PRESIDENT’S LETTER

AUGUST 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

It is my great privilege to serve you as President of JPMorgan’s Exchange-Traded Funds, a business dedicated to providing advisors and investors with additional choices for constructing stronger portfolios. We are proud to announce that J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s ETF business has reached an important milestone, surpassing $2 billion in assets under management (AUM) in August 2017, just seven months after we reached $1 billion in AUM. Additionally, we’ve expanded our ETF offering with the launch of two active fixed income ETFs, complementing our existing innovative strategic beta and institutional-quality alternative strategies.

 

LOGO   

 

“We believe our fixed income strategies can help you build a properly diversified portfolio that moderates interest rate risk and delivers risk-adjusted returns.”

During the six months ending August 31, 2017, global financial markets generally provided positive returns. Despite intermittent geo-political tensions, financial market volatility remained near historic lows and investor demand for both equity and fixed-income assets continued to reflect steady global economic growth. Our market strategists foresee further global economic growth and slowly rising interest rates heading into 2018.

Within this environment, we believe our innovative, active fixed income solutions can help you navigate changing markets in the following ways:

Seek to increase your income potential with high yield. Through a rules-based approach to credit selection, JPMorgan

Disciplined High Yield ETF (JPHY) aims to deliver higher risk-adjusted returns than passive indexing options. JPHY provides diversification within a multi-asset portfolio through low correlation to other asset classes.

Broaden the borders of your bond portfolio with JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities ETF (JPGB). Launched on April 5, 2017, the Global Bond Opportunities ETF seeks to deliver total returns by providing exposure across more than 15 fixed income sectors and 50 countries.

Leveraging J.P. Morgan’s Global Liquidity platform, JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (JPST) aims to deliver current income while managing risk. Launched May 17, 2017, JPST seeks an attractive yield while focusing on active credit risk management in an effort to deliver stable returns, even in challenging environments.

We are proud to bring J.P. Morgan’s experience and strong fixed income capabilities to the ETF market place. We are committed to building solutions that address your needs and help you build stronger portfolios. Thank you for your belief in our Firm and our process.

Sincerely,

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        

Net Asset Value*

     3.19%  
Market Price**      3.49%  
BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index      3.08%  
Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index      2.74%

Duration as of 8/31/2017      4.04 years  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Disciplined High Yield ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of income. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-yield securities (also called “junk bonds”). Issuers may be domestic or foreign, but the Fund only invests in U.S. dollar-denominated investments.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

High yield bonds generally outperformed investment grade corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds during the reporting period. Investor demand for high yield bonds was supported by low interest rates and growth in corporate earnings. U.S. companies sold new bonds at a record pace in 2017 — more than $1 trillion combined — in anticipation of U.S. Federal Reserve moves to raise interest rates over the course of the year.

While U.S. financial market volatility remained historically low throughout the reporting period, there was a spike in volatility in early August 2017 amid tension between the U.S. and North Korea.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

For the six months ended August 31, 2017, the Fund posted positive absolute performance and outperformed both the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index (the “Benchmark”) and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.

During the reporting period, bonds rated BB generally outperformed other rated debt and bonds rated CCC underperformed. The Fund’s overweight position in bonds rated BB and its lack of holdings in CCC rated bonds contributed to absolute performance and performance relative to the Benchmark. To maintain sufficient liquidity, the Fund did not invest in bond issues of less than $500 million, which made a positive contribution to absolute and relative performance.

The Fund does not invest in bonds issued by privately held companies, which detracted from absolute performance and performance relative to the Benchmark, as bonds issued by publicly traded companies underperformed bonds issued by privately held companies during the reporting period. To maintain sufficient liquidity, the Fund did not invest in bonds of issuers

that had less than $1 billion in bonds outstanding, which detracted from relative performance.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s managers believe that bonds rated CCC generally have materially higher volatility and default risk than bonds rates BB and B, while providing inadequate incremental return over a market cycle to justify the higher volatility. In addition, the managers believe bonds issued by private companies have had a materially higher probability of default than similarly-rated bonds issued by public companies. Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s largest average overweight allocation was in bonds rated BB and its largest average underweight allocation was in bonds rated CCC.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Exchange-traded funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or 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 1-844-457-6383.

