Letter to Shareholders
February 13, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Financial markets have rebounded somewhat as the U.S. and other developed market economies have shown notable resilience in the face of higher inflation, rising interest rates and the ongoing war in Ukraine. While the factors that weighed on equity and bond markets in 2022 largely remain, there are signals that inflationary pressures may have peaked and the long-term economic outlook appears positive.
|
“Investors may face continued economic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead. However, some of the acute risks encountered in 2022 appear to have receded and last year’s reset in asset prices may provide attractive investment opportunities.” — Brian S. Shlissel
|
While U.S. economic growth was surprisingly strong in the closing months of 2022, with broad gains in employment and consumer spending in the final months of the year, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s efforts to counter inflationary pressure through sharply higher interest rates could slow economic momentum in the months ahead.
Corporate earnings have been squeezed by higher costs for materials and labor, while the strong U.S. dollar has hindered export revenues. However, the impact of higher prices and interest rates has not landed on all sectors of the economy evenly. Energy sector profits have soared over the past year, while earnings in housing and construction sectors have declined.
Across Europe, the war in Ukraine has driven up prices for energy, food and a range of other goods and has fueled negative consumer sentiment. The prolonged nature of the conflict and its potential to spread remain key concerns among policymakers, diplomats, military planners, economists and investors. It is worth noting that Europe’s largest industrialized nations in concert with the European Union have moved swiftly to secure alternatives to Russian sources of natural gas and petroleum, which has eased an energy crisis that began last year.
Investors may face continued economic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead. However, some of the acute risks encountered in 2022 appear to have receded and last year’s reset in asset prices may provide attractive investment opportunities. A long-term view and a properly diversified portfolio, in our opinion, remain key elements to a successful investment approach.
Our broad array of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with ability to build durable portfolios that can help them meet their financial goals.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Shlissel

MARKET OVERVIEW
SIX MONTHS ENDED December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Overall, leading U.S. equity indexes ended the period with positive returns, rebounding from a broad sell-off in August and September. Investors were largely focused on the pace and size of interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), while the highest inflation rate in 40 years, the war in Ukraine and pandemic-related disruptions in China weighed on global financial markets.
During the second half of 2022, the Fed raised interest rates in July, September, November and December, following three increases in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, corporate earnings for the second and third quarters of 2022, generally were better than expected given a cooling economy and slower consumer spending. The U.S. unemployment rate remained historically low, hovering between 3.5% and 3.7% for the six-month period.
Within U.S. equity markets, the energy sector outperformed amid constrained supply from Russia and Europe’s efforts to find alternative sources of petroleum and natural gas. The utilities sector also performed well as investors sought attractive dividend yields and companies less exposed to economic cycles. The real estate sector largely underperformed amid rising interest rates, while changing consumer habits and investor concerns over increased competition weighed on the communication services sector.
Overall, mid cap growth stocks generated the highest U.S. equity returns, while large cap and mid cap value stocks outperformed small cap stocks and large cap growth stocks. For the six month period, the Russell 2000 Index returned 3.91%, the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 4.38% and the Russell 2000 Value Index returned 3.42%.

