CEO’S LETTER

January 29, 2016 (Unaudited)

Over the past year, key divergences between the U.S. and the rest of the world and between developed market economies and emerging market economies were essentially cemented in place. While the U.S. economy improved sufficiently by the end of the year to persuade the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) to raise interest rates, slowing economic growth in China, an anemic recovery in Europe and weak commodities prices drove volatility in financial markets.

  “Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets.”

U.S. equity and bond markets posted small positive returns for 2015, even as the broader U.S. economy continued to gain strength amid low interest rates, low inflation and low energy prices. Unemployment fell steadily during the year to 5.0% in October — the lowest level since April 2008 — and remained there for the remainder of the year. U.S. wage growth, which had averaged 2% for most of the post financial crisis recovery, rose by 2.5% year-over-year in both October and December. The improving economy, along with cheap gasoline and easy credit, helped the U.S. auto industry to sell a record 17.5 million vehicles in 2015.

Throughout the year, the Fed signaled its intent to raise interest rates for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis. However, U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) fluctuated from 0.6% in the first quarter of 2015 to 3.9% in the second quarter, 2.0% in the third quarter and an estimated 0.7% for the fourth quarter. By the second half of the year, it became clear that slow or negative growth in developed and emerging markets provided a significant drag on the U.S. economy. Already weak global demand and a stronger U.S. dollar combined to curb U.S. export growth.

Meanwhile, demand for petroleum and most other commodities decreased. Prices for energy, metals, food, and precious metals fell to lows not seen since the 1990s. While a global oversupply of oil and natural gas has hurt global energy prices, slowing demand from China put pressure on prices for a range of other raw materials. The consequences of China’s shrinking appetite for commodities are sobering: In 2014, the latest available full year of data, China consumed an estimated 60% of the world’s iron ore, 50% of its copper, 48% of its aluminum, 47% of its zinc, 45% of its nickel and 12% of its crude oil.

China’s slowing economy and the accompanying financial market turmoil held investors’ attention for most of the second half of 2015. After posting year-to-date gains that reached 30%

in the first half of the year, Chinese equity prices began to fall in June. While Chinese authorities undertook a range of actions to bolster economic growth and stabilize financial markets — including a 2% devaluation of the yuan — the “Black Monday” sell-off that originated in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets on August 24^th dragged the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) down 3.9% for the day.

U.S. equity prices remained subdued through September and finally rebounded in October as the S&P 500 posted its best monthly performance since October 2011. Overall, U.S. equities markets in the second half of 2015 were marked by large gains in a few stocks, particularly those of large cap technology companies, while a large number of stocks underperformed and the median stock was flat for the year. Notably, mergers and acquisitions activity reached a record estimated total value of $4.7 billion in 2015. Also, the S&P 500 reached an all-time high on May 21^st, and ended the year just 4.08% below that mark, with December marking the 82^nd consecutive month of the bull market for U.S. equities. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the S&P 500 returned 1.38%.

Investors endured a sharp increase in financial market volatility in the second half of 2015. Selling in China’s financial markets, struggling commodities prices and uncertainty about global economic growth all fed market gyrations. The Fed removed a key uncertainty in December when it lifted interest rates for the first time in ten years. Investors may take comfort from a relatively healthy U.S. economy and the stated determination of central banks in China, the European Union and elsewhere to support both economic growth and financial markets. However, increased market volatility and the divergent performance of developed and emerging market economies may be best managed through a properly diversified portfolio and a patient approach to investing.

On behalf of everyone at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to managing your investment needs for years to come. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

With a strong fourth quarter, Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) common equities managed to generate a positive total return for 2015 in a highly volatile market period characterized by low-but-uncertain interest rates, simmering global economic and political risks and evidence of a meaningful private-public arbitrage in U.S. real estate markets. For 2015, the Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index posted a return of 4.81%, compared with a 1.38% return for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.

