JPMorgan Multi-Manager Funds
President's Letter (Unaudited) January 10, 2006
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for the JPMorgan Multi-Manager Funds. Inside, you'll find information detailing the performance of the Funds for the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, along with reports from the Portfolio Managers.
Stocks Produce Modest Gains
The U.S. equity market overcame several challenges during the reporting period, including rising interest rates, surging oil prices, a devastating hurricane season and geopolitical issues. While these factors often overshadowed solid corporate profit growth, the overall market ultimately produced positive returns during the year.
As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) continued to raise interest rates at a measured pace in an attempt to ward off inflation. After five rate hikes in 2004, the FOMC raised rates eight additional times in 2005. All told, short-term rates moved to 4.25% by the end of the period. Despite these actions and the destruction inflicted by hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, the U.S. economy continued to expand at a brisk pace in 2005. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) was 3.8% in the first quarter of the year. Higher oil prices, which surpassed $70 a barrel, were cited as a reason for a fall in GDP to 3.1% in the second quarter of 2005. However, the economy demonstrated its resiliency by expanding 4.1% in the third quarter.
Mixed Stock Performance
The broad stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 4.91% during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2005. While there were hopes for another strong rally in the fourth quarter of the year — similar to the 12.18% and 9.23% returns in the fourth quarters of 2003 and 2004, respectively — this did not come to pass in 2005. Concerns over further rate hikes by the FOMC and inflationary pressures tempered the market's gains at the end of the year. Elsewhere during the 12-month period, mid-capitalization stocks generated significant returns, with the Russell Midcap Index gaining 12.65%. Large-capitalization stocks outperformed their small-capitalization counterparts over the period, as the Russell 1000 Index and Russell 2000 Index returned 6.27% and 4.55%, respectively.
1
Outlook
As we begin the new year, the outlook for equity markets is somewhat mixed. Positives include a solid economy, relatively lower oil prices and the possibility of the FOMC ending its rate hike campaign. On the other hand, corporate profits are expected to decelerate in 2006. In addition, should inflation increase, the FOMC may continue to raise rates. Given these uncertainties, investors should take a long-term approach with their investments and maintain a diversified portfolio.
On behalf of us all at JPMorgan Asset Management, thank you for your confidence and the continued trust you have placed in us. We look forward to serving your investment needs for many years to come. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the JPMorgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.
Sincerely yours,

Q: How did the Fund perform?
A: The JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, which seeks long-term capital appreciation from a blend of small-cap growth managers, rose by 4.38%, in the 12-month period ended December 31, 2005.* This compares to an appreciation of 4.15% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index.
Q: Why did the Fund perform this way?
A: Small-cap growth stocks rose with the broad market in 2005, achieving their greatest gains in the second half of the year as evidence that the economy had entered a solid expansion phase increased investor optimism. Notably, this was the first time in six years that the broad small-cap market underperformed large caps. Rising energy prices coupled with the Federal Reserve raising interest rates held back both the economy and the equity market in the first half of the year.
The Fund outperformed due to strong stock selection in the healthcare, energy and consumer discretionary sectors, while the financial and technology sectors detracted from performance.
Among the leading contributors to performance were energy stocks. Patterson-UTI, an onshore contract driller, announced record earnings due to strong demand for its drilling rigs as energy companies stepped up exploration activities. Quicksilver Resources, an exploration and production company, reported strong earnings growth due to sustained high energy prices, which boosted the value of its reserves as well as its oil and gas output. In healthcare, Pediatrix Medical Group, a provider of neonatal intensive care units, delivered strong year-on-year earnings and revenue growth due to continued national expansion.
In technology, SFBC International, a provider of contract clinical research trials, fell as media reports questioned the company's consent process in warning drug trial participants of the full medical risks. Synaptics, a leading designer of user interface solutions, retrenched early in the year after Apple sought out a competitor for touch-sensitive pads used in Apple notebook computers and iPod music players. In financials, UCBH Holdings, a bank that specializes in serving the Chinese community, performed poorly after reporting weaknesses in its internal financial controls.
Among the Fund's underlying sub-advisors, all four – BlackRock, Oberweis, Seligman and UBS – outperformed the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index.
Q: How was the Fund managed?
A: The Fund was diversified across its four sub-advisors, with no change in managers during the year. All four managers invested in small-cap growth stocks, with the potential to produce strong, long-term gains and below-market volatility. With consumer spending under pressure, the portfolio managers sought investments in the corporate sector, which remained robust with record high earnings growth and strong balance sheets.

