Dear Shareholders,
Equity markets largely rewarded investors with strong returns amid a global economic rebound in 2021 that withstood the emergence and spread of Covid variants, strained supply chains and accelerating inflation. Despite uneven progress against the pandemic, continued monetary and fiscal support helped bolster corporate profits and consumer spending throughout the twelve months ended October 21, 2021.

“Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals.” — Andrea L. Lisher |
While leading central banks maintain accommodative policies throughout the period, select emerging market nations – particularly Brazil — raised interest rates and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) laid out a potential timetable for winding down its asset purchasing program and raising interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic. While the Fed initially insisted that price inflation fueled by the reopening of the global economy would likely be temporary, by the end of the period Fed officials conceded that inflation was stronger and more persistent than expected.
By the end of the period – and in subsequent weeks – financial market volatility increased amid investor uncertainty about the ongoing pandemic and concerns about the potential for the Fed to move more quickly to raise interest rates in the face of accelerating inflation. However, economic data point toward a continued rebound in the global economy into 2022.
Regardless of the macro-economic backdrop, J.P. Morgan Asset Management will continue to provide investors with innovative solutions and risk management strategies to seek to help investors build durable portfolios and meet their investment goals. We seek to maintain our focus on the needs of our clients and shareholders with 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.

TWELVE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
Globally, equity markets outperformed fixed income markets by a wide margin amid a global economic rebound from the initial economic shock of the pandemic. While the development and distribution of multiple vaccines unleashed a sharp increase in economic activity in the first half of the period, uneven success against the pandemic, supply chain constraints and inflationary pressure weighed on growth in the latter part of the period. Overall, U.S. equity outperformed both developed market and emerging market equities.
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2021, the S&P 500 returned 42.91%; the MSCI EAFE Index returned 34.18% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 16.96%. Within fixed income, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned -0.48%, the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Index returned 10.53% and the Bloomberg Emerging Markets Index returned 3.01% for the period.
At the start of the period, global equity prices began to rebound amid development of the first vaccines against COVID-19 and its leading variants. The rally in equity prices was largely led by investor demand for U.S. large cap stocks, particularly in the technology sector. Notably, emerging markets equity surged ahead of developed markets in December as China, Taiwan and other emerging market nations appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.
While the global rally in equity markets appeared to take a pause in January 2021, equity prices surged higher from February through June 2021. In the U.S., the successful if uneven distribution of vaccines combined with a $1.9 trillion U.S. fiscal relief and recovery package — and the prospect of additional federal government spending — helped push leading equity indexes higher in the first half of 2021. Corporate earnings and cash flows reached record highs in the first quarter of 2021. Robust growth in consumer spending, business investments and manufacturing data added further fuel to the rally in U.S. equity markets.
In May, historically high valuations for U.S. equity fueled investor demand for higher returns elsewhere in both developed and emerging markets. However, the uneven distribution of vaccines, continued spread of COVID-19 and its variants, and disparities in the re-openings of national economies weighed on equity markets in June.
In the following months global economic growth was increasingly hindered by uneven progress against the pandemic, supply chain bottlenecks and rising prices for both commodities and finished goods. Energy prices rose sharply amid a rebound in demand, which helped petroleum exporting nations but weighed on the economies of net importers. Extended inflationary pressures led to modest divergence in central bank policies at the end of the period. Leading central banks maintained their ultra-low interest rate policies, while monetary authorities in select nations, including Brazil, Norway and New Zealand, raised rates to head off rising prices.
Global equity prices largely continued their upward trajectory in the final months of the period, with the exception of a modest retreat in September 2021. While developed markets equity and emerging markets equity generally provided positive returns, equity markets slumped in select nations facing political unrest and/or rapidly rising inflationary pressures. Notably, equity prices in China were weighed down by real estate company China Evergrande’s struggles to meet debt payments as investors worried about the potential impact on financial markets. Additionally, shares of large information technology companies in China were hurt by investor uncertainty over increased domestic regulatory scrutiny.

