LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

June 16, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholders,

This year has brought a large measure of relief, hope and reflection on the pandemic and its impact on our families, our jobs and our world. It has also witnessed a remarkable rally in global equity markets, driven initially by investor expectations for an accelerated economic expansion and extended by surging corporate earnings and consumer spending.

“In the year ahead, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to strive to adapt to new challenges and provide investors with innovative and durable solutions that are backed by our deep experience in risk management.”

— Andrea L. Lisher

As leading central banks maintained ultra-low interest rates and governments continued to provide or increase massive fiscal stimulus and recovery programs, many investors sought opportunities for higher returns in global equity markets. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 29.13%, the S&P 500 Index returned 28.85% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 23.09%. Within fixed income markets, Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Index returned 7.97%, the Bloomberg Barclays Emerging Markets Index returned 2.33% and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index returned -1.52%.

The prospects for a diminishing pandemic have brightened in 2021, particularly in the U.S. and Western Europe where vaccination rates have accelerated. However, a surge of infections of COVID-19 and its variants in Brazil, India and elsewhere demonstrated that the global crisis is ongoing and spurred

leading industrialized nations together to pledge to provide one billon doses of vaccine to emerging market nations. Meanwhile, the accelerating economic rebound in the U.S. has raised investor concerns about the potential for rising inflation and supply chain disruptions, though U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has sought to reassure financial markets that upward pressure on prices — while stronger than expected — remains likely to be temporary.

At this point, it’s worth reflecting on the fact that many of those who remained fully invested in the face of unprecedented uncertainty in 2020 likely benefitted fully from the ensuing rally in global equity markets. In the year ahead, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to strive to adapt to new challenges and provide investors with innovative and durable solutions that are backed by our deep experience in risk management. We will continue to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century and focus on the financial needs of our clients.

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 APRIL 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Globally, equity market valuations climbed higher during the period, initially fueled by the massive pandemic response of leading central banks and fiscal authorities and extended by the development of multiple vaccines in late 2020 and the advent of mass vaccinations in 2021. The rebound in asset prices during the period — partly led by U.S. equity — swept across both emerging markets and developed markets.

Fixed income markets provided mixed returns. Amid extremely low yields on developed markets sovereign bonds, investors sought out emerging markets debt and high yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”). The initial re-opening of economies at the global, national and local levels in 2021 also raised investor concerns about potential inflationary pressure.

The final months of the 2020 included a continued rebound in global prices for petroleum and a range of other commodities as manufacturing data and consumer sentiment strengthened. November and December saw broad gains in global equity, partly driven by continued investor demand for U.S. large cap stocks, particularly in the technology sector. Emerging markets equity surged ahead of developed markets in December as China, Taiwan and other emerging market nations appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.

Global equity markets surged from February through April 2021 amid a general surge in corporate earnings and consumer and business spending. Developed market equity provided strong returns, while emerging markets equity was weighed down by investor concern about large pandemic outbreaks in select nations, particularly Brazil and India.

U.S. equity markets generally led the rally, supported by a $1.9 trillion U.S. fiscal relief and recovery package and the prospect of additional federal government spending plans. Better-than-expected corporate earnings and revenues in 2021, combined with strong growth consumer spending and improved manufacturing data, drove global equity prices further upward toward the end of the period.

For the six months ended April 30, 2021, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 29.13%, the S&P 500 Index returned 28.85% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 23.09%.

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:  
Fund (Class L Shares)*      17.17%  
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      22.95%  
Net Assets as of 4/30/2021 (In Thousands)    $ 14,466,953  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return.

