JNL Investors Series Trust (Unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The JNL Investors Series Trust (“Trust”) was organized under the laws of Massachusetts, by a Declaration of Trust, dated July 28, 2000. The Trust is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”), and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“1933 Act”) as an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in various series. Each series is known as a “Fund” (collectively, “Funds”) and represents a distinct portfolio with its own investment objectives and policies. The Trust currently consists of three (3) separate Funds, JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund, for which PPM America, Inc. serves as the Sub-Adviser, and JNL Money Market Fund, for which Wellington Management Company, LLP serves as Sub-Adviser. JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund, JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund and JNL Money Market Fund are diversified investment companies as defined in the 1940 Act.
Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM” or “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jackson National Life Insurance Company® (“Jackson”), serves as investment adviser to each of the Funds. Jackson is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential plc, a publicly traded company incorporated in the United Kingdom. Prudential plc is not affiliated in any manner with Prudential Financial Inc., a company whose principal place of business is the United States of America. PPM America, Inc., the Sub-Adviser for JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund, is an affiliate of JNAM. At June 30, 2014, affiliated investment companies owned 100% of the outstanding capital shares of JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund, JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund and JNL Money Market Fund.
JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund presently offer one class of shares, Class A, which are available for investment to certain Funds in the JNL Series Trust, an open end management investment company advised by JNAM. JNL Money Market Fund offers an Institutional Class of shares. Institutional Class shares are not sold to retail investors but are available for investment to affiliated Funds.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation - Under the Trust’s valuation policy and procedures, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) has delegated the daily operational oversight of the securities valuation function to the JNAM Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”), which consists of certain officers of the Trust and JNAM management. The Pricing Committee is responsible for determining fair valuations for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. For those securities fair valued under procedures adopted by the Board, the Pricing Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the fair valuation determinations after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available. The Pricing Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. For fair valuation determinations that are deemed significant, the Board is promptly notified, in detail, of the fair valuation.
The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund shall be determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern Time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Debt securities are generally valued by independent pricing services approved by the Board. Pricing services utilized to value debt securities may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as: yield; credit quality; coupon rate; maturity; type of issue; trading characteristics; call features; credit ratings; broker quotes; and other relevant data. If pricing services are unable to provide valuations, debt securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation for a long position and ask quotation for a short position or an evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from each Fund’s Sub-Adviser, a broker/dealer or widely used quotation system. All securities in the JNL Money Market Fund, as permitted by compliance with applicable provisions of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and other short-term securities maturing within sixty (60) days are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that such practice does not approximate market value. Futures contracts traded on an exchange are valued at the exchange’s settlement price which reflects fair value. If the settlement price is not available, exchange traded futures are valued at the last sales price as of the close of business on the local exchange. Centrally cleared swap agreements, listed on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued by the respective exchange. The exchange determines a daily settlement price via pricing models which use, as appropriate, its members’ actionable levels across complete term structures along with information obtained from external third party price providers. Stocks traded on an exchange are generally valued at the official closing price of the exchange where the security is principally traded. If there is no official closing price for the security, the security may be valued at the last quoted sale price on the exchange where the security is principally traded or final bid price in the absence of a sale. Stocks not listed on a national or foreign stock exchange may be valued at the closing bid price on the over the counter market. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the NAV per share determined as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date. The Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC, which provides daily liquidity, is valued at the daily reported NAV of the fund, as a practical expedient, as of the close of the NYSE on each valuation date.
Market quotations may not be readily available for certain investments or it may be determined that a quotation of an investment does not represent market value. In such instances, the investment is valued as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Situations that may require an investment to be fair valued may include instances where a security is thinly traded, halted or restricted as to resale. In addition, investments may be fair valued based on the occurrence of a significant event. Significant events may be specific to a particular issuer, such as mergers, restructurings or defaults. Alternatively, significant events may affect an entire market, such as natural disasters, government action and significant changes in value of U.S. securities markets. Securities are fair valued based on observable and unobservable inputs, including the Adviser’s or Pricing Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment. Under the procedures approved by the Board, the Adviser may utilize pricing services or other sources, including each Fund’s Sub-Adviser, to assist in determining the fair value of an investment. Factors considered to

determine fair value may include the correlation with price movement of similar securities in the same or other markets; the type, cost and investment characteristics of the security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; and trading or other market data.
If an investment is valued at a fair value for purposes of calculating a Fund’s NAV, the value may be different from the last quoted price for the investment depending on the source and method used to determine the value. Although there can be no assurance, in general, the fair value of the investment is the amount the owner of such investment might reasonably expect to receive in an orderly transaction between market participants upon its current sale.
