Dear Shareholder,
|
“It remains essential, in our view, that investors consider the potential benefits of portfolio diversification that adapts to near-term market conditions while cultivating long-term opportunities.” — Andrea L. Lisher
|
The global economic rebound that marked 2021 has been sapped of much of its strength in 2022 by accelerating inflation and rising interest rates, the conflict in Ukraine and the ongoing global impacts of the pandemic. The uncertain economic picture has proven to be particularly challenging for investors.
U.S. equity prices, which had largely led a decade-long rally in global equity, fell sharply in 2022 and turned in their worst first-half performance since 1970. In general, only select U.S. Treasury bonds and U.S. core fixed income saw increased investor demand amid the sell-off in equities.
In response to rising consumer and producer prices and tight labor markets, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) adopted an increasingly aggressive policy stance in 2022, raising its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points in March, then by 50 basis points in May and by 75 basis points each in June and July. Meanwhile, U.S. gross domestic product fell by 1.6% in the first quarter of 2022 and by an estimated 0.9% in the second quarter.
However, corporate earnings and revenues have largely outpaced certain investor expectations in 2022 amid sustained strength in consumer demand and management efforts to hold down expenses and pass along higher input costs. Further economic resilience was seen in labor markets, where the jobless rate remained at 3.6% from February through June.
In 2022, investors are now facing economic and market circumstances unseen in decades. In the U.S., the highest inflation rate in 40 years and the Fed’s policy response have rattled both equity and fixed income markets. Concurrently, the conflict in Ukraine has constrained both energy supplies to Europe and grain shipments to a range of nations already under economic strain. The Fed and other leading central banks have acknowledged the risks of runaway inflation and have generally pledged to employ a flexible approach to counter those risks without squelching economic growth.
It remains essential, in our view, that investors consider the potential benefits of portfolio diversification that adapts to near-term market conditions, while cultivating long-term opportunities. J.P. Morgan Asset Management will seek to deliver superior client outcomes across a broad range of innovative solutions and risk management processes built on the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century.
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
TWELVE MONTHS ENDED June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Equity markets rallied in the second half of 2021 on the back of low interest rates, record corporate earnings and the global economic rebound. However, equity markets in 2022 rendered their worst first-half performance since 1970.
By the end of June 2022, the S&P 500 had slumped into bear market territory – generally defined as a 20% or more decline since the last closing high. While bond markets largely underperformed equity markets throughout most of the twelve-month period, investor demand for U.S. Treasury bonds bolstered the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index in the second half of the period.
U.S. equity generated positive returns and led developed markets equity to outperform both emerging markets equity and fixed income markets during the second half of 2021. U.S. equity prices were bolstered by continued monetary and fiscal support as well as strong consumer spending and record corporate profits.
A resurgence in the pandemic, particularly the emergence of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, in late 2021 and early 2022 failed to dent the U.S. economy. However, a number of nations reinstated social restrictions and China enacted a “Zero Covid” policy that led to severe lockdowns in several large cities, including Shanghai. The result was a sharp drop in manufacturing and other economic activity across China, which further strained on global supply chains and became a drag on the economies of other emerging market nations.
The S&P 500 reached a new closing high on January 3, 2022, bolstered by record high corporate earnings, sales, cash flows, share repurchases and dividends. However, investor sentiment began to sour as accelerating inflation started to erode consumer confidence and raise expectations for an increase in benchmark interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at the end of February 2022 initiated a sell-off in global financial markets that was further fueled by the highest U.S. inflation rate in more than 40 years. Equity prices recovered somewhat in March 2022 amid better-than-expected corporate earnings. However, the general trend in global financial markets was downward.
While the S&P 500 had a positive total return of 11.7% in the second half of 2021, the index plummeted in the first half of 2022 and its total returns for the twelve-month period was -10.6%. Within U.S. equity markets, small cap and mid cap stocks generally declined more than large cap stocks and growth stocks declined more than value stocks.

Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) * | |
Russell 3000 Growth Index | |
Net Assets as of 6/30/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE **
The JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital growth.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022.
The Fund’s underweight position and security selection in the consumer staples sector and its security selection in the communication services sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while its security selection in the health care sector and its overweight position in the energy sector were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in Roku Inc. and its underweight positions in Apple Inc. and AbbVie Inc. Shares of Roku, a television streaming platform, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 and issued a weaker-than-expected forecast. Shares of Apple, a provider of computers, mobile devices and related services, rose amid record earnings and revenue in the second half of 2021 and continued strong demand for mobile phones. Shares of AbbVie, a pharmaceuticals maker, rose as the company reached settlements with various U.S. states to resolve legal claims against the company’s Allergan unit stemming from the opioid addiction epidemic.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Quanta Services Inc., EOG Resources Inc. and McKesson Corp. Shares of Quanta Services, an engineering and services provider to the energy and utilities sectors, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the first quarter of 2022. Shares of EOG Resources, a petroleum and natural gas producer, rose amid higher global energy prices and after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter of 2022. Shares of McKesson, a provider of pharmaceuticals, health care products and services, rose as the company moved to settle state legal claims stemming from the opioid addiction epidemic and as investors sought defensive sectors, including consumer staples, in response to the market selloff in the first half of 2022.
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.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE (6/30/12 TO 6/30/22)
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 than 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. 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 June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2022. 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.

