Dear Shareholders,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001193125-22-187849/g314768imgff70a3c72.jpg) | “The market environment remains challenging; investors should recognize the risks in trying to time market movements, as well as the potential long-term benefits of portfolio diversification.” — Andrea L. Lisher
|
Global economic growth has been hindered by accelerating inflation, the conflict in Ukraine and regional surges in pandemic infections. While equity markets largely rallied in the final months of 2021 and continued to outperform bond markets, a more hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022 set off a cascade of weakening investor sentiment.
In the U.S., continued job growth, strong consumer spending and resilient corporate earnings in the first quarter of 2022 helped to offset a contraction in real economic growth. Meanwhile, in response to the highest levels of inflation in nearly 40 years, the Fed raised its benchmark interest rate in March 2022 for the first time since 2018 and then raised it again in both May and June.
Elsewhere, the Bank of England has raised interest rates multiple times since the start of 2022 and the European Central Bank has signaled it is poised to raise interest rates in July 2022, which would mark the first rate increase in the European Union in 11 years.
Meanwhile, emerging markets generally struggled during the six months ended April 30, 2022 as rising prices for energy and food weighed on economic growth. Additionally, a pandemic resurgence in China in early 2022 led to strict lockdowns in several large cities, which hurt manufacturing and other economic activity and had a spillover effect on other emerging market economies.
The market environment remains challenging; investors should recognize the risks in trying to time market movements, as well as the potential long-term benefits of portfolio diversification. J.P. Morgan Asset Management will seek to deliver superior client outcomes across a broad range of innovative solutions and risk management processes built on the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century.
On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW
SIX MONTHS ENDED April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
While developed market equities rallied in the final months of 2021, a resurgence in the pandemic, surging inflation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022 dented the global economic outlook and erased equity market gains for the six month period. Overall, both global equity and fixed income markets largely generated negative returns for the period, with emerging markets largely underperforming developed markets.
U.S. equity prices largely maintained upward momentum in the final months of 2021 amid low interest rates, a boom in household wealth and record corporate earnings and revenues. However, investor concerns about the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 and surging inflationary pressure fueled market volatility in 2022 and Russia’s military build-up and invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 put further pressure on U.S. equity prices.
In mid-March 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve followed through on its stated plan and raised interest rates for the first time since December 2018, and pledged to raise rates six more times in 2022. While U.S. equity prices rebounded somewhat for the month, both equity and bond markets slumped in April as negotiations to end the Ukraine conflict failed and global supply-chain disruptions increased. Notably, the U.S. dollar strengthened against other major currencies in early 2022, which provided a significant drag on both the domestic economy and corporate earnings. However, job growth in the U.S. continued throughout the six month period.
European and U.K. equities largely ended 2021 with gains but the reimposition of social restrictions in response to the spread of Omicron and the outbreak of fighting in Ukraine weighed on financial markets in early 2022. While initial multilateral trade and financial sanctions against Russia excluded its energy sector, prices for natural gas and petroleum rose sharply across Europe and the potential disruption of energy supplies hurt investor sentiment.
Unemployment in both the Euro area and the U.K. had fallen to near multi-decade lows by the end of April 2022 but consumer sentiment across both regions tumbled lower in 2022. During the six month period, the European Central Bank maintained its ultra-low interest rate policy, while the Bank of England raised rates three times during the period amid the highest annual inflation rate in 30 years.
Within emerging markets, both equities and bonds underperformed throughout the six month period. China proved be the largest drag on emerging markets during the period as investor concerns about tighter regulatory scrutiny of large technology companies in 2021 gave way to strict lockdowns in several large cities amid a resurgence in COVID-19 infections throughout the country. The expected slowdown in China’s economy, and in its manufacturing sector in particular, weighed down financial markets in its emerging market trading partners. Rising prices for energy and a range of other commodities also raised investor concerns about economic growth across emerging market nations, particularly net importers of petroleum and natural gas. Additionally, the prospect of rising U.S. interest rates weighed on emerging market bond prices.
The S&P 500 Index returned -9.65%, the MSCI EAFE Index returned -11.58% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned -14.04% for the six months ended April 30, 2022.