Distributions to Shareholders - The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund generally declare and pay dividends from net investment income annually, but may pay more frequently to avoid excise tax. JNL Money Market Fund declares dividends daily and pays dividends monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually, to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards.
Security Transactions and Investment Income - Security transactions are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income, net of applicable withholding taxes, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income received in lieu of dividends for securities loaned is included in dividends in the Statements of Operations. Interest income, including level-yield amortization of discounts and premiums, is accrued daily. A Fund may place a debt obligation on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured. Realized gains and losses are determined on the specific identification basis.
Expenses - Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses of the Trust that are directly attributable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Other Trust level expenses are allocated to the Funds based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.
Guarantees and Indemnifications - In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, since their commencement of operations, the Funds have not had claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-11 “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures”. The amendments in this ASU change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to secured borrowing accounting, which is consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. The amendments also require two new disclosures. The first disclosure requires an entity to disclose information on transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. The second disclosure provides increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for the first interim and annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2014-11 will have on the Funds’ financial statements.
NOTE 3. FASB ASC TOPIC 820, “FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURE”
This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Fund’s investments under FASB ASC Topic 820 guidance. The inputs are summarized into three broad categories.
Level 1 includes valuations based on quoted prices of identical securities in active markets including valuations for securities listed on a national or foreign stock exchange or investments in mutual funds and securities lending collateral, which is valued as a practical expedient at its daily reported NAV.
Level 2 includes valuations determined from significant direct or indirect observable inputs. Direct observable inputs include broker quotes, third party prices, closing prices of similar securities in active markets, closing prices for identical or similar securities in non-active markets or corporate action or reorganization entitlement values. Indirect significant observable inputs include factors such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds or credit ratings. Level 2 includes valuations for fixed income securities, broker quotes in active markets, securities subject to corporate actions, centrally cleared swap agreements or securities valued at amortized cost.
Level 3 includes valuations determined from significant unobservable inputs including the Adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of the investment. Inputs used to determine the fair value of Level 3 securities include security specific inputs such as: credit quality, credit rating spreads, issuer news, trading characteristics, call features, maturity or anticipated cash flows; or industry specific inputs such as:
JNL Investors Series Trust (Unaudited)

trading activity of similar markets or securities, changes in the security’s underlying index or changes in comparable securities’ models. Level 3 valuations include securities that are priced based on single source broker quotes, where prices may be unavailable due to halted trading, restricted to resale due to market events, newly issued or investments for which reliable quotes are otherwise not available.
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuation, the Adviser regularly compares prior day prices with current day prices, transaction prices and alternative vendor prices. When the comparison results exceed pre-defined thresholds, the Adviser challenges the prices exceeding tolerance levels with the pricing service or broker. To verify Level 3 unobservable inputs, the Adviser uses a variety of techniques as appropriate to substantiate these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis and review of related market activity.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table summarizes each Fund’s investments in securities and other financial instruments as of June 30, 2014 by valuation level.

NOTE 4. SECURITIES INVESTMENTS, INVESTMENT RISKS AND REGULATORY MATTERS
U.S. Government Agencies or Government Sponsored Enterprises - Certain Funds may invest in U.S. government agencies or government sponsored enterprises. U.S. Government securities are obligations of, and in certain cases, guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Some U.S. Government securities, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association, are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government; others, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Bank, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”); others, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agency’s obligations; and still others, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing Association, are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. U.S.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
Government securities may include zero coupon securities, which do not distribute interest on a current basis and tend to be subject to greater risk than interest paying securities of similar maturities.
Government-related guarantors (i.e., guarantors that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government) include FNMA and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). FNMA purchases conventional (i.e., not insured or guaranteed by any government agency) residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers, which include state and federally chartered savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions and mortgage bankers. Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by FNMA, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates (“PCs”), which are pass-through securities, each representing an undivided interest in a pool of residential mortgages. FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of principal, but PCs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
FNMA and FHMLC were placed into conservatorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”). As the conservator, FHFA succeeded to all rights, titles, powers and privileges of FNMA and FHLMC and of any stockholder, officer or director of FNMA and FHLMC with respect to FNMA and FHLMC and each enterprise’s assets. In connection with the conservatorship, the U.S. Treasury entered into a Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with FNMA and FHLMC. This agreement contains various covenants that severely limit each enterprise’s operations. In exchange for entering into these agreements, the U.S. Treasury received senior preferred stock in each enterprise and warrants to purchase each enterprise’s common stock. The U.S. Treasury created a new secured lending facility, which is available to FNMA and FHLMC as a liquidity backstop and created a temporary program to purchase mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC. FNMA and FHLMC are continuing to operate as going concerns while in conservatorship and each remains liable for all of its obligations, including its guaranty obligations, associated with its mortgage-backed securities.