The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the Russell Midcap Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight position in the energy sector and its overweight 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 Coterra Energy Inc., Diamondback Energy Inc. and AutoZone Inc. Shares of Coterra Energy, a petroleum and natural gas producer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter of 2022, raised its quarterly dividend and maintained its share repurchase plan. Shares of Diamondback Energy, a petroleum and natural gas producer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the first quarter of 2022, raised its quarterly dividend and maintained its share repurchase plan. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, rose amid consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue, and continued sales growth.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Roku Inc. and Gap Inc., and its underweight position in Occidental Petroleum Corp. Shares of Roku, a television streaming platform, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 and issued a weaker-than-expected forecast. Shares of Gap, a retailer of brand name apparel, fell amid general weakness in the apparel sector and weaker-than-expected results for several quarters. Shares of Occidental Petroleum, an oil and natural gas producer not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter of 2022, and as influential investor Warren Buffet increased his stake in the company.
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.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE (6/30/12 TO 6/30/22)
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 dates are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R3 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R3 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares.
Returns for the Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R4 Shares would have been lower because Class R4 Shares have higher expenses than Class I Shares.
Returns for the Class R5 and R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class L Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R5 Shares have higher expenses than Class L Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses to Class L Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund and the Russell Midcap
Value Index from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2022. 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 Mid-cap 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 Midcap Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell Midcap 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.

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 outperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended June 30, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the financials and industrials sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight positions in the utilities sector and consumer staples sector were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in AutoZone Inc. and its out-of-Benchmark positions in Murphy USA Inc. and AbbVie Inc. Shares of AutoZone, an automotive parts retailer, rose amid consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue and continued sales growth. Shares of Murphy USA, a gas station convenience store chain, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue, raised its quarterly dividend and unveiled a $1 billion share repurchase plan. Shares of AbbVie, a pharmaceuticals maker, rose as the company reached settlements with various U.S. states to resolve legal claims against the company’s Allergan unit stemming from the opioid addiction epidemic.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Gap Inc. and Capital One Financial Corp., and its out-of-Benchmark position in CommScope Holding Co. Shares of Gap, a retailer of brand name apparel, fell amid general weakness in the apparel sector and weaker-than-expected results for several quarters. Shares of Capital One Financial, a financial services provider, fell amid general weakness in financial sector stocks as the U.S. economic growth slowed in the first half of 2022. Shares of CommScope Holding, a communications infrastructure provider, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for consecutive quarters amid rising costs.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF June 30, 2022
(Dollar values in thousands)
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 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 Trust (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") covered by this report:
| | | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
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 Fund 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’ prospectus.
Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class I, 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.
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
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 (“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"):

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 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 June 30, 2022.

| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|
| 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.
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
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 0.13% to 0.06%. For the year ended June 30, 2022, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds' investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
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 a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

D. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments 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 year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.
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 year ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF June 30, 2022 (continued)
(Dollar values 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 June 30, 2022, 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 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.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:
| | Accumulated
undistributed
(distributions in
excess of)
net investment
income | Accumulated
net realized
gains (losses) |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to certain investments and tax equalization.
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:
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.

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 year ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:
Effective January 1, 2022, JPMIM voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Funds for the Trustee Fees paid to one of the interested Trustees. For the period January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 the amount of these waivers were as follows:
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
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 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 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 year ended June 30, 2022, Growth Advantage Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund and Mid Cap Growth 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.
4. Investment Transactions

Net capital losses (gains) and specified ordinary losses incurred after October 31 and late year ordinary losses incurred after December 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds' next taxable year.

| Late Year Ordinary Loss Deferral |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
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, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the year ended June 30, 2022.
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 Funds' borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 31, 2022.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended June 30, 2022.
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 million 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 million 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% (the “Applicable Margin”), plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month London Interbank Offered Rate ("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 9, 2022, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a change in the interest associated with any borrowing to the higher, on the day of the borrowing, of (a) the federal funds effective rate, or (b) the one-month Adjusted SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended June 30, 2022.
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 June 30, 2022, the Funds had individual shareholders and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund's outstanding shares as follows:
| Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | | Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Non-Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds' performance and liquidity.