Q: How did the Fund perform?
A: The JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund, which seeks long-term capital appreciation from a blend of small-cap value managers, rose by 6.87%, in the 12-month period ended December 31, 2005.* This compares with an appreciation of 4.71% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index.
Q: Why did the Fund perform this way?
A: Small-cap value stocks rose with the broad market in 2005, achieving their greatest gains in the second half of the year as evidence that the economy had entered a solid expansion phase increased investor optimism. Notably, this was the first time in six years that the broad small-cap market underperformed large caps. Rising energy prices coupled with the Federal Reserve raising interest rates held back both the economy and the equity market in the first half of the year.
The Fund outperformed due to strong stock selection in the energy, healthcare and industrial sectors, while the technology and materials sectors detracted from performance.
Within energy, exploration and production companies, such as Chesapeake Energy, benefited from strong, sustained high oil and gas prices. In healthcare, Pharmaceutical Products Development, a manager of clinical trials for drug makers, issued a one-time dividend and announced plans to pay a quarterly dividend going forward. Coupled with strong revenue growth, this led to appreciation in the stock price. In industrials, Administaff, the recruitment specialist, gained from continued demand among small and medium-sized businesses for temporary staffing, along with benefits and payroll administration.
Among detractors, Cooper Companies, a maker of specialty healthcare products, fell as management reduced guidance for full-year earnings. Nabi Biopharmaceuticals declined on news that its staphylococcus-fighting drug had failed to prove its effectiveness. Nabi has ceased development of the drug. In the consumer discretionary sector, K2, a maker of sporting goods, fell back after reducing profit forecasts.
Q: How was the Fund managed?
A: At the underlying manager level, we withdrew our allocation from ICM Asset Management, in the fourth quarter, due to personnel changes at the firm. We replaced this manager with two sub-advisors – First Quadrant and Vaughan Nelson – which have investment styles that complement those of the existing sub-advisors, JPMorgan Asset Management and Earnest Partners. First Quadrant applies a quantitative process to research company-specific and macroeconomic factors to better exploit recurring inefficiencies in stock prices. Vaughan Nelson is a fundamental, deep-value manager that looks to identify catalysts for unlocking shareholder value. In comparison, JPMorgan Asset Management employs a quantitative process with tight risk controls, while Earnest is a relative value manager. An additional benefit is that both of the new sub-advisors have capa city for new investment flows.