Stable long-term interest rates were the driver of positive returns generated by REIT senior fixed income securities during 2015, though as the year progressed, widening yield spreads were increasingly evident on new issuances for both smaller-cap companies and lower credit-rated companies. For 2015, the Wells Fargo Hybrid and Preferred Securities REIT Index posted a gain of 6.13%, and the Barclays Investment Grade REIT Index generated a gain of 1.44%.

Whether mirroring interest rate gyrations or swooning on the latest news from China, REITs behaved a lot like stocks in 2015 and less like the high quality real estate they own. This is understandable since day-to-day on the margin, REITs are not priced solely by real estate investors, but by a diverse universe of generalist stock investors, including large/small cap stock funds, hedge funds and closed end funds. Many of these investors embraced a dividend orientation to investing in REIT common equity, and within their portfolios REITs are aligned with a group of income-oriented investments that become significantly more appealing as interest rates fall and vice versa.

But volatile REIT pricing is significantly at odds with underlying real estate operating fundamentals and, more importantly, is at odds with the valuation trends evident in the larger private-direct market for real estate assets. While real estate investors are keenly focused on key underwriting inputs and considerations, the steady advance of asset values in 2015 suggests that private real estate markets, as a whole, had largely shrugged off the day-to-day gyrations and global concerns that appeared to be so vexing to the REIT market. Real estate investors appeared focused to a greater extent on a host of factors that in our opinion have not changed and that we believe together characterize a highly favorable fundamental and financial positioning for continued cash flow growth and stable valuations. These factors include low borrowing costs, accommodating debt markets, manageable levels of new construction and stable-to-improving rent/occupancy levels. In this context, we believe that U.S. and global institutional demand for U.S. real estate investments is strong, pricing is stable-to-improving, and there is a suggestion that private capital stands ready to take advantage of public market overreactions where they occur.

With the upward advance of real estate values and the general downdraft in REIT common pricing during much of 2015, we saw evidence of material arbitrage between public market pricing of REITs and the value afforded their assets by real estate investors. Seven REIT all-cash take-private transactions were announced during 2015, totaling $30.2 billion, at significant premiums to pre-announcement or pre-rumor pricing. Our research suggests that material net asset value discounts have been and continue to be a factor across a broad spectrum of the U.S. REIT market, particularly among the small-cap and mid-cap REITs. As in 2015, the mechanisms by which this arbitrage is monetized are likely to be varied, ranging from M&A (as we saw in these take-private transactions) to simply selling assets and/or buying back stock.

As we enter 2016, we believe that markets are confronted with a renewed dose of uncertainty related to a host of global economic and political issues, with oil markets and the Chinese economy likely to be front and center. It is too early to assess the impact, if any, on U.S real estate operating and/or investment fundamentals beyond some potential hot spots such as Houston. However, we remain keenly focused on everything from sovereign investment capital to real estate lending spreads for signs that could impact real estate operations and valuations.

At the end of the day, we believe that real estate stocks are not a homogenous group, and we believe investors can expect to see a dispersed pattern of performance moving forward, with absolute winners and losers under a broad range of economic scenarios. We believe that successful investing in this environment requires the resources to analyze and fully understand the underlying real estate markets, capital structures, cash flow growth opportunities, and risks under alternative economic scenarios. We also believe that it requires patience and conviction to move against the market’s momentum, which is instead often keenly focused on shorter-term earnings targets and events. These qualities are fundamental to our investment approach and we believe they will enable us to produce attractive risk-adjusted investment returns over the longer term.

FUND COMMENTARY

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN:
Fund (Select Class Shares)*	4.55%
Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index	4.81%
Barclays Investment Grade REIT Index	1.44%
U.S. Core Real Estate Composite Benchmark	4.12%
Net Assets as of 12/31/2015 (In Thousands) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .	$74,447

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The Security Capital U.S. Core Real Estate Securities Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a risk-adjusted total return over the long term by investing primarily in real estate securities.

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

The Fund (Select Class Shares) generated a positive return for the period, outperforming the U.S. Core Real Estate Securities Composite Benchmark and the Barclays Investment Grade REIT Index and underperforming the all-common equity Wilshire U.S. Real Estate Securities Index (“WILRESI”). The Fund invests in equity and fixed income securities and, therefore, its performance is compared with multiple benchmarks, including broad-based equity and fixed income benchmarks as well as a blended composite benchmark.