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 (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the financials and information technology sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the energy sector was the sole sector contributor to relative performance.
By country, the Fund’s security selections in China and Taiwan were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position in Russia and overweight position in Indonesia were leading contributors to relative performance. By the end of the period, the Fund had no holdings in Russia.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Sea Ltd., EPAM Systems Inc. and Delivery Hero SE. Shares of Sea, a Singapore internet and mobile platform provider, fell after Tencent Holdings Ltd. reduced its stake in the company to about 19% from 21%. Shares of EPAM Systems, a global provider of software development and digital platform services that largely operates from Belarus, fell after the company withdrew its earnings forecasts due to uncertainty and business disruptions stemming from the military conflict in Ukraine.
Shares of Delivery Hero, a German food ordering and delivery service, fell after the company forecast breakeven results for its food delivery business in the first half of 2022.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Gazprom PJSC and PJSC Lukoil and its overweight position Bank Rakyat Indonesia PT. Shares of both Gazprom and Lukoil, Russian natural gas and petroleum producers, fell after the imposition of multilateral economic sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Shares of Bank Rakyat, an Indonesian financial services provider, rose amid strong commodity exports and consumer demand in Indonesia.
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 information technology and consumer staples sectors and its largest relative underweight allocations were in the materials and energy sectors. The Fund’s largest country overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in Hong Kong and India and its largest relative underweight allocations were in South Korea and Taiwan.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (4/30/12 TO 4/30/22)
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. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R5 Shares and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class L Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 Shares and Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 Shares and Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class L Shares.
Returns shown for Class R2 Shares and Class R3 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares and Class R3 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares and 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 of 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 $3,000,000 invested in Class L Shares of the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net total return) from April 30, 2012 to April 30, 2022. 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 Emerging Markets 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 Emerging Markets 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 emerging markets. 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.

SIX MONTHS ENDED April 30, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
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 Research Enhanced Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class R6 Shares underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
By sector, the Fund’s security selection in the financials and materials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and communication services sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
By country, the Fund’s security selections in India and Taiwan were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s overweight position in Russia early in the period and its overweight position in Mexico were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in PJSC Sberbank, PJSC Lukoil and X5 Retail Group. Shares of Sberbank, a Russian bank and financial services provider, Lukoil, a Russian natural gas and petroleum producer and X5 Retail Group, a Russian food retailer, all fell after the imposition of multilateral economic sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Yandex NV and PAO Novatek and its overweight position in Alinma Bank.
Shares of Yandex, a Dutch e-commerce and taxi service provider not held in the Fund, fell amid investor concerns about its larger exposure to Russia and the potential impact of multilateral sanctions on its business. Shares of Novatek, a Russian natural gas and petroleum producer, fell after the imposition of multilateral economic sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Shares of Alinma, a Saudi Arabian bank, rose amid investor expectations that rising global energy prices would benefit the broader Saudi Arabian economy.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a combination of a disciplined portfolio construction process with in-depth fundamental research into individual securities conducted by a global network of research analysts to identify what they believed to be their relative value.
As a result of this process, by sector, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the energy and consumer staples sectors and its largest underweight allocations were in the communication services and utilities sectors. By country, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in Mexico and Hong Kong and its largest relative underweight allocations were in China and India.

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 six months ended April 30, 2022.
Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s security selection in the industrials sector and its underweight position in the health care sector were leading detractors from performance, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and utilities sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Shell PLC and AstraZeneca PLC and its out-of-Benchmark position in Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen -und Medizintechnik AG. Shares of Shell, a U.K. integrated petroleum and natural gas company not held in the Fund, rose amid rising global energy prices. Shares of AstraZeneca, a U.K. pharmaceuticals company, rose amid investor expectations for regulator approval of the company’s treatment for Covid-19 and its variants. Shares of Eckert & Ziegler, a German, medical radiation therapies developer, fell as investors sold the stock following runup in the share price in 2021.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in BP PLC and Equinor ASA, and its underweight position in ASML Holding NV. Shares of BP, a U.K. integrated petroleum and natural gas company, rose amid rising global energy prices. Shares of Equinor, a Norwegian petroleum and natural gas producer, rose amid rising global energy prices. Shares of ASML Holding, a Dutch semiconductor manufacturer, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021.
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.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (4/30/12 TO 4/30/22)
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. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class L Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class L Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund and the MSCI Europe Index (net total return) from April 30, 2012 to April 30, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the MSCI Europe 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 Europe 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 the developed markets countries in Europe. 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 A Shares have a $1,000 minimum initial investment and carry a 5.25% sales charge.
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 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 underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
The Fund’s security selections in the health care and communication services sectors were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s security selections in the materials and utilities sectors were leading contributors to relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s security selection in Japan and the Pacific, excluding Japan, were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position in the U.K. and its out-of-Benchmark position in emerging markets were the smallest detractors from relative performance and no sectors made a positive contribution to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Sea Ltd., Delivery Hero SE and Keyence Corp. Shares of Sea, a Singapore internet
and mobile platform provider, fell after Tencent Holdings Ltd. reduced its stake in the company to about 19% from 21%. Shares of Delivery Hero, a German food ordering service, fell after the company forecast breakeven results for its food delivery business in the first half of 2022. Shares of Keyence, a Japanese automation technology provider, fell amid investor concerns about the impact of a slowing global economy and China’s pandemic lockdowns during the period.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in BHP Group Ltd., Anglo American PLC and DBS Group Holdings Ltd. Shares of both BHP Group, an Australian mining and metals company, and Anglo American PLC, a U.K. mining and metals company, rose amid surging global prices for commodities. Shares of DBS Group Holdings, a Singapore financial services provider, rose amid consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings during the period.
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.