REPORTING PERIOD RETURN: | ||||
Fund (Class L Shares)* | 11.63% | |||
MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) | 16.96% | |||
Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands) | $13,835,784 |
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 of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.
The Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and its underweight position and security selection in the materials sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the health care and communication services sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
By country, the Fund’s underweight position in Russia and its security selection in Brazil were leading detractors from relative performance. The Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Belarus and Singapore, which solely consisted of EPAM Systems Inc. and Sea Ltd., respectively, were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc., KE Holdings Inc. and Magazine Luiza SA. Shares of New Oriental Education & Technology Group, a Chinese provider of educational services, fell amid efforts by Chinese government regulators to tighten controls on private education providers. Shares of KE Holdings, a Chinese online platform provider for new and existing home sales, fell as China Evergrande Group’s struggles to meet debt payments weighed on China’s real estate sector. Shares of Magazine Luiza, a Brazilian consumer goods retailer, fell amid the con-
tinued spread of COVID-19 in Brazil and the Brazilian central bank’s decision to sharply raise interest rates.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Sea Ltd. and EPAM Systems Inc., and its overweight position in Wuxi Biologics Inc. Shares of Sea, a Singapore internet and mobile platform provider, rose as the company continued to increase its market share during the period. Shares of EPAM Systems, a global provider of software development and digital platform services that largely operates from Belarus, rose amid several consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings during the period. Shares of Wuxi Biologics (Cayman), a Chinese developer of biological testing and drug research, rose amid increased demand for its products and services driven by the pandemic.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers employed an active strategy in which portfolio construction was focused on the highest-conviction ideas found at the security level. The Fund’s portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to determine the Fund’s security weightings, researching companies in an attempt to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth.
As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest sector overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary 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 China and India and its largest relative underweight allocations were in Taiwan and South Korea.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE (10/31/11 TO 10/31/21)
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 of foreign withholding taxes) from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. 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 of foreign withholding taxes) 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 dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of emerging markets. 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.

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 outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.
By sector, the Fund’s security selections in the health care and financials sectors were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selections in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors were leading detractors from relative performance.
By country, the Fund’s security selections China and South Korea were leading contributors to relative performance, while the Fund’s security selections in India and Poland were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in TAL Education Group and its overweight positions in Yunnan Energy New Material Co. and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Shares of TAL Education Group, a Chinese provider of after-school tutoring services, fell amid efforts by Chinese government regulators to tighten controls on private education providers. Shares of Yunnan Energy New Material, a Chinese maker of electric vehicle battery materials, rose amid growth in domestic demand and investor expectations of accelerating U.S. adoption of electric vehicle technology due to proposed U.S. government incentives. Shares of Contemporary Amperex Technology, a Chinese batteries and energy storage systems maker, rose after the company reported its earnings more than doubled in the third quarter of 2021 amid surging sales.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in New Oriental Education & Technology Group Inc. and Britannia Industries Ltd., and its underweight position in ICICI Bank Ltd. Shares of New Oriental Education & Technology Group, a Chinese provider of educational services, fell amid efforts by Chinese government regulators to tighten controls on private education providers. Shares of Britannia Industries, an Indian food manufacturer and distributor, fell amid disruptions in global supply chains. Shares of ICICI Bank, an Indian banking and financial services company, rose following several quarter of earnings growth during the period.
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 industrials and materials sectors. By country, the Fund’s largest overweight allocations relative to the Benchmark during the period were in Mexico and South Africa and its largest relative underweight allocations were in Taiwan and Malaysia.