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

The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

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

By country, the Fund’s underweight position and security selection in Taiwan and its underweight position in South Korea were leading detractors from relative performance. The Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in Singapore, which solely consisted of Sea Ltd., and its security selection in China were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in Dada Nexus Ltd., its overweight position in Allegro.eu SA and its underweight position in Vale SA. Shares of Dada Nexus, a Chinese provider of online retail and delivery, fell as investors sold the shares in the wake of a run up in the share price in late 2020. Shares of Allegro.eu, a Polish e-commerce platform provider, fell after Amazon.com Inc. entered the Polish market. Shares of Vale, a Brazilian mining company not held in the Fund, rose

amid increased global demand for metals and other commodities.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Sea Ltd. and EPAM Systems Inc., and its overweight position in Wuxi Biologics Inc. Shares of Sea, an online gaming and electronic commerce provider based in Singapore, rose amid growth in consumer demand for online services and entertainment. Shares of EPAM Systems, a global provider of software development and platform engineering services that largely operates from Belarus, rose amid several consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings. Shares of Wuxi Biologics (Cayman), a Chinese developer of biological testing and drug research, rose amid increased demand for its products and services driven by the pandemic.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed an active strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the highest-conviction ideas found at the security level. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to determine the Fund’s security weightings, researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth.

As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest sector overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors and its largest relative underweight allocations were in the materials and energy sectors. The Fund’s largest country overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in India and China and its largest relative underweight allocations were in South Korea and Taiwan.

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

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

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) from April 30, 2011 to April 30, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI Emerging Markets 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 emerging markets. 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 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.

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

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 Emerging Markets Research Enhanced 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 R6 Shares outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

By sector, the Fund’s security selection in the financials and health care sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and real estate sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

By country, the Fund’s security selection China and South Korea were leading contributors to relative performance, while the Fund’s security selection in Poland and India was a leading detractor from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in BiliBili Inc., AU Optronics Corp. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Shares of BiliBili, a Chinese provider of video sharing and online entertainment, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 and after Sony Corp. agreed to purchase a 5% holding in the company. Shares of AU Optronics, a Taiwanese manufacturer of liquid crystal display monitors and solar energy equipment, rose after the company reported continued growth in monthly revenue. Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter of 2021.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in MediaTek Inc. and its overweight positions in CD Projekt SA and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Shares of MediaTek, a Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of earnings growth. Shares of CD Projekt, a Polish developer of video games, fell amid problems with the rollout of its “Cyberpunk 2077” game, which prompted Sony Corp. to pull the game from its PlayStation stores. Shares of Alibaba Group Holding, an electronic commerce conglomerate based in China, fell amid an antitrust review by Chinese regulators that resulted in a $2.8 billion fine against the company.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a combination of a disciplined portfolio construction process with in-depth fundamental research into individual securities conducted by a global network of research analysts to identify what they believed to be their relative value.

As a result of this process, by sector, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the energy and consumer staples sectors and its largest underweight allocations were in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors. By country, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in Russia and South Africa and its largest relative underweight allocations were in Malaysia and Taiwan.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.

The Fund commenced operations on December 11, 2018.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $15,000,000 invested in Class R6 Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) from December 11, 2018 to April 30, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI Emerging Markets 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 emerging markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Class R6 Shares have a $15,000,000 minimum initial investment.

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

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

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge)*      39.31%  
MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      33.32%  
Net Assets as of 4/30/2021 (In Thousands)    $ 752,644  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

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

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

The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

By sector, the Fund’s security selection in the banks sector and its overweight position and security selection in the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment sector were leading contributors to relative performance. The Fund’s security selection in technology hardware & equipment sector and its underweight position in the energy sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ASM International NV, Evolution Gaming Group AB, and its out-of-Benchmark position in Bank of Ireland Group plc. Shares of ASM International, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid investor expectations the company will benefit from Intel Corp.’s planned $20 billion expansion of its manufacturing capacity. Shares of Evolution Gaming Group, a Swedish provider of online

casino games, rose amid continued growth in revenue driven by demand for at-home entertainment. Shares of Bank of Ireland Group rose amid investor expectation that the financials sector in general would benefit from a rebound in economic activity in 2021.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in ASML Holdings NV and its overweight positions in Zalando SE and Royal Ahold Delhaize NV. Shares of ASML Holdings, a Dutch provider of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the first quarter of 2021. Shares of Zalando, a German online retailer of apparel and cosmetics, fell amid investor disappointment with its results for its fiscal fourth quarter. Shares of Royal Ahold Delhaize, a Dutch supermarket chain operator, fell after the company reported a loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 due to pandemic costs.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that attractively valued, high quality securities with positive momentum have the potential to outperform the market. During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers invested in securities that they believed had these style characteristics. Portfolio positions were based on bottom-up security selection rather than top-down asset allocation decisions.