The Fund’s real estate investment trust (“REIT”) common equity holdings represented 61.8% of the portfolio and generated strong returns for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Among the Fund’s common stock holdings, the hotel and shopping center sectors detracted from performance relative to the

WILRESI. Notably, the Fund’s underweight position in industrial investments, due to the Fund manager’s skeptical stance on the longer-term real estate characteristics of data center assets, also detracted from relative performance. The Fund’s holdings in the office, mall and self storage sectors contributed to performance relative to the WILRESI.

The Fund’s investments in preferred equity and debt, representing 21.6% and 11.8% of the portfolio, respectively, generated positive returns for the twelve month reporting period. This reflected wide yield spreads among preferred equity and the Fund’s positioning in debt holdings with shorter maturities.

HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?

The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up process to inform both security selection and security type (common equity, preferred equity or debt). They relied on proprietary cash flow models, extensive field work and internal real estate market research to target what they believed to be attractive long-term investment opportunities, emphasizing quality real estate portfolios, flexible balance sheets and transparent business models.

(d) Includes earnings credits and interest expense, if applicable, each of which is less than 0.01% unless otherwise noted.

(e) Portfolio turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of total purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the reporting period by the monthly average value of portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. Excluded from both the numerator and denominator are amounts relating to derivatives and securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less.

(f) Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.

(g) Calculation of net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share do not correlate with the Fund’s net realized and unrealized gains (losses) presented on the Statement of Operations due to the timing of capital transactions in relation to the fluctuating market values of the Fund’s investments.

(h) Commencement of operations.

(i) Amount rounds to less than $0.01.

(j) Certain non-recurring expenses incurred by the Fund were not annualized for the period ended December 31, 2011.

(k) The net investment income (loss) ratios for Class A and Select Class are disproportionate due to the timing of shareholder capital transactions and when the Fund earned income over the period.

(l) Ratios are disproportionate amoung the classes due to the size of net assets and fixed expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015

1. Organization

JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.

The following is a separate fund of the Trust (the “Fund”) covered by this report:

Fund	Classes Offered	Diversified/Non-Diversified
Security Capital U.S. Core Real Estate Securities Fund	Class A, Class C, Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class	Non-Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek a risk-adjusted total return over the long-term by investing primarily in real estate securities.

Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R5, Class R6 and Select Class Shares. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different sub-transfer agency, distribution and shareholder servicing fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.

A. Valuation of Investments — The valuation of investments is in accordance with GAAP and the Fund’s valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at such unadjusted quoted prices and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.

JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (the “Administrator”) has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Fund’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight, including but not limited to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the AVC and the Board.

Fixed-income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed-income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.

Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Fund are calculated on a valuation date. Investments in open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

• Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

• Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.

• Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

18 J.P. MORGAN SPECIALTY FUNDS DECEMBER 31, 2015

The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”) (amounts in thousands):

	Level 1 Quoted prices		Level 2 Other significant observable inputs		Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs		Total
Investments in Securities
Common Stocks	$	47,160	$	—	$	—	$	47,160
Corporate Bonds		—		6,050		—		6,050
Preferred Stocks		16,279		—		—		16,279
Short-Term Investment
Investment Company		1,862		—		—		1,862
Total Investments in Securities	$	65,301	$	6,050	$	—	$	71,351

There were no transfers among any levels during the year ended December 31, 2015.

B. 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 which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.

To the extent such information is publicly available, the Fund records distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Fund adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

C. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged directly to that fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective funds. In calculating the NAV of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.

Sub-transfer agent fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the sub-transfer agent fees charged to each class of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2015 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Class A		Class C			Class R5		Class R6		Select Class		Total
$	1	$	—	(a)	$	—	$	—	$	7	$	8

(a) Amount rounds to less than $1,000.