Because Mid Cap Value Fund invests in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), the Fund 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.
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. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. 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, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, 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 changing reference rates used for positions closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of a Fund's investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on a Fund and its investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 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 among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain disruptions and increased government spending 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. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or 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 duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of J.P. Morgan Mutual Fund Investment Trust, J.P. Morgan Fleming Mutual Fund Group, Inc., JPMorgan Trust I and JPMorgan Trust II and Shareholders of JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund, JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund, JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund, JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund and JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund (constituting J.P. Morgan Mutual Fund Investment Trust), JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund (constituting J.P. Morgan Fleming Mutual Fund Group, Inc.), JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund and JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund (two of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust I) and JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust II) (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of June 30, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of June 30, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, January 1, 2022, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, June 30, 2022.
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 and ETFs. 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 covered in this report have adopted the J.P. Morgan Funds and J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds Amended and Restated Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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”), where applicable, 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, 2022, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (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 Fund’s HLIM. During the Program Reporting Period, the Program was amended, pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, to permit the Funds to use liquidity definitions and classification methodologies that differ from the requirements under the Liquidity Rule in some respects. The
Report discussed the implementation of these changes. No other material changes were made 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 the required liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of the liquidity of those investments under current market conditions; (3) whether a Fund invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program), 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 or modified under the Program) and the procedures for monitoring for this limit; and (5) specific liquidity events arising during the Program Reporting Period. The Report further summarized the conditions of the exemptive order.
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.

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. The Securities and Exchange Commission has stated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.
(2) If the registrant provides the disclosure required by paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this Item, it must disclose the name of the audit committee financial expert and whether that person is “independent.” In order to be considered “independent” for purposes of this Item, a member of an audit committee may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee:
(i) Accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the issuer; or
(ii) Be an “interested person” of the investment company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-2(a)(19)).
The Audit committee financial expert is Kathleen M. Gallagher. Ms. Gallagher is not an “interested person” of the Registrant and is also “independent” as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the purposes of the audit committee financial expert determination.
(3) If the registrant provides the disclosure required by paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this Item, it must explain why it does not have an audit committee financial expert.
Not applicable.

The tax fees consist of fees billed in connection with preparing the federal regulated investment company income tax returns for the Registrant for the tax years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

2022 – Not applicable
2021 – Not applicable
(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.
(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
2022 – 0.0%
2021 – 0.0%
(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
Not applicable - Less than 50%.
(g) Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant.
The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were:
2021—$30.5 million
2020—$30.0 million
(h) Disclose whether the registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the independent public registered accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by the independent public registered accounting firm to the Registrant or to Service Affiliates that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.
(i) A registrant identified by the Commission pursuant to Section 104(i)(2)(A) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214(i)(2)(A)), as having retained, for the preparation of the audit report on its financial statements included in the Form NCSR, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction must electronically submit to the Commission on a supplemental basis documentation that establishes that the registrant is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in the foreign jurisdiction. The registrant must submit this documentation on or before the due date for this form. A registrant that is owned or controlled by a foreign governmental entity is not required to submit such documentation.
Not applicable.
(j) A registrant that is a foreign issuer, as defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-4, identified by the Commission pursuant to Section 104(i)(2)(A) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214(i)(2)(A)), as having retained, for the preparation of the audit report on its financial statements included in the Form N-CSR, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction, for each year in which the registrant is so identified, must provide the below disclosures. Also, any such identified foreign issuer that uses a variable-interest entity or any similar structure that results in additional foreign entities being consolidated in the financial statements of the registrant is required to provide the below disclosures for itself and its consolidated foreign operating entity or entities. A registrant must disclose:
| | (1) | That, for the immediately preceding annual financial statement period, a registered public accounting firm that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely, because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction, issued an audit report for the registrant; |
| | (2) | The percentage of shares of the registrant owned by governmental entities in the foreign jurisdiction in which the registrant is incorporated or otherwise organized; |
| | (3) | Whether governmental entities in the applicable foreign jurisdiction with respect to that registered public accounting firm have a controlling financial interest with respect to the registrant; |
| | (4) | The name of each official of the Chinese Communist Party who is a member of the board of directors of the registrant or the operating entity with respect to the registrant; and |
| | (5) | Whether the articles of incorporation of the registrant (or equivalent organizing document) contains any charter of the Chinese Communist Party, including the text of any such charter. |
Not applicable.

If the registrant has such a committee, however designated, identify each committee member. If the entire board of directors is acting as the registrant’s audit committee as specified in Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(B)), so state.