Fund commenced operations on September 14, 2016.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in shares of the JPMorgan Disciplined High Yield ETF, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index from September 14, 2016 to August 31, 2017. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Index and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with an exchange-traded fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the Index, if applicable. The BofA Merrill

Lynch U.S. High Yield Index is an unmanaged index, which measures the performance of U.S. dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The Bloomberg Barclays US 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. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund performance reflects the partial 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 may pay on Fund distributions or redemption or sale 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 8/31/2017    $ 107,379,224  
Duration as of 8/31/2017      2.88 years  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide total return.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund invests in bond and currency sectors across developed and emerging markets without benchmark constraints. The Fund is flexible and opportunistic and the Fund’s adviser has broad discretion to shift the Fund’s exposures to strategies, sectors, countries or currencies based on changing market conditions and its view of the best mix of investment opportunities.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

During the reporting period, emerging market bonds generally outperformed bonds issued by the U.S. and other developed market nations amid investor expectations for global economic growth and rising interest rates. In the U.S., high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) continued to outperform investment grade corporate debt and U.S. Treasury bonds. While U.S. financial market volatility remained historically low throughout the reporting period, there was a brief spike in early August 2017 amid tension between the U.S. and North Korea.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

For the period April 5, 2017 to August 31, 2017, the Fund posted a return of 2.46%. The Fund has an absolute return orientation and is not managed relative to a benchmark index. While the Fund is not managed to a benchmark, its return is compared to the Bloomberg Barclays Multiverse Index, which returned 5.25% for the reporting period.

The Fund’s allocations to high yield bonds, investment grade corporate bonds and emerging markets debt were leading contributors to absolute performance. High yield bonds generally benefitted from investor demand for yield growth during the reporting period. The Fund’s allocation to securitized debt also contributed to absolute performance. The Fund’s allocation to government debt securities detracted from absolute performance during the reporting period.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the reporting period, the Fund invested opportunistically across different markets and sectors. The Fund’s managers applied a flexible investment approach and did not manage to a benchmark. This allowed the Fund to shift its allocations based on changing market conditions. The Fund had exposure to a broad range of asset classes during the reporting period,

including high yield and investment grade corporate bonds, agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, emerging markets debt, convertible bonds and foreign government securities. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s largest allocations were to U.S. high yield bonds and investment grade corporate bonds and its smallest allocations were to agency mortgage-backed securities and non-agency mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities.

Net Assets as of 8/31/2017    $ 45,040,387  
Duration as of 8/31/2017      0.48 years  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide current income while seeking to maintain a low volatility of principal.

INVESTMENT APPROACH

The Fund primarily invests mainly in investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated fixed, variable and floating-rate debt. The Fund seeks to maintain a duration of one year or less, although under certain market conditions, the Fund’s duration may be longer than one year. The Fund’s adviser has broad discretion to shift the Fund’s exposure to strategies and sectors based on changing market conditions and its view of the best mix of investment opportunities.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

For the period May 17, 2017 to August 31, 2017, the Fund posted a positive absolute performance. While the Fund is not managed to a benchmark, its return is compared to the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury U.S. Bill Index (the “Index”). While the Fund held no U.S. Treasury securities during the reporting period, the Index holds only U.S. Treasuries. The Fund outperformed the Index during the reporting period.

The Fund’s allocations to investment grade corporate bonds and money market securities were leading contributors to both absolute performance and performance relative to the Index during the reporting period. The Fund’s allocations to collateralized loan obligations, asset backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities also contributed to absolute and relative performance.

While the Fund’s overall longer duration relative to the Index was a modest detractor from relative performance, the enhanced yield from longer-dated securities helped absolute performance. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, bonds with longer duration will experience a larger increase or decrease in price as interest rates fall or rise, respectively, versus bonds with shorter duration.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During reporting period, the portfolio management team believed that interest rates would continue to move higher at a

slow pace, allowing the favorable fundamental and technical picture for corporate credit to persist. As such, the portfolio was positioned with an overall average duration of 0.50 years. In descending order, the Fund’s largest allocations were in corporate bonds, money market securities, collateralized loan obligations, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AUGUST 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on February 25, 2010, and is governed by a Declaration of Trust as amended and restated February 19, 2014, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-ended management investment company.

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

 

      Diversified/Non-Diversified

JPMorgan Disciplined High Yield ETF

   Diversified

JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities ETF

   Diversified

JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF

   Diversified

JPMorgan Disciplined High Yield ETF (the “Disciplined High Yield ETF”) commenced operations on September 14, 2016. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide a high level of income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities ETF (the “Global Bond Opportunities ETF) commenced operations on April 5, 2017. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide total returns.

JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (the “Ultra-Short Income” ETF) commenced operations on May 17, 2017. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide current income while seeking to maintain a low volatility of principal.

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

Shares of each Fund are listed and traded on the Bats BZX Exchange, Inc. Market prices for the Funds’ shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds issue and redeem their shares on a continuous basis, through SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”), at NAV in large blocks of shares, typically 100,000 shares for all funds, except for the Ultra-Short Income ETF which trades in blocks of 50,000 shares, referred to as “Creation Units.” The Funds may elect creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. Shares are generally traded in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only individuals or institutions that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the Distributor may do business directly with the Funds (each, an “Authorized Participant”).

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, accordingly, 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 the 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 the 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 the 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 such unadjusted quoted prices, 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 Investment 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.

Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved 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.

