Letter to ShareholdersDecember 14, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
While the U.S. economy generally performed well this year, global economic growth has been uneven in the face of elevated interest rates and heightened geopolitical tensions. Equity markets largely outperformed fixed income markets for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, though rising yields lifted investor demand for certain types of bonds.
|
"The strong performance of financial markets in 2023 created wider differences in equity valuations that may provide attractive opportunities for investors. Additionally, interest rate reductions next year could benefit high-quality fixed income investments.” — Brian S. Shlissel
|
Inflationary pressures have receded sufficiently so far that the U.S. Federal Reserve declined to raise interest rates since September 2023 and signaled it may reduce rates three times in 2024. Both the European Central Bank and the Bank of England also declined to raise interest rates in the third quarter of 2023. Financial markets largely responded positively to the central banks’ policy stances, though the view that interest rates could remain “higher for longer” appeared to temper investor optimism.
Overall, corporate earnings and revenues within developed markets generally continued to grow through the first three quarters of 2023, though certain surveys indicated many businesses anticipate demand to slow next year. Emerging markets experienced a wider dispersion in economic performance and corporate results, partly due to slower economic growth in China, post-pandemic changes to global supply chains and elevated debt servicing costs.
While some assert that the risk of economic recession has receded in 2023, the risk remains. China’s struggling property sector could further undermine economic growth and spill over to certain commodity exporting nations. Additionally, there is no clear timing with regard to the resolution of the war in Ukraine, which continues to impact global energy and grain supplies. The Israel-Hamas conflict has the potential to both widen militarily and to impact international trade and prices for energy and food. However, financial markets have generally continued to function without major disruptions during the period.
The strong performance of financial markets has created wider differences in equity valuations that may provide attractive opportunities for investors. Additionally, interest rate reductions next year could benefit high-quality fixed income investments.
Our suite of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with the ability to build durable portfolios that meet their financial goals, regardless of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Shlissel

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
Equity markets continued to outperform bond markets during the period, generating positive returns largely due to gains made during the first half of 2023. Following a surge in U.S. equity prices, investors largely sought lower equity valuations in international markets in the second half of the period.
Overall, equities in international developed markets outperformed both emerging market and U.S. equities. Growth stocks and large capitalization stocks largely outperformed value stocks and mid cap and small cap stocks. Within fixed income markets, emerging markets debt and lower-rated bonds in developed markets generally outperformed U.S. Treasuries.
While the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and The Bank of England continued to raise interest rates at regular intervals through the first half of 2023, declining inflationary pressures allowed all three central banks to withhold further increases at the end of the reporting period.
Corporate earnings were generally better-than-expected for most of the period but results for the third quarter of 2023 showed some slowing in earnings and revenue growth. Tight labor markets in the U.S. eased somewhat in the final months of the period and the jobless rate rose to 3.8% in October 2023, which raised investor expectations that inflation would continue to slow.
Global energy prices largely fell during the period amid slowing demand from China and leading industrialized nations. Crude oil prices spiked briefly in September 2023 when Saudi Arabia and Russia extended production cuts and again in early October at the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, global petroleum prices receded by the end of the period as economic data, including U.S. gasoline consumption, continued to indicate slowing global demand.
Notably, financial sector stocks were roiled by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in late March 2023, followed closely by the failures of Signature Bank and Credit Suisse. In each case, government regulators moved to prevent the erosion of consumer and investor confidence in the banking system.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the ICE BofA 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023. The Fund’s allocation to equities drove its outperformance relative to the Benchmark, which is made up of short-term government bonds and includes no equities.
The Fund’s security selection in the media and software & hardware sectors was a leading contributor to absolute performance, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrial cyclical and utilities sectors was a leading detractor from absolute relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to performance included the Fund’s long positions in Meta Platforms Inc., NXP Semiconductors NV and Seagate Technology Holdings PLC. Shares of Meta Platforms, operator of Facebook and other interactive media, rose amid a general surge in large capitalization technology stocks. Shares of NXP Semiconductors, a Dutch semiconductor manufacturer, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue amid strong global demand for semiconductors. Shares of Seagate Technology Holdings, a data storage and computer hardware maker based in Ireland, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings during the period.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s short positions in Applied Materials Inc., General Electric Co. and Boeing Co. Shares of Applied Materials, a provider of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2023 and raised its earnings forecast. Shares of General Electric, an industrial conglomerate, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings. Shares of Boeing, an aircraft and aerospace manufacturer, rose amid better-than-expected earnings in the second quarter of 2023 and continued demand for aerospace and military hardware during the period.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers aimed to construct a portfolio of long and short positions with a low correlation to the broader market for stocks and bonds. The Fund’s portfolio managers used fundamental research to estimate companies’ long-term earnings forecasts, ranking approximately 600 large and
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
mid-cap stocks into five quintiles. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked to the top quintiles for potential long positions in stocks that they believed were undervalued and the
bottom quintiles for potential short positions in stocks that they believed were overvalued.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS AS OF October 31, 2023

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (10/31/13 TO 10/31/23)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund and ICE BofA 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index from October 31, 2013 to October 31, 2023. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the ICE BofA 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The ICE BofA 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and
the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023
(Dollar values in thousands)
1. Organization
JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a 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:
| | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund | Class A, Class C and Class I | |
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation from a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks while neutralizing the general risks associated with stock market investing.
Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class I Shares. 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. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as adviser (the “Adviser”) and administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Fund.
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 (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Fund's valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (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 their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Board is required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Board may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Board has designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Fund on behalf of the Board subject to appropriate oversight by the Board. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC 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.
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 NAV of the Fund is calculated on a valuation date.
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.
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.
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
•
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.
The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments ("SOI"):

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the NAVs of the Fund.
As of October 31, 2023, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. Securities Lending — The Fund is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Fund is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Fund, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund retains the interest earned on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Fund). Upon termination of a loan, the Fund is required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Fund also receives payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Fund bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Fund may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
The Fund did not lend out any securities during the year ended October 31, 2023.
D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Fund invested in an Underlying Fund advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund assumes the issuer listed in the table below to be an affiliated issuer. The Underlying Fund's distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Fund. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the table below.

| The rate shown is the current yield as of October 31, 2023. |
E. Futures Contracts —The Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Fund also used index futures contracts to more effectively manage the long and short equity exposures in the portfolio. The Fund also purchased futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.
Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk. The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund 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 Fund's credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.
The Fund's futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
The table below discloses the volume of the futures contracts activity during the year ended October 31, 2023:
| |
| |
Average Notional Balance Short | |
Ending Notional Balance Short | |
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
F. Short Sales— The Fund engaged in short sales as part of their normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Fund sells securities they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of those securities. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Fund borrows securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Fund delivers the same securities to the broker.
The Fund is required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as Deposits at broker for securities sold short, while cash collateral deposited at the Fund's custodian for the benefit of the broker is recorded as Restricted cash for securities sold short on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the SOI. The Fund may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference between the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net amounts of income or fees are included as interest income or interest expense on securities sold short on the Statement of Operations.
The Fund is obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on the record date. Dividends on short positions are reported on ex-dividend date on the Statement of Operations as Dividend expense to non-affiliates on securities sold short. The Fund is obligated to pay the broker interest accrued on short positions while the position is outstanding. Interest expense on short positions is reported as Interest expense to non-affiliates on securities sold short on the Statement of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the security’s price increases and the short position loses value. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.
The Fund will record a realized loss if the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.
As of October 31, 2023, the Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on its SOI.
G. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income and interest expense on securities sold short, if any, is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and dividend expense on securities sold short are 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.
H. Allocation of Income and Expenses— Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2023 are as follows:
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
I. 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 (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 October 31, 2023, no liability for Federal 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 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
J. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:
| | Accumulated
undistributed
(distributions in
excess of)
net investment
income | Accumulated
net realized
gains (losses) |
| | | |
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to tax adjustments on certain investments.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.010% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective rate was 0.075% of the Fund's average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund's sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.

| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
In addition, JPMDS is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2023, JPMDS retained the following:
D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to fund shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee with respect to all share classes, except Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
JPMDS 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. Pursuant to such contracts, JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.
JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Fund. For performing 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.

Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates 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 Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Fund’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the Fund's investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Fund to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2023 was $63.

(Dollar values in thousands)
G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the 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 October 31, 2023, the Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.
4. Investment Transactions
During the year ended October 31, 2023, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:
| Purchases
(excluding
U.S. Government) | Sales
(excluding
U.S. Government) | | Covers on
Securities
Sold Short |
| | | | |
5. Federal Income Tax Matters
For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at October 31, 2023 were as follows:
| | Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation | Gross
Unrealized
Depreciation | Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation) |
| | | | |
|
| The tax cost includes the proceeds from short sales which may result in a net negative cost. |
The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to certain derivatives and wash sale loss deferrals.
As of October 31, 2023, the estimated components of net assets (excluding paid-in-capital) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Current
Distributable
Ordinary
Income | Current
Distributable
Long-Term
Capital Gain
(Tax Basis Capital
Loss Carryover) | Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation) |
| | | |
The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of tax adjustments on certain derivatives and wash sale loss deferrals.
At October 31, 2023, the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future realized gains:
| Capital Loss Carryforward Character |
| |
| |
|
| Amount includes capital loss carryforwards which are limited in future years under Internal Revenue Code sections 381-384. |
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
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 ("JPM II") and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the year ended October 31, 2023.
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 October 29, 2024.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2023.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater on the day of the borrowing, of the federal funds effective rate, or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate. Prior to August 9, 2022, interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility was charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to the Applicable Margin, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Effective August 8, 2023, the Credit Facility was amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.
The Fund did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended October 31, 2023.
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 brought against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
As of October 31, 2023, the Fund had three individual shareholders and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares, and collectively owning 59.1% of the Fund's outstanding shares.
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Fund's performance and liquidity.
As of October 31, 2023, the Fund pledged a significant portion of its assets to Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. for securities sold short. For the Fund, deposits at broker for securities sold short, as noted on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, are held at Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.
LIBOR was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. As a result of benchmark reforms, publication of most LIBOR settings has ceased. Some LIBOR settings continue to be published but only on a temporary, synthetic and non-representative basis. Regulated entities have generally ceased entering into new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector actors have worked to establish alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of the Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Fund's investments may have transitioned from LIBOR or will transition from LIBOR in the future. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Fund and its investments.