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 L Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class L Shares.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund and the MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) from April 30, 2011 to April 30, 2021. 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 MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI Europe 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 the developed markets in Europe. 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 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.

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

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 APRIL 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      26.48%  
MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      28.84%  
Net Assets as of 4/30/2021 (In Thousands)    $ 4,695,798  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

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

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

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

The Fund’s security selection in the industrials sector and its underweight position in the energy sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the information technology and materials sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

By region, the Fund’s security selection in Europe, excluding the U.K., and its out-of-Benchmark position in emerging markets were leading detractors from relative performance, while its underweight position in Japan and its security selection in the Pacific, excluding Japan, were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its out-of-Benchmark position in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and its overweight positions in Kao Corp. and Unilever plc. Shares of Alibaba Group Holding, an electronic commerce conglomerate based in China, fell amid an antitrust

review by Chinese regulators that resulted in a $2.8 billion fine against the company. Shares of Kao, a Japanese maker of chemicals and consumer products, fell after the company issued a lower-than-expected earnings forecast for 2021. Shares of Unilever, a U.K. consumer products company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected results for its fiscal year 2020.

Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ASML Holding NV, ING Groep NV and LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE. Shares of ASML Holding, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid investor expectations the company would benefit from Intel Corp.’s planned $20 billion expansion of its manufacturing capacity. ING Groep, a Dutch banking and financial services company, rose after the company posted better-than-expected results for the fourth quarter of 2020. Shares of LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton, a French luxury goods maker, rose after Tiffany’s Inc. shareholders approved a takeover offer, ending a months-long dispute.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to focus on security selection to build a portfolio of international equities. They used bottom-up fundamental research to identify what they believed were attractively priced securities of companies with solid financial positions that possessed the potential to increase their earnings faster than their industry peers.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Focus 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 MSCI All Country World Index, ex-U.S. (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

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

By region, the Fund’s security selection in Europe, excluding the U.K., and in emerging markets was a leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position in Japan and its security selection the Pacific, excluding Japan, were leading contributors to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions in Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd., Unilever plc and Tencent Holdings Ltd.

Shares of Alibaba Group Holding, an electronic commerce conglomerate based in China, fell amid an antitrust review by Chinese regulators that resulted in a $2.8 billion fine against the company. Shares of Unilever, a U.K. consumer products

company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected results for its fiscal year 2020. Shares of Tencent Holdings, a Hong Kong online gaming, advertising and services company, fell amid a general increase in scrutiny by Chinese regulators during the period and then-President Trump’s executive order in January 2021 to ban U.S. transactions with eight Chinese-linked online platforms, including Tencent’s WeChat platform.

Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions in ASML Holding NV, LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton SE and Legal & General Group plc. Shares of ASM International, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid investor expectations the company would benefit from Intel Corp.’s planned $20 billion expansion of its manufacturing capacity. Shares of LVMH Moet Hennessey Louis Vuitton, a French luxury goods maker, rose after Tiffany’s Inc. shareholders approved a takeover offer, ending a months-long dispute. Shares of Legal & General, a U.K. financial services provider, rose after the company reported 2020 results that were in line with analysts’ estimates.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

By harnessing their team’s global sector specialists, the Fund’s portfolio managers sought to build a high-conviction, benchmark-agnostic portfolio of growth, value and unique companies, whose future prospects, the portfolio managers believed, were under-appreciated by the market and thus possessed the potential to deliver higher-than-expected earnings that could have a positive effect on their share prices.

FUND COMMENTARY

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class I Shares)*      14.65%  
MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      28.84%  
ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index      0.05%  
Net Assets as of 4/30/2021 (In Thousands)    $ 125,922  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International 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 MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) and outperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index for the six months ended April 30, 2021. The Fund’s options hedge allowed the Fund to generally perform as designed during the reporting period with about 57% of the Benchmark’s volatility.

The Fund’s security selection in the basic industries and automobiles & automotive parts sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the banks and consumer cyclical sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.