Investments in mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Funds’ NAV per share as of the report date.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.

 

 
42       JPMORGAN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS   AUGUST 31, 2017


 

Futures 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 table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments:

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 default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the discount rate or 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 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 (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 August 31, 2017, none of the Funds had investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. Repurchase Agreements — The Funds may enter into repurchase agreement transactions that meet the credit guidelines of JPMIM, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan. Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The Funds require that the collateral received in a repurchase agreement transaction be transferred to a custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the Funds to obtain collateral in the event of a counterparty default. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited. Repurchase agreement collateral may be held in segregated accounts maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan.

The Funds’ repurchase agreements are not subject to master netting arrangements.

D. Derivatives — The Global Bond Opportunities ETF is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The 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 the counterparty (i.e., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both the counterparty and the Fund often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor the counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund. The ISDA agreements give the Fund and 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.

(1). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Global Bond Opportunities ETF may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Fund also bought forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in 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 foreign currency contracts.

(2). Futures Contracts — The Global Bond Opportunities ETF used interest rate futures to obtain long and short exposure to the underlying interest rate markets. The purchase of futures contracts will tend to increase a Fund’s exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument. The sale of futures contracts will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes.

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 in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

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).

(a) For the period from April 5, 2017 through August 31, 2017.

The Fund’s derivatives contracts held at August 31, 2017 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 the foreign exchange rates from changes in the market prices of 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 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 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 year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF AUGUST 31, 2017 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

G. Offering and Organizational Costs – Total offering costs incurred in connection with the offering of shares of the Funds are amortized on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date the Fund commenced operations. Costs paid in connection with the organization of the Trust, if any, were recorded as an expense at the time it commenced operations. Approximate total offering costs incurred by the Funds were as follows:

 

Disciplined High Yield ETF

     $ 38,245  

Global Bond Opportunities ETF

       75,096  

Ultra-Short Income ETF

       22,938  

H. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method 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.

I. Allocation of Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to the Funds are charged directly to the Funds, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds.

J. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of August 31, 2017, 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, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

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

L. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by the Funds 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 the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser supervises the investments of each Fund and 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:

 

Disciplined High Yield ETF

       0.30

Global Bond Opportunities ETF

       0.55

Ultra-Short Income ETF

       0.15

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

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Funds. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an effective annual rate of 0.085% of the average daily net assets of each Fund in the Trust covered by the Administration Agreement.

The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.D.

C. Custodian and Transfer Agent Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and transfer agency services to the Funds. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody services are included in the Custodian and Transfer Agent fees on the Statements of Operations. With respect to the transfer agency services provided by JPMCB for each creation or redemption transaction, the Authorized Participant will generally be responsible for such associated expenses; during the period, the Funds paid no transfer agency fees to JPMCB.

Additionally, Authorized Participants generally pay transaction fees associated with the creation and redemption of Fund shares. These fees are used to offset certain custodian charges incurred by the Fund for these transactions.

For the period ended August 31, 2017, the amount of transaction fees paid by the Authorized Participants that were used to reimburse custodian fees were as follows:

 

Disciplined High Yield ETF

     $ 200  

Global Bond Opportunities ETF

       4,400  

Ultra-Short Income ETF

       200  

 

 
50       JPMORGAN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS   AUGUST 31, 2017


 

Such amounts are included in expense reimbursements from non-affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

Restricted cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities is cash received from Authorized Participants for the reimbursement of creation and/or redemption of Fund shares.

Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included as interest income from affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to overdrafts, if any, is included in interest expense to affiliates in the Statements of Operations.

D. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expenses related to short sales (if applicable), interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentage of the Funds’ average daily net assets as shown in the below table:

 

        Expense Cap  

Disciplined High Yield ETF

       0.40

Global Bond Opportunities ETF

       0.55

Ultra-Short Income ETF

       0.18

The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the period ended August 31, 2017.

The amounts of the waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds as of August 31, 2017 were as follows:

 

Disciplined High Yield ETF

     $ 461  

Global Bond Opportunities ETF

       3,913  

Ultra-Short Income ETF

E. Related Party Transactions — The Distributor or its agent distributes Creation Units for each Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Fund. The Distributor has no role in determining the investment policies of the Fund or the securities that are purchased or sold by the Fund. The Distributor receives no fee for its distribution services under the Distribution Agreement. Although the Distributor does not receive any fees under the Distribution Agreement with the Trust, JPMIM pays the Distributor for certain distribution related services.

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

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, make 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 Funds may use related party broker-dealers. For the period ended August 31, 2017, the Funds incurred no brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser or Trust.

6. Capital Share Transactions

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Funds only in Creation Units through the Distributor at NAV. Capital shares transactions detail can be found in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”); or (2) a “DTC Participant”; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor.