(Dollar values in thousands)
The Fund is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of any future pandemic or other global event to business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund's investments, increase the Fund's volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic or other global event that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund's investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic or other global event and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and Shareholders of JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (one of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust I, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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 ended October 31, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our 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 ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2023, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2023.
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 titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the 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, and expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM(Unaudited)
The JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) has adopted the J.P. Morgan Funds and J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds Amended and Restated Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Program seeks to assess, manage and review the Fund’s Liquidity Risk. “Liquidity Risk” is defined as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”) from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Program permits the Fund to use liquidity definitions and classification methodologies that differ from the requirements under the Liquidity Rule in some respects. Among other things, the Liquidity Rule requires that a written report be provided to the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on an annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, including the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (“HLIM”), where applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
The Board has appointed J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Liquidity Risk Forum to be the program administrator for the Program (the “Program Administrator”). In addition to regular reporting at each of its quarterly meetings, on February 7, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, where applicable, the operation of the Fund’s HLIM. There were no material changes to the Program during the Reporting Period.
The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Program Administrator in assessing whether the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to the Fund. Such information and factors included, among other things: (1) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage, and periodically review the Fund’s Liquidity Risk and the results of this assessment; (2) the methodology and inputs for classifying the investments of the Fund into one of the required liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of the liquidity of those investments under current market conditions; (3) whether the Fund invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program), as well as whether an HLIM should be established for the Fund (and, for Funds that have adopted an HLIM, whether the HLIM continues to be appropriate or whether the Fund has invested below its HLIM) and the procedures for monitoring for any HLIM; (4) whether the Fund invested more than 15% of its assets in “Illiquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program) and the procedures for monitoring for this limit; and (5) specific liquidity events arising during the Program Reporting Period. The Report further summarized the conditions of the Exemptive Order and whether all applicable Funds were in compliance with the terms of the Exemptive Order.
Based on this review, the Report concluded that: (1) the Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage the Fund’s Liquidity Risk; and (2) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to the Fund during the Program Reporting Period.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year and at each meeting considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Board also met for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board held meetings June 20-21, 2023 and August 8-10, 2023, 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 each 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 parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 10, 2023.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Fund received from J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”). This information included the Fund’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmark and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (the “independent consultant”). In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received, and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessments as compared to the Fund’s objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Fund, and independent legal counsel to the Trustees, and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for
their consideration of the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement with independent legal counsel in executive sessions at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.
After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of 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. Among other things, the Trustees considered:
• The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
• The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, including personnel changes, if any;
• The investment strategy for the Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams;
• Information about the structure and distribution strategy for the Fund and how it fits within the Adviser’s other fund offerings within the J.P. Morgan Funds complex;
• The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;
• Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Fund and in the financial industry generally;
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
• 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 requests for additional information, 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.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the 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 from providing services to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information 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 and reviewed with the Board. 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 upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, 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.
The Trustees also considered that JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Fund for providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. 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 (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also
considered the fees earned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting and other related services for the Fund, and the profitability of the arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds' operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients. The Trustees 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, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so. The Trustees also considered the benefit to the Adviser and its affiliates from allocating client assets to the Fund.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund may benefit from potential 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 considered the extent to which the Fund was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Fund has implemented contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow the Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from the Fund’s inception and that the fees remain fair and reasonable relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Fund of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Fund. The Trustees further considered the Adviser's and JPMDS's ongoing investments in their business in support of the Fund, including the Adviser's and/or JPMDS's investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for the Fund, including Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Fund and its shareholders. The
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT(Unaudited) (continued)
Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Fund.
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, to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and 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 investment company 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 applicable registered investment company, typically bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically 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.
Investment Performance
The Trustees receive and consider information about the Fund’s performance throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Fund in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Fund within a performance universe comprised of funds’ selected share classes with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Fund’s Universe, and noted that Universe quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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, and also considered the special analysis prepared for certain Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The
Broadridge 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 Research Market Neutral Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, first and first quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the fifth, third and first quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds’ selected share classes in the Universe, as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”). The Trustees recognized that Broadridge 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, and noted that Universe and Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Fund, the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it can be 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 and actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first quintile of the Universe. Broadridge did not calculate quintile rankings for the Peer Group for Class A shares of this Fund due to the limited number of funds in the Peer Group. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe.
| J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | |
After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Letter to ShareholdersDecember 14, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
While the U.S. economy generally performed well this year, global economic growth has been uneven in the face of elevated interest rates and heightened geopolitical tensions. Equity markets largely outperformed fixed income markets for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, though rising yields lifted investor demand for certain types of bonds.
|
"The strong performance of financial markets in 2023 created wider differences in equity valuations that may provide attractive opportunities for investors. Additionally, interest rate reductions next year could benefit high-quality fixed income investments.” — Brian S. Shlissel
|
Inflationary pressures have receded sufficiently so far that the U.S. Federal Reserve declined to raise interest rates since September 2023 and signaled it may reduce rates three times in 2024. Both the European Central Bank and the Bank of England also declined to raise interest rates in the third quarter of 2023. Financial markets largely responded positively to the central banks’ policy stances, though the view that interest rates could remain “higher for longer” appeared to temper investor optimism.
Overall, corporate earnings and revenues within developed markets generally continued to grow through the first three quarters of 2023, though certain surveys indicated many businesses anticipate demand to slow next year. Emerging markets experienced a wider dispersion in economic performance and corporate results, partly due to slower economic growth in China, post-pandemic changes to global supply chains and elevated debt servicing costs.
While some assert that the risk of economic recession has receded in 2023, the risk remains. China’s struggling property sector could further undermine economic growth and spill over to certain commodity exporting nations. Additionally, there is no clear timing with regard to the resolution of the war in Ukraine, which continues to impact global energy and grain supplies. The Israel-Hamas conflict has the potential to both widen militarily and to impact international trade and prices for energy and food. However, financial markets have generally continued to function without major disruptions during the period.
The strong performance of financial markets has created wider differences in equity valuations that may provide attractive opportunities for investors. Additionally, interest rate reductions next year could benefit high-quality fixed income investments.
Our suite of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with the ability to build durable portfolios that meet their financial goals, regardless of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Shlissel

MARKET OVERVIEWTWELVE MONTHS ENDED October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
Equity markets continued to outperform bond markets during the period, generating positive returns largely due to gains made during the first half of 2023. Following a surge in U.S. equity prices, investors largely sought lower equity valuations in international markets in the second half of the period.
Overall, equities in international developed markets outperformed both emerging market and U.S. equities. Growth stocks and large capitalization stocks largely outperformed value stocks and mid cap and small cap stocks. Within fixed income markets, emerging markets debt and lower-rated bonds in developed markets generally outperformed U.S. Treasury bonds.
While the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and The Bank of England continued to raise interest rates at regular intervals through the first half of 2023, declining inflationary pressures allowed all three central banks to withhold further increases at the end of the reporting period.
Corporate earnings were generally better-than-expected for most of the period but results for the third quarter of 2023 showed some slowing in earnings and revenue growth. Tight labor markets in the U.S. eased somewhat in the final months of the period and the jobless rate rose to 3.8% in October 2023, which raised investor expectations that inflation would continue to slow.
Global energy prices largely fell during the period amid slowing demand from China and leading industrialized nations. Crude oil prices spiked briefly in September 2023 when Saudi Arabia and Russia extended production cuts and again in early October at the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, global petroleum prices receded by the end of the period as economic data, including U.S. gasoline consumption, continued to indicate slowing global demand.
Notably, financial sector stocks were roiled by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in late March 2023, followed closely by the failures of Signature Bank and Credit Suisse. In each case, government regulators moved to prevent the erosion of consumer and investor confidence in the banking system.
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 15.01%, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 11.26% and the S&P 500 Index returned 10.14%.

The JPMorgan Developed International Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class L Shares outperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023.
The Fund’s overweight position in the banks sector and its security selection in the capital goods sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the insurance sector and the automobiles & components sector were leading detractors from relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s security selection in Japan and the U.K. was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while its security selection in Europe, excluding the U.K. and the Pacific, excluding Japan, were the smallest contributors and no regions detracted from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in British American Tobacco PLC and Softbank Group Corp., and its overweight position in Centrica PLC. Shares of British American Tobacco, a U.K. tobacco and nicotine products manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell amid increased regulatory efforts in the U.S. and
U.K. to reduce smoking and nicotine use. Shares of Softbank Group, a Japanese investment company not held in the Fund, fell after the company reported a loss for its fiscal third quarter. Shares of Centrica, a U.K. energy utility, rose after the company reported strong profit growth for the first half of the year.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in SAP SE and Enel SpA, and its overweight position in Roche Holding AG. Shares of SAP, a German applications software provider not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the period. Shares of Enel, an Italian electric utility not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported earnings and revenue growth during the period. Roche Holdings, a Swiss pharmaceutical and diagnostics company, fell after the company reported results that were in line with analysts’ estimates and issued a weaker-than-expected earnings forecast.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers employed behavioral-based and quantitative screens in addition to conducting fundamental analysis to seek out companies that they believed were both attractively valued and fundamentally sound. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the banks and energy sectors, while the largest underweight positions were in the utilities sector and the food, beverage and tobacco sector.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (10/31/13 TO 10/31/23)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111. Effective May 2018, some of the Fund’s investment strategies changed. The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the Fund was managed under the current strategies.
Returns for Class R5 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class L Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares have different expenses than Class L Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan Developed International Value Fund and the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net total return) from October 31, 2013 to October 31, 2023. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net total return) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The MSCI EAFE Value Index (net total return) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of value-oriented large- and mid- cap stocks in developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. Net total return
figures assume the reinvestment of dividends after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class L Shares have a $3,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023.
The Fund’s security selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the communication services sector and its underweight position in the materials sector were leading contributors to relative performance.
By country, the Fund’s security selection in China and its overweight position and security selection in India were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight position in Saudi Arabia and its security selection in Taiwan were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark position in EPAM Systems Inc. and its overweight positions in JD.com Inc. and HDFC Bank Ltd. Shares of EPAM Systems, a global provider of software development and digital platform services that partly operates from Belarus, fell after the company lowered its earnings forecast amid slowing demand for its products. Shares of JD.com, a Chinese e-commerce provider, fell after the company reported slowing growth in sales. Shares of HDFC Bank, an Indian financial services provider, fell after the
company said its planned merger with HDFC Ltd. would lower profit margins and increase its ratio of non-performing loans.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in NU Holdings Ltd. and MercadoLibre Inc., and its overweight position in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Shares of NU Holdings, a Brazilian digital financial services provider, rose after the company reported growth in earnings and revenue for the second quarter of 2023. Shares of MercadoLibre, an e-commerce provider based in Uruguay, rose after reporting consecutive quarters of surging sales and higher-than-expected earnings. Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose amid better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2023, an upbeat earnings forecast for the fourth quarter of 2023 and investor expectations that it would benefit from recently improved trade relations between the U.S. and China.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers employed an active strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the highest-conviction ideas found at the security level. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to determine the Fund’s security weightings, researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth.
As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest sector overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the consumer staples sectors and financials sectors and its largest relative underweight allocations were in the materials and communication services sectors.

Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Wiwynn Corp. and Accton Technology Corp. and its underweight position in Adani Total Gas Ltd. Shares of Wiwynn, a Taiwanese manufacturer of data servers and storage systems, rose amid increased global demand for the company’s artificial intelligence technologies.

Shares of Lojas Renner, a Brazilian department store chain, fell amid weakness in earnings and investor concerns about the company’s outlook for growth.

As a result of this process, by sector, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the financials and consumer staples sectors and its largest underweight allocations were in the industrials and health care sectors.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return from long-term capital growth. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the MSCI Europe Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023.
Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s security selection in the capital goods and the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment sectors was a leading detractor from performance, while the Fund’s security selection in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences sector and in the banks sector was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Hexatronic Group AB and its overweight positions in NN Group NV and BP PLC. Shares of Hexatronic, a Swedish fiber optic equipment provider, fell after the company forecast slowing demand in the second half of 2023. Shares of NN Group, a Dutch insurance and financial services provider, fell after the company reported a decline in per-share earnings during the period. Shares of BP, a U.K. integrated petroleum and natural gas company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2023.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in UniCredit SpA and Novo Nordisk A/S, and its underweight position in Shell PLC. Shares of UniCredit, an Italian banking and financial services company, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected results during the period. Shares of Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceuticals and health care products provider, rose amid consumer demand for the company’s weight-loss drug. Shares of Shell, a U.K. integrated petroleum and natural gas company, rose amid investor expectations the company would benefit from supply constraints implemented by Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that attractively valued, high quality securities with positive momentum have the
potential to outperform the market. During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers invested in securities that they believed had these style characteristics. Portfolio positions were based on bottom-up security selection rather than top-down asset allocation decisions.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total return from long-term capital growth and income. Total return consists of capital growth and current income.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023.
Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s security selection in the financials sector and its underweight position in the real estate sector, where the Fund had no holdings, were leading contributors to relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position and security selection in the consumer discretionary sector and its security selection in the utilities sectors were leading detractors from relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s security selection in the Pacific, excluding Japan, and in Europe, excluding the U.K., was a leading contributor to performance. The Fund’s security selection in Japan and the U.K. was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Novo Nordisk A/S, Munchener Ruckversicherungs-Gesellschaft AG (also known as Munich Re Group) and Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Shares of Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceuticals and health care products provider, rose amid consumer demand for the company’s weight-loss drug. Shares of Munich Re, a German insurance provider, rose after the company lifted its earnings forecast for the full year 2023. Shares of Shin-Etsu Chemical Ltd., a Japanese specialty chemicals manufacturer, rose on increased demand for engineered materials in the semiconductor industry.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Roche Holding AG,
Kyowa Kirin Co. and Cie. Financiere Richemont SA. Shares of Roche Holding, a Swiss pharmaceutical and diagnostics company, fell amid declining sales of its Covid treatments and after the company reported third quarter 2023 sales in line with analysts’ estimates. Shares of Kyowa Kirin, a Japanese pharmaceuticals and medical products manufacturer, fell after the company said it would discontinue development of a proposed treatment for diabetic kidney disease. Shares of Financiere Richemont, a Swiss brand-name luxury goods maker, fell amid a decline in consumer spending across Europe.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to focus on security selection to build a portfolio of international equities. They used bottom-up fundamental research to identify what they believed were attractively priced securities of companies with solid financial positions that possessed the potential to increase their earnings faster than their industry peers.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (10/31/13 TO 10/31/23)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan International Equity Fund and the MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) from October 31, 2013 to October 31, 2023. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of large- and mid- cap stocks in developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. Net total return figures assume the reinvestment of dividends after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (net total return) | |
Net Assets as of 10/31/2023 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan International Focus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023.
The Fund’s security selection in the materials and energy sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the consumer staples and information technology sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s security selection in Europe, excluding the U.K. and in the Pacific, excluding Japan, was a leading contributor to relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position in Japan and its security selection in the U.K. were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Novo Nordisk A/S, Allianz SE and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Shares of Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceuticals and health care products provider, rose amid consumer demand for the company’s weight-loss drug. Shares of Allianz, a German multi-line insurance provider, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of earnings and revenue growth during
the period. Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose amid better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2023, an upbeat earnings forecast for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in HDFC Bank Ltd., Canadian National Railway Co. and Toronto-Dominion Bank. Shares of HDFC Bank, an Indian financial services provider, fell after the company said its planned merger with HDFC Ltd. would lower profit margins and increase its ratio of non-performing loans. Shares of Toronto-Dominion, a Canadian banking and financial services provider, fell amid the company’s failed negotiations to acquire First Horizon Corp. Shares of Canadian National Railway, a freight rail operator, underperformed amid a retreat in commodities prices during the period and investor expectations for lower 2023 earnings among large freight railroads.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
By harnessing their team’s global sector specialists, the Fund’s portfolio managers sought to build a high-conviction, benchmark-agnostic portfolio of growth, value and unique companies, whose future prospects, the portfolio managers believed, were under-appreciated by the market and thus possessed the potential to deliver higher-than-expected earnings that could have a positive effect on their share prices.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) and outperformed the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023. The Fund’s options hedge allowed the Fund to generally perform as designed during the reporting period with about 58% of the Benchmark’s volatility.
The Fund’s security selection in the pharmaceutical/medical technology and retail sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the financial services sector and the consumer cyclical & services sector was a leading contributor to relative performance.
By country, the Fund’s security selection in Switzerland and the Netherlands was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the U.K. and Sweden were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Lonza Group AG, Roche Holding AG and NN Group NV. Shares of Lonza Group, a Swiss supplier to the pharmaceutical and health care sectors, fell after the company lowered its earnings forecast for 2023. Shares of Roche Holding, a Swiss pharmaceutical and diagnostics company, fell amid declining sales of its Covid treatments and after the company reported third quarter 2023 sales in line with analysts’ estimates. Shares of NN Group, a Dutch insurance and financial services provider, fell after the company reported a decline in per-share earnings during the period.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in 3i Group PLC, Novo
Nordisk A/S and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. Shares of 3i Group, a U.K. private equity and venture capital investment company, rose amid positive performance from its portfolio holdings during the period. Shares of Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceuticals and health care products provider, rose amid strong consumer demand for the company’s weight-loss drug. Shares of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, a Japanese diversified banking company, rose amid investor expectations that the company would benefit from the Bank of Japan’s moves toward interest rate policy normalization.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers continued to focus on security selection to build a portfolio of international equities. They used bottom-up fundamental research to identify what they believed were attractively priced securities of companies with solid financial positions that possessed the potential to increase their earnings faster than their industry peers.

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.
The Fund commenced operations on March 15, 2019.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund, the MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) and the ICE BofA 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index from March 15, 2019 to October 31, 2023. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the ICE BofA 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of large- and mid- cap stocks in developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. Net total return figures assume the reinvestment of dividends after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to nonresident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The ICE BofA 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at
the beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the index is rebalanced and the issue selected is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closest to, but not beyond, 3 months from the rebalancing date. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. ("JPMorgan"), acts as Adviser (the "Adviser") and Administrator (the "Administrator") to the Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards
| J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | |
Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds' valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (the "Boards"), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Boards.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Boards may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Boards have designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Funds on behalf of the Boards subject to appropriate oversight by the Boards. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Boards.
A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds' investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued using prices supplied by approved affiliated and/or unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Boards. This may include the use of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material.
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values ("NAV") of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post-closing, but prior to the time the NAV is calculated.
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Futures contracts and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Funds' investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
•
Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds' assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the NAVs of the Funds.
As of October 31, 2023, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.
The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of October 31, 2023.

|
| Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower. |
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.13% to 0.06%. For the year ended October 31, 2023, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds' investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
Developed International Value Fund | |
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | |
Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | |
| |
International Equity Fund | |
| |
The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).
Emerging Markets Equity Fund did not have any securities out on loan at October 31, 2023. International Hedged Equity Fund did not lend out any securities during the year ended October 31, 2023.
D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. The Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

E. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund's books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.
F. Options — International Hedged Equity Fund purchased put and call options on securities to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller.
Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Options purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.
Options Written — Premiums received by the Fund for options written are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation of options written on the Statements of Operations. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.
Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.
The Fund is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.
The Fund's exchange-traded option contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
G. Futures Contracts — Developed International Value Fund, Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, Europe Dynamic Fund and International Hedged Equity Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also purchased futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.
Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

(Dollar values in thousands)
The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds' credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.
The Funds' futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

The Funds' derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2023 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.
H. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis.
Interest income and interest expense on securities sold short, if any, is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
I. Allocation of Income and Expenses— Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trusts are allocated among the applicable funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the year ended October 31, 2023 are as follows:

| | | | | | | | | | |
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
J. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds' tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2023, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
K. Foreign Taxes —The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.
As a result of several court rulings in certain European countries, the tax authorities of each of these countries, recently paid Developed International Value Fund (France & Sweden), Europe Dynamic Fund (France) and International Equity Fund (France) tax reclaims for prior tax withholding. These tax reclaim payments are included in Foreign withholding tax reclaims on the Statements of Operations. Interest income, if any, related to these tax reclaim payments is included in Interest income from non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
In the event that tax reclaims received by the Funds during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2023 exceed the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Funds for other foreign investments, and the Funds have previously passed foreign tax credits on to their shareholders, the Funds will have a U.S. tax liability. The Funds will enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to pay the associated tax liability (fees) on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders. These IRS fees are estimated through the year ended October 31, 2023 and are included in IRS Compliance Fees for foreign withholding tax reclaims on the Statements of Operations, if applicable. At October 31, 2023, Developed International Value Fund had a U.S. tax liability amounting to $3,492.

