Dear Valued Shareholder,
Thank you for being an investor in J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds. A special meeting of shareholders of your Fund(s) is scheduled to be held on August 22, 2019.We need your proxy vote as soon as possible to allow us to proceed with important business of the Funds.
The purpose of the Meeting is to ask shareholders of the Funds to vote to approve a new management agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser (“JPMIM”), which will implement a unitary fee structure. If approved,this proposal will NOT result in an increase in a Fund’s current net expense ratio or change the level of services provided by JPMIM. This change is intended to benefit shareholders by eliminating the downside risk that Fund fees might increase during periods when Fund expenses increase or when Fund assets decline (making such expenses a larger percentage of Fund assets), particularly if current expense caps were changed or allowed to expire in the future.The Board of Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal.
Please help us by casting your proxy vote today.
Details of the special meeting are described in the proxy statement that has been sent to all shareholders. For more information, please refer to the proxy statement, which can be found atproxyonline.com/docs/jpmorganetfs.pdf.If you have any proxy related questions, or would like to cast your proxy vote by phone, please call1-800-848-3374 for assistance.
