Form N-CSR is to be used by management investment companies to file reports with the Commission not later than 10 days after the transmission to stockholders of any report that is required to be transmitted to stockholders under Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30e-1). The Commission may use the information provided on Form N-CSR in its regulatory, disclosure review, inspection, and policymaking roles.
A registrant is required to disclose the information specified by Form N-CSR, and the Commission will make this information public. A registrant is not required to respond to the collection of information contained in Form N-CSR unless the Form displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) control number. Please direct comments concerning the accuracy of the information collection burden estimate and any suggestions for reducing the burden to Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Registrant is filing this amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Form N-CSR for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2021 (Accession Number 0001193125-21-069280) (the “Report”). The purpose of this Amendment is to supplement and replace the total return numbers shown in the “Fund Commentary” section for each of the Six Circles Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles Tax Aware Ultra Short Duration Fund, Six Circles U.S. Unconstrained Equity Fund, Six Circles International Unconstrained Equity Fund, Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio U.S. Unconstrained Fund, and the Six Circles Managed Equity Portfolio International Unconstrained Fund, since the total return numbers included cumulative return numbers instead of average annual total return numbers, and therefore were inadvertently overstated.
Except as otherwise noted above, the Report was accurate, timely distributed to shareholders and contained all information required to be included in such reports by the Registrant’s registration statement form under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, pursuant to Rule 30e-1(a) thereunder.
This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Report. Except for the portion of the Fund Commentary for each Fund noted above, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Report, or modify or update the Report in any way.