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.

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 outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) and underperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the six months ended April 30, 2022. 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 communication services and health care sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight positions in the materials and energy sectors were leading detractors from relative performance.
By country, the Fund’s security selection in Switzerland and Singapore was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection and underweight position in the U.K. and its security selection in Italy were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Sea Ltd. and its overweight positions in Rio Tinto PLC and RWE AG. Shares of
Sea, a Singapore-based internet and mobile platform provider, fell after Tencent Holdings Ltd. reduced its stake in the company to about 19% from 21%. Shares of Rio Tinto, a U.K. mining and metals company, rose after the company forecast growth in iron ore shipments in the second half of 2022. Shares of RWE, a German electric utility, rose amid rising energy prices across Europe.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Ryochin Keikaku Co. and Infineon Technologies AG and its underweight position in Glencore PLC. Shares of Ryochin Keikaku, an apparel and household goods retailer operating under the Muji brand, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings amid increased pandemic-related expenses and lower sales in Japan and China. Shares of Infineon Technologies, a semiconductor manufacturer, fell amid slowing demand from the automotive subsector. Shares of Glencore, a U.K. mining and minerals company not held in the Fund, rose amid surging global commodities prices.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (2/22/19 TO 4/30/22)
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. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 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 BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index from March 15, 2019 to April 30, 2022. 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 BofAML 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
BofAML 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.
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.
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.
The MSCI information may only be used for your internal use, may not be reproduced or redisseminated in any form and may not be used as a basis for or a component of any financial instruments or products or indices. None of the MSCI information is intended to constitute investment advice or a

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan International Research Enhanced Equity 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 underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
The Fund’s underweight positions in the materials and energy sectors were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the communication services and health care sectors were leading contributors to relative performance.
By region, the Fund��s security selection in the U.K. was the sole regional detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in Europe, excluding the U.K., and in the Pacific, excluding Japan, was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Due to the Fund holding a relatively large number of securities during the reporting period, the impact of individual holdings on the Fund’s relative performance tended to be small.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
Using the fundamental equity insights generated by analysts, the Fund’s portfolio managers took overweight positions in securities included within the universe of the Benchmark that they considered undervalued, while underweighting or not holding securities in the Benchmark that they considered overvalued.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan 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 underperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net total return) (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight positions in the information technology and real estate sectors were leading detractors from relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s security selection in the U.K. and Europe was a leading detractor from relative performance, while the Fund’s security selection in Japan was the sole regional contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Shell PLC, British American Tobacco PLC and AstraZeneca PLC. Shares of Shell, a U.K. integrated petroleum and natural gas company, rose amid rising global energy prices. Shares of British American Tobacco, a U.K. tobacco products maker not held in the Fund, rose amid
the company’s efforts to enter the retail market for cannabis products. Shares of AstraZeneca, a U.K. pharmaceuticals company not held in the Fund, rose amid investor expectations of regulatory approvals of the company’s treatment for Covid-19 and its variants.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in SAP SE, BASF AG and SoftBank Group Corp. Shares of SAP, a German software and services company not held in the Fund, fell amid a sell-off in the broader European information technology sector. Shares of BASF, a German chemicals and materials manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell after the company forecast lower-than-expected sales and revenue in 2022. Shares of SoftBank Group, a Japanese technology sector holding company not held in the Fund, fell amid investor concerns about the company’s exposure to technology businesses in China.
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 had attractive valuations. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest overweight positions relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors, while the largest underweight positions were in the

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (4/30/12 TO 4/30/22)
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. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 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 their inception dates 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 International Value Fund and the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net total return) from April 30, 2012 to April 30, 2022. 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.

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 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.
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Boards with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds' investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds' investments, as directed by the Boards. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the 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 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 NAVs are 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 are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts 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 April 30, 2022, 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 as of April 30, 2022.

|
* | 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.
118 | J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | April 30, 2022 |
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%.

Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | 2 |
Europe Dynamic Fund | 2 |
International Equity Fund | 8 |
International Focus Fund | 3 |
International Research Enhanced Equity Fund | 4 |
International Value Fund | 1 |
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).
D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds and ETFs which are 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. Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds and ETFs. 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
122 | J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | April 30, 2022 |
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period 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 Funds 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 Funds will lose the entire premium they 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 Funds 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 on 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 Funds record 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.
The Funds are 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 Funds' 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 — Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, Europe Dynamic Fund, International Hedged Equity Fund, International Research Enhanced Equity Fund and International Value 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. 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 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' derivatives contracts held at April 30, 2022 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 six months ended April 30, 2022 are as follows:
| Class A | Class C | Class I | Class L | Class R2 | Class R3 | Class R4 | Class R5 | Class R6 | Total |

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 April 30, 2022, 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, or since inception if shorter, 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 European Dynamic Fund (Finland & Sweden), International Equity Fund (Sweden), International Focus Fund (Finland), International Research Enhanced Equity Fund (Finland & Sweden) and International Value Fund (Finland, Spain & Sweden) 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, 2021 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, 2021 and are included in IRS Compliance Fees for foreign withholding tax reclaims on the Statements of Operations, if applicable.
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.
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:
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | 0.68% |
Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | 0.25 |
Europe Dynamic Fund | 0.60 |
International Equity Fund | 0.50 |
International Focus Fund | 0.60 |
International Hedged Equity Fund | 0.25 |
International Research Enhanced Equity Fund | 0.20 |
International Value Fund | 0.55 |

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 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the six months ended April 30, 2022, the effective annualized rate for Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, Europe Dynamic Fund, International Equity Fund, International Focus Fund, International Hedged Equity Fund, International Research Enhanced Equity Fund and International Value Fund was 0.07%, 0.075%, 0.075%, 0.075%, 0.075%, 0.075%, 0.075% and 0.075%, respectively 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.

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.

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 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 six months ended April 30, 2022. Average borrowings from the Facility during the six months ended April 30, 2022 were as follows:
| Average Borrowings | Average Interest Rate paid | Number of Days Outstanding | Interest Paid |
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | $45,389 | 0.83% | 20 | $14 |
Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | 12,242 | 0.81 | 2 | 1 |

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 31, 2022.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended April 30, 2022.
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 $25,000,000 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 $25,000,000 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%, which has decreased from 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the
130 | J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | April 30, 2022 |
unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 10, 2021, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a reduction of the Applicable Margin charged for borrowing under the Credit Facility from 1.25% to 1.00%.
The Fund did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended April 30, 2022.
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 April 30, 2022, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or 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 | % of the Fund | Number of Individual Shareholder and/or Non-Affiliated Omnibus Accounts | % of the Fund |
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | — | —% | 3 | 43.4% |
Europe Dynamic Fund | 3 | 45.3 | 1 | 11.6 |

International Research Enhanced Equity Fund | 1 | 10.4 | 1 | 10.4 |
International Value Fund | — | — | 1 | 80.8 |
As of April 30, 2022, J.P. Morgan Investor Funds, JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds and JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Funds, which are affiliated fund of funds, each owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows:
| J.P. Morgan Investor Funds | JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds | JPMorgan SmartRetirement Blend Funds |
Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | 10.5% | 31.5% | 39.9% |

International Equity Fund | — | 49.8 | — |
International Focus Fund | 11.6 | — | — |
International Research Enhanced Equity Fund | 19.3 | 60.5 | — |
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.

As of April 30, 2022, 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.
In addition, a Fund is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries.
LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA's consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or 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 prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and
132 | J.P. Morgan International Equity Funds | April 30, 2022 |
result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of a Fund's investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a 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 a Fund and its investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain disruptions and increased government spending may continue to 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 the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
8. Redemptions in-kind
On April 21, 2022, certain shareholders sold Class R6 Shares of International Focus Fund. The portfolio securities were delivered primarily by means of a redemption in-kind in exchange for shares of the Fund. Cash and portfolio securities were transferred as detailed below:
Fund | Value | Type |
International Focus Fund | $1,236,430(a) | Redemption in-kind |
|
(a) | This amount includes cash of $99,867 associated with the redemption in-kind. |
9. Subsequent Event
At a meeting held on January 13, 2022, the Board approved the reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of International Research Enhanced Equity Fund into a newly created exchange-traded fund, JPMorgan International Research Enhanced Equity ETF (“JPM International Research Enhanced Equity ETF”), a series of J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust. The Reorganization occurred as of the close of business on June 10, 2022 (the “Closing Date”). Following the Reorganization, International Research Enhanced Equity Fund’s performance and financial history were adopted by JPM International Research Enhanced Equity ETF. In connection with the Reorganization, each shareholder of International Research Enhanced Equity Fund (except as noted below) received shares of JPM International Research Enhanced Equity ETF equal in value to the number of shares of International Research Enhanced Equity Fund they owned on the Closing Date, including a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of JPM International Research Enhanced Equity ETF, which cash payment may be taxable. Shareholders of International Research Enhanced Equity Fund who did not hold their shares through a brokerage account that could accept shares of JPM International Research Enhanced Equity ETF on the Closing Date had their Fund shares liquidated, and such shareholders received cash equal in value to their International Research Enhanced Equity Fund shares, which cash payment may be taxable. Shareholders of International Research Enhanced Equity Fund who held their shares through a fund direct individual retirement account and did not take action prior to the Reorganization had their Fund shares exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to their International Research Enhanced Equity Fund shares. JPM International Research Enhanced Equity ETF has the same investment adviser, investment objective and fundamental investment policies and substantially similar investment strategies as International Research Enhanced Equity Fund. Effective as of the close of business on June 10, 2022, International Research Enhanced Equity Fund ceased operations in connection with the consummation of the Reorganization.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
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 ETFs) 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, November 1, 2021, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, April 30, 2022.
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 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)
Each of the Funds covered in this report have 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. 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 8, 2022, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (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. During the Program Reporting Period, the Program was amended, pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, to permit the Funds to use liquidity definitions and classification methodologies that differ from the requirements under the Liquidity Rule in some respects. The
Report discussed the implementation of these changes. No other material changes were made 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.
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.

