LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

The year ahead holds the potential for a strong recovery in the global economy thanks to the massive efforts of central banks and governments and the development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19. While significant economic and health care challenges remain ahead, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors who remained fully invested over the second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.”

— Andrea L. Lisher

The second half of 2020 was notable for an accelerating rebound in equity markets from the steep sell-off in the first quarter of the year when the pandemic was first declared by the World Health Organization. Positive news about clinical trials of new vaccines, followed by the first approvals of those vaccines in November 2020, bolstered investor expectations that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. As overall demand for equities increased in the final half of 2020, investors began to turn their focus from companies that could endure the pandemic to those that could benefit from a potential recovery in local, national and international economies. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the S&P 500 Index generated a total return of 22.16%.

Investors who remained fully invested over the second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.

The implementation of mass vaccinations on the national and global scales is not without challenges and the rebuilding of economies at all levels is likely to depend on how successfully the pandemic is fought. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to successfully navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Overall, the second half of 2020 was marked by U.S. equity market gains in the final months of the year amid the rollout of multiple vaccines against Covid-19, followed by the eventual approval of $900 billion in federal pandemic relief that was signed into law on December 27, 2020.

Globally, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity at the start of the period. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for the S&P 500 Index in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.

Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 Index in the final week of October.

U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 Index reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.

Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the reopening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 Index made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Russell 2000 Index returned 37.9%, the Russell Mid Cap Index returned 28.9% and the Russell 1000 Index returned 24.5%. The S&P 500 Index posted a total return of 22.16%.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      35.16%  
Russell 2000 Index      37.85%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 764,985  

 

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, underperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and materials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care and information technology sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Plug Power Inc. and Penn National Gaming Inc. and its out-of-Benchmark position in Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings Inc. Shares of Plug Power, a developer of hydrogen fuel cell systems that was not held in the Fund, rose after reporting better-than-expected results for the third quarter amid increased industry adoption of fuel cell technology. Shares of Penn National Gaming, a provider of online betting and casino games, rose after voters in several U.S. states approved expanded sports betting and other gambling operations in the November 3, 2020 elections. Shares of Ollie’s Bargain Outlets Holdings, a discount retailer, fell as investors sold the stock after a run-up in the company’s share price during the early part of the reporting period.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Enphase Energy Inc. and Farfetch Ltd. and its overweight position in Twist Bioscience Corp. Shares of Enphase Energy, a provider of systems to the solar energy sector, rose amid better-than-expected earnings and investor expectations that the incoming Biden administration would seek increased investment in renewable energy. Shares of Farfetch, a U.K. online platform for luxury fashion retailers, rose amid consumer migration to online purchases. Shares of Twist Bioscience, a developer of synthetic DNA manufacturing processes, rose amid investor expectations for increased demand for the company’s technology in the fight against Covid-19 and its variants.

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 companies that are attractively valued and stocks that have a history of growth. 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. The Fund is positioned 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 date 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 and the Russell 2000 Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 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. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

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 outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and financials sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in Immunomedics Inc. and its overweight positions in Renewable Energy Group Inc. and Owens & Minor Inc. Shares of Immunomedics, a drug development company, rose ahead of its acquisition by Gilead Sciences Inc. for $21 billion. Shares of Renewable Energy Group, a biofuels manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected revenues and amid investor expectations for increased government investment in renewable energy. Shares of Owens & Minor, a surgical products manufacturer, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for the full year 2020.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in Argan Inc. and its underweight positions in Plug Power Inc. and MyoKardia Inc. Shares of Argan, a power plant builder, fell late in the period following a run-up in the stock after reporting better-than-expected results for the first quarter of 2020 and the company’s announcement of a special dividend to shareholders. Shares of Plug Power, a developer of hydrogen fuel cell systems that was not held in the Fund, rose after reporting better-than-expected results for the third quarter amid increased industry adoption of fuel cell technology. Shares of MyoKardia, a drug development company not held in the Fund, rose ahead of Bristol Myers Squibb Co.’s planned $13.1 billion acquisition of the company.

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.

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, underperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials and real estate sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings Inc., its out-of-Benchmark position in Thor Industries Inc. and its underweight position in Plug Power Inc. Shares of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, a discount supermarket chain, underperformed the broader market after a run-up in the stock early in the reporting period driven by earnings growth. Shares of Thor Industries, a manufacturer of recreational vehicles, fell following a run-up in the stock in the first half of 2020. Shares of Plug Power, a developer of hydrogen fuel cell systems that was not held in the Fund, rose after reporting better-than-expected results for the third quarter amid increased industry adoption of fuel cell technology.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Generac Holdings Inc. and Eaton Vance Corp. and its overweight position in WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. Shares of Generac Holdings, a manufacturer of power generators, rose amid increased consumer demand for residential back-up electricity generators. Shares of Eaton Vance, an investment services provider, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Morgan Stanley for about $7 billion. Shares of WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings, a provider of storage and related services, rose amid commercial demand for storage due to the pandemic.

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 similar to those shown because Class R3 Shares have similar expenses to 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 and the Russell 2000 Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 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. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

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, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the health care sector and its security selection and overweight position in the information technology sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrials sector was a sole sector detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Enphase Energy Inc. and Farfetch Ltd. and its overweight position in Twist Bioscience Corp. Shares of Enphase Energy, a provider of systems to the solar energy sector, rose amid better-than-expected earnings and investor expectations that the incoming Biden administration would seek increased investment in renewable energy. Shares of Farfetch, a U.K. online platform for luxury fashion retailers, rose amid consumer migration to online purchases. Shares of Twist Bioscience, a developer of synthetic DNA manufacturing processes, rose amid investor expectations for increased demand for the company’s technology in the fight against Covid-19 and its variants.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Plug Power Inc. and its out-of-Benchmark positions in ADC Therapeutics SA and Ollie’s Bargain Outlet Holdings Inc. Shares of Plug Power, a developer of hydrogen fuel cell systems that was not held in the Fund, rose after reporting better-than-expected results for the third quarter amid increased industry adoption of fuel cell technology. Shares of ADC Therapeutics, a Swiss drug development company, fell following a run-up in the share price at the company’s initial public offering in May 2020. Shares of Ollie’s Bargain Outlets Holdings, a discount retailer, fell after a run-up in the company’s share price earlier in the year.

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, 2020.

The Fund’s security selection and underweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and its security selection in the industrials sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care and communication services sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Now Inc. and Eastman Kodak Co., and its underweight position in Brookfield Renewable Corp. Shares of Now, a distributor of products and service to the energy sector, fell after the company reported a loss and lower-than-expected revenue for the second quarter of 2020. Shares of Eastman Kodak, a provider of printing and imaging products and services, fell after the company reported consecutive quarters of per-share losses as well as a decline in revenue and negative cash flow for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of Brookfield Renewable, an operator of hydroelectric, wind and solar power plants that was not held in the Fund, rose amid investor expectations for increased government investment in renewable energy projects in the U.S. and Europe.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Owens & Minor Inc., SunPower Corp. and Gogo Inc. Shares of Owens & Minor, a surgical products manufacturer, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for the full year 2020. Shares of SunPower, a provider of solar energy equipment and services, rose amid investor expectations for increased government investment in renewable energy projects in the U.S. and Europe. Shares of Gogo, a provider of in-flight broadband services to the aviation industry, rose after the company announced it would sell its commercial aviation business to Intelsat SA for $400 million.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

In accordance 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 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 SMID Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with intermediate capitalizations.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

The Fund implemented a new investment process effective November 1, 2020, and no longer uses an investment process based on behavioral finance principals. The new process employs a fundamental bottom-up investment process to invest in a diversified portfolio of small to mid-cap stocks — similar to those in the Russell 2500 Index — and seeks to invest in companies with leading competitive advantages, predictable and durable business models and sustainable free cash flows.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell 2500 Index (the “Benchmark”) and the Russell Midcap Index for the six months ended December 31, 2020. As a result of the change in investment strategy and process, the turnover of securities held in the Fund during the period was high compared with previous reporting periods, on an annualized basis, but did not have a significant impact on performance.

Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s security selection in the industrials and health care sectors was a leading detractor from performance, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials sector was the sole sector contributor to performance.

Leading individual detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Centene Corp. and Waste Connections Inc., and its overweight position in Pool Corp. Shares of Centene, a provider of managed health care plans, fell after the company provided a lower-than-expected earnings forecast for its fiscal year 2021. Shares of Waste Connections, a waste collection, transport and recycling company, underperformed the broader market following a run-up in its stock price driven by better-than-expected quarterly earnings. Shares of Pool, a provider of swimming pools and related products, underperformed the market following a run-up in its stock price earlier in 2020.

Leading individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in

Unity Software Inc. and its overweight positions in Timken Co. and Wex Inc. Shares of Unity Software, a provider of software for video content development, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its first quarter following the company’s initial public offering in September 2020. Shares of Timken, a maker of industrial machinery and equipment, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2020 and increased its quarterly dividend. Shares of Wex, a provider of payment processing systems, rose amid investor expectations that the company would benefit from pent-up demand during potential economic recovery in 2021.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employ a fundamental bottom-up investment process that seeks to invest in companies that they believe are undervalued and have leading competitive positions and predictable and durable business models. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest allocations during the period were to the information technology and industrials sectors and the smallest allocations were to the energy and communications services 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.

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 similar to those shown because Class R3 Shares have similar expenses to those of Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R4 and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown for Class I Shares because Class R4 Shares have similar expenses to Class I Shares. The actual returns for 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 SMID Cap Equity Fund, the Russell Midcap Index and the Russell 2500 Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 Index and the Russell 2500 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 Russell

Midcap Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies of the Russell 1000 Index. The Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the 2,500 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

Effective November 1, 2020, the Fund changed its investment strategies. The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the Fund were managed using the current strategies. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Also on November 1, 2020, the Fund’s Benchmark changed from Russell Midcap Index to Russell 2500 Index because the adviser believes that the Russell 2500 Index is a more appropriate comparison in light of the Fund’s new name and investment strategies.

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

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

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class L Shares)*      37.91%  
Russell 2000 Index      37.85%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 986,894  

 

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 outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and communication services sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrials and financials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Seres Therapeutics Inc., Owens & Minor Inc. and MyoKardia Inc. Shares of Seres Therapeutics, a drug development company, rose after the company reported positive results from its Phase 3 clinical trial of its treatment for Clostridium difficile infection. Shares of Owens & Minor, a surgical products manufacturer, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for the full year 2020. Shares of MyoKardia, a drug development company, rose ahead of Bristol Myers Squibb Co.’s planned $13.1 billion acquisition of the company.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Plug Power Inc. and its overweight positions in Now Inc. and Tri Pointe Group Inc. Shares of Plug Power, a developer of hydrogen fuel cell systems that was not held in the Fund, rose after reporting better-than-expected results for the third quarter amid increased industry adoption of fuel cell technology. Shares of Now, a distributor of products and services to the energy sector, fell after the company reported a loss and lower-than-expected revenue for the second quarter of 2020. Shares of Tri Pointe Group, a home builder, underperformed the broader markets after a pullback in a key measure of U.S. consumer home buying sentiment.

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 performance relative to 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.

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

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 of Small Cap Growth Fund and U.S. Small Company Fund are publicly offered on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase Class L Shares of the Funds unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Funds’ prospectuses.

All share classes of Small Cap Equity Fund are publicly offered on a limited basis.

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, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (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.

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/or 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 the use of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for 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, excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (“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. Securities Lending — The Funds are 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 Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class 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.

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), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

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.

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. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):

The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Funds 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 tables below. Amounts in the tables below are in thousands.

D. Futures Contracts — Small Cap Core Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, SMID Cap Equity Fund and U.S. Small Company Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also purchased 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 futures contracts 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, while 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 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).

For the period July 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020.

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. Dividend income 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 applicable funds. 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 share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

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, 2020, no liability for Federal 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 Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain 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, 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.

I. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

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 Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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 1, 2021.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“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%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, 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 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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, 2020, the following Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance and liquidity.

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. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Funds to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. 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. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Funds to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Funds to losses.

Because the Small Cap Value Fund may invest a significant portion of their assets in real estate investment trusts (“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.

The Funds invest in companies with relatively small market capitalizations. Investments in companies with relatively small market capitalizations may involve greater risk than is usually associated with stocks of larger companies. These securities may have limited marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic movements in price than securities of companies with larger capitalizations.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is

 

 
112         J.P. MORGAN SMALL CAP FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2020

possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of a Fund and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

8. Subsequent Events

On February 10, 2021, the Board of Trustees of JPM I approved the following changes for Small Cap Core Fund, which are expected to become effective on or about May 1, 2021: (i) a change to the Fund’s name to JPMorgan Small Cap Sustainable Leaders Fund; (ii) a change to the Fund’s investment strategy so that the Fund will invest in companies that, on a combined basis, appear attractive when considering the adviser’s sustainability criteria and financial characteristics; (iii) a change to the Fund’s 80% investment policy so that, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of small cap companies meeting the adviser’s sustainability criteria; and (iv) the contractual expense limitations for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares will be reduced to 1.14%, 1.64%, 0.89%, 1.39%, 1.14%, 0.89%, 0.70% and 0.65%, respectively, and will be in place until at least April 30, 2023.

Effective as of the close of business on February 5, 2021, Small Cap Growth Fund is offered 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.

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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.

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 titled “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 June and August 2020, 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”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.

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, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds, as well as a risk/return assessment of certain 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 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, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. 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 administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of 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, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, 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 administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). 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 considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. 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. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with expense caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential

economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

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, Small Cap Value Fund, and SMID Cap 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 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, collective investment trusts, ETFs 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, as applicable, 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. 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 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’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 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 third, first and first quintiles based upon the Universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, first and first quintiles based upon the Universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile based upon the Universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2019. 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 Core Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second quintile based upon the Peer Group for both the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2020, and in the third and second quintiles based upon the Universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R5 shares was in the second quintile based upon the Peer Group, for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, and in the third, second and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019,

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 concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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 and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, 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 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 for Class I shares were 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. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 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 Small Cap Core 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 for Class R5 shares was in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R5 shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6

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 Small Cap Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, 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 first and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the second and first 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 Growth 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 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 second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses were in the first and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

The year ahead holds the potential for a strong recovery in the global economy thanks to the massive efforts of central banks and governments and the development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19. While significant economic and health care challenges remain ahead, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.

 

LOGO   

 

“Investors who remained fully invested over the second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.”

— Andrea L. Lisher

The second half of 2020 was notable for an accelerating rebound in equity markets from the steep sell-off in the first quarter of the year when the pandemic was first declared by the World Health Organization. Positive news about clinical trials of new vaccines, followed by the first approvals of those vaccines in November 2020, bolstered investor expectations that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. As overall demand for equities increased in the final half of 2020, investors began to turn their focus from companies that could endure the pandemic to those that could benefit from a potential recovery in local, national and international economies. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the S&P 500 Index generated a total return of 22.16%.

Investors who remained fully invested over the second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.

The implementation of mass vaccinations on the national and global scales is not without challenges and the rebuilding of economies at all levels is likely to depend on how successfully the pandemic is fought. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to successfully navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Overall, the second half of 2020 was marked by U.S. equity market gains in the final months of the year amid the rollout of multiple vaccines against Covid-19, followed by the eventual approval of $900 billion in federal pandemic relief that was signed into law on December 27, 2020.

