced Fund
     Access
Growth Fund
 

JPMPI

     94.2      92.2

Capital Guardian

     2.9        3.9  

T.Rowe Price

     2.9        3.9  

The Funds and the Adviser have obtained an exemptive order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) granting exemptions from certain provisions of the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Adviser is permitted, subject to the supervision and approval of the Funds’ Trustees, to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with non-affiliated sub-advisers without such agreements being approved by the shareholders of the Funds. As such, the Funds and Adviser may hire, terminate, or replace non-affiliated sub-advisers without shareholder approval, including,

Table of Contents

without limitation, the replacement or reinstatement of any sub-advisers with respect to which a sub-advisory agreement has automatically terminated as a result of an assignment. Shareholders will be notified of any changes in sub-advisers.

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

B. Administration Fees — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds and its Subsidiaries. In consideration of these services during the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Administrator received a fee that was accrued daily and paid monthly at an 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 covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, the effective annualized rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In consideration for services rendered to the Subsidiaries, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an effective annualized rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Subsidiaries.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets, 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion and 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Board 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. Class I and Class L Shares do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

      Class A      Class C  
     0.25      0.75

In addition, JPMDS 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.

D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee that is accrued 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 I      Class L  

Access Balanced Fund

     0.25      0.25      0.25      0.10

Access Growth Fund

     0.25        0.25        0.25        0.10  

JPMDS 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 JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the CSOPs. Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the CSOPs. Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the CSOPs.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the CSOPs.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Fund, inclusive of the Subsidiary (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain underlying fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Underlying Funds may impose separate investment advisory and service fees. To avoid charging an investment advisory fee and a service fee at an effective rate above 0.75% for investment advisory and 0.25% for shareholder servicing on affiliated investments for Class A, Class C and Class I Shares and 0.10% for shareholder servicing on affiliated investments for Class L Shares, the Adviser and JPMDS have contractually agreed to waive investment advisory and service fees with respect to the Funds in an amount equal to the weighted average pro-rata amount of affiliated investment advisory fees not to exceed 0.45% during the period and affiliated service fees charged by the affiliated Underlying Funds. These contractual waivers are in place until at least October 31, 2019. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Funds’ contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Funds’ service fees.

For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

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

The Board 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 on the CSOPs.

Under the terms of a Service Agreement, JPMIM and its affiliates perform various non-advisory services on behalf of JPMPI in support of JPMPI’s management of the Funds. JPMPI pays JPMIM a fee for these services.

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 Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

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

The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to invest in certain instruments in addition to Underlying Funds and securities.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), has entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds each had one affiliated omnibus account which owned more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

 

          

Access Balanced Fund

     98.0

Access Growth Fund

     98.1  

By investing in a subsidiary, each Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with its Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments, if any, held by the Subsidiaries are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by each Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Funds.

Because of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds and ETFs, the Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and ETFs. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Funds are also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ investments in securities and financial instruments such as fixed income securities including high yield (commonly known as “junk bonds”), asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, equity securities, foreign and emerging markets securities, commodities; and real estate securities. These securities are subject to risks specific to their structure, sector or market.

Each Fund invests in unaffiliated ETFs. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs may be structured as investment companies, depositary receipts or other pooled investment vehicles and may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the

performance of a particular market index. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price below or above their NAV (also known as a discount or premium, respectively).

In addition, the Underlying Funds and ETFs may use derivative instruments in connection with their individual investment strategies including futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives, which are also subject to specific risks related to their structure, sector or market and may be riskier than investments in other types of securities.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds and ETFs are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2018-13 (ASU 2018-13) Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

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, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, 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 (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs) to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018 and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the Period” 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), redemption fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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 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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement with JPMIM and the sub-advisory agreements with JPMPI, Capital Guardian Trust Company and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., for each Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for each Fund and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which each Fund may invest (“Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds and/or Underlying Funds as compared to the Funds’ and/or Underlying Funds’ objectives and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and

independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser or sub-advisers were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and Underlying Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund and by the sub-advisers from the Adviser under the applicable Advisory Agreements was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreements. 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 Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser and sub-advisers. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and sub-advisers to the Funds gained from their experience as

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates and sub-advisers, the commitment of the Adviser and sub-advisers to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ integrity and the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s and sub-advisers’ willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund. In addition, the Trustees considered the different roles and responsibilities performed by the Adviser and sub-advisers under the applicable Advisory Agreements, including the Adviser’s monitoring and evaluating of the sub-advisers to help ensure that the sub-advisers are managing the Funds consistently with their investment objectives and restrictions.

Based upon 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 Adviser and sub-advisers.

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

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’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 Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser and JPMPI, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser and/or sub-advisers. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and sub-advisers and/or their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with each Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds in which each Fund invests. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser and/or sub-advisers.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which each Fund was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that each Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has added or enhanced services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds 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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Fees Relative to Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three-, and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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 Access Balanced Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, fourth and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, fourth and fifth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third quintile based upon the Peer Group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017, and in the second, fourth and fifth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and JPMPI and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances. The Trustees requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the Board’s money market and alternative products committee at each of its regularly scheduled meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the Access Growth Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second, third and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, fourth and fifth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third, fourth and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, fourth and fifth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and JPMPI and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances. The Trustees requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the Board’s money market and alternative products committee at each of its regularly scheduled meetings over the course of the next year.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees also considered that the fees paid by the Adviser to the sub-advisers is out of the advisory fee. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund, including, as appropriate, information about the sub-advisory fees. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for each Fund, the net advisory fee rate

after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations 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 Access Balanced Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the first and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fifth quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the fourth quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified

above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee paid by the Fund to the Adviser and the sub-advisory fees paid by the Adviser to the sub-advisers were satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Access Growth Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the third and fifth quintiles, respectively, based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the fifth and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively.

CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% - its lowest level in nearly 50 years - and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

 

Sincerely yours,

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices reached record highs and remained elevated through September. However, share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

Overall, U.S. large cap equity outperformed mid cap and small cap equity and growth stocks outperformed value stocks. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the S&P 500 Index returned -6.85%.

Intrepid Investment Philosophy and Process

The JPMorgan Behavioral Finance Team employs a philosophy that is rooted in behavioral finance, a field of study that emphasizes the importance of human psychology in financial markets. Behavioral finance examines how investor behavior can be affected by emotional biases and reactions. The field theorizes that inefficiencies arise in the stock market because investors are consistently irrational in making many investment decisions.

The Team aims to capitalize on these market inefficiencies by targeting high quality, attractively valued stocks of companies that it believes have positive momentum characteristics, and looks to sell these stocks when they no longer exhibit these criteria. A disciplined quantitative ranking methodology is utilized to identify attractive stocks in each sector, a process that is combined with qualitative research and value-added trading.

The Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund also incorporates environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) practices into its investment process. In managing the Fund, the adviser identifies companies that, in the adviser’s opinion, generally approach ESG practices in a thoughtful manner while also having attractive value, quality and momentum characteristics. The Fund seeks to invest in companies that, on a combined basis, appear attractive when considering all of these financial and sustainability characteristics.

During the reporting period, the Funds were managed and positioned in accordance with these investment philosophies and processes.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      (9.20)%  
S&P 500 Index      (6.85)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 3,485,212  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid America Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital growth.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and industrials sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight position in Applied Materials Inc. and Capri Holdings Ltd. and its underweight position in Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Shares of Applied Materials, a maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, fell after the company forecast weaker-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 amid a slowdown in demand. Shares of Capri Holdings (formerly Michael Kors Holdings Ltd.), an apparel designer, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected sales and forecast lower-than-expected earnings and revenue in 2019. Shares of Berkshire Hathaway, an investment company not held by the Fund, rose after the company reported strong earnings growth in the second quarter of 2018, amid gains in insurance and rail traffic, and a lower effective tax rate.

Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included its underweight positions in Facebook Inc. and Nvidia Corp. and its overweight position in VMware Inc. Shares of Facebook, a social media provider not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported mixed results for the second quarter of 2018. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductors manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid a decline in demand for graphic card semiconductors. Shares of VMware, a provider of cloud computing software not held in the Benchmark, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 and raised its 2019 earnings forecast.

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 R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Intrepid America Fund, the S&P 500 Index, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The

performance of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred 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 and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index are indexes based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated categories as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital growth.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and communication services sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Applied Materials Inc., Tenet Healthcare Corp. and Align Technology Inc. Shares of Applied Materials, a maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, fell after the company forecast weaker-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 amid a slowdown in demand. Shares of Tenet Healthcare, an operator of hospitals and other health care facilities not held in the Benchmark, fell after the company forecast fourth quarter 2018 results that were below analysts’ expectations and after a U.S. District judge ruled the U.S. Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, though the ruling was stayed pending appeal. Shares of Align Technology, a maker of dental devices, fell after the company forecast weakness in revenue and earnings for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Facebook Inc. and Nvidia Corp. and its overweight position in VMware Inc. Shares of Facebook, a social media provider not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported mixed results for the second quarter of 2018. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductors manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid a decline in demand for graphics card semiconductors. Shares of VMware, a provider of cloud computing software, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 and raised its forecast for 2019 earnings.

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 R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Intrepid Growth Fund, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 1000 Growth 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Large-Cap Growth

Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index are indexes based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated categories as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions of Fund shares.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid Mid Cap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with intermediate capitalizations.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell Midcap Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the software & services and retail sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the media and energy sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Conduent Inc., DXC Technology Co. and Urban Outfitters Inc. Shares of Conduent, a provider of business process services, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of DXC Technology, a consulting and outsourcing company, fell after the company’s head of Americas operations left the company amid a drop in revenue. Shares of Urban Outfitters, an apparel retailer, fell after the company forecast weakness in third quarter sales.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Tribune Media Co., NRG Energy Inc. and Popular Inc. Shares of Tribune Media, a television broadcaster, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Nexstar Media Group Inc. for an estimated $6.4 billion. Shares of NRG Energy, an electric utility, rose after the company posted better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter of 2018. Shares of Popular, a Puerto Rico-based bank holding company not held in the Benchmark, rose after the company reported strong results for the second and third quarters of 2018 and after the company unveiled a $125 million share repurchase plan.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the information technology and communication services sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the energy and financials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s overweight positions in Microsoft Corp. and Verizon Communications Inc. and its underweight position in Facebook Inc. Shares of Microsoft, a provider of software, services and devices, rose after the company’s earnings outperformed industry peers and forecast strong earnings growth for the first quarter of 2019. Shares of Verizon Communications, a provider of wireless communications products and services, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Facebook, a social media provider not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported mixed results for the second quarter of 2018.

Leading individual detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s overweight positions in Citigroup Inc. and United Rentals Inc. and its underweight position in Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Shares of Citigroup, a banking and financial services company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of United Rentals, an equipment rental company, fell after the company’s reported mixed results for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Berkshire Hathaway, an investment company that was not held by the Fund, rose after the company reported strong earnings growth in the second quarter of 2018 amid gains in insurance and railroad traffic, and a lower effective tax rate.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Intrepid Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the information technology and financials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the energy and industrials sector was a leading contributor to performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and its overweight positions in Applied Materials Inc. and Tenet Healthcare Inc. Shares of Berkshire Hathaway, an investment company not held by the Fund, rose after the company reported strong earnings growth in the second quarter of 2018 amid gains in insurance and railroad traffic and a lower effective tax rate. Shares of Applied Materials, a maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment that was not held in the Benchmark, fell after the company forecast weaker-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018 amid a slowdown in demand. Shares of Tenet Healthcare, an operator of hospitals and other health care facilities not held in the Benchmark, fell after the company forecast fourth quarter 2018 results that were below analysts’ expectations and after a U.S. District judge ruled the U.S. Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, though the ruling was stayed pending appeal.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ConocoPhillips and Boeing Co. and its underweight position in General Electric Co. Shares of ConocoPhillips, an integrated oil and natural gas producer, rose after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries held off further increases in oil production in the third quarter of 2018, which helped to lift global oil prices. Shares of Boeing, a commercial aircraft manufacturer not held in the Benchmark, rose as the company outperformed its peers during the reporting period. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and reduced its quarterly dividend.