Fund (Class A Shares, without a sales charge) * | |
| |
Net Assets as of 12/31/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Small Cap Blend Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital growth over the long term.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and financials sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight position in the energy sector and its security selection in the information technology sector were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Applied Industrial Technologies Inc. and Outset Medical Inc. and its out-of-Benchmark position in Valmont Industries Inc. Shares of Applied Industrial Technologies, a distributor of industrial machinery and systems, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Outset Medical, a health care equipment manufacturer, rose late in the period after the company reported better-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and issued a stronger-than-expected earnings forecast. Shares of Valmont Industries, an engineered materials manufacturer, rose amid consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue during the period.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions Sentinelone Inc. and Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. and its overweight position in Cano Health Inc. Shares of Sentinelone, a cybersecurity provider, fell in late December 2022 amid a broad sell-off in cybersecurity stocks due to investor concerns about slower near-term growth. Shares of Grocery Outlet Holdings, a retail chain, fell after the company reported its longtime chief executive was stepping down. Shares of Cano Health, an operator of medical centers and pharmacies, fell after news reports that CVS Pharmacy Inc. declined to make an acquisition offer for the company.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching individual companies in an effort
to construct a portfolio of companies that are attractively valued and stocks that have a history of growth. The Fund’s portfolio managers preferred to invest in high quality companies with durable franchises that, in their view, possessed the ability to generate consistent earnings. The Fund is positioned to invest in small cap companies across both
growth and value styles.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (12/31/12 TO 12/31/22)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 have different expenses than Class I Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Small Cap Blend Fund and the Russell 2000 Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 2000 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 2000 smallest stocks (on the basis of capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Effective June 1, 2018, the Fund’s investment strategies changed. Although past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future, in view of these changes, the Fund’s performance record prior to this date might be less relevant for investors considering whether to purchase shares of the Fund.
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. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and information technology sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care sector and its underweight position in the energy sector, where it had no holdings, were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Toro Co., WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. and its overweight position in Altra Industrial Motion Corp. Shares of Toro, a manufacturer of tractors, mowers and related landscaping equipment, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and increased its quarterly dividend. Shares of WillScot Mini Mobile Holdings, a storage and moving company, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Altra Industrial Motion, an industrial machinery manufacturer, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Regal Rexnord Corp. for about $5 billion.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Syneos Health Inc., Definitive Healthcare Corp. and Signature Bank. Shares of Syneos Health, a provider of development services to the pharmaceuticals industry, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2022 and lowered its full year 2022 earnings forecast. Shares of Definitive Healthcare, a provider of information and research to the health care sector, fell amid investor concerns over near-term sales as the U.S. economy slowed during the period. Shares of Signature Bank, a regional bank, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and amid investor concerns about the company’s exposure to cryptocurrencies.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals and proprietary analysis. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked for companies that, in their view, had leading competitive advantages, predictable and durable business models, and sustainable free cash flow generation with
management teams committed to increasing intrinsic value.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Small Cap Sustainable Leaders Fund(the “Fund”) seeks capital growth over the long term.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class R5 Shares outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and health care sectors were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the energy and materials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. and Deckers Outdoor Corp., and its overweight position in Maxar Technologies Ltd. Shares of Sarepta Therapeutics, a biopharmaceuticals developer, rose after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted priority review for the company’s treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Shares of Deckers Outdoor, a footwear and apparel maker, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Maxar Technologies, a satellite imaging and aerospace company, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Advent International Corp. for about $4 billion.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Unifi Inc., Fate Therapeutics Inc. and Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc. Shares of Unifi, a textiles manufacturer, fell after the company reported a loss and a decline in revenue for its fiscal first quarter. Shares of Fate Therapeutics, a developer of immuno-therapies, fell after the company reported disappointing pre-clinical data on its proposed treatment for leukemia. Shares of Hannon Armstrong Sustainable, a mortgage real estate investment trust focused on carbon emissions reduction, fell amid investor concerns about the company’s financial accounting.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
In accordance with its investment process, the Fund’s portfolio managers take limited sector bets and construct the Fund so
that stock selection is typically the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio managers employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, using quantitative screening and proprietary analysis to construct a portfolio of companies that they believe are attractively valued and possess strong momentum. During the reporting period, the Fund was managed and positioned in
accordance with this investment process.

Returns for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4 and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns of Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3 and Class R4 Shares would have been lower than those shown because these classes have higher expenses than Class R5 Shares. The actual returns of the Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class R5 Shares of the JPMorgan Small Cap Sustainable Leaders Fund and the Russell 2000 Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 2000
Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 2000 smallest stocks (on the basis of capitalization) in the Russell 3000 Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class R5 Shares have no minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Net Assets as of 12/31/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth primarily by investing in equity securities of small-capitalization companies.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and health care sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection energy and materials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Nuvalent Inc. and Academy Sports & Outdoors Inc., and its out-of-Benchmark position in Prothena Corp. Shares of Nuvalent, a pharmaceuticals developer, rose after the company’s lung cancer treatment performed well in early clinical trials. Shares of Academy Sport & Outdoors, a sporting goods and recreational products retailer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2022 and issued a better-than-expected profit forecast. Shares of Prothena, a pharmaceuticals developer, rose after the company’s Alzheimer’s disease treatment performed well in late-stage clinical trials.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in Avaya Holdings Corp. and Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. and its underweight position in Maxar Technologies Ltd. Shares of Avaya Holdings, a provider of digital communications equipment, fell amid news reports that the company was nearing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Shares of Herbalife, a nutritional supplements manufacturer, fell late in the period after the company unveiled plans to offer $250 million of convertible notes. Shares of Maxar Technologies, a satellite imaging and aerospace company not held in the Fund, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Advent International Corp. for about $4 billion.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
In accordance with its investment process, the Fund’s portfolio managers take limited sector bets and construct the Fund so that stock selection is typically the primary driver of the Fund’s
relative performance versus the Benchmark. The Fund’s portfolio managers use a quantitative ranking methodology to identify stocks in each sector that, in their view, trade at attractive levels. Through bottom-up fundamental research, they seek companies that they believe have attractive valuations, exhibit high earnings quality and have management teams that make effective capital deployment decisions. During the reporting period, the Fund was managed and positioned in
accordance with this investment process.