Unregistered Securities - A Fund may own certain investment securities, which are unregistered and thus restricted to resale. These securities may also be referred to as “private placements”. Unregistered securities may be “illiquid” because there is no readily available market for sale of the securities. Where future dispositions of the securities require registration under the 1933 Act, as amended, the Funds have the right to include those securities in such registration generally without cost to the Funds. The Funds have no right to require registration of unregistered securities.
Repurchase Agreements - Certain Funds may invest in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed upon price and date. Earnings on collateral and compensation to the seller are based on agreed upon rates between the seller and the Fund. Interest earned on repurchase agreements is recorded as interest income to the Fund. The underlying securities used as collateral for repurchase agreements may be held in safekeeping by the Fund’s Custodian or designated sub custodians under triparty repurchase agreements or delivered to the counterparty. When a repurchase agreement is entered into, a Fund typically receives securities with a value that approximates or exceeds the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. The value of such securities will be marked to market daily, and cash or additional securities will be exchanged between the parties with a frequency and in amounts prescribed in the repurchase agreement.
Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of repurchase agreements and collateral pledged or received by a counterparty are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. The Fund’s net exposure to the counterparty is determined by the amount of any excess or shortfall in collateral compared to the value of the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of such collateral may decline.
Delayed-Delivery Securities - JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed-delivery basis, including To Be Announced (“TBA”) or “To Be Acquired” securities. These transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. In TBA transactions, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying security transactions. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, a Fund is required to have sufficient cash and/or liquid securities to cover its commitments on these transactions. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund assumes the rights of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and considers such fluctuations when determining its NAV. A Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell delayed-delivery securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a Fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains or losses with respect to the security. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund. In connection with TBA transactions, Funds may maintain a short position related to certain securities. In connection with these transactions, the Fund owns an equal amount of the securities or holds securities convertible (or exchangeable) into an equal amount of the securities, of the same issuer, as the position held short.
Mortgage-Backed Dollar and Treasury Roll Transactions - JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund may sell mortgage-backed or treasury securities and simultaneously contract to repurchase securities at a future date at an agreed upon price. The Funds may only enter into covered rolls. A “covered roll” is a type of dollar roll for which a Fund maintains offsetting positions in cash, U.S. Government securities, or other liquid assets which mature on or before the forward repurchase settlement date of the dollar roll transaction. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a Fund forgoes interest and principal paid on the mortgage-backed securities. A Fund is compensated by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and from negotiated fees paid by brokers offered as an inducement to the Fund to “roll over” its purchase commitments. A Fund may dispose of “covered roll” securities after they are entered into and close these positions before their maturity, which may result in a realized gain or loss.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
In a mortgage-backed or treasury securities roll transaction, if the repurchased security is determined to be similar, but not substantially the same, the transaction is accounted for as a purchase and sale. Any gains, losses and any income or fees earned are recorded to realized gain or loss. If the repurchased security is determined to be substantially the same, the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing, rather than as a purchase and sales transaction. Any income or fees earned are recorded to investment income and financing costs associated with the transaction are recorded to interest expense. For the period ending June 30, 2014, JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund did not transact in treasury transactions characterized as secured borrowing transactions.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a Fund may decline below the repurchase price of those securities which the Fund is obligated to purchase or that the return earned by the Fund with the proceeds of a dollar roll may not exceed transaction costs.
Securities Lending and Securities Lending Collateral - JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund may lend securities to certain brokers, dealers or other financial institutions in order to earn additional income. The borrowers and the Funds’ securities lending agent exchange negotiated lender fees and the Fund receives a fee equal to a percentage of the net negotiated lender fees and the net income generated by the securities lending collateral held during each lending transaction. The securities lending agent is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved borrowers and per the securities lending agreement is required to maintain collateral at least equal to the value of the securities loaned based on the previous day’s value of the securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any shortfalls are adjusted the next business day. Cash collateral received from the borrower is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as payable upon return of securities loaned. The investments acquired with such cash collateral are reported in a manner consistent with other portfolio investments held by each Fund as investment - at value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of securities on loan is disclosed under footnote (d) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A Fund is indemnified by its securities lending agent for insufficient collateral obtained from the borrower. Each Fund’s net exposure to the borrower is determined by the amount of any excess or shortfall in cash collateral received compared to the value of securities on loan. In addition, there could be a decline in the value of the collateral or in the value of the securities loaned while a Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto and the Fund could experience subnormal levels of income or lack of access to income during that period. Each Fund also bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of collateral available for return to a borrower due to a loss in an approved investment. Each Fund is responsible for returning the full amount of collateral received for a particular loan when the borrower returns the applicable security.