Creation Units of a Fund may be created in advance of receipt by the Trust of all or a portion of the applicable basket of securities and other instruments (“Deposit Instruments”) and cash as described in the Funds’ registration statement. In these instances, the initial Deposit Instruments and cash must be deposited in an amount equal to the sum of the cash amount, plus at least 105% of the market value of undelivered Deposit Instruments. A transaction fee may be imposed to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or redemption of Creation Units.

Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares purchased” or “Proceeds from shares issued” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

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

As of August 31, 2017, the Adviser owned more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following Funds:

 

        % Ownership  

Disciplined High Yield ETF

       80

Global Bond Opportunities ETF

       93

Ultra-Short Income ETF

       55

 

 
52       JPMORGAN EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS   AUGUST 31, 2017


 

Significant transactions by the Adviser may impact the Funds’ performance.

Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to the NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund’s holdings. During such periods, investors may incur significant losses if shares are sold.

The Disciplined High Yield ETF invests in high yield securities that are not rated or rated below investment grade (commonly known as “junk bonds”). These securities are considered to be high risk investments. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims. The market price of these securities can change suddenly and unexpectedly. As a result, the Fund is intended for investors who are able and willing to assume a high degree of risk.

The Disciplined High Yield ETF may invest up to 100% of the its total assets in below investment grade securities or unrated securities that JPMIM deems to be of equivalent quality. Such securities may include so called “distressed debt”.

The Funds are subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Funds could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. Given the historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. 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.

8. Investment Company Reporting Modernization

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The amendments to Regulation S-X were applied to the Funds’ financial statements as of August 31, 2017. The adoption had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.

9. Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2017, the following changes became effective:

JPMCB became the sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”) to the Funds. For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

JPMCB became fund accounting agent to the Funds.

JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, replaced SEI Investment Distribution Co. as distributor to the Funds.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, investment advisory fees, administration fees and other Fund expenses, in addition to brokerage commissions on your purchases and sales of Fund shares. 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 funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment at the beginning of the reporting period, March 1, 2017 and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, August 31, 2017.

Actual Expenses

For 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 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 in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other Funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested. The examples do not take into account brokerage commissions that you pay when purchasing or selling shares of a Fund.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INITIAL INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

On June 7-8, 2016, the Board of the Trust, a statutory Trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, held an in-person meeting and approved the initial Investment Advisory Agreements, each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements,” for the JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities ETF and JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). The approvals included the approval of a majority of Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or the Adviser. Such Trustees are considered Independent Trustees as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940. In connection with the approval of each Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed written materials prepared by the Adviser and received oral presentations from Adviser personnel. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel to the Trustees and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Each Trustee attributed his or her own evaluation of significance to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees determined that the proposed compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Funds under the Advisory Agreements was fair and reasonable and that initial approval of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of the Funds and their potential shareholders.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

In connection with the approval of the initial Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the materials furnished specifically in connection with the approval of the Advisory Agreements, as well as other relevant information furnished for the Trustees. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and 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. The Trustees also considered the investment strategy for the Funds, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams. In addition, the Trustees considered information about the structure and distribution strategy of the Funds, how they fit within the Trust’s fund offerings, and how they will be positioned against other funds.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Trust and in the financial industry generally. 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 requests for additional information, questions or concerns raised by them.

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 to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser.

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 Trust.

The Trustees also considered the fees that J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., in its role as Administrator, will earn from the Fund for providing administrative services. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, transfer agency and other related services. Additionally, the Trustees considered that any fall-out or ancillary benefits would be comparable to those related to the other funds in the complex.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund will benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees noted that neither the proposed investment advisory fee schedule nor the proposed administration agreement for the Funds contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund 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. With respect to fees for administrative services, the Trustees also considered the fact that the Funds would benefit from the economies of scale present in the broader J.P. Morgan fund complex, as the Funds were able to negotiate a similar administration fee to that currently paid by the J.P. Morgan mutual funds, which includes breakpoints. The Trustees also took into consideration management’s belief that because of such economies of scale, the Funds’ administration fee is lower than what the Funds would have to pay if they were not a part of the J.P. Morgan fund complex.

Investment Performance

The Trustees considered each Fund’s investment strategy and processes, the portfolio management team and competitive positioning against identified peer funds, and concluded that the prospects for competitive future performance were acceptable.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INITIAL INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

 

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate that will be paid by the Funds to the Adviser and compared that rate to the fees charged to mutual funds with similar investment objectives or in similar asset classes managed by the Adviser, as well as information prepared by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc., independent providers of investment company data, concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as each Fund. The Trustees also reviewed information about other projected expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund. The Trustees considered the projected fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement

arrangements proposed for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any projected waivers and/or reimbursements.

The Trustees noted that each Fund’s estimated net advisory fees and total expenses were in line with identified peer funds. The Trustees also noted that because the Funds were not yet operational, no profitability information was available. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable.