Globally, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity at the start of the period. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for the S&P 500 Index in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.

Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 Index in the final week of October.

U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 Index reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.

Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the reopening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 Index made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Russell 2000 Index returned 37.9%, the Russell Mid Cap Index returned 28.9% and the Russell 1000 Index returned 24.5%. The S&P 500 Index posted a total return of 22.16%.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      32.21%  
Russell 3000 Growth Index      26.86%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 14,286,136  

 

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, outperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the information technology sector and its security selection and overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care and communication services sector was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Tesla Inc., Enphase Energy Inc. and Trade Desk Inc. Shares of Tesla, a producer of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, rose after the company was included in the S&P 500 Index. Shares of Enphase Energy, a provider of systems to the solar energy sector, rose amid better-than-expected earnings and investor expectations that the incoming Biden administration would seek increased investment in renewable energy. Shares of Trade Desk, a provider of an online platform for buyers of advertising, rose after reporting better-than-expected earnings amid increased adoption of the company’s technology by the world’s largest advertisers.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Apple Inc. and its overweight positions in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Splunk Inc. Shares of Apple, an information technology conglomerate, rose amid general investor demand for large capitalization stocks, better-than-expected quarterly earnings and investor expectations for the company’s planned 5G smartphone. Shares of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a drug development company, fell as the U.S. approval of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 reduced demand for alternative therapies for the virus. Shares of Splunk, a software developer, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter and lowered its fiscal fourth quarter forecast

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 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 different to those shown because Class R4 Shares have different expenses to 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 and the Russell 3000 Growth Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 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. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

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 underperformed the Russell Midcap Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology sector and its underweight position in the consumer staples sector were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in Splunk Inc. and its underweight positions in Freeport-McMoRan Inc. and Align Technology Inc. Shares of Splunk, a software developer, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected results for its fiscal third quarter and lowered its fiscal fourth-quarter forecast. Shares of Freeport-McMoRan, a mining company, rose amid investor expectations for accelerating global demand for copper and after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of Align Technologies, a manufacturer of orthodontics and dentistry products, rose amid continued growth in sales of its Invisalign product.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Enphase Energy Inc., Trade Desk Inc. and Generac Holdings Inc. Shares of Enphase Energy, a provider of systems to the solar energy sector, rose amid better-than-expected earnings and investor expectations that the incoming Biden administration would seek increased investment in renewable energy. Shares of Trade Desk, a provider of an online platform for buyers of advertising, rose after reporting better-than-expected earnings amid increased adoption of the company’s technology by the world’s largest advertisers. Shares of Generac Holdings, a manufacturer of power generators, rose amid increased consumer demand for residential back-up electricity generators.

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.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in the Class I Shares of JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund and the Russell Midcap Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 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 bench mark, if applicable. The Russell Midcap Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      32.61%

Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 7,795,164  

 

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 outperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the information technology sector and its underweight position in the consumer staples sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care and communication services sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Enphase Energy Inc., Trade Desk Inc. and Generac Holdings Inc. Shares of Enphase Energy, a provider of systems to the solar energy sector, rose amid better-than-expected earnings and investor expectations that the incoming Biden administration would seek increased investment in renewable energy. Shares of Trade Desk, a provider of an online platform for buyers of advertising, rose after reporting better-than-expected earnings amid increased adoption of the company’s technology by the world’s largest advertisers. Shares of Generac Holdings, a manufacturer of power generators, rose amid increased consumer demand for residential back-up electricity generators.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Align Technology Inc., Immunogen Inc. and Roku Inc. Shares of Align Technologies, a manufacturer of orthodontics and dentistry products that was not held in the Fund, rose amid continued growth in sales of its Invisalign product. Shares of Immunogen, a drug development company not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of Roku, a digital entertainment streaming platform provider, rose on increased for consumer demand for at-home entertainment amid the pandemic.

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.

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 underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. 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 overweight position in the financials sector and its security selection in the real estate sector were contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in AutoZone Inc. and AmerisourceBergen Corp. and its underweight position in Freeport-McMoRan Inc. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, underperformed the broader market after the company reported lower-than-expected sales for its fiscal first quarter. Shares of AmerisourceBergen, a drug and health care products distributor, fell along with those of its sector peers after Amazon.com Inc. unveiled plans to launch a pharmacy services business. Shares of Freeport-McMoRan, a mining company, rose amid investor expectations for accelerating global demand for copper and after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2020.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Middleby Corp., Universal Health Services Inc. and Kohl’s Corp. Shares of Middleby, a food service equipment manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of Universal Health Services, an operator of hospitals and health care centers, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of Kohl’s, a department store chain, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2020.

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.

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, 2020. The Fund’s underweight position in the industrials sector and its overweight position in the energy sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s overweight position and security selection in the financials sector and its security selection in the information technology sector were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Walt Disney Co. and its overweight positions in AutoZone Inc. and Energizer Holdings Inc. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, underperformed the broader market after the company reported lower-than-expected sales for its fiscal first quarter. Shares of Energizer Holdings, a batteries and lighting manufacturer, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and cash flow for its fiscal fourth quarter.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Intel Corp. and AT&T Inc. and its overweight position in Capital One Financial Corp. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer, fell after news reports that large technology companies would develop their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources. Shares of AT&T, a telecommunications and entertainment provider, fell amid investor concerns about the company’s planned auction of its DirectTV unit. Shares of Capital One Financial, a banking and financial services company, rose amid improvement in its credit card business during 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.

The Russell 3000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies (largest 3000 U.S. companies) with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (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.

J.P. Morgan Mutual Fund Investment Trust (“JPMMFIT”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 23, 1997, as an open-end management investment company.

J.P. Morgan Fleming Mutual Fund Group, Inc. (“JPMFMFG,” and with JPM I, JPM II and JPMMFIT, collectively, the “Trusts”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 19, 1997, as an open-end management investment company.

The following are 5 separate funds of the Trusts (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Trust    Diversification Classification
JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6    JPMMFIT    Diversified
JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6    JPM I    Diversified
JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6    JPM II    Diversified
JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6    JPMFMFG    Diversified
JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6    JPM I    Diversified

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.

Class L Shares of Mid Cap Value and Value Advantage Fund are publicly offered on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase Class L Shares of the Funds unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Funds’ 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. Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted 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, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (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

 

 
62         J.P. MORGAN MID CAP/MULTI-CAP FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2020


Table of Contents

 

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/or 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 the use of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for 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 (“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 — The Funds are 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 Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class 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.

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), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

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.

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. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of December 31, 2020 (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.

JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):

   $ 10  

Mid Cap Equity Fund

     1  

Mid Cap Growth Fund

The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Funds 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 tables below. Amounts in the tables below are in thousands.

Table of Contents

 

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. Dividend income 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.

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 applicable funds. 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 share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

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, 2020, no liability for Federal 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 Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain 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 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.

H. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Growth Advantage Fund

     0.55

Mid Cap Equity Fund

     0.65  

Mid Cap Growth Fund

     0.65  

Mid Cap Value Fund

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 each Fund. In consideration of these services, 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, plus 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the effective annualized rate was 0.07% 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.

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 each Fund’s 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, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class L, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares of the Funds do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, 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

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (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, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were 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 designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with 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, 2020, the Funds purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were 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 Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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 1, 2021.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“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%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, 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 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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, 2020, the following Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance and liquidity.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of a Fund and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a

significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

8. Redemptions in-kind

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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.

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 titled “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 June and August 2020, 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”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.