(Dollar values in thousands)
L. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:
| | Accumulated
undistributed
(distributions in
excess of)
net investment
income | Accumulated
net realized
gains (losses) |
Developed International Value Fund | | | |
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | | | |
Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | | | |
| | | |
International Equity Fund | | | |
| | | |
International Hedged Equity Fund | | | |
The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to tax adjustments on certain investments, foreign currency gains or losses and foreign taxes.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:
| |
Developed International Value Fund | |

B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to each Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective rate was 0.07% of each Fund's average daily net assets, except for International Focus Fund, which was 0.08%, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds' sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.
C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as each Fund's principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares.
The Boards have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class L, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares of the Funds do not charge a distribution fee. The
| J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | |
Distribution Plan provides that the following Funds shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | |
Developed International Value Fund | | | | |
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | | | | |

JPMDS 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 Funds. Pursuant to such contracts, JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.
JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay 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 Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statements of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund's investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2023 were as follows:

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
The Boards designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statements of Operations.
The Trusts adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

6. Borrowings
The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II ("JPM II") and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the year ended October 31, 2023. Average borrowings from the Facility during the year ended October 31, 2023 were as follows:
| | | | |
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | | | | |
Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | | | | |
| | | | |
International Equity Fund | | | | |
| | | | |
International Hedged Equity Fund | | | | |
The Trusts and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 29, 2024.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2023.
The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which
| J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater on the day of the borrowing, of the federal funds effective rate, or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate. Effective August 8, 2023, the Credit Facility was amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the Credit Facility at October 31, 2023. Average borrowings from the Credit Facility for, or at any time during the year ended October 31, 2023 were as follows (amounts in thousands, except number of days outstanding):

Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | | | | |
| | | | |
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
As of October 31, 2023, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund's outstanding shares as follows:

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds' performance and liquidity.
The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of foreign countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period. Such concentrations may subject each of these Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.
| J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | |
As of October 31, 2023, the following Funds had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments (excluding investment of cash collateral from securities loaned) as follows:

| | | | | | | |
As of October 31, 2023, a significant portion of each Fund's investments consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.
Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds' original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Funds to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Funds to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Funds to losses.
The Funds invest in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, liquidity risks and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” a Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund each invests a substantial portion of their assets in emerging market countries. These risks are magnified in countries in emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable.
Additionally, the Funds may have substantial difficulties exercising their legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging market countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. As a result of benchmark reforms, publication of most LIBOR settings has ceased. Some LIBOR settings continue to be published but only on a temporary, synthetic and non-representative basis. Regulated entities have generally ceased entering into new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector actors have worked to establish alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of the Funds' loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Funds' investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Funds' investments may have transitioned from LIBOR or will transition from LIBOR in the future. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Funds or their investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Funds and their investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Funds invest. The effects of any future pandemic or other global event to business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund's investments, increase
| J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
a Fund's volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic or other global event that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic or other global event and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and JPMorgan Trust IV and Shareholders of JPMorgan Developed International Value Fund, JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, JPMorgan Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund, JPMorgan International Equity Fund, JPMorgan International Focus Fund and JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Developed International Value Fund (formerly known as JPMorgan International Value Fund), JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund, JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund, JPMorgan International Equity Fund and JPMorgan International Focus Fund (five of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust I) and JPMorgan Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund and JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund (two of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust IV) (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of October 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2023, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2023.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM(Unaudited)
Each of the Funds covered in this report has adopted the J.P. Morgan Funds and J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds Amended and Restated Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Program seeks to assess, manage and review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk. “Liquidity Risk” is defined as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”) from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Program permits the Funds to use liquidity definitions and classification methodologies that differ from the requirements under the Liquidity Rule in some respects. Among other things, the Liquidity Rule requires that a written report be provided to the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on an annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, including the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (“HLIM”), where applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
The Board has appointed J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Liquidity Risk Forum to be the program administrator for the Program (the “Program Administrator”). In addition to regular reporting at each of its quarterly meetings, on February 7, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, where applicable, the operation of a Fund’s HLIM. There were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period.
The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Program Administrator in assessing whether the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund. Such information and factors included, among other things: (1) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage, and periodically review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk and the results of this assessment; (2) the methodology and inputs for classifying the investments of a Fund into one of the required liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of the liquidity of those investments under current market conditions; (3) whether a Fund invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program), as well as whether an HLIM should be established for a Fund (and, for Funds that have adopted an HLIM, whether the HLIM continues to be appropriate or whether a Fund has invested below its HLIM) and the procedures for monitoring for any HLIM; (4) whether a Fund invested more than 15% of its assets in “Illiquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program) and the procedures for monitoring for this limit; and (5) specific liquidity events arising during the Program Reporting Period. The Report further summarized the conditions of the Exemptive Order and whether all applicable Funds were in compliance with the terms of the Exemptive Order.
Based on this review, the Report concluded that: (1) the Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk; and (2) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund during the Program Reporting Period.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year and, at each meeting, considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Board also met for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board held meetings June 20-21, 2023 and August 8-10, 2023, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). 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 each 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 10, 2023.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”). This information included the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks, and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (the “independent consultant”). In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessments as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Funds, and independent legal counsel to the Trustees, and received a memorandum from independent
legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements with independent legal counsel in executive sessions at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.
After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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. Among other things, the Trustees considered:
• The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
• The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, including personnel changes, if any;
• The investment strategy for each Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams;
• Information about the structure and distribution strategy for each Fund and how it fits within the Adviser’s other fund offerings within the J.P. Morgan Funds complex;
• The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;
| J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | |
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS(Unaudited) (continued)
• Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds and in the financial industry generally;
• The overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates;
• The commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds;
• Their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity; and
• The Adviser’s responsiveness to requests for additional information, 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 each Fund.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds 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 from providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and 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 and reviewed with the Board. 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 upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
The Trustees also considered that JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. 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 Funds’
distributor, and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees earned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting and other related services for each Fund, and the profitability of the arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds' operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable.�� The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. The Trustees 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, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so. The Trustees also considered the benefit to the Adviser and its affiliates from allocating client assets to the Funds.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from potential economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that certain other Funds that had achieved scale as asset levels had increased no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain fair and reasonable relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser's and JPMDS's ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser's and/or JPMDS's
| J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | |
investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.
Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Senior Officer
The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer for the International Equity Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report.
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, to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and 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 investment company 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 each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the applicable registered investment company, typically bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees receive and consider information about each Fund’s performance throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe comprised of funds’ selected share classes with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and noted that Universe quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared for certain Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Developed International Value Fund’s performance for Class A, Class I and Class R6 shares was in the first, second and fourth quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances. They requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with members of the equity committee at each of their regular meetings over the course of the next year.
The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s performance for Class A and Class I shares was in the fourth, third and second quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the fourth, third, and first quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance

and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund’s performance for both Class I and Class R6 shares was in the third quintile of the Universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2022. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory.
The Trustees noted that the Europe Dynamic Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, second and third quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees noted that performance for Class I shares was in the second, second and fourth quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees noted that performance for Class R6 shares was in the second and first quintiles of the Universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the International Equity Fund’s performance for Class A, Class I and Class R6 shares was in the fifth, third and third quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the International Focus Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, fourth and third quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for both Class I and Class R6 shares was in the fourth, fourth and second quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the International Hedged Equity Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second and fifth quintiles of the Universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for both Class I and Class R6 shares was in the third and fifth quintiles of the Universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds’ selected share classes in the Universe, as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”). The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each 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 each Fund and noted that Universe and Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it can be 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 each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Developed International Value Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A, Class I, and Class R6 shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
| J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | |
The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class A and Class I shares were in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I and Class R6 shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe.

The Trustees noted that the Europe Dynamic Fund’s net advisory fee for the Class A shares was in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles of the Universe, respectively. Broadridge did not calculate quintile rankings for the Peer Group for Class I shares of this Fund due to the limited number of funds in the Peer Group. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Letter to ShareholdersDecember 14, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
While the U.S. economy generally performed well this year, global economic growth has been uneven in the face of elevated interest rates and heightened geopolitical tensions. Equity markets largely outperformed fixed income markets for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, though rising yields lifted investor demand for certain types of bonds.
|
"The strong performance of financial markets in 2023 created wider differences in equity valuations that may provide attractive opportunities for investors. Additionally, interest rate reductions next year could benefit high-quality fixed income investments.” — Brian S. Shlissel
|
Inflationary pressures have receded sufficiently so far that the U.S. Federal Reserve declined to raise interest rates since September 2023 and signaled it may reduce rates three times in 2024. Both the European Central Bank and the Bank of England also declined to raise interest rates in the third quarter of 2023. Financial markets largely responded positively to the central banks’ policy stances, though the view that interest rates could remain “higher for longer” appeared to temper investor optimism.
Overall, corporate earnings and revenues within developed markets generally continued to grow through the first three quarters of 2023, though certain surveys indicated many businesses anticipate demand to slow next year. Emerging markets experienced a wider dispersion in economic performance and corporate results, partly due to slower economic growth in China, post-pandemic changes to global supply chains and elevated debt servicing costs.
While some assert that the risk of economic recession has receded in 2023, the risk remains. China’s struggling property sector could further undermine economic growth and spill over to certain commodity exporting nations. Additionally, there is no clear timing with regard to the resolution of the war in Ukraine, which continues to impact global energy and grain supplies. The Israel-Hamas conflict has the potential to both widen militarily and to impact international trade and prices for energy and food. However, financial markets have generally continued to function without major disruptions during the period.
The strong performance of financial markets has created wider differences in equity valuations that may provide attractive opportunities for investors. Additionally, interest rate reductions next year could benefit high-quality fixed income investments.
Our suite of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with the ability to build durable portfolios that meet their financial goals, regardless of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Shlissel