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, outperformed the MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.
Relative to the Benchmark, the Fund’s security selections and its overweight positions in both the semiconductors & semiconductor equipment and banks sectors were leading contributors to performance. The Fund’s security selection in the consumer durables & apparel sector and its overweight position in the retailing sector were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in ASM International NV, its out-of-Benchmark position in Bank of Ireland Group PLC and its underweight position in Unilever PLC. Shares of ASM International, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry. Shares of Bank of Ireland Group rose amid
investor expectation that the financials sector in general would benefit from a rebound in economic activity in 2021. Shares of Unilever, a U.K. consumer products company that was not held in the Fund, fell amid rising global costs for raw materials.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in ASML Holdings NV and Royal Dutch Shell PLC and its out-of-Benchmark position in Stillfront Group AB. Shares of ASML Holdings, a Dutch provider of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry. Shares of Royal Dutch Shell, a U.K. integrated oil and gas producer not held by the Fund, rose amid an increase in global energy prices. Shares of Stillfront Group, a Swedish digital game publisher, fell amid investor expectations for falling demand for video games as countries lifted pandemic social restrictions.
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 PERFORMANCE (10/31/11 TO 10/31/21)
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 of foreign withholding taxes) from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. 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 of foreign withholding taxes) 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 dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI Europe Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted
market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of the developed markets in Europe. 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 foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.
The Fund’s security selections in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s security selections in the information technology and health care sectors were leading contributors to relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark allocation to emerging markets and its overweight position in the U.K. were leading detractors from relative performance, while its security selection and underweight position in Japan and its security selection in the Pacific, excluding Japan, were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its out-of-Benchmark position in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. and its underweight position in Roche Holding AG. Shares of both Alibaba Group
Holding, a Chinese electronic commerce conglomerate, and Tencent Holdings, a Chinese online platform provider, fell amid tighter regulatory scrutiny of large technology companies in China as well as broader investor concerns about China Evergrande Group’s struggles to meet debt payments. Shares of Roche Holding, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for 2021.
Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ASML Holding NV, Capgemini SE and ING Groep NV.
Shares of ASML Holding, a Dutch maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor sector. Shares of Capgemini, a French provider of technology consulting and outsourcing services, rose amid growth in revenue and earnings during the period. Shares of ING Groep, a Dutch banking and financial services company, rose amid better-than-expected results 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.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan International Focus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index, Ex-U.S. (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.
The Fund’s security selection in the financials sector and its underweight position in the energy sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care and information technology sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s underweight position in Canada and its security selection in emerging markets were leading detractors from relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position in Japan and its security selection in the Pacific Rim were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Kone Oyj. Shares of both Alibaba Group Holding, a Chinese electronic commerce conglomerate, and Tencent Holdings, a Chinese online platform
provider, fell amid tighter regulatory scrutiny of large technology companies in China as well as broader investor concerns about China Evergrande Group’s struggles to meet debt payments. Shares of Kone, a Finnish manufacturer of elevators, escalators and automatic doors, fell after the company warned of rising costs and shortages of equipment parts.
Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included its overweight positions in ASML Holding NV, Sea Ltd. and KBC Group NV. Shares of ASML Holdings, a Dutch provider of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry. Shares of Sea, a Singapore internet and mobile platform provider, rose as the company continued to increase its market share during the period. Shares of KBC Group, a Belgian banking and insurance provider, rose amid better-than-expected earnings during the period.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
By harnessing their team’s global sector specialists, the Fund’s portfolio managers sought to build a high-conviction, benchmark-agnostic portfolio of growth, value and unique companies, whose future prospects, the portfolio managers believed, were under-appreciated by the market and thus possessed the potential to deliver higher-than-expected earnings that could have a positive effect on their share prices.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan International Hedged Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) and outperformed the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021. The Fund’s options hedge allowed the Fund to generally perform as designed during the reporting period with about 57% of the Benchmark’s volatility.
The Fund’s security selection in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and health care sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
By country, the Fund’s security selection in Switzerland and Italy was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in Japan and the Netherlands was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Orsted A/S, Kao Corp. and Iberdrola SA. Shares of Orsted, a Danish renewable energy generator, fell after reporting weaker-than-expected earnings and revenue growth for the first half of the 2021. Shares of Kao, a Japanese consumer products and chemicals manufacturer, fell amid a decline in demand for cosmetics and household products in Japan due to the pandemic. Shares of Iberdrola, an electric utility based in Spain, fell after the Spanish government responded to surging domestic electricity prices by limiting profits of energy utilities.
Leading individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in ASML Holdings NV, Capgemini SE and Novo Nordisk A/S. Shares of ASML Holdings, a Dutch provider of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, rose amid increased capital spending in the semiconductor industry. Shares of Capgemini, a French provider of technology consulting and outsourcing services, rose amid growth in revenue and earnings during the period. Shares of Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharmaceuticals company, rose after the company reported earnings growth for the first quarter of 2021 and raised its 2021 forecast for earnings and revenue.
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.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (3/15/19 TO 10/31/21)
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 of foreign withholding taxes) and the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index from March 15, 2019 to October 31, 2021. 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 of foreign withholding taxes) 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 dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The performance of the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. 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 of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. 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 recommendation to make (or refrain from making) any kind of investment decision and may not be relied on as such.