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, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds, as well as risk/return assessment of certain 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 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, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. 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 administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of 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, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, 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 administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). 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 considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. 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. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with expense caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential

(Unaudited) (continued)

 

economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

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, collective investment trusts, ETFs 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, as applicable, 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. 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 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’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 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 shares was in the fourth, second and second 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, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one, three, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, and in the second, first and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the fourth, second and second 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, 2019, 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 Equity Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, second and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first, second and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in

the first, second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first, second and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019, and in the first, second and second quintiles based upon the Universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019, 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 first, third and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the first, second and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first, second and third quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the first, first and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and in the first, second and third quintiles based upon the Universe for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, 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 fourth, fourth and third quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the fourth, fifth and third 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, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the fifth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019, and in the third quintile based upon the Universe for both the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019, 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 Value Advantage Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second, second and third quintiles based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and in the second quintile based upon the Universe, for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and in the second quintile based upon the Universe for both the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019. 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.

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 concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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 and noted that Universe and Peer Group ranking were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, 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 fourth and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, 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. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the fourth and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the fourth and first 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.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

The year ahead holds the potential for a strong recovery in the global economy thanks to the massive efforts of central banks and governments and the development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19. While significant economic and health care challenges remain ahead, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.

“Investors who remained fully invested over the second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.”

— Andrea L. Lisher

The second half of 2020 was notable for an accelerating rebound in equity markets from the steep sell-off in the first quarter of the year when the pandemic was first declared by the World Health Organization. Positive news about clinical trials of new vaccines, followed by the first approvals of those vaccines in November 2020, bolstered investor expectations that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. As overall demand for equities increased in the final half of 2020, investors began to turn their focus from companies that could endure the pandemic to those that could benefit from a potential recovery in local, national and international economies. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the S&P 500 Index generated a total return of 22.16%.

Investors who remained fully invested over the second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.

The implementation of mass vaccinations on the national and global scales is not without challenges and the rebuilding of economies at all levels is likely to depend on how successfully the pandemic is fought. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to successfully navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Overall, the second half of 2020 was marked by U.S. equity market gains in the final months of the year amid the rollout of multiple vaccines against Covid-19, followed by the eventual approval of $900 billion in federal pandemic relief that was signed into law on December 27, 2020.

Globally, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity at the start of the period. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for the S&P 500 Index in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.

Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 Index in the final week of October.

U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 Index reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.

Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the reopening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 Index made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Russell 2000 Index returned 37.9%, the Russell Mid Cap Index returned 28.9% and the Russell 1000 Index returned 24.5%. The S&P 500 Index posted a total return of 22.16%.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      27.40%  
S&P 500 Index      22.16%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $105,845  

 

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 outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the financials sector and its security selection in the information technology sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the communication services and health care sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Tesla Inc., Capital One Financial Corp. and Charles Schwab Corp. Shares of Tesla, a producer of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, rose after the company was added to the S&P 500 Index. Shares of Capital One Financial, a banking and financial services company, rose amid improvement in its credit card business during the reporting period. Shares of Charles Schwab, a financial services provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2020 as well as positive investor expectations following the company’s $26 billion acquisition of TD Ameritrade in October 2020.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., Kinder Morgan Inc. and Amgen Inc. Shares of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Amgen, both drug development companies, fell as the U.S. approval of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 reduced both demand for alternative therapies for the virus and investor demand for pharmaceutical companies not pursuing vaccines. Shares of Kinder Morgan, an operator of pipelines and storage for the petroleum and natural gas industries, fell after industry data showed a larger-than-expected increase in U.S. crude oil inventories.

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 positions were in the information technology and financials sectors and the Fund’s smallest positions were in the consumer staples and utilities 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 and the S&P 500 Index from July 29, 2011 to December 31, 2020. 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 S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of

large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class 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 applicable 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      20.56%  
Russell 1000 Value Index      22.75%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $36,404,904  

 

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 underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. 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 utilities sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Walt Disney Co. and its overweight positions in General Dynamics Corp. and Home Depot Inc. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment. Shares of General Dynamics, an aerospace and defense manufacturer, underperformed the broader market amid the December 23, 2020 veto of the 2021 U.S. military budget act by President Donald Trump—subsequently overridden by the U.S. Congress—and investor expectations that the defense sector would be unlikely to immediately benefit from a potential reopening of the economy in 2021. Shares of Home Depot, a home improvement and building materials retailer, underperformed the broader market during the period following a run-up in the share price in the first half of 2020 driven by consumer demand during at-home quarantines.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in Apple Inc. and its underweight positions in Intel Corp. and AT&T Inc. Shares of Apple, an information technology conglomerate, rose amid investor demand for the largest of the large capitalization stocks, better-than-expected quarterly earnings and investor expectations for the company’s planned 5G smartphone. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell after news reports that large technology companies would produce their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources. Shares of AT&T, a telecommunications and entertainment provider, fell amid investor concerns about the company’s planned auction of its DirectTV unit.

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 had 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.

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

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 similar than those shown because Class R3 Shares currently have the same expenses as Class A Shares.

Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares and, prior to February 28, 2011, Class I 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 and Class I Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Equity Income Fund and the Russell 1000 Value

Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 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. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      16.44%  
S&P 500 Index      22.16%  
ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index      0.07%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 287,212  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks current income while maintaining prospects for 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”) and outperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection and underweight position in the information technology sector and its security selection in the financials sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight position in the energy sector and its overweight position in the industrials sector were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s underweight position in Apple Inc. and its overweight positions in Jack Henry & Associates Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corp. Shares of Apple, an information technology conglomerate, rose amid investor demand for the largest of the large capitalization stocks, better-than-expected quarterly earnings and investor expectations for the company’s planned 5G smartphone. Shares of Jack Henry & Associates, a payment processing provider mainly serving the financial services sector, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for its fiscal fourth quarter and issued a lower-than-expected revenue forecast for its fiscal year. Shares

of Northrop Grumman, an aerospace and defense manufacturer, underperformed the broader market amid the December 23, 2020 veto of the 2021 U.S. military budget act by then-President Donald Trump — subsequently overridden by the U.S. Congress — and investor expectations that the defense sector would be unlikely to immediately benefit from a potential reopening of the economy in 2021.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp., and its overweight position in Target Corp. Shares of Microsoft, a technology conglomerate, underperformed after a run-up in the stock price early in the period amid general investor demand for the largest cap stocks. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer, fell after news reports that large technology companies would develop their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources. Shares of Target, a discount department store chain, rose amid two consecutive quarters of better-than-expected growth in earnings and revenue.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund seeks to generate income through a combination of selling options and investing in large cap stocks and delivering monthly income from associated option premiums and stock dividends. The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a proprietary research process designed to identify what they believed were overvalued and undervalued stocks with attractive risk/return characteristics.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income Fund, the S&P 500 Index and the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index from August 31, 2018 to December 31, 2020. 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. 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.

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

Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund and through April 7, 2019, the Fund did not experience any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      10.04%  
S&P 500 Index      22.16%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $14,552,638  

 

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 underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in pharmaceutical/medical technology and media sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the telecommunications and technology sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Walt Disney Co. and its overweight positions in FedEx Corp. and Microsoft Corp. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment. Shares of FedEx, a package and freight delivery company, fell late in the period amid higher costs and after the company withheld its earnings and revenue forecast for 2021. Shares of Microsoft, a technology conglomerate, underperformed after a run-up in the stock price early in the period amid general investor demand for the largest cap stocks.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Intel Corp. and its overweight positions in Charter Communications Inc. and Applied Materials Inc. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer, fell after news reports that large technology companies would develop their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources. Shares of Charter Communications, a cable TV systems operator, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and growth in subscribers for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of Applied Materials, a semiconductor manufacturing equipment maker, rose after the company reported record revenue growth for its fiscal fourth quarter and issued a better-than-expected forecast for revenue and earnings for its fiscal first quarter.