In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, a Fund could experience delays in recovering the loaned securities and incur expenses related to enforcing its rights. However, a Fund is indemnified by its securities lending agent for borrower default.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM Chase” or “Custodian”) serves as custodian and securities lending agent to the Funds. The Funds have cash collateral invested in the Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC, a limited liability company sponsored by the Adviser. Although the Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC is not a registered fund under the 1940 Act, and is not a “money market fund”, it typically has daily liquidity and invests in high quality U.S. dollar-denominated instruments that qualify at time of purchase as “eligible securities” within the meaning of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs money market funds. The Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC is only offered to JNAM affiliated funds. Short-term securities in the Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC are valued at amortized cost, unless it is determined that such practice does not approximate market value.
Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk - In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (“market risk”) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (“credit risk”). Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit risk, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties (“counterparty risk”). The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets is incorporated within their carrying value as recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For certain derivative contracts, the potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the financial statements.
Unfunded Commitments - Certain Funds may enter into certain credit agreements, all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these loan commitments at the borrowers’ discretion. Unfunded loan commitments and funded portions of credit agreements are marked-to-market daily. Funded portions of credit agreements are presented in the Schedules of Investments. The following table details unfunded loan commitments (in thousands) at June 30, 2014:
| | Unfunded Commitment | | Appreciation | |
JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund | | | | | |
Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Co. LLC Delayed Draw Term Loan | | $ | 976,522 | | $ | 8,577 | |
| | | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation on unfunded commitments is reflected in other assets and payable for investment securities purchased in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and unrealized appreciation on investments in the Statements of Operations.
NOTE 5. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS, CUSTOMER ACCOUNT AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERAL
Under various agreements, certain investment transactions require collateral to be exchanged by a Fund and a counterparty or segregated at the custodian. U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. dollar cash are generally the preferred forms of collateral, although other forms of high quality or sovereign securities may be used. Securities held by a Fund that are used as collateral are identified as such within the Schedules of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
Master Netting Agreements (“Master Agreements”) - Certain Funds are subject to various Master Agreements, which govern the terms of certain transactions and mitigate the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Since different types of financial transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. A Fund may net exposure and collateralize multiple transaction types governed by the same Master Agreement with the same counterparty and may close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default and/or termination event with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. Each Master Agreement defines whether the Fund is contractually able to net settle daily payments. Additionally, certain circumstances, such as laws of a particular jurisdiction or settlement of amounts due in different currencies, may prohibit or restrict the right of offset as defined in the Master Agreements.
Master Agreements also help limit credit and counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral) governed under the relevant master agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. A Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds’ Sub-Advisers attempt to limit counterparty risk by only entering into Master Agreements with counterparties which the Sub-Adviser believes to have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. For swap agreements executed with a Derivatives Clearing Organization (“DCO”) in a multilateral or other trade facility platform (“centrally cleared swaps”), counterparty risk is reduced by shifting exposure from the counterparty to the DCO. Additionally, the DCO has broad powers to provide an orderly liquidation in the event of a default.
Master Repurchase Agreements and Global Master Repurchase Agreements (individually and collectively “Master Repo Agreements”) - Master Repo Agreements govern repurchase, reverse repurchase and treasury roll transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. The Master Repo Agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, income payments and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral. In the event of default, the total value exposure will be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty.
Customer Account Agreements - Customer Account Agreements and related addendums govern cleared derivative transactions such as futures and centrally cleared derivatives. If a Fund transacts in centrally cleared derivatives, the Sub-Adviser is a party to agreements with (1) a Futures Commissions Merchant (“FCM”) in which the FCM facilitates the execution of the centrally cleared derivative with the DCO and (2) with an executing broker/swap dealer to agree to the terms of the swap and resolution process in the event the centrally cleared swap is not accepted for clearing by the designated DCO. Cleared derivatives transactions require posting an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount known as the “initial margin” as determined by each relevant clearing agency and is segregated at an FCM which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or the applicable regulator. The Fund receives from, or pays to, the counterparty an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as the “variation margin”. Variation margin received may not be netted between futures and centrally cleared derivatives. In the event of default, counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors to the FCM do not have claim to the Fund’s assets in the segregated account. Additionally, portability of exposure in the event of default further reduces risk.