JPMorgan Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund and JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund (collectively, the "Funds") are series of JPMorgan Fleming Series Trust (the "Trust"), which was organized on December 24, 2002, as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments — Listed securities are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded. The value of National Market System equity securities quoted by the NASDAQ Stock Market shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Unlisted securities are valued at the last sale price provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Listed securities for which the latest sales prices are not available are valued at the mean of the latest bid and ask price as of the closing of the primary exchange where such securities are normally traded. Fixed income securities with a maturity of 61 days or more held by the Funds will be valued each day based on readily available market quotations received from third party broker-dealers of comparable securities or independent or affiliated pricing s ervices approved by the Board of Trustees. Such pricing services and broker-dealers will generally provide bid-side quotations. Generally, short-term investments maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Futures, options and other derivatives are valued on the basis of available market quotations. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at such investment company's current day closing net asset value per share.
Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which market quotations do not represent the value at the time of pricing (including certain illiquid securities) are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Trustees. Trading in securities on most foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed before the close of the domestic market and may also take place on days when the domestic market is closed. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees, the Funds apply fair value pricing on a daily basis for all non-U.S. and non-Canadian equity securities held in their portfolios by utilizing
42
JPMorgan Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless a Fund's adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analyses and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets, in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value.
B. Restricted and Illiquid Securities — The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is a security which cannot be disposed of promptly (within seven days) and in the usual course of business without a loss, and includes repurchase agreements maturing in excess of seven days, time deposits with a withdrawal penalty, non-negotiable instruments and instruments for which no market exists. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.
C. Futures Contracts — The Funds may enter into futures contracts for the delayed delivery of securities at a fixed price at some future date or for the change in the value of a specified financial index over a predetermined time period.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in fair value of the position. Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed out, at which time the Funds realize a gain or loss.
Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds' credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade.
As of December 31, 2005, Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund had outstanding futures contracts as listed on its Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
D. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld (if any) is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds first learn of the dividend.
43
JPMorgan Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Funds record distributions received in excess of income 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 components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
E. Allocation of Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund while expenses attributable to more than one Fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective Funds.
F. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("the Code"), applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary.
G. Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.
H. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 (amounts in thousands):
Paid-in capital | Accumulated undistributed/ (overdistributed) net investment income | Accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments | |||||||||||||
Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund | $ | (2,507 | ) | $ | 2,499 | $ | 8 | ||||||||
Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund | 2 | 264 | (266 | ) |
The reclassification for the Funds relates primarily to the character for tax purposes of current year net operating losses and distributions received from investments in REITs.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Advisory Fees — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") acts as the investment advisor to the Funds. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Asset Management Holdings, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. ("JPMorgan"). The Advisor allocates portions of the Funds' assets to sub-advisors and is responsible for monitoring and coordinating the overall management of the Funds and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual fee rate of 0.85% based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets.
On May 20, 2005, shareholders of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund approved a sub-advisory agreement by and between the Advisor and BlackRock Advisor, Inc. ("BlackRock").
BlackRock, J.&W. Seligman and Co. Incorporated ("Seligman"), UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") and Oberweis Asset Management, Inc. ("Oberweis") are the subadvisors for the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund. Each is responsible for the day-to-day investment decisions of its portion of this Fund. The allocation of the assets of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund among BlackRock, Seligman, UBS Global AM and Oberweis is determined by the Advisor, subject to the review of the Board of Trustees. At December 31, 2005, the allocation of assets was 23%, 20%, 30%, and 27%, respectively. The Advisor, not the Fund, will pay the subadvisers at an annual rate of 0.55% of the average daily allocated net assets for their services.
On October 14, 2005, shareholders of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund approved sub-advisory agreements by and between the Advisor and First Quadrant, L.P. ("First Quadrant"), Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. ("Vaughan Nelson") and Advisory Research, Inc. ("Advisory Research").
The sub-advisory agreement with ICM Asset Management, Inc. was terminated effective October 16, 2005. The sub-advisory agreement with Advisory Research was terminated effective November 2, 2005.
EARNEST Partners, LLC ("EARNEST"), First Quadrant and Vaughan Nelson are the sub-advisors for the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund. The Advisor also directly manages a portion of the Fund. Each is responsible for the day-to-day investment decisions of its portion of this Fund. The allocation of the assets of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund among EARNEST, First Quadrant, Vaughan Nelson and the Advisor is determined by the Advisor, subject to the review of the Board of Trustees. At December 31, 2005, the allocation of assets was 40%, 11%, 10% and 39% respectively. The Advisor, not the Fund, will pay the subadvisers at an annual rate of 0.55% of the average daily allocated net assets for their services.
The Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates. Advisory, administrative and shareholder servicing fees are waived and/or reimbursed from the Funds in an amount sufficient to offset any doubling up of these fees related to each Fund's investment in an affiliated money market fund to the extent required by law.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
B. Administration Fees — Effective February 19, 2005, pursuant to an Administration Agreement, JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the "Administrator"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, began providing certain administration services to the Funds.

Prior to February 19, 2005, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), a wholly owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, served as the Funds' Administrator subject to the same fee agreements.
Effective July 1, 2005, J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. ("JPMIS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, began serving as the Funds' Sub-administrator. For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMIS receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator. Prior to July 1, 2005, BISYS Fund Services, L.P. ("BISYS") served as the Funds' Sub-administrator. For its services as Sub-administrator, BISYS received a portion of the fees paid to the Administrator.
C. Distribution Fees — Effective February 19, 2005, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, began serving as the Trust's exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares.