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 R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Intrepid Value Fund, the Russell 1000 Value Index, the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 1000 Value 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index

and the Lipper 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 incurred by the Fund. The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index are indexes based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Fund’s designated categories as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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 DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (“JPM I”) and JPMorgan Trust II (“JPM II”) (collectively, 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 5 separate funds of the Trusts (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Trust    Diversified/Non-Diversified
JPMorgan Intrepid America Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6    JPM I    Diversified
JPMorgan Intrepid Growth Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6    JPM I    Diversified
JPMorgan Intrepid Mid Cap Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4 and Class R6    JPM II    Diversified
JPMorgan Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund    Class A, Class C and Class I    JPM I    Diversified
JPMorgan Intrepid Value Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6    JPM I    Diversified

The investment objective of both the JPMorgan Intrepid America Fund (“Intrepid America Fund”) and the JPMorgan Intrepid Growth Fund (“Intrepid Growth Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term capital growth.

The investment objective of the JPMorgan Intrepid Mid Cap Fund (“Intrepid Mid Cap Fund”) is to seek long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with intermediate capitalizations.

The investment objective of both the JPMorgan Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund (“Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund”) and the JPMorgan Intrepid Value Fund (“Intrepid Value Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation.

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 Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares. 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. Beginning on November 14, 2017, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after ten years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, thus, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Boards of Trustees (the “Boards”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Boards.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Boards with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Boards. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Boards.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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.

Table of Contents

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

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

B. Futures Contracts — The Funds used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 are settled 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on 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 on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. 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 positions.

(a)

For the period November 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

The Funds’ futures contracts are not subject to master netting agreements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

C. Securities Lending — Effective October 5, 2018, the Funds became authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the IM Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). 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 (amounts in thousands).

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash

from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities).

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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 on the SOIs. At December 31, 2018, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of Collateral investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Subsequent to December 31, 2018, additional collateral was received from borrowers.

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 declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the Collateral Investments to fund the payment of this liability.

The following table presents the Funds’ value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collated received or posted by the Funds as of December 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands).

Amount is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned 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 the 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 — 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually, except for the Intrepid Value Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid at least quarterly. Distributions 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 by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of each 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 rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Intrepid America Fund

     0.40

Intrepid Growth Fund

     0.50  

Intrepid Mid Cap Fund

     0.65  

Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund

     0.50  

Intrepid Value Fund

     0.40  

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services during the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Administrator received a fee that was accrued daily and paid monthly at an 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 covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, the effective rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets, 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion and 0.01% of the each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund.

The amounts of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Intrepid America Fund

   $  84  

Intrepid Growth Fund

     29  

Intrepid Mid Cap Fund

Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Boards 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 on 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 Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the six months ended December 31, 2018, Intrepid America Fund, Intrepid Growth Fund, Intrepid Mid Cap Fund and Intrepid Value Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

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.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”) Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

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 (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, 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 ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the Period” 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 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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds as compared to the Funds’ objectives and peer groups. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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 Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based upon 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 Adviser.

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

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’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 Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of

scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which each Fund was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that each Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has added or enhanced services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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

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

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the, Intrepid America Fund, Intrepid Growth Fund, Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund and Intrepid Value 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 Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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 Intrepid America Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first quintile based upon the Peer Group, for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, and in the first, third and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first, second and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Growth Fund’s performance for both Class A and Class I shares was in the second, first

and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, second and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Mid Cap Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second, fourth, and second quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, fourth and first quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second quintile based upon the Peer Group, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017, and in the third, third and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon the Peer Group for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017, and in the third, third and second quintiles based upon the Universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser, and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Value Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, fifth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, fifth and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, fifth and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, fourth and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation

prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for each Fund, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations 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 Intrepid America Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Class I shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Growth Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Class I

shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Mid Cap Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the actual total expenses for both Class A and Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Sustainable Equity Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Intrepid Value Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for both Class A and Class I shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and the Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% - its lowest level in nearly 50 years - and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

 

Sincerely yours,

JPMorgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      (8.91)%  
S&P 500 Index      (6.85)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 6,842,883  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

HOW DID THE MARKETS PERFORM?

U.S. equity markets posted negative returns for the reporting period, though they generally outperformed equities in both developed markets and emerging markets.

For the first half of the reporting period, U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices reached record highs and remained elevated through September. However, share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

Overall, U.S. large cap stocks outperformed both mid cap and small cap stocks, while value stocks underperformed growth stocks for the six months ended December 31, 2018.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the financials sector and its underweight position and security selection in the consumer staples sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight long positions in Nvidia Corp., PVH Corp. and Parsley Energy Inc. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductors manufacturer, fell after the company reported

weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid a decline in demand for specialty semiconductors. Shares of PVH, the parent company of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger apparel brands, fell amid investor disappointment with the company’s results for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Parsley Energy, an oil and natural gas producer, fell as petroleum prices declined toward the end of the reporting period.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight long position in AutoZone Inc. and its short positions in Schlumberger Ltd. and General Electric Co. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and sales. Shares of Schlumberger, an oilfield services company, fell as petroleum prices declined toward the end of the reporting period. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate, fell amid continued investor concerns about the company’s ability to restructure and shed underperforming operations.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. Overall, the Fund’s portfolio managers aimed to take advantage of mispriced stocks that appeared attractive relative to fair value for long positions, and looked for overvalued stocks in which to take short positions. The long-to-short exposure ratio at the end of the reporting period was 125% to 25%.

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 R6 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Alternative Active Extension Funds Average from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if

applicable. The performance of the Lipper Alternative Active Extension Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred 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. Investors cannot directly invest in an index. The Lipper Alternative Active Extension Funds Average is an average based on total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc.

Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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 DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

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
JPMorgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6*    Diversified

 

*

Class R6 commenced operations on November 1, 2017.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide a high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.

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 Class I, Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares. 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. Beginning on November 14, 2017, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after ten years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, thus, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Fund’s valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Fund’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Fund is calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

B. Futures Contracts — The Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Fund also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining cash balance for liquidity.

Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the 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 on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk. 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 positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s futures contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands):

 

Futures Contracts — Equity

        

Average Notional Balance Long

   $ 25,492  

Ending Notional Balance Long

     12,640  

The Fund’s futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

C. 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 delivers the same securities 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 Deposits at broker for securities sold short, while cash collateral deposited at the Fund’s custodian for the benefit of the broker is recorded as Restricted cash for securities sold short on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on 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 between the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net amounts of income or fees are included as Interest income or Interest expense on securities sold short on the Statement of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Fund is obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on the record date. Dividends on short positions are reported on ex-dividend date on the Statement of Operations as Dividend expense on securities sold short. 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statement of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the security’s price increases and the short position loses value. 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 borrowed 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 borrowed security declines between those dates.

As of December 31, 2018, the Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on the SOI.

D. Securities Lending — Effective October 5, 2018, the Fund became authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Fund is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Fund, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Fund). Upon termination of a loan, the Fund is required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Fund also receives 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 Statement of Operations.

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities).

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of Collateral Investments are disclosed on the SOI.

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

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, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

The Fund did not lend out any securities during the period October 5, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

E. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Fund invested in an Underlying Fund which is advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. An issuer which is under common control with the Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund assumes the issuer listed in the table below to be an affiliated issuer. The Underlying Fund’s distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Fund. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchase cost amount in the table below. Amounts in the table below are in thousands.

Table of Contents

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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and dividend expense on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Fund records distributions received in excess of income earned 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 the components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

G. Allocation of Income and 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Fund for the six months ended December 31, 2018 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

        Class A        Class C        Class I        Class R2        Class R5        Class R6        Total  

Transfer agency fees

     $ 18        $ 5        $ 44        $ 1        $ 5        $ 7        $ 80  

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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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.

I. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually and 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 by the Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser 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 rate of 0.70% of the Fund’s respective average daily net assets. Prior to November 19, 2018, the Investment Advisory fee was accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services during the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Administrator received a fee that was accrued daily and paid monthly at an 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 covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, the effective annualized rate was 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.050% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, 0.025% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion and 0.01% of the Fund’s daily average net assets in excess of $25 billion.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Board has adopted a

Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares of the Fund, as applicable, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class R2 Shares, respectively.

In addition, JPMDS 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, JPMDS retained the following (amounts in thousands):

Amount rounds to less than one thousand.

D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Service Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee, except for Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued 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 I        Class R2        Class R5  
       0.25        0.25        0.25        0.25        0.10

JPMDS 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 JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. For performing these services, the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations. Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. Prior to March 1, 2018, payments to the custodian were reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately on the Statement of Operations.

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

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class I        Class R2        Class R5        Class R6  
       1.10        1.60        0.85        1.45        0.80        0.70

The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and is in place until at least October 31, 2019.

For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

       Total  
     $ 4,791        $ 3,193        $ 3,597        $ 11,581  

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $88,000.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board 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 on the Statement of Operations.

     Short-Term        Long-Term  
  $ 116,342        $  

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), has entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

The Fund did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2018, the Fund had omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

 

      Number of
Affiliated
Omnibus
Account
       % of the
Fund
       Number of
Non-Affiliated
Omnibus
Account
       % of the
Fund
 
     4          17.7        7          48.2

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Fund’s performance.

As of December 31, 2018, the Fund pledged a significant portion of its assets for securities sold short to Scotiabank.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18 (“ASU 2016-18”) Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash, which clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Management has evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Fund’s net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operation.

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 (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, 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 ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the Period” 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 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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information received about the Fund from the Adviser. This information includes the Fund’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Fund as compared to the Fund’s objectives and peer groups. Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of 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 Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates 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 Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Based upon 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 Adviser.

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

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’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 Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Fund for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of

scale realized by the Fund and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow the Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from the Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser added or enhanced services to the Fund over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Fund, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Fund and its shareholders.

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 Agreements.

Fees Relative to Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Fund in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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 that the U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund’s performance for both Class A and Class I shares was in the third quintile based upon the Universe for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions, and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations 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 U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses were in the first quintile upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering all of the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% - its lowest level in nearly 50 years - and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

 

Sincerely yours,

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class L Shares)*      (6.63)%  
MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      (9.10)%  
Diversified Composite Benchmark**      (4.77)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 1,037,358  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Diversified Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high total return from a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income investments.

HOW DID THE MARKETS PERFORM?

U.S. equity markets posted negative returns for the reporting period, though they generally outperformed equities in both developed markets and emerging markets. Global bond markets generally had a lackluster performance in the second half of 2018.

U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices returned to record highs and remained elevated through September. Share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then prices rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

In Europe, equity markets came under pressure from slowing economic growth, political tensions within the European Union (the “EU”) and uncertainty about Britain’s planned exit from the EU. Emerging markets equity prices fell as rising U.S. interest rates and signs that U.S.-China trade tariffs were curbing demand from Chinese manufacturers. Emerging markets debt generally provided small but positive returns during the reporting period.

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares outperformed the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “World Index”) and underperformed the Diversified Composite Benchmark (the “Composite Benchmark”), which consists of 60% MSCI World Index and 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the six months ended December 31, 2018.

During the reporting period, fixed income investments generally outperformed equity markets and the Fund’s allocation to fixed income securities contributed to performance relative to the World Index.

Within equity, the Fund’s tactical overweight allocation to large cap domestic equity was the largest detractor from performance relative to the Composite Benchmark. The Fund’s underweight allocation to international developed markets and emerging markets contributed to performance relative to the Composite Benchmark.

Within fixed income, an underweight allocation to core fixed income and a tactical underweight allocation to international fixed income were the largest detractors from relative performance. The Fund’s allocations to non-agency and agency mortgage-backed securities, along with the Fund’s allocation to floating rate fixed income, were the largest contributors to relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund targeted a long-term strategic asset allocation consisting of the following asset classes: U.S. large-cap equity, U.S. small-cap equity, real estate investment trusts, international equity (including emerging markets equity) and U.S. and international fixed income. The Fund invested in individual securities and underlying J.P. Morgan funds to implement its long-term strategic asset allocation and short-to-intermediate term tactical adjustments.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an opportunistic allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities and agency mortgage-backed securities. The Fund used futures to more easily implement the portfolio managers’ short-to-intermediate term tactical asset allocation views. The Fund also employed futures to manage a transition of its equity exposure from an overweight to an underweight position during the reporting period. At the end of the period, the Fund was positioned with and bias toward U.S. large cap equity and an underweight to international equity markets.

