EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment is filed by JPMorgan Institutional Trust (the “Registrant”). This Registration Statement has been filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. However, shares of beneficial interest in the Registrant are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), because such shares are issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve a “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The shares have not been registered under any state securities laws in reliance upon various exemptions provided by those laws. Investments in the shares of the Registrant may be made only by “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. This Registration Statement does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any shares of the Registrant.

Part A & B
This filing supplements the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated June 28, 2019, as supplemented September 4, 2019, filed as Amendment No. 40; and incorporates by reference the Confidential Offering Memorandum Supplement dated June 28, 2019, as supplemented September 4, 2019, filed as Amendment No. 40 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A (SEC File No. 811-21638).


JPMORGAN INSTITUTIONAL TRUST

JPMorgan Intermediate Bond Trust

JPMorgan Core Bond Trust

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

Supplement dated September 18, 2019

to the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated June 28, 2019

Effective immediately, the last paragraph of the “Risk/Return Summary – What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?” section for each Fund is hereby deleted and replaced with the following to provide information on how the adviser integrates environmental, social and governance factors into each Fund’s investment process:

The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its security selection process, the adviser also evaluates whether environmental, social and governance factors could have a material negative or positive impact on the cash flows or risk profiles of many companies in the universe in which the Fund may invest. These determinations may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.

In addition, the sixth paragraph of the “More About the Funds – Additional Information About the Funds’ Investment Strategies – Intermediate Bond Trust” section and the fourth paragraph of the “More About the Funds – Additional Information About the Funds’ Investment Strategies – Core Bond Trust” ” section are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