D. Federal Income Taxes — The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The 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 capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2015, no liability for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

E. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are generally declared and paid quarterly and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):

Paid-in-Capital	Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net  investment income		Accumulated net realized gains (losses)
$—	$	5	$	(5	)

The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to investments in real estate investment trusts.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (continued)

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, Security Capital Research & Management Incorporated (the “Adviser”) acts as the investment adviser to the Fund. The Adviser is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management Holdings Inc. The Adviser supervises the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.60%.

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the first $25 billion of the average daily net assets of all funds in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex covered by the Administration Agreement (excluding certain funds of funds and money market funds) and 0.075% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion of all such funds. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the effective rate was 0.08% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund’s sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Trust’s exclusive underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Fund’s shares.

The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund shall pay distribution fees, including payments to the Distributor, at annual rates of 0.25% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C Shares, respectively.

In addition, the Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from the redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Distributor retained the following amounts (in thousands):

Front-End Sales Charge		CDSC
$	1	$	—

D. Shareholder Servicing Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with the Distributor under which the Distributor provides certain support services to the shareholders. The Class R6 Shares do not participate in the Shareholder Servicing Agreement. For performing these services, the Distributor receives a fee that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

Class A			Class C			Class R5			Select Class
	0.25	%		0.25	%		0.05	%		0.25	%

The Distributor has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Fund under which the Distributor will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. For these services, the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations. Payments to the custodian may be reduced by credits earned by the Fund, based on uninvested cash balances held by the custodian. Such earnings credits, if any, are presented separately on the Statement of Operations.

Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

F. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Administrator and Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board’s deferred compensation plan) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

Class A			Class C			Class R5			Class R6			Select Class
	1.18	%		1.68	%		0.73	%		0.68	%		0.93	%

The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the year ended December 31, 2015 and are in place until at least April 30, 2016.

20 J.P. MORGAN SPECIALTY FUNDS DECEMBER 31, 2015

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Administrator and Distributor waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Fund as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and reimbursed expenses in future years.

Contractual Waivers
Administration		Shareholder Servicing		Total		Contractual Reimbursements
$	72	$	12	$	84	$	140

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and the Distributor, as shareholder servicing agent, waive fees in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund. A portion of the waiver and/or reimbursement is voluntary.

The amount of waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2015 was approximately $11,000.

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and the Distributor. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.

The Board appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with Federal securities regulations. The Fund, along with other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statement of Operations.

The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the Independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund may have purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate are affiliated with the Adviser.

The Fund may use related party broker-dealers. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Fund did not incur any brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund 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, 2015, 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)
$69,567	$	83,271

During the year ended December 31, 2015, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.

5. Federal Income Tax Matters

For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investment securities held at December 31, 2015 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Aggregate Cost	Gross Unrealized Appreciation		Gross Unrealized Depreciation		Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
$63,084	$	8,934	$	667	$	8,267

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 year ended December 31, 2015 was as follows (amounts in thousands):

Ordinary Income	Net Long-Term Capital Gains		Total Distributions Paid
$1,760	$	2,634	$	4,394

DECEMBER 31, 2015 J.P. MORGAN SPECIALTY FUNDS 21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 (continued)

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows (amounts in thousands):

Ordinary Income		Net Long-Term Capital Gains		Total Distributions Paid
$	2,179	$	1,726	$	3,905

As of December 31, 2015, the estimated components of net assets (excluding paid-in-capital) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Current Distributable Long-Term Capital Gain or (Tax Basis Capital Loss Carryover)		Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
$	525	$	8,267

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of wash sale loss deferrals and deferred REIT dividends.

6. Borrowings

The Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund 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 the 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 and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are both investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12 (d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).

In addition, the Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. 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 the 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 7, 2016.

The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund or from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility at December 31, 2015, or at any time during the year then ended.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

As of December 31, 2015 the Fund three shareholders who collectively own shares representing 63.5% of the Fund’s net assets. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.

Because the Fund may invest a substantial portion of their assets in REITs, the Fund may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults by tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders, and certain REITs have self-liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time.