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 R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class L Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class L Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan Diversified Fund, the MSCI World Index, the Diversified Composite Benchmark and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI World Index and the Diversified 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The Diversified Composite Benchmark is comprised of the

MSCI World Index (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (40%). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond 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 Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index 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 L Shares have a $3,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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 U.S. 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 DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

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
JPMorgan Diversified Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L and Class R6*    Diversified

 

*

Class R6 Shares commenced operations on November 1, 2017.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide a high total return from a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed income investments.

Effective as of the close of business on December 1, 2016, Class L Shares of the Fund are publicly offered only on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase Class L Shares of the Fund unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Fund’s prospectuses.

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 Class I, Class L and Class R6 Shares. 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. Beginning on November 14, 2017, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after ten years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Fund.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, thus, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Fund’s valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Fund’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Fund’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. This may include related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. 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.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Fund are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments, as well as certain derivatives with equity reference obligations, are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated. Investments in open-end investment companies, including J.P. Morgan Funds, excluding exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

 

 
66       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2018


Table of Contents

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from Pricing Services. The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.

See the table on “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements” for information on the valuation techniques and inputs used to value level 3 securities held by the Fund at December 31, 2018.

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 valuation of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

The table above does not include certain level 3 investments that are valued by brokers and pricing services. At December 31, 2018, the value of these investments was approximately $228,000. The inputs for these investments are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and generally are those inputs described in Note 2.A.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments are listed above. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the yield and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement.

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the net asset value of the Fund.

As of December 31, 2018, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Loan Assignments — The Fund may invest in debt instruments that are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates (a “Lender”) by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers (a “Borrower”). A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “Agent”) that acts as Agent for all holders. The Agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Fund invests in loan assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When a fund purchases a loan assignment, the Fund has direct rights against the Borrower on a loan, provided, however, 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 the Agent. As a result, a fund assumes the credit risk of the Borrower as well as any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). A fund may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on a loan assignment or suffer a loss of principal and/or interest if assets or interests held by the Agent or other Intermediate Participants are determined to be subject to the claims of the Agent’s or other Intermediate Participant’s creditors. In addition, it is unclear whether loan assignments and other forms of direct indebtedness offer securities law protections against fraud and misrepresentation. Also, because JPMIM may wish to invest in publicly traded securities of a Borrower, it may not have access to material non-public information regarding the Borrower to which other investors have access. Although certain loan assignments are secured by collateral, a fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing the value on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the Borrower. Loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid and they may be difficult to value. In addition, the settlement period for loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Therefore, a fund may not receive the proceeds from a sale of such investments for a period after the sale.

Certain loan assignments are also subject to the risks associated with high yield securities described under Note 7.

Table of Contents

D. Unfunded Commitments — The Fund has entered into commitments to buy and sell investments including commitments to buy loan assignments to settle on future dates as part of their normal investment activities. Unfunded commitments may include revolving loan facilities which may obligate the Fund to provide cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded commitments are generally traded and priced as part of a related loan 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 on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Credit risk exists 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. The Fund may receive an ongoing commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying loan facility, which is recorded as a component of Interest income from non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

At December 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any outstanding unfunded loan commitments.

E. Futures Contracts — The Fund used treasury, index and other financial futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock and bond markets, maintain liquidity or minimize transactions costs. The Fund also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 are settled 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the 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 on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI and cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. 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 positions.

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 U.S. dollar 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 foreign currency exchange 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. The Fund also records a realized gain or loss when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty upon settlement.

The Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

This amount represents the cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts as reported on the SOI. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities only reflects the current day variation margin receivable/payable from/to brokers.

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 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 may also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Fund to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against a counterparty (e.g., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both a counterparty and the Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor a counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements give the Fund and a counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreements and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable with collateral posted to a segregated account by one party to the other.

Investment in affiliate. Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

(b)

The rate shown is the current yield as of December 31, 2018.

I. 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.

The Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Statement of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and 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 the Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other

Table of Contents

assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.

J. 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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend. Certain Funds may receive other income from investment in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Fund. These amounts are included in Interest Income from non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Fund records distributions received in excess of income earned 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 the components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

K. Allocation of Income and 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

Transfer agency fees are class-specific. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Fund for the six months ended December 31, 2018 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

        Class A        Class C        Class I        Class L        Class R6        Total  

Transfer agency fees

     $ 24        $ 1        $ 3        $ 2        $ 4        $ 34  

The Fund invested in Underlying Funds and, as a result, bears a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statement of Operations and are not included in the ratio to average net assets shown on the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.F.

L. 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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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.

M. 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. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

N. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly and 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 distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser 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 rate of 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services during the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Administrator received a fee that was accrued daily and paid monthly at an 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 covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, the effective annualized rate was 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.050% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, 0.025% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion and 0.01% of the Fund’s daily average net assets in excess of $25 billion.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Board 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 Class I, Class L and Class R6 Shares do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, 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, JPMDS 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, JPMDS retained the following (amounts in thousands):

 

        Front-End Sales Charge        CDSC  
     $ 2        $  

D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee, except for Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued 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 I        Class L  
       0.25        0.25        0.25        0.10

JPMDS 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 JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. For performing these services, the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations. Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations. Prior to March 1, 2018, payments to the custodian were reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately on the Statement of Operations.

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

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class I        Class L        Class R6  
       1.08        1.58        0.83        0.65        0.58

The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and are in place until at least October 31, 2019.

For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Fund’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

In addition, the Fund’s service providers have voluntarily waived fees during the six months ended December 31, 2018. However, the Fund’s service providers are under no obligation to do so and may discontinue such voluntary waivers at any time. Amounts in the table below are in thousands.

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018, was approximately $18,000.

The Underlying Funds may impose separate advisory and service fees. The Fund’s Adviser and/or JPMDS have agreed to waive the Fund’s fees in the weighted average pro-rata amount of the advisory and service fees charged by the Underlying Funds. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Fund’s contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Fund’s advisory fee and/or services fees.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board 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 on 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 Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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.

As of June 30, 2018, the Fund did not have any net capital loss carryforward.

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are both investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2018. Average borrowings from the Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018, were as follows (amounts in thousands, except number of days outstanding):

 

        Average
Borrowings
       Average Interest
Rate Paid
       Number of
Days Outstanding
       Interest
Paid
 
     $ 32,679          2.96        1        $ 3  

The Trust, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), has entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

The Fund did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2018, the Fund had five affiliated omnibus accounts and two non-affiliated individual accounts which owned 14.6% in aggregate and 29.0% of the Fund’s outstanding shares, respectively.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Fund’s performance.

Because of the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Fund is also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ investments in securities and financial instruments such as fixed income securities, including high yield, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, equity securities, foreign and emerging markets securities, and real estate securities. These securities are subject to risks specific to their structure, sector or market.

In addition, the Underlying Funds may use derivative instruments in connection with their individual investment strategies including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives, which are also subject to specific risks related to their structure, sector or market and may be riskier than investments in other types of securities.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the affiliated Underlying Funds are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

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 Fund invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these investments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate investments may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. Given that the Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates and may continue to do so, the Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk. 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.

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.

The Fund invests in preferred securities. These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest bearing notes with preferred security characteristics and may include provisions that permit the issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a certain period of time.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”) Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 requires that the premium be amortized to the earliest call date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments will have no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Fund’s net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operation.

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 (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, 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 (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the Period” 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, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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 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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018 at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the Fund and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which the Fund may invest (“Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Fund and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Fund’s and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Fund’s and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Fund and/or Underlying Funds as compared to the Fund’s and/or Underlying Funds’ objectives and peer groups. Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory

Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund and Underlying Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of 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 Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

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

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund and Underlying Funds.

Based upon 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 Adviser.

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

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund and Underlying Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’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 Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Fund and/or Underlying Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services for the Fund and/or Underlying Funds.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Fund’s investments in the

Underlying Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Fund and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allows the Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from the Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has added or enhanced services to the Fund over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Fund, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Fund and its shareholders.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Senior Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior 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 Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and

 

 

 
82       J.P. MORGAN FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2018


Table of Contents

observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Fund in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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 that the Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, second and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, third and fourth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for the Class I shares was in the first, first and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, third and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31,

2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations 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 and actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund and that such fees would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory agreements of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest.

CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% - its lowest level in nearly 50 years - and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P.

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices reached record highs and remained elevated through September. However, share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

Overall, U.S. large cap equity outperformed mid cap and small cap equity and growth stocks outperformed value stocks. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the S&P 500 returned -6.85% and the Russell 1000 Index returned -7.42%.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      (7.53)%

Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 103,043  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the financial services sector and its underweight position in the health care sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the materials & processing sector and the producer durables sector was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in American International Group Inc., Nvidia Corp. and WestRock Co. Shares of American International Group, a property and casualty insurer, fell after the company reported a quarterly loss due to catastrophe costs from incidents in Japan and from the U.S. impact of Hurricane Florence. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductors manufacturer, fell after the company reported weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid a decline in demand for its specialty semiconductors. Shares of WestRock, a paper and packaging company, fell amid investor concerns about excess capacity in containerboard products and production delays at its Florida paper mill due to Hurricane Michael.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Ball Corp., AutoZone Inc. and its underweight position in Facebook Inc. Shares of Ball, a metal packaging maker, rose after the company reaffirmed its 2019 forecast. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and sales for its fiscal first quarter at stores open more than one year. Shares of Facebook, a social media provider not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported mixed results for the second quarter of 2018 and issued a disappointing forecast.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection. As a result of this approach

to stock selection, the Fund’s largest overweight positions were in the financial services and technology sectors and the Fund’s smallest positions were in the utilities and consumer staples sectors.

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 July 29, 2011.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund, the S&P 500 Index, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index from July 29, 2011 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, 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 gain distributions of securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index and the Lipper

Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred 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 and the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index are indexes based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within designated categories as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund and through July 31, 2013, the Fund did not experience any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Fund 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 redemptions 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 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 17,893,771  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation and current income.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the energy and industrials sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the consumer staples sector and its underweight position in the utilities sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Eli Lilly & Co. and Merck & Co. and its underweight position in General Electric Co. Shares of Eli Lilly, a pharmaceutical company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and raised its forecast for the full year 2018. Shares of Merck, a pharmaceutical and health care products company, rose after the company raised its quarterly dividend by 15% and unveiled a $10 billion stock repurchase program. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and reduced its quarterly dividend.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight allocations to Occidental Petroleum Corp., BlackRock Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc. Shares of Occidental Petroleum, an oil and natural gas producer, fell as petroleum prices fell sharply late in the reporting period. Shares of BlackRock, an investment management company, fell amid an increase in financial market volatility and a sell-off in equity markets in the fourth quarter of 2018. Shares of Texas Instruments, a semiconductor maker, fell amid a global slowdown in demand for semiconductors.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers’ focus remained on stock selection, as they believed that quality companies trading at attractive valuations have the greatest potential to outperform in the long term. As the Fund aimed to purchase stocks with

above average dividend yields, the research process was designed to identify companies with predictable and durable business models deemed capable of generating sustainable free cash flow.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Growth and Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital growth over the long term and earn income from dividends.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the financials and consumer staples sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions T. Rowe Price Group Inc. and BlackRock Inc. and its underweight position in Procter & Gamble Inc. Shares of T. Rowe Price Group and BlackRock, both investment management providers, fell amid increased market volatility and a sell-off in U.S. equity markets in the fourth quarter of 2018. Shares of Procter & Gamble, a consumer products company not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and sales for its fiscal first quarter.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions General Electric Co., Exxon Mobil Corp. and Schlumberger Ltd. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and reduced its quarterly dividend. Shares of Exxon Mobil, an integrated oil and natural gas company, fell as petroleum prices declined sharply toward the end of the reporting period. Shares of Schlumberger, an oilfield services company not held in the Fund, fell as petroleum prices declined sharply toward the end of the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers focused on stock selection and aimed to invest in undervalued companies with durable franchises, strong management and the ability to grow their intrinsic value per share. The portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to security selection and fundamental research.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Growth and Income Fund, the Russell 1000 Value Index, the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds

Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 1000 Value 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index and 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 incurred by the Fund. The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index, which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index are indexes based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within designated categories as determined 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.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      (1.85)%  
S&P 500 Index      (6.85)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 3,339,856  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Hedged Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s options hedge allowed the Fund to generally perform as designed, delivering returns with less volatility than the Benchmark during the reporting period. The Fund captured 27% of the Benchmark’s total return with about 46% of the Benchmark’s volatility during the six month reporting period.

The Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and technology sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials and basic materials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in AutoZone Inc. and Microsoft Corp. and its underweight position in General Electric Co. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and sales for its fiscal first quarter at stores open more than one year. Shares of Microsoft, a provider of software and technology services, rose as investors sought protection from market volatility in large cap stocks. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and reduced its quarterly dividend.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in PVH Corp. and Nvidia Corp. and its underweight position in 21st Century Fox Inc. Shares of PVH, the parent company of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger apparel brands, fell amid investor disappointment with the company’s results for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductors manufacturer, fell after the company reported weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid a decline in demand for its specialty semiconductors. Shares of 21st Century Fox, television broadcaster and film production company, rose ahead of the company’s planned $71.3 billion acquisition by Walt Disney Co.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund used an enhanced index strategy that invests primarily in common stocks of large capitalization U.S. companies, while systematically purchasing and selling exchange-traded

index put options and selling exchange-traded index call options. The option overlay is known as a “Put/Spread Collar” strategy. The combination of the diversified portfolio of equity securities, downside protection from index put options and income from index call options provided the Fund with a portion of the returns associated with equity market investments while exposing the Fund to less risk than traditional long-only equity strategies.

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 December 13, 2013.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Hedged Equity Fund, the S&P 500 Index, the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Average from December 13, 2013 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P 500 Index and the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill 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 benchmarks, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Alternative 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 incurred 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 ICE BofAML 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 ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill 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. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. The Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Average is an average based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc.

Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund and through May 30, 2014, the Fund did not experience any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Fund 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 redemptions 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s overweight position in the health care sector and its underweight position in the energy sector, where the Fund had no holdings, were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Netflix.com Inc., Electronic Arts Inc. and Activision Blizzard Inc. Shares of Netflix, an online entertainment provider, fell amid investor concerns about increasing competition for subscribers and rising costs of entertainment content. Shares of Electronic Arts, a maker of digital interactive games and entertainment, fell after the company reduced its 2019 revenue and earnings forecast and delayed the launch of a significant game. Shares of Activision Blizzard, a provider of digital interactive entertainment, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and a weaker-than-expected earnings forecast for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Facebook Inc. and its overweight positions in Intuitive Surgical Inc. and ServiceNow Inc. Shares of Facebook, a social media provider, fell after the company reported mixed results for the second quarter of 2018 and issued a disappointing forecast. Shares of Intuitive Surgical, a surgical robotics company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of ServiceNow, a provider of cloud computing technology, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018 and raised its earnings forecast.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, rigorously researching individual companies

in an effort to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals and positive price momentum. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to invest in companies with attractive fundamentals that, in their view, possessed the potential to significantly exceed expectations for a prolonged period of time.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Large Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation with the incidental goal of achieving current income by investing primarily in equity securities.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the basic materials and insurance sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance, while the Fund’s overweight position in the health services sector and its security selection in the industrial cyclical sector were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Lennar Corp. and Lincoln National Corp. and its underweight position in Procter & Gamble Co. Shares of Lennar, a homebuilder, fell amid a broader sell-off in the homebuilder sector due to weakness in new home sales. Shares of Lincoln National, an insurance and financial services provider, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the second quarter of 2018. Shares of Procter & Gamble, a consumer products company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and sales for its fiscal first quarter.

Leading individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s underweight position in General Electric Co. and its overweight positions in Cigna Corp. and Delta Air Lines Inc. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and reduced its quarterly dividend. Shares of Cigna, a health insurance provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018 and raised its sales and profit forecast for the full year 2018. Shares of Delta Air Lines rose after the company issued an positive forecast for earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2018.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio manager combined a bottom-up fundamental approach to security selection with a systematic

valuation process. Overall, the Fund’s portfolio manager looked to take advantage of mispriced stocks that he believed appeared attractive relative to their fair value.

Returns for Class R3 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R3 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R3 Shares have similar expenses to Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares have similar expenses than Class I Shares.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the per- formance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Large Cap Value Fund, the Russell 1000 Value Index and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all

dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 1000 Value 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index 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 I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class L Shares)*      (7.69)%  
S&P 500 Index      (6.85)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 12,431,545  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

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

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the semiconductors & hardware sector and in the energy sector was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the pharmaceutical/medical technology and media sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Nvidia Corp. and PVH Corp. and its underweight position in Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductors manufacturer, fell after the company reported weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid a decline in demand for specialty semiconductors. Shares of PVH, the parent company of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger apparel brands, fell amid investor disappointment with the company’s results for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Berkshire Hathaway, an investment company not held by the Fund, rose amid analysts’ expectations for further growth in earnings in 2019.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in AutoZone Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Walt Disney Co. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and sales for its fiscal first quarter at stores open more than one year. Shares of Pfizer, a pharmaceutical and health care products company, rose after the company announced a plan with GlaxoSmithKline PLC to combine their consumer health care subsidiaries. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment and media company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal fourth quarter of 2018.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, researching companies to determine what they believed to be their underlying value and

potential for future earnings growth. As a result of this approach to stock selection, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the Benchmark for the six months ended December 31, 2018 were in the media and regional business sectors, while the Fund’s largest underweight positions were in the retail and financial sectors.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a consistently high total return from a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities with risk characteristics similar to the S&P 500 Index.

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the financials and basic materials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and technology sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in PVH Corp. and Nvidia Corp. and its underweight position 21st Century Fox Inc. Shares of PVH, the parent company of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger apparel brands, fell amid investor disappointment with the company’s results for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductors manufacturer, fell after the company reported weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid a decline in demand for its specialty semiconductors. Shares of 21st Century Fox, television broadcaster and film production company, rose ahead of the company’s planned $71.3 billion acquisition by Walt Disney Co.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in General Electric Co. and its overweight positions in AutoZone Inc. and Microsoft Corp. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and reduced its quarterly dividend. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and sales for its fiscal first quarter at stores open more than one year. Shares of Microsoft, a provider of software and technology services, rose as investors sought protection from market volatility in large cap stocks.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers attempted to construct the portfolio so that stock selection was the principal source of potential excess return. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought investment opportunities in companies that they believed were attractive based on valuation and strong fundamentals.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, thus, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board

 

 
78       J.P. MORGAN LARGE CAP FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2018


Table of Contents

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Boards of Trustees (the “Boards”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Boards.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Boards with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Boards. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Boards.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from Pricing Services. The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Futures contracts and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

Table of Contents

B. Futures Contracts — Hedged Equity Fund, U.S. Equity Fund and U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 are settled 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on 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 on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. 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 positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Funds’ futures contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands):

Ending Notional Balance Long

       113,386          44,679          62,450  

The Funds’ futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

C. Options — Hedged Equity Fund purchased and sold (“wrote”) put and call options on indices to manage and hedge equity risk within its portfolio. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller.

Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as options purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and records a loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or will offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.

Options Written — Premiums received by the Fund for options written are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options written on the Statements of Operations. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.

The Fund pledges collateral to the counterparty in the form of securities for options written. Securities designated as collateral are denoted on the SOI.

Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.

The Fund is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

The Fund’s exchange-traded option contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral for over the counter options. Cash collateral posted by the Fund is considered restricted.

The table below discloses the volume of the Fund’s options contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2018:

D. Securities Lending — Effective October 5, 2018, the Funds became authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the IM Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). 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 (amounts in thousands).

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities).

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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 on the SOIs. At December 31, 2018, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of Collateral investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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 declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to

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, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.16% to 0.06%. JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned 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 the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

G. Allocation of Income and Expenses — 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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 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 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. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

J. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly, except for Equity Focus Fund and Large Cap Growth Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid annually, and Equity Income Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid monthly. Distributions 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 by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Boards 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 on 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 Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Hedged Equity Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2018. Average borrowings from the Facility for the six months ended December 31, 2018, were as follows:

 

        Average
Borrowings
       Average
Interest
Rate Paid
       Number of
Days Outstanding
       Interest
Paid
 

Large Cap Value Fund

     $ 2,513          2.93        3        $ 1  

Interest expense paid as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”) Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

9. Business Combinations

On June 21, 2017, the Boards of the JPM I and JPM II approved the Plan of Reorganization of Dynamic Growth Fund (the “Target Fund”), a fund of JPM I, into Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a fund of JPM II. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two portfolios with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The reorganization was effective after the close of business on October 27, 2017. The Acquiring Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund as shown in the table below. The transaction was structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R5 shareholders of the Target Fund received a number of shares of the corresponding class in the Acquiring Fund, with a value equal to their holdings in the Target Fund as of the close of business on the date of the reorganization. The investment portfolio of the Target Fund, with a fair value of approximately $341,560,000 and identified cost of approximately $192,181,000 as of the date of the reorganization, was the principal asset acquired by the Acquiring Fund. For financial statement purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and

Expenses related to the reorganization were incurred by the Acquiring Fund. The Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor waived their fees and/or reimbursed the Fund in an amount sufficient to offset costs incurred by the Fund relating to the reorganization, excluding brokerage fees and brokerage expenses related to the disposition and acquisition of Fund assets associated with the reorganization.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on July 1, 2017, the beginning of the annual reporting period, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2018, are as follows:

 

Net investment income (loss)

   $ 345  

Net realized/unrealized gains (losses)

     3,304,329  
  

 

 

 

Change in net assets resulting from operations

   $ 3,304,674  

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that have been included on the Statements of Operations since October 27, 2017.

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 (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, 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 ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018 and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the Period” 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 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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds as compared to the Funds’ objectives and peer groups. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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 Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

Based upon 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 Adviser.

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

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’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 Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of

scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that each Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has added or enhanced services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer for the Equity Income Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and 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. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report.

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Equity Focus Fund, Growth and Income Fund, Hedged Equity Fund and U.S. Research Enhanced 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 Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater

 

 

 
98       J.P. MORGAN LARGE CAP FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2018


Table of Contents

responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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 Equity Focus Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, second and second quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one- three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second quintile based upon the Universe, for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Large Cap Value Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, and in the second, first and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe for each of the one, three, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the U.S. Equity Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, third and first quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third, second and first quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third, fifth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, fourth and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and

compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for each Fund, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations 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 Equity Focus Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Equity Income Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the third and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fifth and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that total actual expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Growth and Income Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe.

CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% - its lowest level in nearly 50 years - and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P.

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices reached record highs and remained elevated through September. However, share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

Overall, U.S. large cap equity outperformed mid cap and small cap equity and growth stocks outperformed value stocks. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the S&P 500 returned -6.85% and the Russell Midcap Index returned -11.14%.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      (10.96)%  
Russell 3000 Growth Index      (8.90)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)      $7,769,612  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital growth.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the producer durables and materials & processing sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Electronic Arts Inc., Nvidia Corp. and East West Bancorp Inc. Shares of Electronic Arts, a maker of digital interactive games and entertainment, fell after the company reduced its 2019 revenue and earnings forecast and delayed the launch of a significant game. The Fund eliminated its position in the stock during the reporting period. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductor manufacturer, fell after the company reported weaker-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid a decline in demand for its specialty semiconductors. Shares of East West Bancorp, a Chinese-American bank, fell amid investor concerns about U.S.-China trade tariffs and a weaker outlook for bank profit margins.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions Lennox International Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Waste Connections Inc. Shares of Lennox International, a provider of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, rose after the company raised its forecast for 2019 earnings. Shares of UnitedHealth Group, a health insurance provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Waste Connections, a provider of solid waste collection, transfer and disposal services not held in the Benchmark, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching individual companies across market capitalizations in an effort to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to invest in high quality companies with durable franchises that, in their view, possessed the ability to generate strong future earnings growth.