The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Small Cap Value Fund and the Russell 2000 Value Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 2000 Value Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of
all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

Net Assets as of 12/31/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan SMID Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with intermediate capitalizations.
INVESTMENT PROCESS
The Fund employs a fundamental bottom-up investment process to invest in a diversified portfolio of small- to mid-cap stocks -- similar to those in the Russell 2500 Index (the “Benchmark”) – and seeks to invest in companies with leading competitive advantages, predictable and durable business models and sustainable free cash flows.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Benchmark for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the health care and financials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the consumer staples and real estate sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in Catalent Inc. and Generac Holdings Inc., and its overweight position in Syneos Health Inc. Shares of Catalent, a pharmaceuticals maker, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and lowered its forecast for the full year. Shares of Generac Holdings, a manufacturer of generators, electrical components and equipment, fell after the company lowered its earnings forecast for 2022. Shares of Syneos Health, a provider of development services to the pharmaceuticals industry, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the third quarter of 2022 and lowered its full year 2022 earnings forecast.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Toro Corp. and WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. and its out-of-Benchmark position in Burlington Stores Inc. Shares of Toro, a manufacturer of tractors, mowers and related landscaping equipment, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and increased its quarterly dividend. Shares of WillScot Mini Mobile Holdings, a
storage and moving company, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue. Shares of Burlington Stores, an apparel retail chain, rose after the company reported weak but better-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2022.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers employ a fundamental bottom-up investment process that seeks to invest in companies that they believe are undervalued, have leading competitive positions and predictable and durable business models. As a result of this process, the Fund’s largest allocations during the period were to the industrials and financials sectors, while the Fund had no allocations to the
energy and communications services sectors.

Effective November 1, 2020, the Fund changed its investment strategies. The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the Fund were managed using the current strategies. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan U.S. Small Company Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of small company stocks.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class L Shares outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the energy and consumer staples sectors were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Catalyst Pharmaceuticals Inc., Madrigal Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Inspire Medical Systems Inc. Shares of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology developer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and the stock was added to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. Shares of Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology developer, rose after the company’s treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis showed positive results in late-stage clinical trials. Shares of Inspire Medical Systems, a medical technology provider, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Perficient Inc., Fate Therapeutics Inc. and NuVasive Inc. Shares of Perficient, a technology consulting and services provider, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue and reported earnings that were in line with analysts’ expectations for the second quarter of 2022. Shares of Fate Therapeutics, a developer of immune therapies, fell after the company reported disappointing pre-clinical data on its proposed treatment for leukemia. Shares of NuVasive, a medical technology and surgical instruments developer, fell amid investor disappointment with the company’s financial results for the third quarter of 2022.

1. Organization
JPMorgan Trust I (“JPM I") and JPMorgan Trust II (“JPM II") (collectively, the “Trusts”) were formed on November 12, 2004, as Delaware statutory trusts, pursuant to Declarations of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies.

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

B. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.
The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the
| J.P. Morgan Small Cap Funds | |
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 December 31, 2022.

| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|
| Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower. |
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.13% to 0.06%. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds' investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
| |
| |
| |
Small Cap Sustainable Leaders Fund | |
| |
| |
| |
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
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).
C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. The Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

D. Futures Contracts — Small Cap Value Fund and U.S. Small Company 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).
The table below discloses the volume of the Funds' futures contracts activity during the six months ended December 31, 2022:
| | |
| | |
Average Notional Balance Long | | |
Ending Notional Balance Long | | |
| J.P. Morgan Small Cap Funds | |
E. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis.
Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Dividend income 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.
F. Allocation of Income and Expenses— Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trusts are allocated among the applicable funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2022 are as follows:

AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
G. 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 December 31, 2022, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
H. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually, except for Small Cap Value Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid at least quarterly. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:
| |
| |