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — Effective February 19, 2005, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets.
The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide administrative and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Funds under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.
Prior to February 19, 2005, JPMCB served as the Funds' Shareholder Servicing Agent. JPMCB was subject to the same fee rates disclosed above.
E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services for the Funds. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in custodian and accounting fees in the Statement of Operations. The custodian and accounting fees may be reduced by credits earned by each Fund, based on uninvested cash

balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits are presented separately in the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts is presented as interest expense in the Statement of Operations.
F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Advisor, Administrator and Distributor (as the Funds' shareholder servicing agent) have contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.40% of the Funds' respective average daily net assets.
The contractual expense limitation agreements were in effect for the year ended December 31, 2005. The expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least April 30, 2006.
G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor, the Administrator, and the Distributor. Such officers receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
During the period, certain Funds may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Advisor.
The Funds may use related party brokers/ dealers. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund and Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund incurred approximately $2 and $1, respectively (amounts in thousands) in brokerage commissions with brokers/ dealers affiliated with JPMorgan.
The SEC has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments subject to certain conditions.
4. Investment Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2005, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Purchases (excluding U.S. Government) | Sales (excluding U.S. Government) | Purchases of U.S. Government | Sales of U.S. Government | ||||||||||||||||

5. Federal Income Tax Matters
For Federal income tax purposes, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of the investment securities at December 31, 2005, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Aggregate cost | Gross unrealized appreciation | Gross unrealized depreciation | Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | ||||||||||||||||
Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund | $ | 245,618 | $ | 57,279 | $ | (9,068 | ) | $ | 48,211 | ||||||||||
Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund | 286,557 | 88,408 | (8,992 | ) | 79,416 |
For the Funds, the difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to wash sale loss deferrals.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
Year Ended December 31, 2005 | |||||||||||||||
Ordinary income | Long-term capital gain | Total distributions | |||||||||||||
Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund | $ | 1,915 | $ | 15,094 | $ | 17,009 | |||||||||

Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund | 7,650 | 8,940 | 16,590 |
At December 31, 2005, the components of net assets (excluding paid in capital) on a tax basis were as follows:
Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund | Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund | ||||||||||
Current distributable ordinary income | $ | — | $ | 358 | |||||||

Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 48,211 | $ | 79,416 |
For Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, the differences between book and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily attributable to wash sales and REIT basis adjustments. For Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund, the differences between book and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily attributable to wash sales, REIT basis adjustment and mark to market of futures.

6. Borrowings
Effective February 19, 2005, the Funds began relying upon an exemptive order ("Order") permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility ("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 JPMorgan Trust II (formerly One Group Mutual Funds) and may be relied upon by the Funds because they are investment companies in the same "group of investment comp anies" (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the Investment Company Act of 1940).
In addition, effective February 18, 2005, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the JPMorgan Funds including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until November 21, 2006.
Prior to February 18, 2005, the Funds were allowed to borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes, pursuant to a Line of Credit dated April 17, 2003. This agreement enabled the Funds to participate with other JPMorgan Funds in a line of credit with JPMCB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks, which permitted borrowings up to $250 million, collectively. Interest was charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an annual rate equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The Funds also paid a commitment fee of 0.09% per annum on the average daily amount of the available commitment, which was allocated on a pro-rata basis to the Funds. This agreement was terminated as of February 18, 2005.
The Funds had no outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2005, or at any time during the year ended.
7. 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, as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
From time to time, the Funds' investment adviser or an affiliate may exercise discretion on behalf of certain of its clients with respect to the purchase or sale of a significant portion of the Funds' outstanding shares. Investment activities on behalf of these shareholders could impact the Funds.
Because each Sub-advisor makes investment decisions independently, it is possible that the stock selection process of the Fund's exposure to a given stock, industry or market capitalization could unintentionally be smaller or larger than intended.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of JPMorgan Fleming Series Trust
and Shareholders of JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund and JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund and JPMorgan Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund (each a portfolio of JPMorgan Fleming Series Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at December 31, 2005, 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 then ended and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period February 28, 2003 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment at Beginning of Period
December 31, 2005 (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in the Funds at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2005, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2005.
Actual Expenses
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 Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determi ne the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