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001193125-22-187849/g338433imgfe4be17f2.jpg) | “The market environment remains challenging; investors should recognize the risks in trying to time market movements, as well as the potential long-term benefits of portfolio diversification.” — Andrea L. Lisher
|
Global economic growth has been hindered by accelerating inflation, the conflict in Ukraine and regional surges in pandemic infections. While equity markets largely rallied in the final months of 2021 and continued to outperform bond markets, a more hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022 set off a cascade of weakening investor sentiment.
In the U.S., continued job growth, strong consumer spending and resilient corporate earnings in the first quarter of 2022 helped to offset a contraction in real economic growth. Meanwhile, in response to the highest levels of inflation in nearly 40 years, the Fed raised its benchmark interest rate in March 2022 for the first time since 2018 and then raised it again in both May and June.
Elsewhere, the Bank of England has raised interest rates multiple times since the start of 2022 and the European Central Bank has signaled it is poised to raise interest rates in July 2022, which would mark the first rate increase in the European Union in 11 years.
Meanwhile, emerging markets generally struggled during the six months ended April 30, 2022 as rising prices for energy and food weighed on economic growth. Additionally, a pandemic resurgence in China in early 2022 led to strict lockdowns in several large cities, which hurt manufacturing and other economic activity and had a spillover effect on other emerging market economies.
The market environment remains challenging; investors should recognize the risks in trying to time market movements, as well as the potential long-term benefits of portfolio diversification. J.P. Morgan Asset Management will seek to deliver superior client outcomes across a broad range of innovative solutions and risk management processes built on the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century.
On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.