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 R2 and Class R3 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R3 Shares have similar expenses to Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R4 and Class R5 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares have similar expenses to Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares from January 8, 2009 to December 22, 2013 and Class I Shares prior to January 8, 2009. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 and Class I Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund, the Russell 3000 Growth Index and the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to

December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 3000 Growth 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Russell 3000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies (largest 3000 U.S. companies) with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Multi-Cap Growth 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.

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

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the Russell Midcap Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the energy sector and the materials & processing sector was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the technology and consumer staples sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Ball Corp., O’Reilly Automotive Inc. and Red Hat Inc. Shares of Ball, a metal packaging maker, rose after the company reaffirmed its 2019 forecast. Shares of O’Reilly Automotive, an automotive parts retailer, rose amid a healthy environment for the auto parts sector and investor expectations that the company will perform well in the later stages of the economic expansion. Shares of Red Hat, a provider of open source software, rose after IBM Corp. agreed to acquire the company for an estimated $34 billion.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in EQT Inc., Mohawk Industries Inc. and Electronic Arts Inc. Shares of EQT, a natural gas production and transmission company, fell after the company reported higher operating expenses and lower-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Mohawk Industries, a maker of commercial and residential flooring, fell amid a slump in the U.S. housing sector. Shares of Electronic Arts, a maker of digital interactive games and entertainment not held in the Benchmark, fell after the company reduced its 2019 revenue and earnings forecast and delayed the launch of a significant game.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing a portfolio based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening and proprietary

fundamental analysis. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to identify dominant franchises with predictable business models they deemed capable of achieving, in their view, sustained growth, as well as undervalued companies with the potential to grow their intrinsic value per share.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth of capital.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the technology sector and its lack of a position in the consumer staples sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care and financial services sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Electronic Arts Inc. and Red Rock Resorts Inc. and its underweight position in Advanced Micro Devices Inc. Shares of Electronic Arts, a maker of digital interactive games and entertainment not held in the Benchmark, fell after the company reduced its 2019 revenue and earnings forecast and delayed the launch of a significant game. The Fund eliminated its holdings of Electronic Arts during the reporting period. Shares of Red Rock Resorts, a casino and entertainment properties operator not held in the Benchmark, fell amid higher-than-expected construction costs at its Palms project and general industry weakness in per-room revenue. Shares of Advanced Micro Devices, a maker of semiconductors, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 and shifted production to smaller, faster processing units.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in O’Reilly Automotive Inc., DexCom Inc. and Red Hat Inc. Shares of O’Reilly Automotive, an automotive parts retailer, rose amid a healthy environment for the auto parts sector and investor expectations that the company will perform well in the later stages of the economic expansion. Shares of DexCom, a medical device maker, rose after the company reported better-than-expected revenue and strong demand for its blood glucose monitoring devices. Shares of Red Hat, a provider of open source software, rose after IBM Corp. agreed to acquire the company for an estimated $34 billion.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching individual companies in an effort to construct a portfolio of stocks that have strong fundamentals. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to invest in high quality companies with durable franchises that, in their view, possessed the ability to generate strong future earnings growth.

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 the Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class I Shares. Prior performance for Class R2, Class R3 and Class R4 Shares has been adjusted to reflect the differences in expenses between classes. The actual returns of Class R5 and Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 and Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Russell Midcap Growth Index and the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell Midcap Growth 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

gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Russell Midcap Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index is an index based on total returns of certain mutual funds within designated categories as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class L Shares)*      (11.50)%

Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)      $15,024,150  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth from capital appreciation.

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares outperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the energy and materials sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the real estate and consumer staples sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Ball Corp. and AutoZone Inc. and an underweight position in Western Digital Co. Shares of Ball, a metal packaging maker, rose after the company reaffirmed its 2019 forecast. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and sales for its fiscal first quarter. Shares of Western Digital, a maker of data storage devices not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions EQT Corp., Mohawk Industries Inc. and PVH Corp. Shares of EQT, a natural gas production and transmission company, fell after the company reported higher operating expenses and lower-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Mohawk Industries, a maker of commercial and residential flooring, fell amid a slump in the U.S. housing sector. Shares of PVH, the parent company of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger apparel brands, fell amid investor disappointment with the company’s results for the third quarter of 2018.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection and sought to identify durable franchises possessing the ability to generate, in their view, sustainable levels of free cash flow.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class L Shares)*      (8.03)%  
Russell 3000 Value Index      (7.51)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 9,877,347  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term total return from a combination of income and capital gains.

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the financials and communications services sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance, while the Fund’s security selection in the energy and industrials sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Capital One Financial Corp., Dish Network Corp. and EQT Corp. Shares of Capital One Financial, a credit card and financial services provider, fell after the company reported third quarter 2018 revenue in line with analysts’ estimates. Shares of Dish Network, a subscription television service, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue and a decline in subscriptions for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of EQT, a natural gas production and transmission company, fell after the company reported higher operating expenses and lower-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018.

Leading individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s overweight position in Ball Corp. and its underweight positions in General Electric Co. and Schlumberger Ltd. Shares of Ball, a metal packaging maker, rose after the company reaffirmed its 2019 forecast. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and reduced its quarterly dividend. Shares of Schlumberger, an oilfield services company not held in the Fund, fell as petroleum prices declined toward the end of the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection and sought to identify durable franchises

possessing the ability to generate, in the portfolio managers’ view, significant levels of free cash flow.

*   Class R2 Shares commenced operations on July 31, 2017 for JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund and JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund (“Growth Advantage Fund”) and JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund (“Mid Cap Equity Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term capital growth.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”) is to seek growth of capital.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”) is to seek growth from capital appreciation.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund (“Value Advantage Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term total return from a combination of income and capital gains.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, thus, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Boards of Trustees (the “Boards”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Boards.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Boards with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as

 

 
54       J.P. MORGAN MID CAP/MULTI-CAP FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2018


Table of Contents

directed by the Boards. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Boards.

A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds’ investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Boards. This may include related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. 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.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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

B. Securities Lending — Effective October 5, 2018, the Funds became authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the IM Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). 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 (amounts in thousands).

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities).

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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 on the SOIs. At December 31, 2018, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of Collateral investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

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 declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the Collateral Investments to fund the payment of this liability.

The rate shown is the current yield as of December 31, 2018.

(c)

Amount rounds to less than one thousand.

*

Amount is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

D. 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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and dividend expense on securities sold short, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned 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 the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

E. Allocation of Income and Expenses — 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

F. 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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of each Fund. 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 by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 Investment Advisory Agreements, the Adviser supervises the investments of each 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 rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Growth Advantage Fund

     0.65

Mid Cap Equity Fund

     0.65  

Mid Cap Growth Fund

     0.65  

Mid Cap Value Fund

     0.65  

Value Advantage Fund

     0.65  

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to Administration Agreements, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services during the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Administrator received a fee that was accrued daily and paid monthly at an 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 covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, the effective annualized rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets, 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion and 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trusts’ principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Boards have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class L, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

      Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R3  

Growth Advantage Fund

     0.25        0.75        0.50        0.25

JPMDS 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 JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statements of Operations. Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations. Prior to March 1, 2018, payments to the custodian were reduced by credits earned by each Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately on the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 was as follows (amounts in thousands):

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Boards 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 on 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 Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the six months ended December 31, 2018, Growth Advantage Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

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.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2018. Average borrowings from the Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018, were as follows (amounts in thousands, except number of days outstanding):

Mid Cap Equity Fund

   $ 13,588          2.71        1        $ 1  

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2018-13 (ASU 2018-13) Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

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 (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, 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 ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the Period” 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 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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds as compared to the Funds’ objectives and peer groups. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined and that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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 Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based upon 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 Adviser.

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

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’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 Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of

scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that each Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has added or enhanced services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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

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

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Growth Advantage Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, and Value Advantage 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 Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and

observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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 Growth Advantage Fund’s performance for Class A and Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Equity Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first, third and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first, second and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31,

2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Growth Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, fourth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, fourth and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, and in the second, fourth and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Value Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, fourth and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third, third and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, third and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances. The Trustees requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the Board’s equity committee at each of its regularly scheduled meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the Value Advantage Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, third and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, and in the fourth, third and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended

December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for each Fund, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations 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 Growth Advantage Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fifth and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Equity Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the

second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second quintile based upon the Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Growth Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fourth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I Shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Value Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A shares was in the fifth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Value Advantage Fund’s net advisory fee Class A shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fifth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe.

CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% - its lowest level in nearly 50 years - and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P.

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices reached record highs and remained elevated through September. However, share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

Overall, U.S. large cap equity outperformed mid cap and small cap equity and growth stocks outperformed value stocks. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the S&P 500 returned (6.85)% and the Russell 2000 Index returned (17.35)%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Blend Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital growth over the long term.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the information technology sector and its underweight position in the energy sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials and communications sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Amedisys Inc., Elastic NV and Okta Inc. Shares of Amedisys, a home health care and hospice care provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the second and third quarters of 2018. Shares of Elastic, a provider of open source search and data analytics services not held in the Benchmark, rose following its fourth quarter 2018 initial public stock offering and after the company reported strong revenue growth in its first quarterly report to shareholders. Shares of Okta, a provider of security identify and access management software not held in the Benchmark, rose after the company reported growth in subscription revenue and higher-than-expected free cash flow margins in the second quarter of 2018 and after the company raised its full-year 2018 revenue forecast.

Leading individual detractors from performance relative included the Fund’s overweight positions in OptiNose Inc., Boyd Gaming Corp. and Texas Capital Bancshares Inc. Shares of OptiNose, a specialty pharmaceutical company, fell amid negative investor reaction to the company’s move to a “zero co-pay” strategy for its products. Shares of Boyd Gaming, a casinos and gaming company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2018. Shares of Texas Capital Bancshares, a bank not held in the Benchmark, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, 2018, the Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching

individual companies in an effort to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals. The Fund’s portfolio managers preferred to invest in high quality companies with durable franchises that, in their view, possessed the ability to generate consistent earnings. With the effectiveness of the investment strategy change, the portfolio managers positioned the Fund to invest in small cap companies across both growth and value styles.

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 R6 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 have different expenses than Class I Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Small Cap Blend Fund, the Russell 2000 Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 2000 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index

which measures the performance of the 2000 smallest stocks (on the basis of capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index. The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index 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.

Effective June 1, 2018 (“the Effective Date”), the Fund’s investment strategies changed. Although past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future, in view of these changes, the Fund’s performance record prior to this date might be less relevant for investors considering whether to purchase shares of the Fund.

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

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital growth over the long term.

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

The Fund’s Class R5 Shares underperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and media sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the software & services sector and the systems hardware sector was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Tenet Healthcare Corp., Cooper Standard Holdings Inc. and Acco Brands Corp. Shares of Tenet Healthcare, an operator of hospitals and other health care facilities, fell after the company forecast fourth quarter 2018 results that were below analysts’ expectations and after a U.S. District judge ruled the U.S. Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, though the ruling was stayed pending appeal. Shares of Cooper Standard, a maker of automotive components, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2018 amid challenging market conditions, particularly in Asia and Europe. Shares of Acco Brands, a maker of office products, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018 and lowered its earnings forecast for the full year 2018.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Renewable Energy Group Inc., Molina Healthcare Inc. and Helen of Troy Corp. Shares of Renewable Energy Group, a producer of biofuel and renewable chemicals, rose after the company reported better-than-expected revenue and cash flow. Shares of Molina Healthcare, a health insurance provider not held in the Benchmark, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the second quarter of 2018 and raised its full year 2018 forecast amid continued growth. Shares of Helen of Troy, a maker of personal care products and household appliances, rose after the company reported better-than-expected sales for its fiscal second quarter and raised its revenue and earnings forecast for the full fiscal year.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

In accordance with its investment process, the Fund’s portfolio managers take limited sector bets and construct the Fund so

that stock selection is typically the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio managers employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, using quantitative screening and proprietary analysis to construct a portfolio of companies that they believe are attractively valued and possess strong momentum. During the reporting period, the Fund was managed and positioned in accordance with this investment process.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital growth over the long term.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the materials & processing sector and the health care sector was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’ security selection in the financial services sector and its underweight position in the utilities sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in National Retail Properties Inc., Aptargroup Inc. and Brady Corp. Shares of National Retail Properties, a retail sector real estate investment trust not held in the Benchmark, rose as investors sought the defensive characteristics of the company amid financial market volatility in the fourth quarter of 2018. Shares of Aptargroup, a maker of consumer product dispensers not held in the Benchmark, rose on news that it would acquire CSP Technologies. Shares of Brady, a maker of specialty materials and product identification systems, rose after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue and raised its 2019 forecast.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Core Laboratories NV, SRC Energy Inc. and Patterson-UTI Energy Inc. Shares of Core Laboratories, a provider of analytics and services to petroleum and natural gas producers not held in the Benchmark, fell due to delays in international development activity and a decline in global oil prices. Shares of SRC Energy, and oil and gas exploration company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected results for the second quarter of 2018 and reduced its production forecast. Shares of Patterson-UTI Energy, a provider of oil and gas drilling services not held in the Benchmark, fell due to a decline in global oil prices.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals and proprietary analysis. The Fund’s

portfolio managers looked for companies that, in their view, had leading competitive advantages, predictable and durable business models, and sustainable free cash flow generation with management teams committed to increasing intrinsic value.