MARKET OVERVIEWTWELVE MONTHS ENDED October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
Equity markets continued to outperform bond markets during the period, generating positive returns largely due to gains made during the first half of 2023. Following a surge in U.S. equity prices, investors largely sought lower equity valuations in international markets in the second half of the period.
Overall, equities in international developed markets outperformed both emerging market and U.S. equities. Growth stocks and large capitalization stocks largely outperformed value stocks and mid cap and small cap stocks. Within fixed income markets, emerging markets debt and lower-rated bonds in developed markets generally outperformed U.S. Treasury bonds.
While the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and The Bank of England continued to raise interest rates at regular intervals through the first half of 2023, declining inflationary pressures allowed all three central banks to withhold further increases at the end of the reporting period.
Corporate earnings were generally better-than-expected for most of the period but results for the third quarter of 2023 showed some slowing in earnings and revenue growth. Tight labor markets in the U.S. eased somewhat in the final months of the period and the jobless rate rose to 3.8% in October 2023, which raised investor expectations that inflation would continue to slow.
Global energy prices largely fell during the period amid slowing demand from China and leading industrialized nations. Crude oil prices spiked briefly in September 2023 when Saudi Arabia and Russia extended production cuts and again in early October at the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, global petroleum prices receded by the end of the period as economic data, including U.S. gasoline consumption, continued to indicate slowing global demand.
Notably, financial sector stocks were roiled by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in late March 2023, followed closely by the failures of Signature Bank and Credit Suisse. In each case, government regulators moved to prevent the erosion of consumer and investor confidence in the banking system.
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 15.01%, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 11.26% and the S&P 500 Index returned 10.14%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high after-tax total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023.
The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and communication services sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrials and utilities sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Microsoft Corp., Meta Platforms Inc. and Nvidia Inc. Shares of Microsoft, an information technology conglomerate, rose amid a general surge in large capitalization technology stocks during the period. Shares of Meta Platforms, parent company of Facebook, rose amid a general surge in large capitalization technology stocks during the period. Shares of Nvidia, a semiconductor manufacturer, rose after reporting consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings amid strong global demand for semiconductors.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in NextEra Energy Inc., Danaher Corp. and Norfolk Southern Corp. Share of NextEra Energy, an electric utility, fell sharply in late September after the company lowered its growth forecast for its NextEra Energy Partners investment unit. Shares of Danaher, a medical technology manufacturer and services provider, fell ahead of the company’s spinoff of its Veralto unit and amid investor concerns about the company’s planned acquisition of Abcam PLC. Shares of Norfolk Southern, a freight railroad operator, fell after a company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the second and third quarters of 2023.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to security
selection, researching companies to determine what the portfolio managers believed to be the companies’ underlying
value and potential for future earnings growth.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (10/31/13 TO 10/31/23)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund and the S&P 500 Index from October 31, 2013 to October 31, 2023. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
The Tax Aware strategy seeks to minimize shareholders’ tax liability in connection with the Fund’s distribution of realized capital gains. There can be no guarantee the strategy will minimize or eliminate such tax liability.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares, with the exception of returns noted above as returns after taxes.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Net Assets as of 10/31/2023 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***
The JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares had a positive absolute return, underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index (the “Benchmark”) and underperformed the Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023.
The Fund’s hedge against inflation, which was implemented through the use of swaps contracts, detracted from absolute performance as U.S. inflation levels fell during the period. The Bloomberg Inflation Swap 5-Year Zero Coupon Index returned -0.57% for the period.
Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s longer overall duration and its underweight positions in the leading and transportation sectors were leading detractors from performance. Duration is as measure of the price sensitivity of a portfolio of bonds to changes in interest rates. The Fund’s inflation hedge also detracted from relative performance as inflation generally slowed during the period.
The Fund’s overweight allocations to bonds rated single-A and BBB, its overweight allocation to industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue bonds and its underweight allocation to state general obligation bonds were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
Among the Fund’s tax-exempt fixed income investments, the Fund employed a bottom-up, security-selection-based investment approach and sought to take advantage of opportunities stemming from increased volatility, supply pressures and headline credit risk. The Fund maintained its bias to high quality debt securities, as the Fund’s portfolio managers preferred higher quality issuances. The Fund’s portfolio managers also maintained an inflation-overlay hedging strategy, using zero coupon inflation linked swaps (“inflation swaps”) to purchase protection against inflation along the yield curve. The yield curve shows the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar bonds at a given point in time.
During the period, the Fund’s portfolio managers increased the aggregate amount of hedged positions to 96% from 83% at the start of the period.
INVESTMENT APPROACH
The Fund uses inflation swaps in combination with tax-exempt municipal bonds to seek to replicate a portfolio of inflation protected securities. The Fund is designed to protect the total return generated by its tax-exempt fixed income holdings from inflation risk. The inflation swaps used by the Fund are based on cumulative percentage movements in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). The inflation swaps are structured so that one counterparty agrees to pay the cumulative percentage change in the CPI-U over the duration of the swap. The other counterparty (the Fund) pays a compounded fixed rate (zero coupon inflation-swap rate), which is based on the “breakeven inflation rate,” calculated as the yield difference between a nominal U.S. Treasury security and a U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Security of equal maturity.
The Fund’s portfolio managers aim to protect the portfolio from inflation risk across maturities. Therefore, the yield curve positioning of the underlying bonds is used as the general basis for the Fund’s inflation swap positioning. The Fund’s portfolio managers believe that matching the duration of the inflation protection to the duration of the underlying bonds is the most effective and efficient way to protect the portfolio from both actual realized inflation as well as the loss of value that results from an increase in inflation expectations. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. However, the inflation protection is actively managed, and the Fund’s portfolio managers may elect to deviate from the curve positioning of the underlying bonds as a result of opportunities that may result from macroeconomic or technical factors.

The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge.

The Bloomberg U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index represents the performance of municipal bonds with maturities from 1 to 17 years. The Tax Aware Real Return Composite Benchmark is determined by adding the return of the Bloomberg U.S. 1-15 Year Blend (1-17) Municipal Bond Index and the Bloomberg Inflation Swap 5 Year Zero Coupon Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
For some investors, income from municipal bonds may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Capital gains, if any, are federally taxable. Income may be subject to state and local taxes.
The Tax Aware strategy seeks to minimize shareholders’ tax liability in connection with the Fund’s distribution of realized capital gains. There can be no guarantee the strategy will minimize or eliminate such tax liability.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the applicable inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower.
Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares, with the exception of returns noted above as returns after taxes.

| The Fund, as a buyer of credit protection, is generally obligated to make periodic payments and may also pay or receive an upfront premium to or from the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment, upon occurrence of a credit event with respect to an underlying reference obligation, as defined under the terms of individual swap contracts. |
SEE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |
| Implied credit spreads are an indication of the seller's performance risk, related to the likelihood of a credit event occurring that would require a seller to make payment to a buyer. Implied credit spreads are used to determine the value of swap contracts and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include upfront payments made to enter into the contract. Therefore, higher spreads would indicate a greater likelihood that a seller will be obligated to perform (i.e. make payment) under the swap contract. Increasing values, in absolute terms and relative to notional amounts, are also indicative of greater performance risk. Implied credit spreads for credit default swaps on credit indices are linked to the weighted average spread across the underlying reference obligations included in a particular index. |
| The notional amount is the maximum amount that a seller of credit protection would be obligated to pay and a buyer of credit protection would receive, upon occurrence of a credit event. |
| Upfront payments and receipts generally represent premiums paid or received at the initiation of the agreement to compensate the differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and current market conditions (credit spreads, interest rates and other relevant factors). |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023
(Dollar values in thousands)
1. Organization
JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a 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 are 2 separate funds of the Trust (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") covered by this report:
| | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | |
JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | |
The investment objective of JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund (“Tax Aware Equity Fund”) is to seek to provide high after-tax total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund (“Tax Aware Real Return Fund”) is to seek to maximize after-tax inflation protected return.
Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class I and Class R6 Shares. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds' prospectus. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as adviser (the “Adviser”) and administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds' valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (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 their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Board is required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Board may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Board has designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Funds on behalf of the Board subject to appropriate oversight by the Board. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC 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.
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date.
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.
Swaps are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Funds' investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
•
Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds' assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments ("SOIs"):

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the NAVs of the Funds.
As of October 31, 2023, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
C. When-Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments — Tax Aware Real Return Fund purchased when-issued securities, including To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) securities, and entered into contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price that may be settled a month or more after the trade date, or purchased delayed delivery securities which generally settle seven days after the trade date. When-issued securities are securities that have been authorized, but not issued in the market. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date that may be settled a month or more after the trade date. A delayed delivery security is agreed upon in advance between the buyer and the seller of the security and is generally delivered beyond seven days of the agreed upon date. The purchase of securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. The sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. The Funds may be exposed to credit risk if the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the transaction. Interest income for securities purchased on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis is not accrued until the settlement date.
Tax Aware Real Return Fund had when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities or forward commitments outstanding as of October 31, 2023, which are shown as a Receivable for Investment securities sold - delayed delivery securities and a Payable for Investment securities purchased - delayed delivery securities, respectively, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The values of these securities held at October 31, 2023 are detailed on the SOIs, if any.
D. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.
The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
The Funds did not lend out any securities during the year ended October 31, 2023.
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |
E. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. The Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

F. Futures Contracts — Tax Aware Real Return Fund used treasury futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments. The Fund also used futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.
Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to interest rate risk. The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund 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 Fund's credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.
The Fund's futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).

(Dollar values in thousands)
G. Swaps — Tax Aware Real Return Fund engaged in various swap transactions to manage interest rate (e.g., duration, yield curve) and inflation risks within its portfolio. The Fund also used swaps as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions are contracts negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC swaps”) between the fund and a counterparty or are centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) through a central clearinghouse managed by a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”) that exchange investment cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified, future intervals.
Upfront payments made and/or received by the Fund are recorded as assets or liabilities, respectively, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the swap. The value of an OTC swap agreement is recorded as either an asset or a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit with the FCM cash or securities, which is referred to as initial margin deposit. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is reported as Deposits at broker for centrally cleared swaps on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Daily changes in valuation of centrally cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a variation margin receivable or payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as Change in net unrealized appreciation/ depreciation on swaps on the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or payment made upon termination of a swap agreement.
The central clearinghouse acts as the counterparty to each centrally cleared swap transaction; therefore credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearinghouse.
Inflation-Linked Swaps
Tax Aware Real Return Fund used inflation-linked swaps to provide inflation protection within its portfolio. These are agreements between counterparties to exchange interest payments based on interest rates over the life of the swap. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon the Consumer Price Index upon while the other is a pre-determined fixed interest rate. The use of swaps exposes the Fund to interest rate risk.

H. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income 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 and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend.
I. Allocation of Income and Expenses— Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the year ended October 31, 2023 are as follows:

(Dollar values in thousands)
J. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds' tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2023, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
K. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least quarterly for Tax Aware Equity Fund and declared and paid at least monthly for Tax Aware Real Return Fund. Distributions 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. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:
| | Accumulated
undistributed
(distributions in
excess of)
net investment
income | Accumulated
net realized
gains (losses) |
| | | |
Tax Aware Real Return Fund | | | |
The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to tax adjustments on certain investments and tax equalization.

C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as each Fund's principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I and Class R6 Shares of each Fund do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | |
| | |
Tax Aware Real Return Fund | | |
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Tax Aware Real Return Fund | |
G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statements of Operations.
The 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 October 31, 2023, the Funds purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.
4. Investment Transactions

| Capital Loss Carryforward Character |

Tax Aware Real Return Fund | | |
6. Borrowings
The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the year ended October 31, 2023.
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 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 October 29, 2024.
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2023.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater on the day of the borrowing, of the federal funds effective rate, or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate. Effective August 8, 2023, the Credit Facility was amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended October 31, 2023.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
As of October 31, 2023, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or affiliated omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund's outstanding shares as follows:
| Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | | Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Non-Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | |
| | | | |
Tax Aware Real Return Fund | | | | |
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds' performance and liquidity.
The Funds are subject to interest rate risk. Investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Funds invest in variable and floating rate loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these investments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Funds may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
The Funds are subject to credit risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that an issuer and/or a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Funds’ investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e. the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Tax Aware Real Return Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of debt obligations issued by states, territories and possessions of the United States and by the District of Columbia, and by their political subdivisions and duly constituted authorities. An issuer's ability to meet its payment obligations may be affected by economic or political developments in a specific state or region. These debt obligations may be insured by private insurers who guarantee the payment of principal and interest in the event of issuer default. The value of these investments may be impacted by changes to bond insurers' ratings and the Fund's ability to collect principal and interest, in the event of an issuer's default, may be limited if the private insurer does not have the wherewithal to satisfy its obligation.
LIBOR was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. As a result of benchmark reforms, publication of most LIBOR settings has ceased. Some LIBOR settings continue to be published but only on a temporary, synthetic and non-representative basis. Regulated entities have generally ceased entering into new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |
prohibitions. Public and private sector actors have worked to establish alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of the Funds' loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Funds' investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Funds' investments may have transitioned from LIBOR or will transition from LIBOR in the future. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Funds or their investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Funds and their investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Funds invest. The effects of any future pandemic or other global event to business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund's investments, increase a Fund's volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic or other global event that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic or other global event and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
8. Subsequent Events
On November 15, 2023, the Board approved the liquidation of Tax Aware Equity Fund, which occurred on December 19, 2023.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and Shareholders of JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Tax Aware Equity Fund and JPMorgan Tax Aware Real Return Fund (two of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust I, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2023, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2023.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM(Unaudited)
Each of the Funds covered in this report has adopted the J.P. Morgan Funds and J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds Amended and Restated Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Program seeks to assess, manage and review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk. “Liquidity Risk” is defined as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”) from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Program permits the Funds to use liquidity definitions and classification methodologies that differ from the requirements under the Liquidity Rule in some respects. Among other things, the Liquidity Rule requires that a written report be provided to the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on an annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, including the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (“HLIM”), where applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
The Board has appointed J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Liquidity Risk Forum to be the program administrator for the Program (the “Program Administrator”). In addition to regular reporting at each of its quarterly meetings, on February 7, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, where applicable, the operation of a Fund’s HLIM. There were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period.
The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Program Administrator in assessing whether the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund. Such information and factors included, among other things: (1) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage, and periodically review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk and the results of this assessment; (2) the methodology and inputs for classifying the investments of a Fund into one of the required liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of the liquidity of those investments under current market conditions; (3) whether a Fund invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program), as well as whether an HLIM should be established for a Fund (and, for Funds that have adopted an HLIM, whether the HLIM continues to be appropriate or whether a Fund has invested below its HLIM) and the procedures for monitoring for any HLIM; (4) whether a Fund invested more than 15% of its assets in “Illiquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program) and the procedures for monitoring for this limit; and (5) specific liquidity events arising during the Program Reporting Period. The Report further summarized the conditions of the Exemptive Order and whether all applicable Funds were in compliance with the terms of the Exemptive Order.
Based on this review, the Report concluded that: (1) the Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk; and (2) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund during the Program Reporting Period.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year, and at each meeting, considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Board also met for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board held meetings June 20-21, 2023 and August 8-10, 2023, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). 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 each 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 10, 2023.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”). This information included the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks, and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (the “independent consultant”). In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessments as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Funds, and independent legal counsel to the Trustees, and received a memorandum from independent
legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements with independent legal counsel in executive sessions at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.
After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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. Among other things, the Trustees considered:
• The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
• The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, including personnel changes, if any;
• The investment strategy for each Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams;
• Information about the structure and distribution strategy for each Fund and how it fits within the Adviser’s other fund offerings within the J.P. Morgan Funds complex;
• The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |
• Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds and in the financial industry generally;
• The overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates;
• The commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds;
• Their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity; and
• The Adviser’s responsiveness to requests for additional information, 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 each Fund.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds 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 from providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and 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 and reviewed with the Board. 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 upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
The Trustees also considered that JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. 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 Funds’ distributor, and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees earned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting and other related services for each Fund, and the profitability of the arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds' operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. The Trustees 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, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so. The Trustees also considered the benefit to the Adviser and its affiliates from allocating client assets to the Funds.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from potential economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”) which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that certain other Funds that had achieved scale as asset levels had increased no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain fair and reasonable relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS(Unaudited) (continued)
Adviser's and JPMDS's ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser's and/or JPMDS's investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.
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, to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and 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 investment company 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 each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the applicable registered investment company, typically bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees receive and consider information about each Fund’s performance throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds
within a performance universe comprised of funds’ selected shares classes with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and noted that Universe quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared for certain Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Equity Fund’s performance for Class A and Class I shares was in the fourth, first and second quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees noted that performance for Class R6 shares was in the fourth and first quintiles of the Universe for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analyses and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return Fund’s performance for Class A, Class I and Class R6 shares was in the first quintile of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022. 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 satisfactory.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds’ selected share classes in the Universe, as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”). The
| J.P. Morgan Tax Aware Funds | |
Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each 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 each Fund and noted that Universe and Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it can be 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 each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the third quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that both the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and
Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the second and first quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
The Trustees noted that the Tax Aware Real Return Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Letter to ShareholdersDecember 14, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
While the U.S. economy generally performed well this year, global economic growth has been uneven in the face of elevated interest rates and heightened geopolitical tensions. Equity markets largely outperformed fixed income markets for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, though rising yields lifted investor demand for certain types of bonds.
|
"The strong performance of financial markets in 2023 created wider differences in equity valuations that may provide attractive opportunities for investors. Additionally, interest rate reductions next year could benefit high-quality fixed income investments.” — Brian S. Shlissel
|
Inflationary pressures have receded sufficiently so far that the U.S. Federal Reserve declined to raise interest rates since September 2023 and signaled it may reduce rates three times in 2024. Both the European Central Bank and the Bank of England also declined to raise interest rates in the third quarter of 2023. Financial markets largely responded positively to the central banks’ policy stances, though the view that interest rates could remain “higher for longer” appeared to temper investor optimism.
Overall, corporate earnings and revenues within developed markets generally continued to grow through the first three quarters of 2023, though certain surveys indicated many businesses anticipate demand to slow next year. Emerging markets experienced a wider dispersion in economic performance and corporate results, partly due to slower economic growth in China, post-pandemic changes to global supply chains and elevated debt servicing costs.
While some assert that the risk of economic recession has receded in 2023, the risk remains. China’s struggling property sector could further undermine economic growth and spill over to certain commodity exporting nations. Additionally, there is no clear timing with regard to the resolution of the war in Ukraine, which continues to impact global energy and grain supplies. The Israel-Hamas conflict has the potential to both widen militarily and to impact international trade and prices for energy and food. However, financial markets have generally continued to function without major disruptions during the period.
The strong performance of financial markets has created wider differences in equity valuations that may provide attractive opportunities for investors. Additionally, interest rate reductions next year could benefit high-quality fixed income investments.
Our suite of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with the ability to build durable portfolios that meet their financial goals, regardless of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Shlissel