Board Approval of Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements
(unaudited)
The Board of Trustees met in person in December 2005, to consider the continuation of the investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements, as applicable (together, the "Advisory Agreements") for the Funds whose annual report is contained herein. At the meeting, the Board reviewed and considered performance and expense information for each Fund, as well as information about the adviser to each Fund, which is J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the "Adviser") and certain sub-advisers to the Funds, which are, in the case of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund, J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. and in the case of Multi-Manager Small Cap Value, Earnest Partners, LLC (the "Sub-Advisers" and together with the Adviser, the "Advisers"). The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the '40 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreements or any of their affiliates, approved the Advisory Agreements on December 15, 2005.
The Trustees, as part of their ongoing oversight of the investment advisory arrangements for the Funds, receive from the Adviser and review on a regular basis over the course of the year, information regarding the performance of the Funds. This information includes the Funds' performance against the Funds' peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of each Fund's performance. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Funds' expense ratios and those of funds in the Funds' peer groups. In addition, in preparation for the December meeting, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper"), an independent provider of investment company data. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser and with counsel to the T rust and received a memorandum from independent counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the proposed approval. The Trustees also discussed the proposed approval in private sessions with independent counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. During the course of the meeting the Trustees requested and received additional information from the Funds' management.
The Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between each Fund and its applicable Advisers, as provided in the Advisory Agreements was fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment and that the continuance of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. On this basis, the Trustees unanimously approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreements. In reaching their determinations with respect to approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant, including the following:
1. comparative performance information;
2. the nature, extent and quality of investment and administrative services rendered by the Adviser and its affiliates and, where applicable, the Sub-Advisers;
3. payments received by the Adviser and its affiliates in respect of each Fund and
all Funds as a group;
4. the costs borne by, and profitability of, the Adviser and its affiliates in
providing services to each Fund and to all Funds as a group, and financial information provided by the Sub-Advisers;
5. comparative fee and expense data for each Fund and other investment
companies with similar investment objectives;
6. the potential for the Funds to realize economies of scale for the benefit of
investors as assets grow;
7. portfolio turnover rates of each Fund compared to other investment
companies with similar investment objectives;
57
JPMorgan Funds
Board Approval of Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements
(unaudited) (continued)
8. fall-out benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates and to the Sub-Advisers from
their relationships with the Funds;
9. fees charged by the Adviser to other clients with similar investment objectives;
10. the professional experience and qualifications of each Fund's portfolio
management teams and other senior personnel of the Advisers; and
11. the terms of the Advisory Agreements.
In their deliberations, each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund.
The matters discussed below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by each Adviser
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee Meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Advisers' senior management and expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Advisers. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team at the Adviser primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, including oversight of the Sub-Advisers, and the infrastructure supporting the team. The quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. ("JPMF"), an affiliate of the Adviser, was also considered. The Board of Trustees also considered its knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisers to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates and the Sub-Advisers, the commitment of the Advisers to provide high quality service to the Funds, the benefits to the Funds of the integration of the infrastructure supporting the heritage One Group and JPMorgan Funds, their overall confidence in the Advisers' integrity and the Adviser's responsiveness to concerns raised by them, including the Adviser's willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Funds.
Based on these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Advisers.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser
At the request of the Trustees, the Adviser provided information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and certain affiliates in providing services to each of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data, which included profitability of the Adviser and Administrator on both a separate and combined basis. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and is based on a limited period of time because of the combination of the entities. In addition, the Trustees recognized that this data represents the Adviser's determination of its and its affiliates revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comp arative information is not generally publicly
58
JPMorgan Funds
Board Approval of Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements
(unaudited) (continued)
available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers' operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser of each of the Investment Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding "fall-out" or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Adviser discontinued third-party soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities transactions it executes for the Funds but that certain Sub-Advisers continued to benefit from such soft dollar arrangements. The Trustees also considered that JPMF, an affiliate of the Adviser, earns fees from the Fund for providing administrative services. These fees were shown in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank for custody and fund accounting and other related services.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Funds does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints and the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable in light of the fee waivers and expense limitations that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratio at competitive levels. The Trustees also recognized that the fee schedule for the administrative services provided by JPMF does include a fee breakpoint, which is tied to the overall non-money market fund assets, advised by the Adviser, and that the Funds were benefiting from that breakpoint. The Trustees concluded that shareholders benefited from the lower expense ratios which resulted from these factors.
Fees Relative to Adviser's Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature, extent and quality of services provided to other clients of the Adviser for investment products with comparable investment goals and strategies and the fee rates paid by these clients. The Trustees also considered the complexity of investment management for the Funds relative to the Adviser's other clients and the differences in the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the different clients. The Trustees noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds in comparison to those charged to the Adviser's other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees received and considered relative performance and expense information for each Fund in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included each Fund's ranking within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the "Universe Group") by total return for the one-year and two-year periods. The Trustees also considered each Fund's performance in comparison to the performance results of a group (the "Peer Group") of funds. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper's methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund's Peer Group and Universe Group. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund's performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for each Fund at regular Board meetings. The review of the Lipper reports and the actions taken as a result of th e review of each Fund's investment performance is summarized below:

Board Approval of Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements
(unaudited) (continued)
The Trustees noted that the performance of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund for the one-year and two-year time periods was within a reasonable range of its Universe Group median.
The Trustees noted that the performance of the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund for the one-year and two-year time periods was better than that of its Universe Group median.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser by comparing that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Funds. The Trustees noted that the Funds make no additional payment to the Sub-Advisers and that the Sub-Advisers are compensated for their services by the Adviser. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Funds' management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee rate and the administration fee. The Trustees also considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for each Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking waivers and reimbursements into account. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other fun ds. The review of the Lipper reports and the actions taken as a result of the review of each Fund's advisory fees and expense ratios is summarized below:
The Trustees noted that although the Multi-Manager Small Cap Growth Fund's contractual advisory fee was in the fourth quintile of the Fund's Peer Group, the net advisory fee rate and total expenses each were within a reasonable range of the Fund's Universe Group median and concluded that the advisory fee was acceptable.
The Trustees noted that although the Multi-Manager Small Cap Value Fund's contractual advisory fee was in the fifth quintile of the Fund's Peer Group, the net advisory fee rate and total expenses each were within a reasonable range of the Fund's Universe Group median and concluded that the advisory fee was acceptable under the circumstances.

Disclose whether, as of the end of the period covered by the report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party. If the registrant has not adopted such a code of ethics, explain why it has not done so.
The registrant must briefly describe the nature of any amendment, during the period covered by the report, to a provision of its code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party, and that relates to any element of the code of ethics definition enumerated in paragraph (b) of this Item. The registrant must file a copy of any such amendment as an exhibit pursuant to Item 12(a)(1), unless the registrant has elected to satisfy paragraph (f) of this Item by positing its code of ethics on its website pursuant to paragraph (f)(2) of this Item, or by undertaking to provide its code of ethics to any person without charge, upon request, pursuant to paragraph (f)(3) of this Item.

(i) Has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee; or
(ii) Does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.
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

2005 - $94,704
(b) Disclose, under the caption Audit-Related Fees, the aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item. Registrants shall describe the nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.
AUDIT-RELATED FEES (On a calendar year basis)
2004 – $9,397,000
2005 – $10,110,000
The audit-related fees consist of aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services by the independent public registered accounting firm 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 investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant (“Service Affiliates”), that were reasonably related to the performance of the annual audit of the Registrant’s financial statements.

(d) Disclose, under the caption All Other Fees, the aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item. Registrants shall describe the nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.
ALL OTHER FEES
2004 – Not applicable
2005 – 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 will pre-approve 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 will annually review and pre-approve 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 will add to, or subtract 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.
2004 – Not applicable
2005 – 84%
(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.
None.
(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 public registered accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were $25.3 million in 2004 and $19.1 million in 2005.
(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.
ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.
(a) If the registrant is a listed issuer as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3), state whether or not the registrant has a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). 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.
(b) If applicable, provide the disclosure required by Rule 10A-3(d) under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3(d)) regarding an exemption from the listing standards for all audit committees.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

Not applicable.
ITEM 10. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
Describe any material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors, where those changes were implemented after the registrant last provided disclosure in response to the requirements of Item 7(d)(2)(ii)(G) of Schedule 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-101), or this Item.
Not applicable.
ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded, based on their evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report, that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time
periods and that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant in the reports that it files or submits on Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Disclose any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