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.

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, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the communication services and consumer staples sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and energy sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Walt Disney Co. and its overweight positions in eBay Inc. and Electronic Arts Inc. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment. Shares of eBay, a provider of online marketplaces, fell amid investor expectations that its business will not benefit from a potential reopening of the economy in 2021. Shares of Electronic Arts, a publisher of video games and other digital content, underperformed the broader market following a run-up in its stock price early in the period.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Qualcomm Inc. and Lam Research Corp., and its underweight position in AT&T Inc. Shares of Qualcomm, a provider of wireless device technology, rose amid increased demand for the company’s products with the implementation of 5G networks. Shares of Lam Research, a manufacturer of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid continued demand for semiconductors and investor expectations that improved U.S.-China relations would head off a potential U.S. ban on doing business with China’s largest semiconductor company, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. Shares of AT&T, a telecommunications and entertainment provider, fell amid investor concerns about the company’s planned auction of its DirectTV unit.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the period, the Fund employed a behavioral finance investment process that seeks to capitalize on market

inefficiencies. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought companies that they believed had attractive valuations, high quality characteristics and strong momentum. The Fund’s positioning was a result of that process

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Intrepid Value Fund and the Russell 1000 Value Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 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. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      29.63%  
Russell 1000 Growth Index      26.12%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $32,290,926  

 

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 outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and its security selection in the information technology sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and industrials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Tesla Inc. and Microsoft Corp., and its out-of-Benchmark position in Snap Inc. Shares of Tesla, a producer of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, rose after the company was added to the S&P 500 Index. Shares of Microsoft, a technology conglomerate, rose amid general investor demand for the largest cap stocks as well as the company’s better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter. Shares of Snap, an online camera platform and social media provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings, revenue and user growth for the third quarter of 2020.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Regeneron Pharmaceutical Inc. and DexCom Inc., and its underweight position in Apple Inc. Shares of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a drug development company, fell as the U.S. approval of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 reduced demand for alternative therapies for the virus. Shares of DexCom, a medical device manufacturer, fell during the period following a run-up in the stock price in the first half of 2020. Shares of Apple, an information technology conglomerate, rose amid investor demand for the largest of the large capitalization stocks, better-than-expected quarterly earnings and investor expectations for the company’s planned 5G smartphone.

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.

The actual returns of Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares had similar expenses to Class I Shares.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      33.65%  
Russell 1000 Value Index      22.75%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $1,702,750  

 

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 outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and its security selection in the information technology sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection and underweight position in the financials sector and its underweight position in the communication services sector were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in U.S. Foods Holding Corp., ON Semiconductor Corp. and General Motors Co. Shares of U.S. Foods Holding, a foodservice distributor, rose during the period after the company reported a narrower-than-expected loss for the second quarter of 2020 and amid investor appetite for shares of select companies that were sold off in the first half of the year. Shares of ON Semiconductor, a semiconductor manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2020 and raised its earnings forecast for the fourth quarter of 2020. Shares of General Motors, an automobile manufacturer, rose amid increased demand for cars and trucks in the second half of 2020 and investor expectations for sales growth in 2021 due to the potential reopening of the economy.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Walt Disney Co. and its overweight positions in FMC Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co.

Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment. Shares of FMC, a diversified chemicals manufacturer, underperformed the broader market during the period after a run-up in the share price during the first half of the year. Shares of Wells Fargo, a banking and financial services company, underperformed the broader market after it reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2020.

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.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class L Shares)*      24.60%  
S&P 500 Index      22.16%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $18,666,776  

 

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 outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s overweight position and security selection in the semiconductors & hardware sector and its security selection in the auto & transportation sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and the media sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Tesla Inc., its out-of-Benchmark position in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and its underweight position in Intel Inc. Shares of Tesla, a producer of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, rose after the company was added to the S&P 500 Index. Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose amid monthly growth in revenue and the company’s upbeat earnings forecast. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell after news reports that large technology companies would develop their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Northrop Grumman Corp. and O’Reilly Automotive Inc. and its underweight position in Walt Disney Co. Shares of Northrop Grumman, an aerospace and defense manufacturer, underperformed the broader market amid the December 23, 2020 veto of the 2021 U.S. military budget act by then-President Donald Trump — subsequently overridden by the U.S. Congress — and investor expectations that the defense sector would be unlikely to immediately benefit from a potential reopening of the economy in 2021. Shares of O’Reilly Automotive, a retailer of automotive parts and tools, underperformed the broader markets following a run-up in the stock price early in the period. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate not held in the Fund, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment.

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.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      21.24%  
Russell 1000 Growth Index      26.12%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $1,287,423  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. GARP Equity 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, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and consumer staples sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the materials sector and its underweight position in the utilities sector were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in eBay Inc., Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. and VMware Inc. Shares of eBay, a provider of online marketplaces, fell amid investor expectations that its business will not benefit from a potential reopening of the economy in 2021. Shares of Sprouts Farmers Market, a supermarket chain, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of VMware, a provider of cloud-based software, fell after a run-up in the stock price early in the period.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Lam Research Inc. and HubSpot Inc. and its underweight position in Home Depot Inc. Shares of Lam Research, a manufacturer of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid continued demand for semiconductors and investor expectations that improved U.S.-China relations would head off a potential U.S. ban on doing business with China’s largest semiconductor company, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. Shares of HubSpot, a provider of a cloud-based marketing and customer service platform for businesses, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2020 and raised its earnings forecast for the fourth quarter and full year 2020. Shares of Home Depot, a home improvement retail chain not held in the Fund, underperformed the broader market following a run-up in the stock price in the first half of 2020.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the period, the Fund employed a behavioral finance investment process that sought to capitalize on market inefficiencies. The Fund’s managers sought growth companies that they believed had attractive relative valuations, high quality characteristics and strong momentum.

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 U.S. GARP Equity Fund and the Russell 1000 Growth Index, from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 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. 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      24.41%  
S&P 500 Index      22.16%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $3,032,269  

 

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.

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, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in both the semiconductors & hardware sector and the telecommunications sector was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the retail and pharmaceutical/medical technology sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s short positions in Intel Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc., and its out-of-Benchmark position in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer, fell after news reports that large technology companies would develop their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources. Shares of Cisco Systems, a provider of networking technology, fell after the company issued a lower-than-expected forecast in August 2020, and amid investor concerns that regulators in China would delay approval for the company’s planned acquisition of Acacia Communications Inc. Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose amid monthly growth in revenue and the company’s upbeat earnings forecast.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s short position in Walt Disney Co. and its

long positions in Northrop Grumman Corp. and O’Reilly Automotive Inc. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate not held in the Fund, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment. Shares of Northrop Grumman, an aerospace and defense manufacturer, fell amid the December 23, 2020 veto of the 2021 U.S. military budget act by President Donald Trump—subsequently overridden by the U.S. Congress—and investor expectations that the defense sector would be unlikely to immediately benefit from a potential reopening of the economy in 2021. Shares of O’Reilly Automotive, a retailer of automotive parts and tools, underperformed the broader market following a run-up in the stock price early in the period.

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 126% to 26%.

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 (the “Benchmark”).