By country, the Fund’s security selection in Switzerland, Italy and the U.K. was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in France and Japan was a leading contributor to relative performance.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Orsted A/S, Roche Holding AG and Nitori Holdings Co. Shares of Orsted, a Danish renewable energy generator, fell after reporting lower-than-expected revenue for the first quarter of 2021. Shares of Roche Holdings, a Swiss pharmaceuticals and diagnostics maker, fell after the company reported a decline in drug sales, partly offset by demand for the company’s COVID-19 tests, for the first quarter of 2021. Shares of Nitori, a Japanese home furnishings retailer, fell after the company reported a drop in fourth quarter 2020 earnings amid higher spending.

Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ASML Holdings NV, BNP Paribas SA and Taylor Wimpey plc Shares of ASML Holdings, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid investor expectations the company would benefit from Intel Corp.’s planned $20 billion expansion of its manufacturing capacity. Shares of BNP Paribas, a French banking and financial services company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for 2020 amid a surge in securities trading late in the year. Shares of Taylor Wimpey, a U.K. residential real estate builder, rose amid continued strong demand in the U.K. housing sector.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to focus on security selection to build a portfolio of international equities. They

used bottom-up fundamental research to identify what they believed were attractively priced securities of companies with solid financial positions that possessed the potential to increase their earnings faster than their industry peers.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund, the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index from March 15, 2019 to April 30, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable.

The performance of 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 has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. 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 ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the begin-

ning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

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

Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable inception date.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International Research Enhanced 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 slightly outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

The Fund’s security selection in the banks and consumer cyclical sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the basic industries and automobiles & automotive parts sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

By region, the Fund’s security selection in Japan and Pacific excluding Japan was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in Europe and the U.K., was the sole regional detractor from relative performance.

Due to the Fund holding a relatively large number of securities during the reporting period, the impact of individual holdings on the Fund’s relative performance tended to be small.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

Using the fundamental equity insights generated by analysts, the Fund’s portfolio managers took overweight positions in securities included within the universe of the Benchmark that they considered undervalued, while underweighting or not holding securities in the Benchmark that they considered overvalued.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:        
Fund (Class L Shares)*      41.55%  
MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes)      36.00%  
Net Assets as of 4/30/2021 (In Thousands)    $ 366,571  

 

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The JPMorgan International 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 L Shares outperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2021.

The Fund’s underweight position in the utilities sectors and its security selection in the capital goods sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the diversified financials and software & services sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.

By region, the Fund’s security selection in the Pacific, excluding Japan, and its underweight position in the U.K. were leading contributors to relative performance, while the Fund’s security selection in Europe and its underweight position in Japan were leading detractors from relative performance.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Unilever plc, Sanofi SA and Iberdrola SA. Shares of Unilever, a U.K. consumer products company not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected results for its fiscal year 2020. Shares of Sanofi, a French pharmaceutical company not held in the Fund, underperformed after the company

reported lower-than-expected revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 and declined to raise its forecast for 2021 at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Shares of Iberdrola, a Spanish electricity utility, underperformed amid a series of acquisitions by the company during the period.

Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in Banco Santander SA and its underweight positions in Westpac Banking Corp. and BASF SE. Shares of Banco Santander, a Spanish banking company that was added to the Fund in late November, rose along with the broader financial sector but their largest gains were in early November. Westpac Banking, an Australian financial services provider, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for 2021. Shares of BASF, a German chemicals company, rose after the company reported profit growth for the fourth quarter of 2020 and issued a positive earnings forecast for 2021.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers employed behavioral-based and quantitative screens in addition to conducting fundamental analysis to seek out companies that they believed had attractive valuations. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest overweight sector positions relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the banks and retail sectors, while the largest underweight sector positions were in the utilities and real estate sectors.

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

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan International Value Fund and the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) from April 30, 2011 to April 30, 2021. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted

index that is designed to measure the performance of value-oriented stocks in the world’s equity markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. 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 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.

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

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.

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. Certain foreign equity instruments are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post-closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated.

Investments in open-end investment companies (“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. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.

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.

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

As of April 30, 2021, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

C. 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 the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the 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 April 30, 2021.