The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to each Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund's respective average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.010% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the effective annualized rate was 0.075% of each Fund's average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds' sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.
C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as each Fund's principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares.
The Boards have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A , Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class L, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares of the Funds do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
D. Service Fees — The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, have entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to fund shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee with respect to all share classes, except Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
Small Cap Sustainable Leaders Fund | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
JPMDS has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Funds. Pursuant to such contracts, JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.
JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statements of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund's investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
The Boards designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statements of Operations.
The Trusts adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.
During the six months ended December 31, 2022, Small Cap Blend Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Sustainable Leaders Fund, SMID Cap Equity Fund and U.S. Small Company Fund purchased securities from an underwriting syndicate in which the principal underwriter or members of the syndicate were affiliated with the Adviser.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

6. Borrowings
The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPM II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 30, 2023.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
| J.P. Morgan Small Cap Funds | |
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 9, 2022, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a change in the interest associated with any borrowing to the higher, on the day of the borrowing, of (a) the federal funds effective rate, or (b) the one-month Adjusted SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or affiliated omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund's outstanding shares as follows:
| Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | | Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Non-Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Small Cap Sustainable Leaders Fund | | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
As of December 31, 2022, J.P. Morgan Investor Funds and JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds, which are affiliated fund of funds, each owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows:
| | JPMorgan
SmartRetirement
Funds |
| | |
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds' performance and liquidity.
Because the Funds invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"), the Funds may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults by tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders, and certain REITs have self-liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time.
The Funds invest in companies with relatively small market capitalizations. Investments in companies with relatively small market capitalizations may involve greater risk than is usually associated with stocks of larger companies. These securities may have limited marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic movements in price than securities of companies with larger capitalizations.
LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA's consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the
| J.P. Morgan Small Cap Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of a Fund's investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on a Fund and its investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain disruptions and increased government spending may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2022, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. Effective January 2022, the Board consolidated with the J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust Board and now consists of Trustees from both Boards. The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year and, at each meeting, considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Board also met for the specific purpose of considering the continuation of the investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board held meetings on June 21-22, 2022 and August 9-11, 2022, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered each investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2022.
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 (including certain ETFs, beginning in February 2022) 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 the Funds, including risk and performance return assessments as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees
reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the 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. Among other things, the Trustees considered:
(i)
The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
(ii)
The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each of the Funds, including personnel changes, if any;
(iii)
The investment strategy for each Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams;
(iv)
Information about the structure and distribution strategy for each Fund and how it fits with the Trusts’ other fund offerings;
(v)
The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(vi)
Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Trusts and in the financial industry generally;
(vii)
The overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates;
(viii)
The commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds;
(ix)
Their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity;
(x)
The Adviser’s responsiveness to requests for additional information, questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund; and
(xi)
The Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser and its affiliates have taken to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates from providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser and reviewed with the Board. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor, and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees earned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting and other related services for each Fund, and the profitability of the arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from potential economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that certain other Funds that had achieved scale as asset levels had increased no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain 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 Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, and SMID Cap Equity Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including, to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered investment company involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the applicable registered investment company, typically
bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees receive and consider information about the Funds’ performance throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe comprised of funds 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 quintile 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 the Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Blend Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the first, fourth and second quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the second, fourth and second quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first, third, and third quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the second, fourth, and second quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the first and third quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the second and fourth quintiles of the Universe, for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the

(Unaudited)

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Equity Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, third and second quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the fifth, second, and second quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the fifth, second and first quintiles of both the Peer Group and the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the fifth, fifth and fourth quintiles of both the Peer Group and the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended
December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances. The Trustees requested, however, that the Fund’s Adviser provide additional Fund performance information to be reviewed with the members of the Board’s Equity Committee at each of its regularly scheduled meetings over the course of the next year.
The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Value Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the fourth, third and third quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the third, third and fourth quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.

The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund and noted that Universe and Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it can be difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Blend Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the third quintile of both
the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.
The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Equity Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fourth and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively.