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 R3 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R3 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R3 Shares had different expenses than Class A Shares at time of launch.

Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares have similar expenses to Class I Shares.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Class R5 Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Small Cap Equity Fund, the Russell 2000 Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital

gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 2000 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 2000 smallest stocks (on the basis of capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index. The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index 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 A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% sales charge.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      (17.00)%  
Russell 2000 Growth Index      (17.33)%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2018 (In Thousands)    $ 2,059,146  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of small-capitalization and emerging growth companies.

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the materials & processing sector and its security selection and overweight position in the technology sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s underweight position and security selection in the financial service sector and its security selection in the consumer discretionary sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Amedisys Inc., Okta Inc. and Ciena Corp. Shares of Amedisys, a home health care and hospice care provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the second and third quarters of 2018. Shares of Okta, a provider of security identify and access management software not held in the Benchmark, rose after the company reported growth in subscription revenue and higher-than-expected free cash flow margins in the second quarter of 2018 and after the company raised its full-year 2018 revenue forecast. Shares of Ciena, a provider of network and communications infrastructure not held in the Benchmark, rose following several quarters of revenue growth and better-than-expected margins.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in OptiNose Inc., Floor & Décor Holdings Inc. and Texas Capital Bancshares Inc. Shares of OptiNose, a specialty pharmaceutical company, fell amid negative investor reaction to the company’s move to a “zero co-pay” strategy for its products. Shares of Floor & Décor Holdings, a retailer of hard surface flooring that was not held in the Benchmark, fell after the company issued a weak sales forecast amid decelerating demand in the housing market. Shares of Texas Capital Bancshares, a bank that was not held in the Benchmark, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching individual companies in an effort to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals. The Fund’s portfolio managers preferred to invest in high quality companies with durable franchises that, in their view, possessed the ability to generate strong future earnings growth.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth primarily by investing in equity securities of small-capitalization companies.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and real estate investment trust sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the finance and basic materials sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Acco Brands Corp., Penn National Gaming Inc. and Dillard’s Inc. Shares of Acco Brands, a maker of office products, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018 and lowered its earnings forecast for the full year 2018. Shares of Penn National Gaming, a casino and racetrack operator, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018 and issued a fourth quarter 2018 forecast that was below analysts’ expectations. Shares of Dillard’s, a retail chain, fell after the company reported elevated inventory growth.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Xperi Corp., FTI Consulting Inc. and K12 Inc. Shares of Xperi, a semiconductor manufacturer, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for the fourth quarter and the full year 2018 following the settlement of litigation with Samsung Electronics Co. Shares of FTI Consulting, a provider of business advisory services, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the second quarter of 2018 and raised its forecast for the full year 2018. Shares of K12, a provider of educations products and technologies, rose after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

In accordance with Fund’s investment process, its portfolio managers take limited sector bets and construct the Fund so that stock selection is typically the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio

managers use a quantitative ranking methodology to identify stocks in each sector that, in their view, trade at attractive levels. Through bottom-up fundamental research, they seek companies that they believe have attractive valuations, exhibit high earnings quality and have management teams that make effective capital deployment decisions. During the reporting period, the Fund was managed and positioned in accordance with this investment process.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. Small Company Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of small company stocks.

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and telecommunications sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the finance and pharmaceutical sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Acco Brands Corp., Tenet Healthcare Corp. and Rambus Inc. Shares of Acco Brands, a maker of office products, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018 and lowered its earnings forecast for the full year 2018. Shares of Tenet Healthcare, an operator of hospitals and other health care facilities, fell after the company forecast fourth quarter 2018 results that were below analysts’ expectations and after a U.S. District judge ruled the U.S. Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, though the ruling was stayed pending appeal. Shares of Rambus, a maker of semiconductors and related products, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2018 and forecast a flat outlook for 2019.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Mallinckrodt PLC, Molina Healthcare Inc. and Integer Holdings Corp. Shares of Mallinckrodt, a specialty pharmaceuticals company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings for the third quarter of 2018 and raised its earnings forecast for the full year 2018. Shares of Molina Healthcare, a health insurance provider not held in the Benchmark, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the second quarter of 2018 and raised its full year 2018 forecast amid continued growth.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE (12/31/08 TO 12/31/18)

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 R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares have similar expenses to Class I Shares.

Returns for Class R2 and Class R3 shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of the Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R3 Shares have similar expenses to Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R5 and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of the Class L Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R5 Shares have higher expenses than Class L Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than these shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class L Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Small Company Fund, the Russell 2000 Index and the

Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 2000 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 2000 smallest stocks (on the basis of capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index. The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index 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 L Shares have a $3,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. 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 redemptions 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.

Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.

(b)

Not annualized for periods less than one year.

(d)

Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.005% unless otherwise noted.

(e)

Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.

(f)

Net investment income (loss) may appear disproportionate among the classes due to the timing of recognition of income and changes in the relative size of the classes.

(h)

Amount rounds to less than $0.005.

(i)

Reflects special dividends paid out during the period by one of the Fund’s holdings. Had the Fund not received the special dividends, the net investment income (loss) per share would have been $0.09 and the net investment income (loss) ratio would have been 0.17% for Class R5 Shares.

(e)

Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.005% unless otherwise noted.

Class R6 commenced operations on July 2, 2018 for JPMorgan Small Cap Blend Fund.

The investment objectives of JPMorgan Small Cap Blend Fund (“Small Cap Blend Fund”), JPMorgan Small Cap Core Fund (“Small Cap Core Fund”) and JPMorgan Small Cap Equity Fund (“Small Cap Equity Fund”) are to seek capital growth over the long term.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth Fund”) is to seek long-term capital growth primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of small-capitalization and emerging growth companies.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”) is to seek long-term capital growth primarily by investing in equity securities of small-capitalization companies.

The investment objective of JPMorgan U.S. Small Company Fund (“U.S. Small Company Fund”) is to seek to provide high total return from a portfolio of small company stocks.

Class L Shares for the Small Cap Growth Fund and U.S. Small Company Fund are publicly offered on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase shares of the Funds unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Funds’ prospectuses.

All share classes of the Small Cap Equity Fund are publicly offered only on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase shares of the Fund unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Fund’s prospectuses.

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 Class I, Class L, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares. 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. Beginning on November 14, 2017, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after ten years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, thus, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Boards of Trustees (the “Boards”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Boards.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Boards with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Boards. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security

Table of Contents

specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Boards.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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

B. Futures Contracts — Small Cap Core Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and U.S. Small Company Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds buy futures contracts to 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 are settled 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on 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 on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. 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 positions.

The table below discloses the volume of the Funds’ futures contracts activity during the six month ended December 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands):

       11,067          37,654          19,029  

The Funds’ futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

C. Securities Lending — Effective October 5, 2018, the Funds became authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the IM Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). 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 (amounts in thousands).

Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities).

The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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 on the SOIs. At December 31, 2018, the value of outstanding securities on loan and the value of Collateral investments were as follows (amounts in thousands):

     107,364          109,798          109,798  

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 declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the Collateral Investments to fund the payment of this liability.

The following table presents the Funds’ value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collated received or posted by the Funds as of December 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands).

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, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

Investment in affiliate. Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

(b)

The rate shown is the current yield as of December 31, 2018.

  *

Amount is included in the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned 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 the 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 — 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

      Class A      Class C     Class I      Class L      Class R2     Class R3     Class R4     Class R5     Class R6     Total

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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

H. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually, except for Small Cap Value Fund, which are generally declared and paid quarterly. Distributions 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 by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 Investment Advisory Agreements, the Adviser supervises the investments of each 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 rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Small Cap Blend Fund

     0.65

Small Cap Core Fund

     0.65  

Small Cap Equity Fund

     0.65  

Small Cap Growth Fund

     0.65  

Small Cap Value Fund

     0.65  

U.S. Small Company Fund

     0.60  

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to Administration Agreements, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services during the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Administrator received a fee that was accrued daily and paid monthly at an 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 covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, the effective annualized rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets, 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion and 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trusts’ principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Boards have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class L, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R3

Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on 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 Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had non-affiliated omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

 

      Number of
Non-Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts
       % of
the Fund
 

Small Cap Blend Fund

     3          55.5

Small Cap Core Fund

Small Cap Equity Fund

     1          10.3  

Small Cap Growth Fund

     1          13.4  

As of December 31, 2018, the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the following Funds:

 

      JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Funds
 

Small Cap Growth Fund

     12.7

Small Cap Value Fund

     19.7  

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance.

Because the Funds may invest a significant portion of their assets in REITs, the Funds may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults by tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders, and certain REITs have self-liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time.

Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds’ original investment. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”) Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

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 (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, 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 ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the period” 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 each 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 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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds as compared to the Funds’ objectives and peer groups. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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 Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.

Based upon 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 Adviser.

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

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’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 Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of

scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that each Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has added or enhanced services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

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

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

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Small Cap Blend Fund, Small Cap Core Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, and U.S. Small Company 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 Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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 Small Cap Blend Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was also in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017.

Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Core Fund’s performance for Class A Shares was in the first quintile based upon the Peer Group and in the second quintile based upon the Universe

for the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R5 shares was in the first, second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, third and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively . The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Equity Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the second, first and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I Shares was in the first, first, and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Growth Fund’s performance for both Class A and Class I shares was in the first quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Value Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fifth quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, and in the fifth, fourth and fourth quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the fifth, fourth and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and in the fifth, fourth and fourth quintile based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under

the circumstances. They requested, however, that the Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the Equity Committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.

The Trustees noted that the U.S. Small Company Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in fifth, fifth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fifth, fourth and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in fourth, fifth and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the fifth, fourth and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances. They requested, however, that the Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the equity committee 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 and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for each Fund, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations 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 Small Cap Blend Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the third quintile based upon the Peer Group and in the second quintile based upon the Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe; and Class I shares were in the first and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in

light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Core Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and in the second quintile based upon the Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the second quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class R5 shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% — its lowest level in nearly 50 years — and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

 

Sincerely yours,

FUNDS COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES*

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. The remaining JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Funds each seek high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as each Fund approaches and passes its respective target retirement date.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

U.S. equity markets posted negative returns for the reporting period, though they generally outperformed equities in both developed markets and emerging markets. Global bond markets generally had a lackluster performance in the second half of 2018.

U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices returned to record highs and remained elevated through September. However, share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then prices rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

In Europe, equity markets came under pressure from slowing economic growth, political tensions within the European Union (the “EU”) and uncertainty about Britain’s planned exit from the EU. Emerging market equity prices fell as rising U.S. interest rates and signs that U.S.-China trade tariffs were curbing demand from Chinese manufacturers. Notably, emerging market bonds rebounded slightly during the second half of 2018.

Overall, U.S. large cap equity outperformed mid cap and small cap equity and growth stocks outperformed value stocks. Within fixed income, investment grade corporate bonds outperformed high yield bonds (also known as junk bonds) during the reporting period.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUNDS’ PERFORMANCE?

Nine of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds (Class I Shares or Class R5 Shares) (the “Funds”) underperformed their respective S&P Target Date indexes (the “benchmarks”) for the six months

ended December 31, 2018. The JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2060 Fund outperformed its benchmark for the reporting period.