The Fund is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed-income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by the economic and political developments in a specific industry or region.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and the Shareholders of Security Capital U.S. Core Real Estate Securities Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule 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 Security Capital U.S. Core Real Estate Securities Fund (a separate Fund of JPMorgan Trust I) (the “Fund”) at December 31, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, 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 Fund’s 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, 2015 by correspondence with the transfer agent, custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES

(Unaudited)

Hypothetical $1,000 Investment

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2015, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses

For each Class of the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by

$1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory contract annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in person in June and August 2015, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 19, 2015.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Fund received from the Adviser. This information included the Fund’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Trustees have engaged an independent management consulting firm (“independent consultant”) to report on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds at each of the Trustees’ regular meetings. The Adviser also periodically provides comparative information regarding the Fund’s expense ratios and those of its peer group. In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including, with respect to the Fund, performance and expense information compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data. The independent consultant also provided additional analyses of the performance of the Fund in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreement, as well as a risk/return assessment as compared the Fund’s objectives and peers. Before voting on the proposed Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the proposed Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the proposed Advisory Agreement in executive sessions with independent legal counsel

at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. Set forth below is a summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund over the course of the year. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions. The Trustees determined that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administrative services provided by JPMorgan Funds Management, Inc. (“JPMFM”), an affiliate of the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Fund gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.

28 J.P. MORGAN SPECIALTY FUNDS DECEMBER 31, 2015

Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this data. The Trustees recognized that this data is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser.

The Trustees also considered that JPMFM and JPMDS, affiliates of the Adviser, earn fees from the Fund for providing administrative and shareholder services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Fund’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Fund, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Fund and those realized by the Adviser as

assets increase. The Trustees noted that the proposed investment advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not contain breakpoints, but that the fees remain competitive with peer funds. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has implemented fee waivers and expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allows the Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from the Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser has shared economies of scale by adding or enhancing services to the Fund over time, noting the Adviser’s substantial investments in its business in support of the Fund, including investments in trading systems and technology (including cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, additions to analyst and portfolio management teams, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees also 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 Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Fund at competitive levels. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Fund and its shareholders.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer

The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients

The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional separate accounts and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited) (continued)

Investment Performance

The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance for the Fund in a report prepared by Lipper. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Lipper investment classification and objective (the “Universe Group”) by total return for the applicable one- and three-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Lipper’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe Group. The Lipper materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees and Adviser determined that the Universe Group for the Fund is less meaningful and the independent consultant prepared an analysis of the Fund across various risk and return metrics including standard deviation, Sharpe ratio, and total/excess return versus various indices and a customized peer group of funds with similar portfolio objectives (as selected by the independent consultant). The Lipper performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to the Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for both Class A and Select Class shares for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2014. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the

Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was reasonable.

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios

The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared that rate to the information prepared by Lipper concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Lipper category as the Fund. The Trustees recognized that Lipper reported the Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for the Fund. The Trustees considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements currently in place for the Fund and considered the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net advisory fee for both Class A and Select Class shares was in the first quintile, and that the actual total expenses for Class A and Select Class shares were in the first and second quintiles, respectively, of the Universe Group. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

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.

If the registrant has, during the period covered by the report, granted a waiver, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the 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 third party, that relates to one or more items set forth in paragraph (b) of this Item, the registrant must briefly describe the nature of the waiver, the name of the person to whom the waiver was granted, and the date of the waiver.

(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.

(i) Accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the issuer; or

(ii) Be an “interested person” of the investment company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Act (15 U.S.C.
80a-2(a)(19)).

The audit committee financial expert is Mitch Merin. He is not an “interested person” of the Registrant and is also “independent” as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for purposes of audit committee financial expert determinations.

(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have

been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.

(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

2015 – 0.0%

2014 – 0.0%

(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

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 registered public accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were:

2015 - $31.8 million

2014 - $31.8 million

(h) Disclose whether the registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the independent public registered accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by the independent public registered accounting firm to the Registrant or to Service Affiliates that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.