MARKET OVERVIEWTWELVE MONTHS ENDED October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
Equity markets continued to outperform bond markets during the period, generating positive returns largely due to gains made during the first half of 2023. Following a surge in U.S. equity prices, investors largely sought lower equity valuations in international markets in the second half of the period.
Overall, equities in international developed markets outperformed both emerging market and U.S. equities. Growth stocks and large capitalization stocks largely outperformed value stocks and mid cap and small cap stocks. Within fixed income markets, emerging markets debt and lower-rated bonds in developed markets generally outperformed U.S. Treasury bonds.
While the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and The Bank of England continued to raise interest rates at regular intervals through the first half of 2023, declining inflationary pressures allowed all three central banks to withhold further increases at the end of the reporting period.
Corporate earnings were generally better-than-expected for most of the period but results for the third quarter of 2023 showed some slowing in earnings and revenue growth. Tight labor markets in the U.S. eased somewhat in the final months of the period and the jobless rate rose to 3.8% in October 2023, which raised investor expectations that inflation would continue to slow.
Global energy prices largely fell during the period amid slowing demand from China and leading industrialized nations. Crude oil prices spiked briefly in September 2023 when Saudi Arabia and Russia extended production cuts and again in early October at the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, global petroleum prices receded by the end of the period as economic data, including U.S. gasoline consumption, continued to indicate slowing global demand.
Notably, financial sector stocks were roiled by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in late March 2023, followed closely by the failures of Signature Bank and Credit Suisse. In each case, government regulators moved to prevent the erosion of consumer and investor confidence in the banking system.
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, the MSCI EAFE Index returned 15.01%, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 10.80% and the S&P 500 Index returned 10.14%. Within bond markets, the Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Index returned 6.91%, the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Corporate Index returned 6.23%, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned 0.36% and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned 0.36%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize long-term total return.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, the Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”), outperformed the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged USD) and underperformed the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net total return) / 40% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged).
Relative to the Benchmark, which is an all-equity index, the Fund’s underweight allocation to equity was a leading detractor from performance as equity markets outperformed during the period.
Relative to 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net total return) / 40% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged), the Fund’s overall neutral position in equities was a leading detractor from performance, while the Fund’s allocation to developed markets equities and its allocation to a diversified mix of non-government bonds contributed to performance.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
During the reporting period, the Fund’s portfolio managers brought the overall equity allocation to neutral. The portfolio managers decreased the Fund’s allocation to below-investment-grade credit and added to it allocation to higher quality corporate credit. The portfolio managers also increased the Fund’s overall duration by holding non-U.S. government bonds and U.S. Treasury futures. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a portfolio of bonds relative to changes in interest rates. Generally, bonds of longer duration will experience a larger increase in price compared with shorter
duration bonds when interest rates fall.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (10/31/13 TO 10/31/23)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R5 and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R5 and Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 and Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares.
Returns for Class R3 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R3 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares.
Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R4 Shares have higher expenses than Class I Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund, the MSCI All Country World Index (net total return), the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index –
(Unhedged USD) and 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net total return) / 40% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged) from October 31, 2013 to October 31, 2023. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI All Country World Index (net total return), the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index – (Unhedged USD) and 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net total return) / 40% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged) do not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net total return) / 40% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (Unhedged) does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The MSCI All Country World Index (net total return) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index – (Unhedged USD) provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed income markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment. Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the U.S. and other nations.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, the Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the MSCI World Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”), outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index and underperformed the combined 60% MSCI World Index (net total return) / 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index.
Relative to the Benchmark, which is an all-equity index, the Fund’s underweight allocation to equity was a leading detractor from performance as equity markets outperformed fixed income markets during the period.
Relative to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index, which primarily contains U.S. government bonds, the Fund’s allocation to a more diversified set of corporate bonds was a leading contributor to performance.
Relative to the 60% MSCI World Index / 40% Bloomberg US Aggregate Index, the Fund’s overall smaller allocation to growth-style equities early in the period was a leading detractor from performance, while the Fund’s allocation to developed market equities and its mix of corporate credit helped relative performance.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
During the period, the Fund’s portfolio managers decreased the Fund’s overall equities exposure but maintained its positioning in credit. The portfolio managers also increased the Fund’s allocation to higher yielding strategies, including the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF. The portfolio managers sought to balance credit allocations with more conservative exposures
through U.S. Treasury futures.

The MSCI World Index (net total return) assumes the dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident individual investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI World Index (net total return) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization
weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

| High Coupon Bonds (a.k.a. "IOettes") represent the right to receive interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages with similar features as those associated with IO securities. Unlike IO's the owner also has a right to receive a very small portion of principal. The high interest rates result from taking interest payments from other classes in the Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit trust and allocating them to the small principal of the HB class. |

| Intercontinental Exchange |
| Inverse Floaters represent securities that pay interest at a rate that increases (decreases) with a decline (incline) in a specified index or have an interest rate that adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. The interest rate shown is the rate in effect as of October 31, 2023. The rate may be subject to a cap and floor. |
| Interest Only represents the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The principal amount shown represents the par value on the underlying pool. The yields on these securities are subject to accelerated principal paydowns as a result of prepayment or refinancing of the underlying pool of mortgage instruments. As a result, interest income may be reduced considerably. |

| Principal Only represents the right to receive the principal portion only on an underlying pool of mortgage loans.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023
(Dollar values in thousands)
1. Organization
JPMorgan Trust I (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a 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 are 2 separate funds of the Trust (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") covered by this report:
| | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | |
JPMorgan Income Builder Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | |
The investment objective of JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund (“Global Allocation Fund”) is to seek to maximize long-term total return.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (“Income Builder Fund”) is to seek to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds' prospectus. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as adviser (the “Adviser”) and administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments ��� Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds' valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (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 their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Board is required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Board may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Board has designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Funds on behalf of the Board subject to appropriate oversight by the Board. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of Investments held in the Funds. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC 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.
A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds' investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued using prices supplied by approved affiliated and/or unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Boards. This may include the use of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material.
Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from 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 Funds are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post-closing, but prior to the time the NAV is calculated.
Investments in open-end investment companies, excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (“Underlying Funds”), are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Futures contracts and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.
See the tables on “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements” for information on the valuation techniques and inputs used to value level 3 securities held by Income Builder Fund at October 31, 2023.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Funds' investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
•
Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds' assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments ("SOIs"):

The changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at October 31, 2023, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) amounted to $(6,494). This amount is included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
For the year ended October 31, 2023, transfers in and out of level 3 were the result of decreased or increased transparency of market activity (e.g., trades of the Fund’s investments, similar securities of the issuer and/or comparable securities) and observability of certain inputs used by Pricing Services or the Valuation Designee, as applicable, in determining fair value. This change in observability and resulting changes in levels does not impact liquidity or fair value of the Fund's investments or reflect any change in the investment strategy of the Fund.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds' investments are listed below. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for lack of marketability, liquidity discount, probability of default, yield and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the discount rate or prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement.

| The table above does not include certain level 3 investments that are valued by brokers and Pricing Services. At October 31, 2023, the value of these investments was $36,349. The inputs for these investments are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2.A. |
| Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments. |
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
| Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account such multiples when pricing the investments. |
B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the NAVs of the Funds.
As of October 31, 2023, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. Loan Assignments — The Funds invested in debt instruments that are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates (a “Lender”) by corporate, governmental or other borrowers (a “Borrower”). A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “Agent”) that acts as Agent for all holders. The Agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Funds invested in loan assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When a Fund purchases a loan assignment, the Fund has direct rights against the Borrower on a loan. In addition, it is unclear whether loans, loan assignments and other forms of direct indebtedness offer securities law protections against fraud and misrepresentation. Also, because JPMIM may wish to invest in publicly traded securities of a Borrower, it may not have access to material non-public information regarding the Borrower to which other investors have access. Although certain loans are secured by collateral, a Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing the value on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the Borrower.
Loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid when purchased, may become illiquid and difficult to value. In addition, the settlement period for loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Therefore, the Fund may not receive the proceeds from a sale of such investments for a period after the sale.
Certain loan assignments are also subject to the risks associated with high yield securities described under Note 7.
D. Unfunded Commitments — Income Builder Fund may enter into commitments to buy and sell investments, including commitments to buy private placements to settle on future dates, as part of its normal investment activities. Commitments are generally traded and priced as part of a related private placement. The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from unfunded commitments is reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Credit risk exists on these commitments to the extent of any difference between the sales price and current value of the underlying securities sold. Market risk exists on these commitments to buy to the same extent as if the securities were owned on a settled basis and gains and losses are recorded and reported in the same manner.
E. When-Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments — Income Builder Fund purchased when-issued securities, including To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) securities, and entered into contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price that may be settled a month or more after the trade date, or purchased delayed delivery securities which generally settle seven days after the trade date. When-issued securities are securities that have been authorized, but not issued in the market. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date that may be settled a month or more after the trade date. A delayed delivery security is agreed upon in advance between the buyer and the seller of the security and is generally delivered beyond seven days of the agreed upon date. The purchase of securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. The sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. The Funds may be exposed to credit risk if the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the transaction. Interest income for securities purchased on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis is not accrued until the settlement date.
The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral for delayed delivery securities in the form of cash or securities under a Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreement with the counterparties (each, an “MSFTA”). The collateral requirements are generally calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for a Fund's transactions under the MSFTA and comparing that amount to the value of the collateral pledged by a fund and the counterparty. Daily movement of cash collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts. Collateral posted by a Fund is held in a segregated account at the Fund's custodian bank and is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Restricted cash. Collateral received by the Funds is held in a separate segregated account maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan. These amounts are not reflected on the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Builder Fund had when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities or forward commitments outstanding as of October 31, 2023, which are shown as a Payable for Investment securities purchased — delayed delivery securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The values of these securities held at October 31, 2023 are detailed on the SOI, if any.
F. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.
The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.

| Subsequent to October 31, 2023, additional collateral was received. |
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.13% to 0.06%. For the year ended October 31, 2023, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds' investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).
G. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds and ETFs advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. The Underlying Funds’ and ETFs' distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Funds and ETFs. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

H. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund's books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.
I. Derivatives — The Funds used derivative instruments including options, futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, in connection with their respective investment strategy. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Funds can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gain to the Funds. Derivatives may also be used to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets.
The Funds may be subject to various risks from the use of derivatives, including the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the potential lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Funds to close out their position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Funds’ risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds are party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Funds’ ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Funds in the event the Funds’ net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements may also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Funds to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against a counterparty (e.g., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both a counterparty and the Funds often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open

(Dollar values in thousands)
contracts at prices which may favor a counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Funds. The ISDA agreements give the Funds and a counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreements and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable against collateral posted to a segregated account by one party for the benefit of the other.
Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts additional collateral for mark-to-market gains to the Funds.
Notes I(1) - I(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.
(1) Options — Global Allocation Fund purchased put and call options on various instruments including futures, securities and currencies to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Swaptions and Eurodollar options are settled for cash.
Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Options Purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or will offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.
The Fund’s exchange-traded option contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
(2) Futures Contracts — The Funds used currency, index, interest rate, treasury or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to gain or reduce exposure to particular countries or regions. The Funds also used futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.
Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks. The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds' credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.
The Funds' futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
(3) Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — Global Allocation Fund is exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of its portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of its investment strategy. The Fund also bought forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollar without the delivery of the foreign currency.
The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rates of the underlying currencies. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund also records a realized gain or loss, upon settlement, when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty.
The Fund’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
The Fund may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral based on the net value of the Funds’ outstanding options, non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts and/or OTC swap contracts with the counterparty in the form of cash or securities. Daily movement of cash collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts. Collateral posted by the Funds is held in a segregated account at the Funds’ custodian bank. For certain counterparties cash collateral posted by the Funds is invested in an affiliated money market fund (See Note 3.F), otherwise the cash collateral is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Restricted cash for OTC derivatives. Collateral received by the Funds is held in a separate segregated account maintained by JPMCB, an affiliate of the Funds.
The Funds' derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2023 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.
J. Equity-Linked Notes — Income Builder Fund invested in Equity-Linked Notes (“ELNs”). These are hybrid instruments which combine both debt and equity characteristics into a single note form. ELNs' values are linked to the performance of an underlying index. ELNs are unsecured debt obligations of an issuer and may not be publicly listed or traded on an exchange. ELNs are valued daily, under procedures adopted by the Board, based on values provided by an approved pricing source. These notes have a coupon which is accrued and recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations. Changes in the market value of ELNs are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when an ELN is sold or matures, which is recorded as Net realized gain (loss) on transactions from investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
K. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income and interest expense on securities sold short, if any, is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and dividend expense on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a Fund first learns of the dividend. Certain Funds may receive other income from investment in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Funds. These amounts are included in Interest income from non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
L. 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 applicable funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the year ended October 31, 2023 are as follows:
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
M. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds' tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of October 31, 2023, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
N. Foreign Taxes —The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.
O. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least monthly for Income Builder Fund and declared and paid at least quarterly for Global Allocation Fund. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:
| | Accumulated
undistributed
(distributions in
excess of)
net investment
income | Accumulated
net realized
gains (losses) |
| | | |
| | | |
The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses and tax adjustments on certain investments.
3. Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to each Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund's respective average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.010% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the effective rate was 0.075% of each Fund's average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
JPMCB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds' sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.
C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as each Fund's principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A, Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares of each Fund do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
In addition, JPMDS is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the year ended October 31, 2023, JPMDS retained the following:
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to fund shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee with respect to all share classes, except Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
JPMDS 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 Funds. Pursuant to such contracts, JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.
JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay 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 Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statements of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
F. Waivers and Reimbursements —The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Funds' respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the year ended October 31, 2023 and are in place until at least February 29, 2024.
For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds' service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
| | |
| | | | | Contractual
Reimbursements |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/ or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended October 31, 2023 were as follows:
JPMIM voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Funds for the Trustee Fees paid to one of the interested Trustees. For the year ended October 31, 2023 the amount of these reimbursements were as follows:
G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statements of Operations.
The 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 October 31, 2023, the Funds purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.

| | Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation | Gross
Unrealized
Depreciation | Net Unrealized

During the year ended October 31, 2023, the following Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:
6. Borrowings
The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPM II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the year ended October 31, 2023.
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 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 October 29, 2024.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended October 31, 2023.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater on the day of the borrowing, of the federal funds effective rate, or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate. Effective August 8, 2023, the Credit Facility was amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended October 31, 2023.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF October 31, 2023 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
As of October 31, 2023, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or affiliated omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund's outstanding shares as follows:
| Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | | Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Non-Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds' performance and liquidity.
The Funds are subject to interest rate risk. Investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Funds invest in variable and floating rate loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these investments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Funds may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
The Funds are subject to credit risk. The Funds' investments are subject to the risk that an issuer and/or a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Funds' investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Funds' securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e. the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
The Funds invest in high yield securities that are not rated or rated below investment grade (commonly known as "junk bonds"). These securities are considered to be high risk investments. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. Junk bonds involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors' claims. The market price of these securities can change suddenly and unexpectedly. As a result, the Funds are intended for investors who are able and willing to assume a high degree of risk.
Global Allocation Fund may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of foreign countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.
As of October 31, 2023, a significant portion of each Fund's investments consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.
Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds’ original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Funds to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Funds to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Funds to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Funds to value accurately. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Funds do not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Funds may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Funds to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.
The Funds are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Funds.
The Funds invest in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) that are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, liquidity risks and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” a Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. As a result of benchmark reforms, publication of most LIBOR settings has ceased. Some LIBOR settings continue to be published but only on a temporary, synthetic and non-representative basis. Regulated entities have generally ceased entering into new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector actors have worked to establish alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of the Funds' loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Funds' investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Funds' investments may have transitioned from LIBOR or will transition from LIBOR in the future. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Funds or their investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Funds and their investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Funds invest. The effects of any future pandemic or other global event to business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund's investments, increase a Fund's volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic or other global event that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic or other global event and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust I and Shareholders of JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund and JPMorgan Income Builder Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Global Allocation Fund and JPMorgan Income Builder Fund (two of the funds constituting JPMorgan Trust I, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of October 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2023, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2023.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, and expenses of the Underlying Funds. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM(Unaudited)
Each of the Funds covered in this report has adopted the J.P. Morgan Funds and J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds Amended and Restated Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Program seeks to assess, manage and review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk. “Liquidity Risk” is defined as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”) from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Program permits the Funds to use liquidity definitions and classification methodologies that differ from the requirements under the Liquidity Rule in some respects. Among other things, the Liquidity Rule requires that a written report be provided to the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on an annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, including the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (“HLIM”), where applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
The Board has appointed J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Liquidity Risk Forum to be the program administrator for the Program (the “Program Administrator”). In addition to regular reporting at each of its quarterly meetings, on February 7, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, where applicable, the operation of a Fund’s HLIM. There were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period.
The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Program Administrator in assessing whether the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund. Such information and factors included, among other things: (1) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage, and periodically review each Fund’s Liquidity Risk and the results of this assessment; (2) the methodology and inputs for classifying the investments of a Fund into one of the required liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of the liquidity of those investments under current market conditions; (3) whether a Fund invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program), as well as whether an HLIM should be established for a Fund (and, for Funds that have adopted an HLIM, whether the HLIM continues to be appropriate or whether a Fund has invested below its HLIM) and the procedures for monitoring for any HLIM; (4) whether a Fund invested more than 15% of its assets in “Illiquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program) and the procedures for monitoring for this limit; and (5) specific liquidity events arising during the Program Reporting Period. The Report further summarized the conditions of the Exemptive Order and whether all applicable Funds were in compliance with the terms of the Exemptive Order.
Based on this review, the Report concluded that: (1) the Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk; and (2) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund during the Program Reporting Period.
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year and, at each meeting, considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Board also met for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board held meetings June 20-21, 2023 and August 8-10, 2023, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for each Fund and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which the Funds may invest (“Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered each 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 parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 10, 2023.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds and Underlying Funds received from J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”). This information included the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (the “independent consultant”). 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 Funds and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessments as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the
Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the Trustees, and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements with independent legal counsel in executive sessions at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and Underlying Funds throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.
After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the applicable 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. Among other things, the Trustees considered:
• The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
• The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, including personnel changes, if any;
• The investment strategy for each Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams;
• Information about the structure and distribution strategy for each Fund and how it fits within the Adviser’s other fund offerings within the J.P. Morgan Fund complex;
• The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;
• Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Funds and in the financial industry generally;
• The overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates;
• The commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds and Underlying Funds;
• Their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity; and
• The Adviser’s responsiveness to requests for additional information, 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 each Fund and Underlying Fund.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds 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 from providing services to each Fund and Underlying Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to each Fund, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser and reviewed with the Board. 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 upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
The Trustees also considered that JPMorgan Distributions Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an affiliate of the Adviser and the Adviser, earn fees from each Fund and/or Underlying Funds for
providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. 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 Funds’ distributor, and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees earned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting and other related services for each Fund and/or Underlying Funds, and the profitability of the arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds' operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ investments in the Underlying Funds. The Trustees 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, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so. The Trustees also considered the benefit to the Adviser and its affiliates from allocating client assets to the Funds.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from potential economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that certain other Funds that had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain fair and reasonable relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS(Unaudited) (continued)
transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser's and JPMDS's ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser's and/or JPMDS's investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.
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, to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and 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 investment company 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 each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the applicable registered investment company, typically bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees receive and consider information about each Fund’s performance throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for each Fund in a report prepared by
Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of each Fund within a performance universe comprised of funds’ selected share classes with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and noted that Universe quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge 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 each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for each Fund at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared for certain Funds by the independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Global Allocation Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fifth, third and fourth quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for both Class I and Class R6 shares was in the fifth, third and third quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the Income Builder Fund’s performance for Class A, Class I and Class R6 shares was in the third, fourth and fourth quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance 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 satisfactory under the circumstances.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other
funds’ selected share classes in the Universe, as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”). The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each 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 each Fund and noted that Universe and Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it can be 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 each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Global Allocation Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the
net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the second and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund and that such fees would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory contracts of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.
The Trustees noted that the Income Builder Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the third quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the first and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the third quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the second and first quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund and that such fees would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory contracts of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund may invest.

(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 experts are Gary L. French, Kathleen M. Gallagher, Raymond Kanner and Lawrence R. Maffia, each of whom is not an “interested person” of the Registrant and is also “independent” as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the purposes of the audit committee financial expert determination.
(3) If the registrant provides the disclosure required by paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this Item, it must explain why it does not have an audit committee financial expert.
Not applicable.

2023 – Not applicable
2022 – Not applicable
(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.
(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
2023 – 0.0%
2022 – 0.0%
(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
Not applicable - Less than 50%.
(g) Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant.
The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were:
2022 - $31.9 million
2021 - $30.8 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.
(i) A registrant identified by the Commission pursuant to Section 104(i)(2)(A) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214(i)(2)(A)), as having retained, for the preparation of the audit report on its financial statements included in the Form NCSR, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction must electronically submit to the Commission on a supplemental basis documentation that establishes that the registrant is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in the foreign jurisdiction. The registrant must submit this documentation on or before the due date for this form. A registrant that is owned or controlled by a foreign governmental entity is not required to submit such documentation.
Not applicable.
(j) A registrant that is a foreign issuer, as defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-4, identified by the Commission pursuant to Section 104(i)(2)(A) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214(i)(2)(A)), as having retained, for the preparation of the audit report on its financial statements included in the Form N-CSR, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction, for each year in which the registrant is so identified, must provide the below disclosures. Also, any such identified foreign issuer that uses a variable-interest entity or any similar structure that results in additional foreign entities being consolidated in the financial statements of the registrant is required to provide the below disclosures for itself and its consolidated foreign operating entity or entities. A registrant must disclose:
| | (1) | That, for the immediately preceding annual financial statement period, a registered public accounting firm that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely, because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction, issued an audit report for the registrant; |
| | (2) | The percentage of shares of the registrant owned by governmental entities in the foreign jurisdiction in which the registrant is incorporated or otherwise organized; |
| | (3) | Whether governmental entities in the applicable foreign jurisdiction with respect to that registered public accounting firm have a controlling financial interest with respect to the registrant; |
| | (4) | The name of each official of the Chinese Communist Party who is a member of the board of directors of the registrant or the operating entity with respect to the registrant; and |
| | (5) | Whether the articles of incorporation of the registrant (or equivalent organizing document) contains any charter of the Chinese Communist Party, including the text of any such charter. |
Not applicable.