NOTE 6. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Futures Contracts - A futures contract is a standardized contract obligating two parties to exchange a specified asset at an agreed upon price and date. Variation margin is recorded by the Fund until the contracts are terminated at which time realized gains and losses are recognized. Futures contracts involve to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin recorded by the Fund. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in value of the securities held by the Fund or the change in the value of an underlying entity and the prices of the futures contracts and the possibility the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. With futures, counterparty risk is reduced to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, acting as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Swap Agreements - Swap agreements are bilaterally negotiated agreements between a Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals. Centrally cleared swap agreements are executed and centrally cleared with a DCO.
Centrally cleared swap agreements are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Daily changes in valuation are recorded as a receivable or payable, as appropriate, and received from or paid to the DCO on a daily basis until the contracts are terminated at which time a realized gain or loss is recorded. The use of centrally cleared swaps may require a Fund to commit initial and variation margin. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gain or loss. Entering into centrally cleared swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, credit and market risk in excess of the variation margin recorded by the Fund.
Credit Default Swap Agreements on Credit Indices — A Fund may use credit default swap agreements on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swap agreements or bonds, to protect investors owning bonds against default and to speculate on changes in credit quality. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to represent a portion of the credit market. These indices consist of reference credits that are

considered to be the liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the index sector. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed securities and emerging market securities. These components can be determined based upon various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the issuers in the index, and if there is a credit event, the credit event is settled based on that issuer’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each issuer has an equal weight in the index.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return if a credit event occurs for the referenced index. As a seller of protection, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a premium in return for such protection and/or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap if there is no credit event. A credit event is defined under the terms of each swap agreement and may include, but is not limited to, underlying entity default, bankruptcy, restructuring, write-down, principal shortfall or interest shortfall. As a seller, a Fund adds leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap and take delivery of the underlying securities comprising the referenced index or pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap less the recovery value of the underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular credit default swap agreement, the Fund will either receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap and deliver the underlying securities comprising the referenced index or receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the credit default swap less the recovery value of the underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Until a credit event occurs, recovery values are determined by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations. When a credit event occurs, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction, administered by ISDA, whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.
Either as a seller of protection or a buyer of protection of a credit default swap agreement, a Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and Financial Instruments Eligible for Offset - FASB ASC Topic 815 includes the requirement for enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments and disclosures regarding credit related contingent features in derivative instruments; as well as quantitative disclosures in the semi-annual and annual financial statements about fair value, gains and losses, and volume of activity for derivative instruments. Information about these instruments is disclosed in the context of each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure which is categorized as credit, equity price, interest rate, and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The following disclosures include: (1) Objectives and strategies for each Fund’s derivative investments during the year. (2) A summary table of the fair valuations of the JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund’s derivative instruments categorized by risk exposure, which references the location on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the realized and unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations for each derivative instrument as of June 30, 2014. The JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund held only one type of derivative during the year and is not included in the tables as the location on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as receivable or payable for variation margin and the realized and unrealized gain loss on the Statements of Operations can be referenced directly on the Fund’s respective statements. (3) A table reflecting each Fund’s average monthly derivative volume for the period ended June 30, 2014.
None of the derivative instruments held by the Funds are subject to master netting agreements or a similar agreement and are not eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2014. Net exposure to a Fund for futures contracts and centrally cleared swaps is the variation margin receivable or payable in addition to any collateral pledged for the initial margin on the futures contracts.
Fund Derivative Strategies - The JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund used futures contracts to manage exposure to or hedge changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and to replicate treasury bond positions. The JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund used centrally cleared credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against defaults of issuers and to manage credit exposure.

NOTE 7. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Advisory Fee - The Trust has an investment advisory and management agreement with JNAM, whereby JNAM provides investment management services. Each Fund pays JNAM an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a specified percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund. A portion of this fee is paid by JNAM to the Sub-Advisers as compensation for their services. The JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund is obligated to pay JNAM an annual rate of 0.45% for net assets up to $500 million and 0.40% for net assets over $500 million. The JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund is obligated to pay JNAM an annual rate of 0.50% for net assets up to $1 billion and 0.45% for net assets over $1 billion. The JNL Money Market Fund is obligated to pay JNAM an annual rate of 0.20% for net assets up to $750 million and 0.18% for net assets over $750 million.
Administrative Fee - JNAM also serves as the “Administrator” to the Funds. The JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund pay JNAM an Administrative Fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund which is accrued daily and paid monthly. JNAM provides or procures most of the necessary administrative functions and services for the operations of the JNL Money Market Fund at no additional cost. In accordance with the administration agreement, JNAM is responsible for payment of the following expenses: fund accounting, shareholder reporting, shareholder servicing, certain legal, insurance, custody, audit, and tax fees. Additionally, JNAM provides transfer agency services.
Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements - Pursuant to a contractual expense limitation agreement, effective November 1, 2010, JNAM agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses of the JNL Money Market Fund to the extent necessary to limit operating expenses of the Fund (excluding brokerage expense, interest, taxes and dividend, and extraordinary expenses) to an annual rate as a percentage of average daily net assets equal to or less than the Fund’s net investment income for the year. In addition, when the Fund receives income sufficient to pay a dividend, JNAM may recapture previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses from the Fund for a period of three years following the reimbursement period. During the period ended June 30, 2014, JNAM did not recover any previously reimbursed expenses. At June 30, 2014, the amounts of potentially recoverable expenses was $236,263 that expires on December 31, 2016 and $444,245 that expires on December 31, 2017. The amount of waived expenses is recorded as expense waiver in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Rule 12b-1 Fees - JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund adopted a Distribution Plan under the provisions under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the purpose of reimbursement of certain distribution and related service expenses from the sale and distribution of each Fund’s Class A shares. Jackson National Life Distributors LLC (“JNLD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jackson and an affiliate of JNAM, is the principal underwriter of the Funds, with responsibility for promoting sales of their shares. JNLD also is the principal underwriter of the variable insurance products issued by Jackson and its subsidiaries. For the JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund, the maximum annual 12b-1 fee allowed is 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Amounts charged pursuant to the Distribution Plan are reflected as 12b-1 fees (Class A) in the Statements of Operations. Institutional Class shares of JNL Money Market Fund have no Rule 12b-1 Fees.

Deferred Compensation Plan - Effective January 1, 2007, the Funds adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan whereby a disinterested Trustee may defer the receipt of all or a portion of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the Funds, are treated as if invested and reinvested in shares of one or more affiliated funds at the discretion of the applicable Trustees. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the Funds and vary according to the total returns of the selected Funds. Liabilities related to deferred balances are included in payable for Trustees fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Increases or decreases related to the changes in value of deferred balances are included in Trustees fees set forth in the Statements of Operations.
Investments in Affiliates - JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund participates in securities lending and receives cash collateral, which is invested by the Custodian in the Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC, which is an affiliate of the Fund’s Adviser. JNAM serves as the Administrator for the Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC. The fair value and par value of the investment in the Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC is reported under Securities Lending Collateral in the Schedule of Investments. Income received from the Securities Lending Cash Collateral Fund LLC is aggregated with income from securities lending when received from the custodian. During the period ended June 30, 2014, JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund and JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund invested in a money market fund which is managed by the Adviser. The JNL Money Market Fund is offered as a cash management tool to the Funds and their affiliates and is not available for direct purchase by members of the public.

NOTE 8. BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
The Trust entered into a Syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of lenders. The Funds participate in the SCA with other funds managed by JNAM and Curian Capital, LLC, an affiliate of JNAM, in a credit facility which is available solely to finance shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. Effective June 6, 2014, the Funds may borrow up to the lesser of $450,000,000, the amount available under the facility; the limits set for borrowing by the Funds’ prospectuses and the 1940 Act; or an amount prescribed within the SCA. Prior to June 6, 2014, the amount available under the facility was $300,000,000. Also effective June 6, 2014, JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund was added to the SCA. Prior to this date, the Fund did not participate in the SCA. Interest on borrowings is payable at the Federal Funds Rate plus the amount by which the one month London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) exceeds the Federal Funds rate plus 1.00% on an annualized basis. The Funds pay an annual commitment fee of 0.075% of the available commitments and an annual administration fee to JPM Chase. These expenses are allocated to the participating Funds based on each Fund’s net assets as a percentage of the participating Funds’ total net assets. No amounts were borrowed under the facility during the period. The fees are included in other expenses in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
NOTE 9. INCOME TAX MATTERS
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under current tax law, interest, dividends and capital gains paid by the Funds are not currently taxable to shareholders when left to accumulate within a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policies.
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statements and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. Permanent differences between financial statement and federal income tax reporting are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Permanent differences may include but are not limited to the following: expired capital loss carryforwards, paydown reclassifications, non-deductible offering costs and distribution adjustments. These reclassifications have no impact on net assets.
At December 31, 2013, the Funds’ last fiscal year end, the Funds did not have any capital loss carryovers for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
At December 31, 2013, the Funds’ last fiscal year end, the Funds had no capital, currency and/or PFIC mark-to-market losses realized after October 31, 2013 (“Post-October losses”).

FASB ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FASB ASC Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold would result in the Funds recording a tax expense in the current year. FASB ASC Topic 740 requires that management evaluate the tax positions taken in returns for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, which remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and certain other jurisdictions. Management completed an evaluation of the Funds’ tax positions and based on that evaluation, determined that no provision for federal income tax was required in the Funds’ financial statements during the period ended June 30, 2014.