Letter to Shareholders
February 13, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Financial markets have rebounded somewhat as the U.S. and other developed market economies have shown notable resilience in the face of higher inflation, rising interest rates and the ongoing war in Ukraine. While the factors that weighed on equity and bond markets in 2022 largely remain, there are signals that inflationary pressures may have peaked and the long-term economic outlook appears positive.
|
“Investors may face continued economic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead. However, some of the acute risks encountered in 2022 appear to have receded and last year’s reset in asset prices may provide attractive investment opportunities.” — Brian S. Shlissel
|
While U.S. economic growth was surprisingly strong in the closing months of 2022, with broad gains in employment and consumer spending in the final months of the year, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s efforts to counter inflationary pressure through sharply higher interest rates could slow economic momentum in the months ahead.
Corporate earnings have been squeezed by higher costs for materials and labor, while the strong U.S. dollar has hindered export revenues. However, the impact of higher prices and interest rates has not landed on all sectors of the economy evenly. Energy sector profits have soared over the past year, while earnings in housing and construction sectors have declined.
Across Europe, the war in Ukraine has driven up prices for energy, food and a range of other goods and has fueled negative consumer sentiment. The prolonged nature of the conflict and its potential to spread remain key concerns among policymakers, diplomats, military planners, economists and investors. It is worth noting that Europe’s largest industrialized nations in concert with the European Union have moved swiftly to secure alternatives to Russian sources of natural gas and petroleum, which has eased an energy crisis that began last year.
Investors may face continued economic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead. However, some of the acute risks encountered in 2022 appear to have receded and last year’s reset in asset prices may provide attractive investment opportunities. A long-term view and a properly diversified portfolio, in our opinion, remain key elements to a successful investment approach.
Our broad array of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with ability to build durable portfolios that can help them meet their financial goals.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Shlissel

MARKET OVERVIEW
SIX MONTHS ENDED December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Overall, leading U.S. equity indexes ended the period with positive returns, rebounding from a broad sell-off in August and September. Investors were largely focused on the pace and size of interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), while the highest inflation rate in 40 years, the war in Ukraine and pandemic-related disruptions in China weighed on global financial markets.
During the second half of 2022, the Fed raised interest rates in July, September, November and December, following three increases in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, corporate earnings for the second and third quarters of 2022, generally were better than expected given a cooling economy and slower consumer spending. The U.S. unemployment rate remained historically low, hovering between 3.5% and 3.7% for the six-month period.
Within U.S. equity markets, the energy sector outperformed amid constrained supply from Russia and Europe’s efforts to find alternative sources of petroleum and natural gas. The utilities sector also performed well as investors sought attractive dividend yields and companies less exposed to economic cycles. The real estate sector largely underperformed amid rising interest rates, while changing consumer habits and investor concerns over increased competition weighed on the communication services sector.
Overall, mid cap growth stocks generated the highest U.S. equity returns, while large cap and mid cap value stocks outperformed small cap stocks and large cap growth stocks. For the six month period, the Russell Mid Cap Index returned 5.43%, the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index returned 6.20% and the Russell Mid Cap Value Index returned 5.01%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE **
The JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term capital growth.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, underperformed the Russell 3000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection and overweight positions in the health care and industrials sectors were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in Catalent Inc., Zoom Video Communications Inc. and Tesla Inc. Shares of Catalent, a pharmaceuticals maker, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and lowered its forecast for the full year. Shares of Zoom Video Communications, a video conferencing service provider, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the second quarter of 2022 and issued a weaker-than-expected forecast. Shares of Tesla, an electric vehicle manufacturer, fell amid investor concerns about both weaker delivery volumes and Chief Executive Elon Musk’s controversial decisions as majority owner and chief executive of Twitter Inc.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Horizon Therapeutics PLC, Burlington Stores Inc. and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. Shares of Horizon Therapeutics PLC, a pharmaceuticals developer based in Ireland, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Amgen Inc. for about $28 billion. Shares of Burlington Stores, an apparel retail chain, rose after the company reported weak but better-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, a drug development company, rose amid strong product revenue for the second quarter of 2022 and after the company reported positive Phase 3 clinical trial results for its amyloidosis treatment.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, researching individual companies across market capitalizations in an effort to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to invest in high quality companies with durable franchises that, in their view, possessed the ability to
generate strong future earnings growth.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (12/31/12 TO 12/31/22)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R2 and Class R3 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R3 Shares have similar expenses to Class A Shares.
Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R4 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R4 Shares have different expenses to Class I Shares.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 and Class I Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund and the Russell 3000 Growth Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the
Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 3000 Growth Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The Russell 3000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies (largest 3000 U.S. companies) with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. 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. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell Midcap Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the information technology and energy sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health care and industrials sectors was a contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in IAC Inc., Newell Brands Inc. and Catalent Inc.