MARKET OVERVIEW
SIX MONTHS ENDED April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
While developed market equities rallied in the final months of 2021, a resurgence in the pandemic, surging inflation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022 dented the global economic outlook and erased equity market gains for the six month period. Overall, both global equity and fixed income markets largely generated negative returns for the period, with emerging markets largely underperforming developed markets.
U.S. equity prices largely maintained upward momentum in the final months of 2021 amid low interest rates, a boom in household wealth and record corporate earnings and revenues. However, investor concerns about the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 and surging inflationary pressure fueled market volatility in 2022 and Russia’s military build-up and invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 put further pressure on U.S. equity prices.
In mid-March 2022, the U.S. Federal Reserve followed through on its stated plan and raised interest rates for the first time since December 2018, and pledged to raise rates six more times in 2022. While U.S. equity prices rebounded somewhat for the month, both equity and bond markets slumped in April as negotiations to end the Ukraine conflict failed and global supply-chain disruptions increased. Notably, the U.S. dollar strengthened against other major currencies in early 2022, which provided a significant drag on both the domestic economy and corporate earnings. However, job growth in the U.S. continued throughout the six month period.
European and U.K. equities largely ended 2021 with gains but the reimposition of social restrictions in response to the spread of Omicron and the outbreak of fighting in Ukraine weighed on financial markets in early 2022. While initial multilateral trade and financial sanctions against Russia excluded its energy sector, prices for natural gas and petroleum rose sharply across Europe and the potential disruption of energy supplies hurt investor sentiment.
Unemployment in both the Euro area and the U.K. had fallen to near multi-decade lows by the end of April 2022 but consumer sentiment across both regions tumbled lower in 2022. During the six month period, the European Central Bank maintained its ultra-low interest rate policy, while the Bank of England raised rates three times during the period amid the highest annual inflation rate in 30 years.
Within emerging markets, both equities and bonds underperformed throughout the six month period. China proved be the largest drag on emerging markets during the period as investor concerns about tighter regulatory scrutiny of large technology companies in 2021 gave way to strict lockdowns in several large cities amid a resurgence in COVID-19 infections throughout the country. The expected slowdown in China’s economy, and in its manufacturing sector in particular, weighed down financial markets in its emerging market trading partners. Rising prices for energy and a range of other commodities also raised investor concerns about economic growth across emerging market nations, particularly net importers of petroleum and natural gas. Additionally, the prospect of rising U.S. interest rates weighed on emerging market bond prices.
The S&P 500 Index returned -9.65%, the MSCI EAFE Index returned -11.58% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 14.04% for the six months ended April 30, 2022.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Macro Opportunities 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 posted a negative absolute performance and underperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index(the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
Within equity, the Fund’s long exposures to the technology and consumer discretionary sectors were leading detractors from absolute performance during the period, largely due to investor expectations for rising U.S. interest rates. Within the technology sector, shares of companies involved in digital transformation and cloud computing were hurt by investor concerns about the rising costs of capital borrowing amid rising interest rates. The Fund’s global media streaming strategy also detracted from absolute performance amid weaker-than-expected earnings updates within the subsector.
The Fund’s defensive sector exposures, including in the health care and utilities sectors, which were held to reflect the cyclical economic slowdown, contributed to absolute performance. The Fund’s short positions in U.S. and European equities via options and futures also contributed to absolute performance. The Fund’s short position in the Nasdaq Composite Index via futures, which was held to hedge some of the Fund’s long technology sector exposure also contributed to absolute performance. The Fund’s long U.S. dollar positions against currencies that are generally sensitive to the strength of China’s
economy, including the Australian dollar, also contributed to absolute performance.
Within fixed income, the Fund’s long Australian government bond strategy was a leading detractor from absolute performance amid the Bank of Australia’s accelerated path toward interest rate policy normalization.
Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s allocation to equity was the leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, which is a fixed income index that contains no equity.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
Against a cyclical economic slowdown backdrop and with increased risk of moving into economic contraction, the Fund’s portfolio managers sought a lower level of portfolio risk and reduced the Fund’s cyclical exposure by adding short positions in equity futures and options across U.S., European and emerging markets, as well as a greater weighting toward defensive areas of the equity market. Given near term geopolitical risk in the region, the portfolio managers removed the Fund’s long position in Chinese renminbi vs. a short position in the Taiwanese dollar strategy, which had been established through foreign exchange forward contracts.
In February 2022, prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the portfolio managers removed the Fund’s exposure to PJSC Sberbank, resulting in the Fund holding no assets in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus. Due to Europe’s greater reliance on Russian commodities, the portfolio managers reduced the Fund’s exposure to European financials during the period.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (4/15/20 TO 4/30/22)
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. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
The Fund commenced operations on April 15, 2020.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to its inception 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 Macro Opportunities Fund and the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index from April 15, 2020 to April 30, 2022. 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 BofAML 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 gains distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The ICE BofAML 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.
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 Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
The Fund’s short positions in the communication services sector and its long positions in the industrials sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s long positions in the health care sector and its short positions in the consumer discretionary sector were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from absolute performance included the Fund’s long positions in Tempur Sealy International Inc. and Zscaler Inc. and shares of Seagate Technology Inc. Shares of Tempur Sealy International, a beds and bedding products maker, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021. Shares of Zscaler, a cloud internet security platform provider, fell after the company issued a lower-than-expected earnings forecast in late February 2022.
Shares of Seagate Technology, a data storage provider, fell after the company lowered its outlook for the third quarter of 2022.
Leading individual contributors to absolute performance included the Fund’s long positions in UnitedHealth Group Inc. and CF Industries Holdings Inc., and its short position in 3M Co. Shares of UnitedHealth Group, a health insurance provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the first quarter of 2022. Shares of CF Industries, a fertilizer manufacturer, rose amid improved pricing and after the company issued a positive outlook. Shares of 3M, an industrial, safety and consumer products manufacturer, fell amid inflationary pressure and weaker-than-expected profit margins.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
During the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Fund invested the majority of its assets in long and short positions in equity securities, selecting from a universe of equity securities with market capitalizations similar to those included in the S& P 500 Index. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to achieve lower volatility than the Benchmark through a disciplined research process, security selection and risk management. For the six month reporting period, the Fund’s average gross exposure was 93% and its average net exposure was 41%.