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 outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.
The Fund’s security selection in the semiconductors & hardware sector and in the banks sector was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the basic industries and utilities sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s security selection in Japan and security selection and overweight position in Europe, excluding the U.K., were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the U.K. and in the Pacific, excluding Japan, were the smallest contributors 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.

Net Assets as of 10/31/2021 (In Thousands) | $396,699 |
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 outperformed the MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended October 31, 2021.
The Fund’s underweight positions in the utilities and consumer staples sectors were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s overweight position in the energy sector and its security selection in the technology-software sector were leading detractors from relative performance.
By region, the Fund’s security selection in Europe and the U.K. was a leading contributor to relative performance, while the Fund’s security selection in the Pacific, excluding Japan, was the leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in SoftBank Group Corp., Unilever PLC and Sanofi SA. 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. Shares of Unilever, a U.K. consumer products company note held in the Fund, fell amid the increasing costs of key commodities. Shares of Sanofi, a French pharmaceuticals maker not held in the Fund, underperformed amid efforts by the Biden administration to curb drug prices.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac Banking Corp. Shares of Royal Dutch Shell, an integrated petroleum and natural gas provider, rose amid a sharp increase in global energy prices. Shares of Commonwealth Bank Australia, which were not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported strong earnings growth for fiscal 2021. Shares of Westpac Banking, an Australian bank and financial services company, rose amid earnings growth during the period.
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 banks and insurance sectors, while the largest underweight positions were in the utilities and consumer staples sector.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE (10/31/11 TO 10/31/21)
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 of foreign withholding taxes) from October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2021. 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 of foreign withholding taxes) 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 dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the maximum rate to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The MSCI EAFE Value Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted
index that is designed to measure the performance of value-oriented stocks in the world’s equity markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. 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 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.

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the NAVs of the Funds.
As of October 31, 2021, 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

(Dollar values in thousands)
interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.
The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of October 31, 2021.

** | Subsequent to October 31, 2021, additional collateral was received. |
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.12% to 0.06%. For the year ended October 31, 2021, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds’ investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | $ | 14 | ||

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).
International Hedged Equity Fund did not lend out any securities during the year ended October 31, 2021.

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
102 | J.P. MORGAN INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS | OCTOBER 31, 2021 |
Table of Contents
recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.
F. Derivatives — The Funds, except for Emerging Markets Equity Fund, 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 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.
Notes F(1) — F(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Funds.
(1). Options — International Hedged Equity Fund purchased and 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 its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller.
Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Fund for options purchased are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Options purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Fund will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.
Options Written — Premiums received by the Fund for options written are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation 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 Fund records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Fund is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.
Written uncovered call options subject the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.
The Fund is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2021 (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
The Fund’s exchange-traded option contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
(2). Futures Contracts — Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund, Europe Dynamic Fund, International Equity 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’ 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—International Focus Fund is exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of its portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of an 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’ derivatives contracts held at October 31, 2021 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 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 year ended October 31, 2021 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 October 31, 2021, 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.
106 | J.P. MORGAN INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS | OCTOBER 31, 2021 |
Table of Contents
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.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:
Paid-in-Capital | Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | Accumulated net realized gains (losses) | ||||||||||
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | $ | — | $ | 4,467 | $ | (4,467 | ) | |||||
Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund | — | 5,530 | (5,530 | ) | ||||||||
Europe Dynamic Fund | — | 2,952 | (2,952 | ) | ||||||||
International Equity Fund | — | 2,356 | (2,356 | ) | ||||||||
International Focus Fund | — | 550 | (550 | ) | ||||||||
International Hedged Equity Fund | — | 278 | (278 | ) | ||||||||
International Research Enhanced Equity Fund | — | 19,970 | (19,970 | ) | ||||||||
International Value Fund | — | 110 | (110 | ) |
The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to investments in passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”), foreign currency gains or losses and foreign taxes.
M. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Funds’ financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.
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.