In terms of manager selection, the Funds’ investments in the JPMorgan International Advantage Fund (formerly the JPMorgan Intrepid International Fund) and the JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund detracted from relative performance.

The Funds’ higher strategic allocations to global — rather than U.S. — equity, detracted from performance. Conversely, the Funds’ lower overall allocations to equity contributed positively to performance. From a tactical perspective, the Funds’ overweight allocations to U.S. large cap equity detracted from performance, while the Funds’ underweight allocations to European equity helped performance.

Strategic asset allocation involves setting long-term target allocations to various asset classes and periodically rebalancing the portfolio in accordance with those targets. Tactical asset allocation generally involves a more active trading approach and seeks to take advantage of short-to-intermediate term investment opportunities

HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED?

The Funds invested in underlying J.P. Morgan Funds to implement the Funds’ portfolio managers’ asset allocation decisions. The Funds’ portfolio managers used a systematic screening and selection process to choose the underlying funds in their construction of the portfolios. Relative to their respective benchmarks, the Funds invested across a broader range of asset classes.

The Funds’ portfolio managers believed that this diversification would help shield the Funds from market volatility and contribute to the Funds’ long-term risk-adjusted returns. In addition, they sought to invest in asset classes that have had historically lower correlations to the broader fixed income and equity markets. The Funds’ portfolio managers also used futures contracts to help manage cash flows and implement tactical asset allocations.

 

*   The adviser seeks to achieve each Fund’s objective. There can be no guarantee it will be achieved.

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 R3 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R3 Shares have different expenses than Class A Shares. Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R4 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares. Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class R5 Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund, the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of

the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund (except prior to June 1, 2017, the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index was previously adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees) and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the broad based securities market index, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. On June 1, 2017, S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that establishes the broad-based securities market index used by the Fund, changed the methodology used to calculate the S&P Target Date Retirement Indices. The S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index was comprised of exchange traded funds (ETFs), adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., gross return). Effective June 1, 2017, the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index is comprised of underlying indices of securities. Effective May 31, 2017, the prior version of the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index was discontinued. As a result, performance for the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index prior to June 1, 2017 was linked to an S&P Target Date Retirement Index that was comprised of ETFs and that was not adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., total return). The name of the Fund’s S&P Target Date Retirement Index did not change and there is no change in the Fund’s

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 R3 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R3 Shares have different expenses than Class A Shares. Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R4 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares. Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class R5 Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2030 Fund, the S&P Target Date 2030 Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Index from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and

does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P Target Date 2030 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund (except prior to June 1, 2017, the S&P Target Date 2030 Index was previously adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees) and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the broad based securities market index, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. On June 1, 2017, S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that establishes the broad-based securities market index used by the Fund, changed the methodology used to calculate the S&P Target Date Retirement Indices. The S&P Target Date 2030 Index was comprised of exchange traded funds (ETFs), adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., gross return). Effective June 1, 2017, the S&P Target Date 2030 Index is comprised of underlying indices of securities. Effective May 31, 2017, the prior version of the S&P Target Date 2030 Index was discontinued. As a result, performance for the S&P Target Date 2030 Index prior to June 1, 2017 was linked to an S&P Target Date Retirement Index that was comprised of ETFs and that was not adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., total return). The name of the Fund’s S&P Target Date Retirement Index did not change and there is no change in the Fund’s investment strategies as a result of the change. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2030 Funds Index is an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the

The performance of the S&P Target Date 2050 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund (except prior to June 1, 2017, the S&P Target Date 2050 Index was previously adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees) and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the broad based securities market index, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2050 Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. On June 1, 2017, S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that establishes the broad-based securities market index used by the Fund, changed the methodology used to calculate the S&P Target Date Retirement Indices. The S&P Target Date 2050 Index was comprised of exchange traded funds (ETFs), adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., gross return). Effective June 1, 2017, the S&P Target Date 2050 Index is comprised of underlying indices of securities. Effective May 31, 2017, the prior version of the S&P Target Date 2050 Index was discontinued. As a result, performance for the S&P Target Date 2050 Index prior to June 1, 2017 was linked to an S&P Target Date Retirement Index that was comprised of ETFs and that was not adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., total return). The name of the Fund’s S&P Target Date Retirement Index did not change and there is no change in the Fund’s investment strategies as a result of the change. Investors cannot directly invest in an index. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2050 Funds Average is an average based on the

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

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 10 separate funds of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversified/Non-Diversified
JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Income Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6    Diversified

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. The remaining JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds each seek high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as each Fund approaches and passes its respective target retirement date.

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 Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares. 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. Beginning on November 14, 2017, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after ten years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, thus, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments, as well as certain derivatives with equity reference obligations, are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated. Investments in open-end investment companies excluding exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) (the “Underlying Funds”), are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed

Table of Contents

income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

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

(a)

All portfolio holdings designated as level 1 and level 2 are disclosed individually on the SOIs. Level 2 consists of foreign futures with equity reference obligations and a U.S. Treasury Note held as initial margin for futures contracts. Please refer to the SOIs for asset class specifics of portfolio holdings.

There were no transfers among any levels during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

B. Futures Contracts — The Funds used treasury, foreign exchange and index futures contracts to gain exposure to or to overweight or underweight allocations among various sectors or markets, maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 are settled 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation/ depreciation on 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 on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the SOIs and cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price and interest rate risks. 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 positions.

Table of Contents

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at December 31, 2018 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

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.

The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and 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. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

E. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser or their affiliates. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchase cost amounts in the table below. Included in the purchases and sales amounts in the tables below are exchanges between certain share classes of the affiliated Underlying Funds. Such exchanges are not treated as purchases and sales for the purpose of recognizing realized gains (losses) or portfolio turnover.

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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds and ETFs, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

G. Allocation of Income and 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 are as follows:

The Funds invest in Underlying Funds and certain Funds invest in ETFs and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds and ETFs. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statements of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.F.

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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

I. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid quarterly and 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 by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of each Fund and receives no compensation for performing such services, although the Adviser and its affiliates receive investment advisory fees from the Underlying Funds.

The Adviser reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. The Administrator does not receive a separate fee for services to the Funds but does receive fees for services to the Underlying Funds.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

Prior to November 1, 2017, the Administrator paid many of the ordinary expenses incurred by the Funds in their operations including taxes, ordinary fees and expenses for legal and auditing services, fees and expenses of pricing services, the expenses of preparing (including typesetting), printing

and mailing reports, prospectuses, statements of additional information, proxy solicitation material and notices to existing shareholders, all expenses incurred in connection with issuing and redeeming shares (other than transfer agency expenses), the cost of custodial and fund accounting services, and the cost of initial and ongoing registration of the shares under Federal and state securities laws. Effective November 1, 2017, these expenses are paid by the Funds.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Distribution Plan. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A      Class C        Class R2        Class R3  
     0.25%        0.75        0.50        0.25

In addition, JPMDS 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, JPMDS retained the following amounts:

D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee, except for Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued 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 I        Class R2        Class R3        Class R4        Class R5  
       0.25        0.25        0.25        0.25        0.25        0.25        0.10

JPMDS 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 JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. As part of its Administration Agreement, the Administrator pays fees and certain expenses for custody and fund accounting.

Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and are in place until at least October 31, 2019.

The Underlying Funds may impose separate service fees. To avoid charging a service fee at an effective rate above 0.25% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4 Shares and 0.10% for Class R5 Shares, the shareholder servicing agent will waive service fees with respect to the Funds in an amount equal to the weighted average pro-rata amount of service fees charged by the Underlying Funds up to 0.25% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4 Shares and up to 0.10% with respect to Class R5 Shares. The Funds’ shareholder servicing agent has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees it collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds.

For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

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

The Board 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 on 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 Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

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.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2018. Average borrowings from the Facility for the six months ended December 31, 2018, were as follows:

 

      Average

       Average Interest

       Number of
Days Outstanding
       Interest

JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2020 Fund

   $ 6,889,609          2.94        3        $ 1,689  

Interest expense paid as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), has entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended. Prior to August 15, 2017, JPMorgan SmartRetirement 2060 Fund was not a party to the Credit Facility. This Fund was added to the Credit Facility on August 15, 2017.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the Credit Facility at December 31, 2018.

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

Because of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds and ETFs, the Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and ETFs. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Funds are also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ investments in securities and financial instruments such as fixed income securities, including high yield, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities; equity secu-

rities, foreign and emerging markets securities, commodities and real estate securities. These securities are subject to risks specific to their structure, sector or market.

The Funds invest in unaffiliated ETFs. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs may be structured as investment companies, depositary receipts or other pooled investment vehicles and may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indices, as well as indices relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price below or above their NAV (also known as a discount or premium, respectively).

In addition, the Underlying Funds and ETFs may use derivative instruments in connection with their individual investment strategies including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives, which are also subject to specific risks related to their structure, sector or market and may be riskier than investments in other types of securities.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds and ETFs are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds’ original investment. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”) Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

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 (2) ongoing costs, including 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 (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the Period” 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 Funds 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, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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

 

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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each of the Funds whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information concerning the Funds and the underlying J.P. Morgan Funds in which each of the Funds invests (the “Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees’ considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds and/or Underlying Funds as compared to the Funds objectives and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal

standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below.

Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and Underlying Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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 Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

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

Table of Contents

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

Based upon 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 Adviser.

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

The Trustees noted that there was no advisory fee charged to the Funds. At the request of the Trustees, the Adviser provided information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Funds and Underlying Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds and Underlying Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund and Underlying Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds and/or Underlying Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services to the Underlying Funds, noting that, prior to November 1, 2017, JPMIM paid such fees for the Funds pursuant to the Administration Agreement.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ investments in the Underlying Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees also noted that there was not an investment advisory fee or administrative fee charged to the Funds. The Trustees further noted that prior to November 1, 2017, JPMIM paid many of the ordinary expenses incurred by the Funds including organization costs, taxes, ordinary fees and expenses for legal and auditing services, fees and expenses of pricing services, the expenses of preparing (including typesetting), printing and mailing reports, prospectuses, statements of additional information, proxy solicitation material and notices to existing shareholders, all expenses incurred in connection with issuing and redeeming shares (not including transfer agency fees), the cost of custodian and fund accounting services, and the cost of initial and ongoing registration of the shares under Federal and state securities laws. The Trustees considered the extent to which each Fund was priced to scale and noted that each Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has added or enhanced services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees of the

(continued)

 

Underlying Funds. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Chief Compliance Officer’s report.

Fees Relative to Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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:

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Funds are not charged a separate investment advisory fee by the Adviser and the Trustees considered the reasonableness of the investment advisory fee and expense ratio of the Underlying Funds with respect to the Funds. The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Underlying Fund to the Adviser or its affiliates by comparing that rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Underlying Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported each Underlying Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate. The Trustees also considered the Fee Caps currently in place for each Underlying Fund, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account waivers and/or reimbursements, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s

CEO’S LETTER

February 14, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

While the U.S. economy largely outperformed other leading economies during the second half of 2018, record corporate profits and historically low unemployment were overshadowed in December by a sell-off in equity markets, unsettled global trade tensions and a political impasse that led to the temporary shutdown of large parts of the federal government.

“Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018.” — George C.W. Gatch

The second longest U.S. economic expansion on record extended through the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Gross domestic product advanced 3.4% in the third quarter of 2018, and was on pace to grow by about 3% for the full year 2018. In September, the U.S. jobless rate dipped to 3.7% - its lowest level in nearly 50 years - and stood at 3.9% at the end of the year. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September and again in December.

U.S. aggregate corporate revenues and earnings reached record high levels in the second and third quarters of 2018. Though some profit growth was attributed to the temporary benefits of late-2017 tax cut legislation, the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings remained generally positive at the end of the year.

Equity prices in the U.S. largely rose during the third quarter of 2018. The S&P 500 Index hit record highs in August and remained elevated in September. However, early October saw a sharp sell-off in financial markets and the worst December for

the S&P 500 Index since 1931 erased all gains seen in the prior five months.