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.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended April 30, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the media sector and its security selection in the retail sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the pharmaceuticals & health care sector and industrial cyclical sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s short positions in Kroger Co. and Omnicom Group Inc. and its long position in Shopify Inc. Shares of Kroger, a supermarket and department store chain, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021. Shares of Omicron Group, an advertising and marketing company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022. Shares of Shopify, an online merchant sales platform provider, fell after
the company reported declining growth amid reduced online spending by consumers during the period.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s short position in Moderna Inc., and its long positions in Mastercard Inc. and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Shares of Moderna, a pharmaceutical maker, underperformed amid investor concerns about disappointing clinical data for the company’s flu vaccine and slowing demand for its COVID-19 vaccine. Shares of Mastercard, a payment processing provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021. Shares of Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021.
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 mid-cap stocks into five quintiles. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked to the top two quintiles for potential long positions in stocks that they believed were undervalued and the bottom two quintiles for potential short positions in stocks that they believed were overvalued.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF April 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
(Dollar values in thousands)
1. Organization
JPMorgan Trust I (“JPM I") and JPMorgan Trust IV (“JPM IV") (collectively, the “Trusts”) were formed on November 12, 2004 and November 11, 2015, respectively, as Delaware statutory trusts, pursuant to Declarations of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and November 11, 2015, respectively, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies.
The following are 3 separate funds of the Trusts (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") covered by this report:
| Classes Offered | Trust | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Macro Opportunities Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | JPM IV | Diversified |
JPMorgan Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | JPM I | Non-Diversified |
JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund | Class A, Class C and Class I | JPM I | Diversified |
The investment objective of JPMorgan Macro Opportunities Fund (“Macro Opportunities Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund (“Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund”) is to seek capital appreciation.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Research Market Neutral Fund (“Research Market Neutral 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 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. Effective October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Prior to October 1, 2020, Class C Shares automatically converted to Class A Shares after ten 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 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.
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Boards with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds' investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Funds' investments, as directed by the Boards. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Boards.
Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values ("NAV") of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date.
42 | J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | April 30, 2022 |
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 NAVs are 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.
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 April 30, 2022, 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 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.
44 | J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | April 30, 2022 |
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 six months ended April 30, 2022.
D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds and ETFs which are 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. Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds and ETFs. 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 period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.
F. Derivatives — The Funds used derivative instruments including options, futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, in connection with their respective investment strategies. 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 effectively manage the long and short equity exposures in the portfolio, manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.
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 a Fund to close out its 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 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.
46 | J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | April 30, 2022 |
Notes F(1) - F(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.
(1) Options — Macro Opportunities Fund and Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund purchased and/or sold ("wrote") put and call options on various instruments including currencies, futures, securities, options on indices and interest rate swaps ("swaptions") to manage and hedge interest rate risks within their portfolios 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.
Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Funds 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 Funds will lose the entire premium they 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 Funds 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 on 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 Funds record 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.
The Funds are 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 Funds' 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). The Funds' over-the-counter ("OTC") options are subject to master netting agreements.
The Funds may be required to post or receive collateral for OTC options. Cash collateral posted by the Funds is considered restricted.
(2) Futures Contracts — Macro Opportunities Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund used index, interest rate and treasury futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Funds also used index futures contracts to more effectively manage the long and short equity exposures in the portfolio. 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. 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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF April 30, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
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 — Macro Opportunities Fund is exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of the portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of the 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. dollars without the delivery of the foreign currency.
The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as 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 OTC options and non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange 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 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Funds.
The Funds' derivatives contracts held at April 30, 2022 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.
G. Short Sales — Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund engaged in short sales as part of their normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Funds sell 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 Funds borrow securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Funds deliver the same securities to the broker.
The Funds are 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 Funds' custodian for the benefit of the broker is recorded as Restricted cash for securities sold short on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the SOIs. The Funds 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
50 | J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | April 30, 2022 |
(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 Statements of Operations.
The Funds are 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 Statements of Operations as Dividend expense on securities sold short. The Funds are 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 Statements of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements 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 Funds are also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.
The Funds 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 Funds replace the borrowed security. The Funds will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.
As of April 30, 2022, Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on their SOIs.
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, and dividend expense on securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when a 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 six months ended April 30, 2022 are as follows:
| Class A | Class C | Class I | Class R6 | Total |
Macro Opportunities Fund | | | | | |
Transfer agency fees | $—(a) | $—(a) | $—(a) | $ —(a) | $ —(a) |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | | | | | |
Transfer agency fees | 1 | —(a) | 9 | —(a) | 10 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | | | | | |
Transfer agency fees | 1 | —(a) | 2 | n/a | 3 |