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 April 30, 2021, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:

 

Emerging Markets Equity Fund

       1  

International Equity Fund

       2  

International Focus 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).

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

The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

F. Derivatives — The Funds, except for Emerging Markets Equity Fund, used derivative instruments including options, futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with their respective investment strategies. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Funds can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Funds. Derivatives may also be used to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.

The Funds may be subject to various risks from the use of derivatives, including the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the potential lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing a Fund to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Funds’ risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds are party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Funds’ ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Funds in the event the Funds’ net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements may also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Funds to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against a counterparty (e.g., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both a counterparty and the Funds often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor a counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Funds. The ISDA agreements give the Funds and a counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreements and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable against collateral posted to a segregated account by one party for the benefit of the other.

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

Notes F(1) — F(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.

(1). Options — International Hedged Equity Fund purchased and sold (“wrote”) put and call options on various instruments including currencies, futures, securities, options on indices and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underying 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.

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

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

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

(2). Futures Contracts — Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, Europe Dynamic Fund, International Equity Fund, International Hedged Equity Fund, International Research Enhanced Equity Fund and International Value 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).

(3). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — International Focus Fund is exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of its portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of an investment strategy. The Fund also bought forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without the delivery of the foreign currency.

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

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

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

H. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income 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, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF APRIL 30, 2021 (Unaudited) (continued)

(Dollar values in thousands)

 

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.

I. 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.

J. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (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 April 30, 2021, 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, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

K. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

L. 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.

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.

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.

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:

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 April 30, 2021, Europe Dynamic 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, except for Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, had no borrowings outstanding from another fund at April 30, 2021. Average borrowings from the Facility during the six months ended April 30, 2021 were as follows:

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 April 30, 2021.

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 had no borrowings outstanding from the Credit Facility at April 30, 2021. Average borrowings from the Credit Facility during the six months ended April 30, 2021 were as follows:

 

        Average

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

As of April 30, 2021, the following Funds had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments (excluding investment of cash collateral from securities loaned) as follows:

As of April 30, 2021, a significant portion of each Fund’s investments consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.

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.

Table of Contents

LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that 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 of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s investments 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, November 1, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, April 30, 2021.

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.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

(Unaudited)

 

Each of the Funds has adopted the J.P. Morgan Funds Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Program seeks to assess, manage and review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk. “Liquidity Risk” is defined as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund. Among other things, the Liquidity Rule requires that a written report be provided to the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on an annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation,

including the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (“HLIM”) established for a J.P. Morgan Fund and any material changes to the Program.

The Board has appointed J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Liquidity Risk Forum to be the program administrator for the Program (the “Program Administrator”). In addition to regular reporting at each of its quarterly meetings, on February 8, 2021, the Board of Trustees reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, where applicable, the operation of a J.P. Morgan Fund’s HLIM. There were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period.

The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Program Administrator in assessing whether the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund. Such information and factors included, among other things: (1) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage, and periodically review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk and the results of this

assessment; (2) the methodology and inputs for classifying the investments of a Fund into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of the liquidity of those investments under current market conditions, including additional focus on particular asset classes and securities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; (3) whether a Fund invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule), as well as whether an HLIM should be established for a Fund (and, for Funds that have adopted an HLIM, whether the HLIM continues to be appropriate or whether a Fund has invested below its HLIM) and the procedures for monitoring for any HLIM; (4) whether a Fund invested more than 15% of its assets in “Illiquid Investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule) and the procedures for monitoring for this limit; (5) the oversight of the liquidity vendor retained to perform liquidity classifications for the Program including during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (6) specific liquidity events arising during the Program Reporting Period, including the impact on Fund liquidity caused by the significant market volatility created in March 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Report further summarized that the Program Administrator instituted a stressed market protocol in March 2020 to: (1) review the results of the liquidity risk framework and daily liquidity classifications of each Fund’s investments; and (2) perform additional stress testing. The Report noted that each Fund was able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to remaining shareholders during the Program Reporting Period, including during March 2020.

Based on this review, the Report concluded that: (1) the Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk; and (2) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund during the Program Reporting Period.