Additional Disclosures
June 30, 2014
Disclosure of Fund Expenses. Shareholders incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, Rule 12b-1 fees and other operating expenses. Operating expenses such as these are deducted from each Fund’s gross income and directly reduce the final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio. The examples below use the expense ratio and are intended to help the investor understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
Expenses Using Actual Fund Return. This section provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses incurred by the Fund. Use the information in this section, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. Simply divide the 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 section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses paid during this period.
Expenses Using Hypothetical 5% Return. This section provides information that can be used to compare each Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund’s expense ratio for the period is unchanged and assumes an annual 5% return before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. This example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission SEC requires all mutual funds to make the 5% calculation.
| | Expenses Using Actual Fund Return | | Expenses Using Hypothetical 5% Return | |
| | Beginning Account Value 1/01/2014 | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2014 | | Annualized Expense Ratios | | Expenses Paid During Period | | Beginning Account Value 1/01/2014 | | Ending Account Value 6/30/2014 | | Annualized Expense Ratios | | Expenses Paid During Period | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, then multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the most recent 6-month period).
Quarterly Portfolio Holdings. The Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC, and information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330. It is also available upon request from the registrant by calling the Funds toll-free at 1-866-255-1935.
Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and Proxy Voting Record. A description of the Policy of the Funds’ Adviser (and sub-advisers) used to vote proxies relating to the portfolio securities and information on how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014, are available (1) without charge, upon request by calling 1-800-392-2909; (2) on Jackson National Life Insurance Company’s or Jackson National Life Insurance Company of New York’s website at www.jackson.com; and (3) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

JNL INVESTORS SERIES TRUST (“TRUST”)
APPROVAL OF THE TRUST’S
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (“Board”) oversees the management of the Trust and its separate Funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the Trust’s advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with Jackson National Asset Management, LLC (“JNAM”) and each Fund’s Sub-Adviser(s) (“Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, collectively with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”).
At meetings on May 12, 2014 and June 2-4, 2014, the Board, including all of the independent trustees, who are not interested persons of the Funds (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (“Independent Trustees”) considered information relating to the continuation of these Agreements. In advance of the meetings, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees requested that certain information be provided to the Board relating to the Agreements. The Board received, and had the opportunity to review, this and other materials, ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. At the conclusion of the Board’s discussion, the Board approved the Agreements through June 30, 2015.
In reviewing the Agreements and considering the information, the Board was advised by outside independent legal counsel. The Board considered the factors it deemed relevant, including: (1) the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided, (2) the investment performance of each Fund, (3) cost of services of each Fund, (4) profitability data, (5) whether economies of scale may be realized and shared, in some measure, with investors as each Fund grows, and (6) other benefits that may accrue to JNAM or each Sub-Adviser through its relationship with the Trust. In its deliberations, the Board, in exercising its business judgment did not identify any single factor that alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the Agreements.
Before approving the Agreements, the Independent Trustees met in executive session with their independent legal counsel to consider the materials provided by JNAM and the terms of the Agreements. Based on its evaluation of those materials, the Board, including the interested and Independent Trustees, concluded that the Agreements are in the best interests of the shareholders of the applicable Fund. In reaching its conclusions, the Board considered numerous factors, including the following:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by JNAM and the Sub-Advisers.
For each Fund, the Board considered the services to be provided by JNAM, including but not limited to the oversight of the Sub-Advisers pursuant to the “Manager of Managers” exemption, as well as the provision of recordkeeping and compliance services to the Funds. The Board also took into account that JNAM would monitor the performance of the various organizations that would provide services to the Funds, including the Funds’ distributor, transfer agent, and custodian. With respect to JNAM’s oversight of the Sub-Advisers, the Board noted that JNAM would be responsible for screening and recommending new sub-advisers when appropriate, as well as monitoring and reporting to the Board on the performance and operations of the existing Sub-Advisers. The Board also considered the investment sub-advisory services to be provided by each Sub-Adviser. The Board noted JNAM’s evaluation of the Sub-Advisers, as well as JNAM’s recommendations, based on its review of the Sub-Advisers, to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of JNAM’s senior management that would be responsible for oversight of the Funds and each Sub-Adviser, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Sub-Advisers’ portfolio managers who would be responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund. The Board reviewed information pertaining to JNAM’s and each Sub-Adviser’s organizational structure, senior management, financial stability, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to both JNAM and each Sub-Adviser. The Board considered compliance reports about JNAM and the Sub-Advisers from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer.
Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that (i) each Fund is likely to continue to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by JNAM under the Advisory Agreement and (ii) each Fund is likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by each Sub-Adviser under the applicable Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Funds
The Board considered the performance of each Fund as described in quarterly reports prepared by JNAM. The Board noted that JNAM reviews with the Board on a quarterly basis detailed information about each Fund’s performance results and investment strategies. The Board also considered the performance of each Fund, including how the Fund performed versus the average performance of a group of comparable funds (“peer group”) selected by an independent data service and how the Fund performed versus its primary benchmark index (“benchmark”). The performance reviewed by the Board was for periods ended on December 31, 2013 (unless otherwise noted). When available, the Board considered one-, three-, five-, and ten-year performance.
JNL Money Market Fund. The Board considered that, while the Fund underperformed its benchmark for all periods, this is due mostly to low Treasury yields. The Board further considered that the Adviser is waiving a portion of its advisory fee to attain a positive total return for the Fund. The Board concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreements.
JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark and the peer group for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the Agreements.
JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund. The Board took into account that the Fund had less than one year of performance data available and considered that the Fund commenced operations in September 2013. The Board noted, therefore, that it would be prudent to allow the team more time to develop its long-term performance record with the Fund. The Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to approve the Agreements.
Costs of Services
The Board reviewed the fees to be paid to JNAM and each Fund’s Sub-Adviser. For each Fund, the Board reviewed fee and expense information as compared to that of comparable funds managed by other advisers, as well as fees charged by each Sub-Adviser to similar clients, if any. The Board also noted that JNAM does not manage any institutional accounts with which the Funds’ fees could be compared. Using information provided by an independent data service, the Board evaluated each Fund’s advisory fees compared to the average advisory fees for other funds similar in size, character and investment strategy (the “peer group”). While the Board also considered each Fund’s sub-advisory fee and compared that to the average sub-advisory fee of the peer group, the Board noted that each Fund’s sub-advisory fee would be paid by JNAM (not the Fund) and, therefore, would be neither a direct shareholder expense nor a direct influence on a Fund’s total expense ratio.
Further detail considered by the Board regarding the advisory and sub-advisory fees of each Fund is set forth below:
JNL Money Market Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s sub-advisory fee is lower than the peer group average as is the Fund’s total expense ratio (though its advisory fee is higher). The Board concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fees are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services provided.
JNL/PPM America Total Return Fund. The Board considered that the Fund’s advisory fee is two basis points higher than the peer group average and the sub-advisory fee is equal to the peer group average. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio is lower than the peer group average. The Board concluded that the advisory and sub-advisory fees are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services provided.
JNL/PPM America Low Duration Bond Fund. The Board considered that the advisory fee is one basis point higher than the peer group average and the sub-advisory fee is three basis points higher than the peer group average. The Board also noted that the total expense ratio was below that of the peer group average. The Board concluded that the advisory fees and sub-advisory fees are in the best interests of the Fund and its potential shareholders in light of the services to be provided.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether each Fund’s proposed advisory fee reflects the potential for economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. Based on information provided by JNAM, the Board noted that the fee arrangement for each Fund contains breakpoints that decrease the fee rate as assets increase. The Board concluded that the advisory fees in some measure share economies of scale with shareholders.
Other Benefits to JNAM and the Sub-Advisers
In evaluating the benefits that may accrue to JNAM through its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that JNAM and certain of its affiliates would serve the Funds in various capacities, including as adviser, administrator, transfer agent and distributor, and receive compensation from the Funds in connection with providing services to the Funds. The Board noted that each service to be provided to the Funds by JNAM or one of its affiliates would be pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board would evaluate periodically as required by law. The Board also noted that certain Sub-Advisers would pay for portions of meetings organized by the Funds’ distributor to educate wholesalers about the Fund(s) that each of those Sub-Advisers manage. The Board considered JNAM’s assertion that those meetings would not yield a profit to the Funds’ distributor, Sub-Advisers would not be required to participate in the meetings and recommendations to hire or fire Sub-Advisers would not be influenced by a Sub-Adviser’s willingness to participate in the meetings. In addition, certain affiliates of the Sub-Advisers participate in the sale of funds or insurance contracts and are compensated by the Funds’ distributor for its activities, in addition to payments for marketing and conferences. The Board reviewed the monetary values of these transactions. Lastly, certain affiliates of JNAM may receive benefits under the federal income tax laws with respect to tax deductions and credits.
In evaluating the benefits that may accrue to the Sub-Advisers through their relationship with the Fund(s), the Board noted that each Sub-Adviser may receive indirect benefits in the form of soft dollar arrangements for portfolio securities trades placed with the Funds’ assets and may also develop additional investment advisory business with JNAM, the Funds or other clients of the sub-adviser as a result of its relationship with the Fund(s).