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the Benchmark for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the telecommunications and technology sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the pharmaceutical/medical and media sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Intel Corp. and its overweight positions in Charter Communications Inc. and Applied Materials Inc. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer, fell after news reports that large technology companies would develop their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources. Shares of Charter Communications, a cable TV systems operator, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and growth in subscribers for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of Applied Materials, a semiconductor manufacturing equipment maker, rose after the company reported record revenue growth for its fiscal fourth quarter and issued a better-than-expected forecast for revenue and earnings for its fiscal first quarter.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Walt Disney Co. and its overweight positions in FedEx Corp. and Microsoft Corp. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment. Shares of FedEx, a package and freight delivery company, fell late in the period amid higher costs and after the company withheld its earnings and revenue forecast for 2021. Shares of Microsoft, a technology conglomerate, underperformed after a run-up in the stock price early in the period amid general investor demand for the largest 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan U.S. 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 underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the information technology sector and its security selection and underweight position in the real estate sector were leading detractors 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 performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s underweight position in Apple Inc. and its overweight positions in Cisco Systems Inc. and Home Depot Inc. Shares of Apple, an information technology conglomerate not held by the Fund, rose amid investor demand for the largest of the large capitalization stocks, better-than-expected quarterly earnings and investor expectations for the company’s planned 5G smartphone. Shares of Cisco Systems, a provider of networking technology, fell after the company issued a lower-than-expected forecast in August 2020 as well as investor concerns that regulators in China would delay approval for the company’s planned acquisition of Acacia Communications Inc. Shares of Home Depot, a home improvement retail chain, underperformed the broader market following a run-up in the stock price in the first half of 2020.

Leading individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s overweight positions in Walt Disney Co., Aptiv PLC and Deere & Co. Shares of Walt Disney, an entertainment conglomerate, rose amid increased consumer demand for its online streaming entertainment. Share of Aptiv, an automotive components manufacturer based in Ireland, rose amid investor expectations that the company would benefit from increased government support for the development of electric vehicles in the U.S. and Europe. Shares of Deere, a manufacturer of farming and industrials vehicles and equipment, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal fourth quarter and issued an upbeat earnings forecast.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

During the period, the Fund employed a proprietary scoring methodology to invest in companies that the Fund’s portfolio managers believed have attractive environmental, social and governance characteristics and potential for long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s positioning during the period was a result of that process.

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 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 U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund and the S&P 500 Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

Effective November 1, 2016, the Fund changed its investment strategies. 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.

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

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

(formerly known as JPMorgan Growth and Income Fund)

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      22.00%  
Russell 1000 Value Index      22.75%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)      $1,118,969  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The U.S. Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide 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, underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology sector and its overweight position and security selection in the financials sector were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Northrop Grumman Corp., AutoZone Inc. and General Dynamics Corp. Shares of Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics, both aerospace and defense manufacturers, underperformed the broader market amid the December 23, 2020 veto of the 2021 U.S. military budget act by then-President Donald Trump—subsequently overridden by the U.S. Congress—and investor expectations that the defense sector would be unlikely to immediately benefit from a potential reopening of the economy in 2021. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, underperformed the broader market after the company reported lower-than-expected sales for its fiscal first quarter.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in Apple Inc. and its underweight positions in Intel Corp. and AT&T Inc. Shares of Apple, an information technology conglomerate, rose amid investor demand for the largest of the large capitalization stocks, better-than-expected quarterly earnings and investor expectations for the company’s planned 5G smartphone. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell after news reports that large technology companies would produce their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources. Shares of AT&T, a telecommunications and entertainment provider, fell amid investor concerns about the company’s planned auction of its DirectTV unit.

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.

Returns for Class R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of 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.

Returns for Class R3 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the 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 the 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.

Returns for Class R5 and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. 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 $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Value Fund and the Russell 1000 Value Index from

December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 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. 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.

Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted 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, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (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, excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (“Underlying Funds”), are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

B. Securities Lending — The Funds are 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 Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class 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.

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), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

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.

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. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands).

Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower.

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 cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):

C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Funds 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 tables below.

(a)

Investment in an affiliated fund, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

(b)

The rate shown is the current yield as of December 31, 2020.

(c)

Amount rounds to less than one thousand.

  *

Amount is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net) (after payments of rebates and Citibank’s fee).

D. Options — Hedged Equity Fund purchased and sold (“wrote”) put and call options on various instruments including options on indices to manage and hedge equity risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. 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 record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or 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 Funds 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.

Table of Contents

 

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).

E. Futures Contracts — Hedged Equity Fund, Intrepid Value Fund, U.S. Equity Fund, U.S. GARP Equity Fund, U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund, U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund and U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also purchased 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 futures contracts 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, while 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 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).

G. Equity-Linked Notes — The Equity Premium Income Fund invested in Equity-Linked Notes (“ELNs”). These are hybrid instruments which combine both debt and equity characteristics into a single note form. ELNs’ values are linked to the performance of an underlying index. ELNs are unsecured debt obligations of an issuer and may not be publicly listed or traded on an exchange. ELNs are valued daily, under procedures adopted by the Board of JPM IV, based on values provided by an approved pricing source. These notes have a coupon which is accrued and recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations. Changes in the market value of ELNs are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when an ELN is sold or matures, which is recorded as Net realized gain (loss) on transactions from investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2020, the Equity Premium Income Fund had outstanding ELNs as listed on the SOI.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

H. Short Sales — The U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund engaged 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. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the SOIs. 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 Statements of Operations.

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 Statements of Operations as Dividend expense on securities sold short. The Fund is obligated to pay the broker interest accrued on short positions while the position is outstanding. Interest expense on short positions is reported within Other expense on the Statements of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements 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, 2020, the U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on its SOI.

I. 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 and interest expense on securities sold short, if any, 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 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.

J. 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 applicable funds. 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 share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

K. 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, 2020, no liability for Federal 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 Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

L. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least quarterly, except for Equity Focus Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, U.S. GARP Equity Fund, U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund and U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid annually, Equity Income Fund and Equity Premium 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.

M. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

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 designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with 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, 2020, the Large Cap Growth Fund and U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were 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 LLC, 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 Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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 1, 2021.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“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%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, 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 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance and liquidity.

The Equity Premium Income Fund’s investments in ELNs entail varying degrees of risks. The Fund is subject to loss of their full principal amount. In addition, the ELNs are subject to a stated maximum return which may limit the payment at maturity. The Fund may also be exposed to additional risks associated with structured notes including: counterparty credit risk related to the issuer’s ability to make payment at maturity; liquidity risk related to a lack of liquid market for these notes, preventing the Fund from trading or selling the notes easily; and a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk associated with the underlying financial instruments.

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. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Funds to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. 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. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Funds to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Funds to losses.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of a Fund and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the

performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.

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 titled “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 June and August 2020, 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”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.

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, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds, as well as a risk/return assessment of certain 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 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, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. 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 quality of administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of 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, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, 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 administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). 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 considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. 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. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”) which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with expense caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders

benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

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, Equity Premium Income Fund, Hedged Equity Fund, Intrepid Growth Fund, Intrepid Value Fund, U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund, U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund, U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund and U.S. 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, collective investment trusts, ETFs 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, as applicable, 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. 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 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’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 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 third, second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, first and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, first and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, first and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

The Trustees noted that the Equity Income Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third 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, 2019.

in the first quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, and in the second, first and first quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

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 concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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 and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, 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 third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, 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.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

The year ahead holds the potential for a strong recovery in the global economy thanks to the massive efforts of central banks and governments and the development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19. While significant economic and health care challenges remain ahead, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.

“Investors who remained fully invested over second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.”

— Andrea L. Lisher

The second half of 2020 was notable for an accelerating rebound in equity markets from the steep sell-off in the first quarter of the year when the pandemic was first declared by the World Health Organization. Positive news about clinical trials of new vaccines, followed by the first approvals of those vaccines in November 2020, bolstered investor expectations that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. As overall demand for equities increased in the final half of 2020, investors began to turn their focus from companies that could endure the pandemic to those that could benefit from a potential recovery in local, national and international economies. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the S&P 500 Index generated a total return of 22.16%.