(a) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |

AS OF April 30, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(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 April 30, 2022, 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. Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund's and Research Market Neutral Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. When filed, Macro Opportunities Fund's Federal tax return since inception will be 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.
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.
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:
Macro Opportunities Fund | 0.60% |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | 1.20 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | 0.35 |
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 0.01% of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the six months ended April 30, 2022, the effective annualized rate for the Funds 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 Boards have 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 the Funds 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:
| Class A | Class C |
Macro Opportunities Fund | 0.25% | 0.75% |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | 0.25 | 0.75 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | 0.25 | 0.75 |
52 | J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | April 30, 2022 |
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 six months ended April 30, 2022, JPMDS retained the following:
| Front-End Sales Charge | CDSC |
Macro Opportunities Fund | $—(a) | $— |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | 2 | — |
Research Market Neutral Fund | —(a) | — |
|
(a) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
D. Service Fees — The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, have 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:
| Class A | Class C | Class I |
Macro Opportunities Fund | 0.25% | 0.25% | 0.25% |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0.25 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | 0.25 | 0.25 | 0.25 |
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:
| Class A | Class C | Class I | Class R6 |
Macro Opportunities Fund | 1.20% | 1.70% | 0.95% | 0.70% |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | 1.85 | 2.35 | 1.60 | 1.35 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | 0.95 | 1.45 | 0.69 | n/a |
The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended April 30, 2022 and the contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least February 28, 2023.
April 30, 2022 | J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | 53 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF April 30, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
For the six months ended April 30, 2022, 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 Waivers | |
| Investment Advisory Fees | Administration Fees | Service Fees | Total | Contractual Reimbursements |
Macro Opportunities Fund | $56 | $ 7 | $—(a) | $ 63 | $95 |

|
(a) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
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 six months ended April 30, 2022 were as follows:
Macro Opportunities Fund | $ 1 |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | 119 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | 11 |
Effective January 1, 2022, JPMIM voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Funds for the Trustee Fees paid to one of the interested Trustees. For the period January 1, 2022 through April 30, 2022 the amount of these waivers were as follows:
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | 1 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | 1 |
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.
During the six months ended April 30, 2022, Research Market Neutral 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 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
During the six months ended April 30, 2022, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

5. Federal Income Tax Matters
For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at April 30, 2022 were as follows:
| Aggregate Cost | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
Macro Opportunities Fund | $ 14,012 | $ 1,431 | $ 815 | $ 616 |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund * | 492,004 | 18,252 | 15,539 | 2,713 |
Research Market Neutral Fund * | 27,353 | 23,556 | 7,500 | 16,056 |

| Capital Loss Utilized |
| Short-Term | Long-Term |
Macro Opportunities Fund | $ — | $274 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | 2,164 | — |
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 six months ended April 30, 2022.
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 31, 2022.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended April 30, 2022.
April 30, 2022 | J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | 55 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF April 30, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
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 $25,000,000 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 $25,000,000 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%, which was decreased from 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below (the “Applicable Margin”), plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 10, 2021, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a reduction of the Applicable Margin charged for borrowing under the Credit Facility from 1.25% to 1.00%.
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended April 30, 2022.
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 April 30, 2022, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or 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 | % of the Fund | Number of Individual Shareholder and/or Non-Affiliated Omnibus Accounts | % of the Fund |
Macro Opportunities Fund | 1 | 85.4% | — | —% |
Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund | — | — | 4 | 70.9 |
Research Market Neutral Fund | — | — | 3 | 47.1 |
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance and liquidity.
Macro Opportunities 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 April 30, 2022, a significant portion of the investments of Macro Opportunities Fund 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.
As of April 30, 2022, the Fund had non-U.S. country allocations representing greater than 10% of total investments (excluding investment of cash collateral from securities loaned) as follows:
| Macro Opportunities Fund |
Germany | 14.2% |
Japan | 16.6 |
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
56 | J.P. Morgan Specialty Funds | April 30, 2022 |
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 are also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Funds.
Since Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund's shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities.
As of April 30, 2022, Opportunistic Equity Long/Short Fund and Research Market Neutral Fund pledged substantially all of their assets to Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. for securities sold short. For the Funds, deposits at broker for securities sold short, as noted on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, are held at Citigroup Global Markets, Inc.
LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA's consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or 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 prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a 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 a Fund's investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a 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 a Fund and its investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain disruptions and increased government spending may continue to 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 the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
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 ETFs) 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, November 1, 2021, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, April 30, 2022.
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 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)
Each of the Funds covered in this report have 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. 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 8, 2022, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (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. During the Program Reporting Period, the Program was amended, pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission, to permit the Funds to use liquidity definitions and classification methodologies that differ from the requirements under the Liquidity Rule in some respects. The
Report discussed the implementation of these changes. No other material changes were made 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.
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.