By the end of 2018, investors were confronted with several worrying developments. Leading economies, particularly China and the European Union, showed significant signs of slowing in the latter half of the year. While U.S.-China trade tariffs had little clear direct impact on the U.S. economy in 2018, a continuation or acceleration of protectionist policies could begin to hinder growth. Though the federal government shutdown ended subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the solution was a short-term budget agreement that failed to alleviate concerns about the possibility of future shutdowns.

Overall, economists generally remained optimistic about the fundamental strength of the U.S. economy at the end of 2018. While U.S. corporate profits and gross domestic product are expected to grow in the year ahead, the extent to which U.S. financial markets benefit remains to be seen, given the length of the current economic expansion.

We believe investors who maintain a patient approach and a well-diversified portfolio may be best positioned to navigate current market conditions. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

 

Sincerely yours,

JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Blend Funds

FUNDS COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited)

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES*

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Blend Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. The remaining JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Blend Funds each seek high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as each Fund approaches and passes its respective target retirement date.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

U.S. equity markets posted negative returns for the reporting period, though they generally outperformed equities in both developed markets and emerging markets. Global bond markets generally had a lackluster performance in the second half of 2018.

U.S. equity prices were largely supported by strong corporate earnings and revenue, low interest rates and an expanding domestic economy. In August, U.S. equity prices returned to record highs and remained elevated through September. However, share prices fell sharply and market volatility spiked in early October, then prices rebounded slightly in November before plummeting again in December, erasing gains made over the previous five months.

In Europe, equity markets came under pressure from slowing economic growth, political tensions within the European Union (the “EU”) and uncertainty about Britain’s planned exit from the EU. Emerging market equity prices fell as rising U.S. interest rates and signs that U.S.-China trade tariffs were curbing demand from Chinese manufacturers. Notably, emerging market bonds rebounded slightly during the second half of 2018.

Overall, U.S. large cap equity outperformed mid cap and small cap equity and growth stocks outperformed value stocks. Within fixed income, investment grade corporate bonds outperformed high yield bonds (also known as junk bonds) during the reporting period.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUNDS’ PERFORMANCE?

The Class R6 Shares of each Fund, except the SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund, outperformed their respective S&P Target Date Indexes for the six month reporting period.

In terms of Fund selection, the Funds’ lower overall allocation to equity contributed positively to performance relative to each Fund’s S&P Target Date Index performance. Conversely, the Funds’ investments in the JPMorgan Emerging Economies Fund detracted from relative performance. The Funds’ higher strategic allocation to global equity, rather than U.S. equity, also detracted from relative performance.

From a tactical perspective, the Funds’ underweight allocation to European equity helped relative performance, while the Funds’ overweight allocation to U.S. large cap equity detracted from relative performance. Strategic asset allocation involves setting long-term target allocations to various asset classes and periodically rebalancing the portfolio in accordance with those targets. Tactical asset allocation generally involves a more active trading approach and seeks to take advantage of short-to-intermediate term investment opportunities.

HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED?

The Funds primarily invested in underlying J.P. Morgan Funds and third-party exchange-traded funds to implement the asset allocation views of the Funds’ portfolio managers. The Funds’ portfolio managers used a systematic screening and selection process to choose the underlying funds in their construction of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend portfolios. Relative to their respective S&P Target Date indexes, the Funds invested across a broader range of asset classes.

The Funds’ portfolio managers believed that this diversification would help manage market volatility and contribute to the Funds’ long-term risk-adjusted returns. In addition, the portfolio managers sought to invest in asset classes that they believed have had historically lower correlations to the broader fixed income and equity markets. The Funds’ portfolio managers also used futures contracts to help manage cash flows and implement tactical asset allocations.

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 July 2, 2012.

Returns shown for Class R3 and Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R3 Shares have higher expenses than Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares have similar expenses as Class I Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $15,000,000 invested in Class R6 Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund, the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average from July 2, 2012 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P Target Date Retirement Income 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the broad based securities market index, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the

Fund. On June 1, 2017, S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that establishes the broad-based securities market index used by the Fund, changed the methodology used to calculate the S&P Target Date Retirement Indices. The S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index was comprised of exchange traded funds (ETFs), adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., gross return). Effective June 1, 2017, the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index is comprised of underlying indices of securities. Effective May 31, 2017, the prior version of the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index was discontinued. As a result, performance for the S&P Target Date Retirement Income Index prior to June 1, 2017 was linked to an S&P Target Date Retirement Index that was comprised of ETFs and that was not adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., total return). The name of the Fund’s S&P Target Date Retirement Index did not change and there is no change in the Fund’s investment strategies as a result of the change. Investors cannot directly invest in an index. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Today Funds Average is an average based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc.

Class R6 Shares generally have a $15,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund 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 redemptions 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 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 July 2, 2012.

Returns shown for Class R3 and Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R3 Shares have higher expenses than Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares have similar expenses as Class I Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $15,000,000 invested in Class R6 Shares of the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend 2040 Fund, the S&P Target Date 2040 Index and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2040 Funds Index from July 2, 2012 to December 31, 2018. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P Target Date 2040 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 gain distributions of the securities included in the broad based securities market index, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2040 Funds Index includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not

identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. On June 1, 2017, S&P Dow Jones Indices, the company that establishes the broad-based securities market index used by the Fund, changed the methodology used to calculate the S&P Target Date Retirement Indices. The S&P Target Date 2040 Index was comprised of exchange traded funds (ETFs), adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., gross return). Effective June 1, 2017, the S&P Target Date 2040 Index is comprised of underlying indices of securities. Effective May 31, 2017, the prior version of the S&P Target Date 2040 Index was discontinued. As a result, performance for the S&P Target Date 2040 Index prior to June 1, 2017 was linked to an S&P Target Date Retirement Index that was comprised of ETFs and that was not adjusted to remove the impact of ETF fees (i.e., total return). The name of the Fund’s S&P Target Date Retirement Index did not change and there is no change in the Fund’s investment strategies as a result of the change. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2040 Funds Index is an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper, Inc. Investors cannot directly invest in an index.

Class R6 Shares generally have a $15,000,000 minimum initial investment.

Fund 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 redemptions 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 following are 10 separate funds of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

*

On November 16, 2018, Class A and Class C Shares were liquidated.

JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation. The remaining JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Funds each seek high total return with a shift to current income and some capital appreciation over time as each Fund approaches and passes its respective target retirement date.

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 Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares. 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. Beginning on November 14, 2017, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after ten years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, thus, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds’ investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments, as well as certain derivatives with equity reference obligations are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated. Investments in open-end investment companies excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Table of Contents

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.

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 valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

 

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

 

Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments. The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments (“SOIs”):

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

C. Futures Contracts — The Funds used treasury and index futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate and equity price risk associated with portfolio investments. The Funds also bought futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold 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 are settled 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 Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on 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 on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs and cash deposited, which is considered restricted, 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 use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to interest rate and equity price risk. 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 positions.

The Funds’ derivatives contracts held at December 31, 2018 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

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.

The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and 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. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds and ETFs, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

G. Allocation of Income and 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. In calculating the NAV 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.

Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2018 are as follows:

The Funds invest in Underlying Funds and ETFs and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds and ETFs. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statements of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown on the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds and ETFs are waived as described in Note 3.F.

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 (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2018, no liability for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’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 Funds’ Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

I. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly and 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 by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 Investment Advisory Agreements, the Adviser supervises the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets.

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services during the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Administrator received a fee that was accrued daily and paid

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

monthly at an 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 covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, the effective annualized rate was 0.08% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

The Administrator waived Administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets, 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion and 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund’s shares.

The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class I, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class R2        Class R3  
       0.25        0.75        0.50        0.25

In addition, JPMDS 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 six months ended December 31, 2018, JPMDS did not retain any front-end sales charges or CDSC.

D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee, except for Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued 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 I        Class R2        Class R3        Class R4        Class R5  
       0.25        0.25        0.25        0.25        0.25        0.25        0.10

JPMDS 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 JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statements of Operations. Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations. Prior to March 1, 2018, payments to the custodian were reduced by credits earned by each Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately on the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Funds and Underlying Funds and ETFs (excluding dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, extraordinary expenses incurred by the Funds and any Underlying Fund and ETFs and acquired fund fees incurred by an Underlying Fund and ETFs) exceed the percentages of the Funds’ respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

 

        Class A        Class C        Class I        Class R2        Class R3        Class R4        Class R5        Class R6  
       0.79        1.29        0.54        1.04        0.79        0.54        0.39        0.29

The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and are in place until at least October 31, 2019.

The Underlying Funds may impose separate advisory and service fees. To avoid charging a service fee at an effective rate above 0.25% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3 and Class R4 Shares and above 0.10% for Class R5 Shares, JPMDS will waive service fees with respect to the Funds in an amount equal to the weighted average pro-rata amount of service fees charged by the affiliated Underlying Funds. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Funds’ contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Funds’ service fees.

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

The Board 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 on 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 Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

The Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

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.

The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to invest in certain financial instruments in addition to Underlying Funds and securities.

6. Borrowings

The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “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 the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

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 4, 2019.

 

 
98       JPMORGAN SMARTRETIREMENT BLEND FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2018


Table of Contents

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

Interest expense paid as a result of borrowings from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts (“Borrowers”), has entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.

Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 14, 2018, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the Credit Facility at December 31, 2018.

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. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the following Underlying Fund:

 

      % of Net Assets  

JPMorgan Equity Index Fund

     40.6

Because of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds and ETFs, the Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and ETFs. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Funds are also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ investments in securities and financial instruments such as fixed income securities, including high yield, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, equity securities, foreign and emerging markets securities, commodities and real estate securities. These securities are subject to risks specific to their structure, sector or market.

The Funds invest in unaffiliated ETFs. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs may be structured as investment companies, depositary receipts or other pooled investment vehicles and may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indices, as well as indices relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price below or above their NAV (also known as a discount or premium, respectively).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

In addition, the Underlying Funds and ETFs may use derivative instruments in connection with their individual investment strategies including futures, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives, which are also subject to specific risks related to their structure, sector or market and may be riskier than investments in other types of securities.

Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds and ETFs are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.

Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds’ original investment. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”) Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which adds, removes, and modifies certain aspects of the fair value disclosure. ASU 2018-13 amendments are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, to improve the effectiveness of the fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect to the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted their Disclosure Update and Simplification Rule (the “Rule”). The Rule is part of the SEC’s overall project to improve disclosure effectiveness by amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We have evaluated the implications of these changes and the amendments are included in the financial statements, which had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operation.

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 (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, 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 (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2018, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2018.

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 the Period” 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 Funds 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, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. 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 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 committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2018, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information concerning the Funds and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which each Fund may invest (the “Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’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 15, 2018.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Funds and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge/Lipper”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds and/or Underlying Funds as compared to the Funds’ and/or Underlying Funds’ objectives and peer groups. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel

to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.

A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and Underlying Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.

After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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 Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. 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, including personnel changes. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds and Underlying Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to

 

 

 
106       JPMORGAN SMARTRETIREMENT BLEND FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2018


Table of Contents

provide high quality service to the Funds and Underlying Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund and Underlying Fund.

Based upon 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 Adviser.

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

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Funds and Underlying Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds and Underlying Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. 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 upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund and Underlying Fund.

The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds and/or Underlying Funds for providing shareholder and administrative services, respectively. 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 Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services to the Funds and/or Underlying Funds.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its

affiliates as a result of their relationship with the J.P. Morgan Funds including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ investments in the Underlying Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which each Fund was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that each Fund has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow each Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception and that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has added or enhanced services to the Funds over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Funds, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), attraction and retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer

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

Fees Relative to Adviser’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 Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory,

 

 

 
DECEMBER 31, 2018   JPMORGAN SMARTRETIREMENT BLEND FUNDS         107  


Table of Contents

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge/Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge/Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge/Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Peer Group and Universe. The Broadridge/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 Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared by the Trustee’s independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge/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 SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first quintile based upon the Peer Group, and in the second quintile based upon the Universe, for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second quintile based upon the Universe for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2017. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge/Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge/Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge/Lipper reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for each Fund, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional 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’ determinations 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 SmartRetirement Blend Income Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles, respectively, based upon the Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund and that such fees would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory agreement of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.