Investors who remained fully invested over the second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.

The implementation of mass vaccinations on the national and global scales is not without challenges and the rebuilding of economies at all levels is likely to depend on how successfully the pandemic is fought. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to successfully navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Overall, the second half of 2020 was marked by U.S. equity market gains in the final months of the year amid the rollout of multiple vaccines against Covid-19, followed by the eventual approval of $900 billion in federal pandemic relief that was signed into law on December 27, 2020.

Globally, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity at the start of the period. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for the S&P 500 Index in late August – a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.

Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 Index in the final week of October.

U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 Index reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.

Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the reopening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity, in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks, but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 Index made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Russell 2000 Index returned 37.9%, the Russell Mid Cap Index returned 28.9% and the Russell 1000 Index returned 24.5%. The S&P 500 Index posted a total return of 22.16%.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      22.04%  
S&P 500 Index**      22.16%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 6,857,296  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Equity Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of securities in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “Benchmark”).

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

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Fund’s Class I Shares largely performed in line with the Benchmark, before considering the effect of Fund fees and expenses. This was consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and indexing strategy, as the Fund looks to generate returns that are comparable to those of the Benchmark.

U.S. equity markets provided positive returns for the reporting period amid continued low interest rates, largely buoyant corporate earnings and the U.S. approval of the first vaccines against Covid-19. During the reporting period, the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors were leading contributors to performance for the Fund and the Benchmark. Energy was the sole sector detractor from performance but its impact was not significant in the Fund and the Benchmark.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Regardless of the market outlook, the Fund was managed in strict conformity with a full index replication strategy and aimed to hold the same stocks in nearly the same proportions as those found in the Benchmark.

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 I Shares. The actual returns for 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 Index Fund and the S&P 500 Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class I Shares)*      31.47%  
S&P 1000 Index**      31.80%  
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands)    $ 976,172  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***

The JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond to or incrementally exceed the total return performance of an index that tracks the performance of the small- and mid-capitalization equity markets.

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the S&P 1000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund’s security selection in the systems hardware and retail sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the pharmaceuticals and industrial cyclical sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Enphase Energy Inc. and Generac Holdings Inc. and its overweight position in Lannet Inc. Shares of Enphase Energy, a provider of systems to the solar energy sector, rose amid better-than-expected earnings and investor expectations that the incoming Biden administration would seek increased investment in renewable energy. Shares of Generac Holdings, a manufacturer of power generators, rose amid increased consumer demand for residential back-up electricity generators. Shares of Lannet, a maker of generic pharmaceuticals, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Momenta Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Owens & Minor Inc. and its underweight position in Exelixis Inc. Shares of Momenta Pharmaceuticals, a drug development company focused on immune systems diseases, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Johnson & Johnson for $6.5 billion. Shares of Owens & Minor, a surgical products manufacturer, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for the full year 2020. Shares of Exelixis, a developer of cancer drugs, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2020.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund seeks to closely follow the sector and industry weights within the Benchmark. Because the Fund uses an enhanced index

strategy, not all of the stocks in the Benchmark are held by the Fund, and the Fund’s position in an individual stock may be overweight or underweight as compared to the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio managers seek to invest in stocks that they believe are attractively valued and that have improving momentum characteristics. The portfolio managers strive to add value exclusively through security selection rather than sector, style or theme allocation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust II (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    Diversification Classification
JPMorgan Equity Index Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    Diversified
JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2 and Class R6    Diversified

The investment objective of JPMorgan Equity Index Fund (“Equity Index Fund”) is to seek investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of securities in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund (“Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund”) is to seek to provide investment results that correspond to or incrementally exceed the total return performance of an index that tracks the performance of the small and mid-capitalization equity markets.

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 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. Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted 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, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (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.

Investments in open-end investment companies (“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).

Table of Contents

 

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 — The Funds are 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 Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class 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.

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), subject to certain de minimis amounts.

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.

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. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

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 cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

Equity Index Fund

   $ 5  

Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund

     2  

The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Funds 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 tables below. Amounts in the tables below are in thousands.

D. Futures Contracts — The Funds used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to their respective indices, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also purchased 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 futures contracts 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, while 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 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).

The table below discloses the volume of the Funds’ futures contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):

 

      Equity Index
Fund
       Market
Expansion
Enhanced
Index Fund
 

Futures Contracts — Equity:

       

Average Notional Balance Long

   $ 41,862        $ 17,892  

Ending Notional Balance Long

     49,999          20,257  

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. Dividend income 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 Trust are allocated among the applicable funds. 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 share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 

      Class A      Class C      Class I      Class R2      Class R6      Total  

Equity Index Fund

                 

Transfer agency fees

   $ 117      $ 3      $ 9        n/a      $ 12      $ 141  

Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund

                 

Transfer agency fees

     11        3        3      $ 11        3        31  

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2020, no liability for Federal 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 Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain 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 quarterly for Equity Index Fund and declared and paid at least annually for Market Expansion Index Fund. 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.

I. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:

 

Equity Index Fund

       0.04

Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund

       0.25  

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 each Fund. In consideration of these services, 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, plus 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the effective annualized rate was 0.07% 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.

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 each Fund’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 and Class R2 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I and Class R6 Shares of the Funds do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, 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  

Equity Index Fund

       0.25        0.75        n/a  

Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund

       0.25          0.75          0.50

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, 2020, JPMDS retained the following (amounts in thousands):

 

      Front-End Sales Charge        CDSC

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. Pursuant to such contracts, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with 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.

During the six months ended December 31, 2020, Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were 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 LLC, 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 Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the six months ended December 31, 2020. Average borrowings from the Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020, were as follows (amounts in thousands, except number of days outstanding):

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 1, 2021.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“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%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, 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 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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, 2020, the following Fund had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

 

     

Number of

and/or Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts

As of December 31, 2020, the J.P. Morgan Investor Funds and the JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Funds, which are affiliated funds of funds, owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows:

 

      J.P. Morgan
Investor
Funds
    JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Blend Funds
 

Equity Index Fund

           57.4

Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund

     62.2      

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance and liquidity.

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. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Funds to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. 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. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Funds to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Funds to losses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of a Fund and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.

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 titled “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. 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 June and August 2020, 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”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.

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, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds, as well as a risk/return assessment of certain 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 session 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, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. 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 administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

 

 

 
46         J.P. MORGAN EQUITY FUNDS   DECEMBER 31, 2020


Table of Contents

 

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of 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, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, 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 administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances. 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 considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. 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. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with expense caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential

economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Senior Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior 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 Senior 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, collective investment trusts, ETFs 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, as applicable, 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. 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 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’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of

funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 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 Index Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, second and first 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, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, and in the second quintile based upon the Universe for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe for both the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019. 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 Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in third, fifth and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, third and second quintiles based upon Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third and fifth quintiles based upon the Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and in the third, second and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2019. 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 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.

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 concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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 and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, 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 Index 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. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class R6 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 Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the fourth and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, 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 fourth 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. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the fifth and fourth quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the third 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.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

The year ahead holds the potential for a strong recovery in the global economy thanks to the massive efforts of central banks and governments and the development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19. While significant economic and health care challenges remain ahead, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.

“Investors who remained fully invested over second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.”

— Andrea L. Lisher

The second half of 2020 was notable for an accelerating rebound in equity markets from the steep sell-off in the first quarter of the year when the pandemic was first declared by the World Health Organization. Positive news about clinical trials of new vaccines, followed by the first approvals of those vaccines in November 2020, bolstered investor expectations that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. As overall demand for equities increased in the final half of 2020, investors began to turn their focus from companies that could endure the pandemic to those that could benefit from a potential recovery in local, national and international economies. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the S&P 500 Index generated a total return of 22.16%.