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.

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.

For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at October 31, 2021 were as follows:
Aggregate Cost | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |||||||||||||
Emerging Markets Equity Fund | $ | 9,661,959 | $ | 5,274,220 | $ | 804,925 | $ | 4,469,295 | ||||||||

International Value Fund | 349,652 | 63,256 | 10,678 | 52,578 |
The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to investments in PFICs, investments in futures contracts and wash sale loss deferrals.

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 at October 31, 2021. Average borrowings from the Facility during the year ended October 31, 2021 were as follows:
Average Borrowings | Average Interest Rate Paid | Number of Days Outstanding | Interest Paid | |||||||||||||

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 year ended October 31, 2021.
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 1.25%, which has decreased to 1.00% 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%.

7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
As of October 31, 2021, the following Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund’s outstanding shares as follows:

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance and liquidity.
The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of foreign countries or regions, which may vary throughout the period. Such concentrations may subject each of these Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. securities.

As of October 31, 2021, 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.
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. 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 or unavailability, which may affect the value or 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 closing out positions and entering into new trades. 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, a novel coronavirus disease, 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 exchange trading suspensions and closures 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. The Funds’ operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations 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 full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

TRUSTEES
(Unaudited) (continued)
(1) | The Trustees serve for an indefinite term, subject to the Trusts’ current retirement policy, which is age 78 for all Trustees. |
(2) | A Fund Complex means two or more registered investment companies that hold themselves out to investors as related companies for purposes of investment and investor services or have a common investment adviser or have an investment adviser that is an affiliated person of the investment adviser of any of the other registered investment companies.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, May 1, 2021, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, October 31, 2021.
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. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2021 at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2021.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of their peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (“independent consultant”). In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessment as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Trusts and independent legal counsel and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their
consideration of the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreements in executive sessions with independent legal counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.
After considering and weighing the factors and information they had received, the Trustees found that the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of each Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, personnel changes, if any, and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to each Fund by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund and the infrastructure supporting the team, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (continued)
The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to each Fund by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees
also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting, and other related services.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”) which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that other Funds which had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Funds of the use of an affiliated distributor and custodian, including the ability to rely on existing infrastructure supporting distribution, custodial and transfer agent services and the ability to negotiate competitive fees for the Funds. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Funds, including the Adviser’s and/or JPMDS’s investments in trading systems, technology (including improvements to the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website, and cybersecurity improvements), retention of key talent, and regulatory support enhancements. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund, including any Fee Caps the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of each Fund at competitive levels,

was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that, for Funds with Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and, for Funds that achieved scale and no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, the relevant Fund’s shareholders benefited from lower average expenses resulting from increased assets. The Trustees also concluded that all Funds benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Funds.
Independent Written Evaluation of the Funds’ Senior Officer
The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Senior Officer for the International Equity Fund and International Research Enhanced Equity Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, ETFs and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe
(the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in each Fund’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to certain representative classes to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed each Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Funds at regular Board meetings by the Adviser and the Trustees’ independent consultant and also considered the special analysis prepared for certain Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The special analysis includes a multi-factor quantitative scoring system for summarizing a Fund’s historical investment performance. The approach relies on multiple metrics, incorporates several time periods, adjusts for risk and considers how a fund’s customized peer group (as selected by the independent consultant) has performed. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s performance for Class A, Class I and Class R6 shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2020. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Research Enhanced Equity Fund’s performance for Class I shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2020. The Trustees noted that performance for Class R6 shares was in the fourth quintile based upon the Peer Group, and in the third quintile based upon the Universe, for the one-year period ended December 31, 2020. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.

The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the fifth quintile based upon the Universe, for the one-year period

Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The
126 | J.P. MORGAN INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDS | OCTOBER 31, 2021 |
Table of Contents
Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the first and second quintiles based upon the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class I shares were both in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe.

(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
Table of Contents
One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.
(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
2021 – 0.0%

(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
Not applicable - Less than 50%.
(g) Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant.
The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were:
2020 - $30.0 million
2019 - $30.2 million
(h) Disclose whether the registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the independent public registered accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by the independent public registered accounting firm to the Registrant or to Service Affiliates that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.