Investors who remained fully invested over the second half of 2020, in the face of uncertainty over the pandemic, the economy and a contested U.S. presidential election, were likely rewarded for their perseverance.

The implementation of mass vaccinations on the national and global scales is not without challenges and the rebuilding of economies at all levels is likely to depend on how successfully the pandemic is fought. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to successfully navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.

On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES*

The JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund seeks high total return consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity and fixed income securities.

The JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund seeks income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in fixed income and equity securities.

The JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.

The JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and growth of income by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.

HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?

Overall, the second half of 2020 was marked by U.S. equity market gains in the final months of the year amid the rollout of multiple vaccines against Covid-19, followed by the eventual approval of $900 billion in federal pandemic relief that was signed into law on December 27, 2020.

Globally, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity at the start of the period. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for the S&P 500 Index in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations was relatively small at the end of the summer compared with what was to come at the end of the year.

Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 Index in the final week of October.

U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 Index reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and

Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.

Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the reopening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 Index made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUNDS’ PERFORMANCE?

In accordance with their model allocations, each of the JPMorgan Investor Funds (the “Investor Funds”) allocated its assets among fixed income, equity and alternative investments.

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, each of the Investor Funds’ Class A Shares outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index, the Investor Funds’ broad based fixed income benchmark, mainly due to the Investor Funds’ exposure to global equity, which largely outperformed fixed income markets.

Each of the Investor Funds’ Class A Shares underperformed the Russell 3000 Index, the Investor Funds’ broad based equity benchmark, due to the Investor Funds’ allocations to fixed income and international developed market equity, which both underperformed U.S. equity.

The Class A Shares of the Investor Growth Fund outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index, largely due to its large allocation to U.S. equity, which outperformed international developed market equity, while the Investor Balanced Fund, Investor Conservative Growth Fund and the Investor Growth & Income Fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index due to their allocations to fixed income, which underperformed international development market equity.

HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED?

Each Investor Fund invested in underlying JPMorgan Funds (“underlying funds”). The underlying funds invest in fixed income securities, equities and other alternative fixed income and equity strategies, such as below investment grade, high yield bonds and real estate investment trusts. Among equities, the underlying funds in which the Investor Funds invested were allocated among large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap and international stocks. The Investor Funds’ portfolio managers made investments for each Investor Fund based on an evaluation of three components: underlying fund selection, tactical asset allocation and strategic asset allocation. The portfolio managers determined the strategic weight for each asset class in the Investor Funds by making investments that they believed would perform well over the long term and maintaining a level of volatility similar to that of each Investor Fund’s composite benchmark. During the reporting period, the Investor Funds’ portfolio managers maintained their relative overweight positions in international equity.

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 I Shares. The actual returns for 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 $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index, the Russell 3000 Index, the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 broad-based securities indices and the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) 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 Moderate Funds Index, which is not a broad-based securities 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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. Government, mortgage, corporate, and

asset-backed securities with maturities of one to 10 years. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The MSCI EAFE 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, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index consists of funds that by portfolio practice maintain a mix of between 40% to 60% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash and cash equivalents. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $500 minimum initial investment and carry a 4.50% 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

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 I Shares. The actual returns for 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 $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index, the Russell 3000 Index, the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. 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 broad-based securities indices and the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) 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 Conservative Funds Index, which is not a broad-based securities 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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Aggregate

Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. Government, mortgage, corporate, and asset-backed securities with maturities of one to 10 years. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The MSCI EAFE 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, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds Index consists of funds that by portfolio practice maintain a mix of between 20% to 40% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash and cash equivalents. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class A Shares have a $500 minimum initial investment and carry a 4.50% 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 on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

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

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust II (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 4 separate funds of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) covered by this report:

 

      Classes Offered    Diversification Classification
JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    Diversified
JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    Diversified
JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    Diversified
JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund    Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6    Diversified

The investment objective of JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund (“Investor Balanced Fund”) is to seek high total return consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity and fixed income securities.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund (“Investor Conservative Growth Fund”) is to seek income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in fixed income and equity securities.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund (“Investor Growth Fund”) is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.

The investment objective of JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund (“Investor Growth & Income Fund”) is to seek long-term capital appreciation and growth of income by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in 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 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. Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted 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, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) 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 — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds’ valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (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.

Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s net asset values (“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.

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):

B. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Funds 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 tables below.

Investment in an affiliated fund, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.

(b)

The rate shown is the current yield as of December 31, 2020.

C. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

D. 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 applicable funds. 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 share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

The Funds invest in Underlying Funds and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds. 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 affiliated Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.F.

E. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (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, 2020, no liability for Federal 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 Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

F. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least quarterly, except for Investor Conservative Growth Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid at least 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. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05% 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 each Fund. The Administrator does not receive a fee for these services.

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 each Fund’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, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I and Class R6 Shares of the Funds do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, 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. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, JPMDS retained the following (amounts in thousands):

Effective November 1, 2020, the contractual expense limitation for Class A Shares of the Investor Balanced Fund and the Investor Conservative Growth Fund expired. Prior to November 1, 2020, the contractual expense limitation for the Funds was 0.55% for Class A Shares.

(2) 

Effective November 1, 2020, the contractual expense limitation for Class C, Class I and Class R6 Shares expired. Prior to November 1, 2020, the contractual expense limitation was 1.10%, 0.30% and 0.15% for Class C, Class I and Class R6 Shares, respectively.

Except as noted above, the expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and the contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least October 31, 2021.

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 and Class I 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 Underlying Funds up to 0.25% for Class A, Class C and Class I Shares. 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, 2020, the Funds’ service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

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 designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with 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.

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).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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 1, 2021.

The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“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%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, 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 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.

The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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, 2020, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance and liquidity.

Because of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds, the Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds. 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’ 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.

In addition, the Underlying Funds 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 are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as applicable.

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of a Fund and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

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 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, 2020 and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.

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 titled “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 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 June and August 2020, 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”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the Funds and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which each Fund 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.

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 the Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”). 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. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Funds and /or Underlying Funds as well as a risk/return assessment of certain 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 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, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 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, personnel changes, if any, 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, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. 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 risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of 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, 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, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, 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 administration 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). 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 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 Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, 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 the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”) which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems,

The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with expense caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Senior Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior 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 Senior 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, collective investment trusts, ETFs and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and 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, as applicable, 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. 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 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’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 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 Investor Balanced Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one-, three, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, and in the fourth, third and third quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the fourth, second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, second and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the fourth quintile based upon the Peer Group, and in the third quintile based upon the Universe, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2019. 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 under the circumstances.

The Trustees noted that the Investor Conservative Growth Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, third and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, second and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for the Class I shares was in the second, first and second quintiles

based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, second and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2019. 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 under the circumstances.

The Trustees noted that the Investor Growth Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third quintile based upon the Peer Group for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, and in the third, third and second quintiles based upon the Universe, for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the fourth, third and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group, and in the third, third and second quintiles based upon the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the fourth quintile based upon the Peer Group and in the third quintile based upon the Universe, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2019. 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 under the circumstances.

The Trustees noted that the Investor Growth & Income Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, fourth and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and in the third quintile based upon the Universe, for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third, second and first quintiles based upon the Peer Group for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and in the third quintile based upon the Universe, for each of the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019. The Trustees noted that the performance for the Class R6 shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe for the one-year period ended December 31, 2019. 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 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 concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund and noted that Universe and/or Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, 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 Investor 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 the 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 third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the second and third quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the 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 contract of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

The Trustees noted that the Investor Conservative Growth 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 the 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 third quintiles