Shares of Newell Brands, a manufacturer of housewares and specialty products, fell after the company issued weaker-than-expected earnings forecasts. Shares of Catalent, a pharmaceuticals maker, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and lowered its forecast for the full year 2022.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Hubbell Inc., Horizon Therapeutics PLC and Ametek Inc. Shares of Hubbell, a manufacturer of electrical components and equipment, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and amid investor expectations the company will benefit from planned infrastructural upgrades to U.S. electricity grids. Shares of Horizon Therapeutics PLC, a pharmaceuticals developer based in Ireland, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Amgen Inc. for about $28 billion. Shares of Ametek, a manufacturer of electrical components and equipment, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the second and third quarters of 2022 and raised its earnings forecast for the full year 2022.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing a portfolio based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening and proprietary fundamental analysis. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to identify dominant franchises with predictable business models they deemed capable of achieving, in their view, sustained growth, as well as undervalued companies with the potential to
grow their intrinsic value per share.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE **
The JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks growth of capital.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the information technology and financials sectors
was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s
security selection in the industrials and health care sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Catalent Inc. and Zoom Video Communications Inc., and its out-of-Benchmark position in Palo Alto Networks Inc. Shares of Catalent, a pharmaceuticals maker, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and lowered its forecast for the full year. Shares of Zoom Video Communications, a video conferencing service provider, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the second quarter of 2022 and issued a weaker-than-expected forecast. Shares of Palo Alto Networks, a cybersecurity systems provider, fell in late December 2022 amid a broad sell-off in cybersecurity stocks due to investor concerns about slower near-term growth.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Horizon Therapeutics PLC, Toro Co. and Trane Technologies PLC. Shares of Horizon Therapeutics PLC, a pharmaceuticals developer based in Ireland, rose after the company agreed to be acquired by Amgen Inc. for about $28 billion. Shares of Toro, a manufacturer of tractors, mowers and related landscaping equipment, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and increased its quarterly dividend. Shares of Trane Technologies, a provider of heating, ventilation and air conditioning
systems and services based in Ireland, rose after the company
reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and raised its earnings forecast.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term total return from a combination of income and capital gains.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the financials and industrials sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Exxon Mobil Corp. and its overweight positions in Liberty Broadband Corp. and IAC Inc. Shares of Exxon Mobil, an integrated petroleum and natural gas company, rose after reporting strong earnings and revenue growth as global energy prices remained elevated during the period. Shares of Liberty Broadband, a cable and satellite TV provider, fell amid broad weakness in communications sector stocks. Shares of IAC, a media and internet content provider, fell amid declining revenues and consecutive quarters of lower-than-expected earnings.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. and its underweight positions in Meta Platforms Inc. and Intel Corp. Shares of Dick’s Sporting Goods, a recreational products and apparel retail chain, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings, revenue and store sales for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Meta Platforms, parent company of social media platform Facebook, fell after the company issued a lower-than-expected revenue forecast and amid investor concerns about the company’s push into virtual reality entertainment. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell with the broader
semiconductor sub-sector amid lower industry growth forecasts and changes in global technology supply chains.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection and sought to identify durable franchises possessing the ability to generate, in the portfolio managers’
view, significant levels of free cash flow.

The performance of the Russell 3000 Value Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The Russell 3000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies (largest 3000 U.S. companies) with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. 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. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
(Dollar values in thousands)
1. Organization
JPMorgan Trust I (“JPM I") and JPMorgan Trust II (“JPM II") (collectively, the “Trusts”) were formed on November 12, 2004, as Delaware statutory trusts, pursuant to Declarations of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies.
J.P. Morgan Mutual Fund Investment Trust (“JPMMFIT”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on September 23, 1997, as an open-end management investment company.
J.P. Morgan Fleming Mutual Fund Group, Inc. (“JPMFMFG,” and with JPM I, JPM II and JPMMFIT, collectively, the “Trusts”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on August 19, 1997, as an open-end management investment company.
The following are 5 separate funds of the Trust (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") covered by this report:
| | | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 | | |
The investment objective of JPMorgan Growth Advantage Fund (“Growth Advantage Fund”) and JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund (“Mid Cap Equity Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term capital growth.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”) is to seek growth of capital.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”) is to seek growth from capital appreciation.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund (“Value Advantage Fund”) is to seek to provide long-term total return from a combination of income and capital gains.
Class L Shares of Mid Cap Value Fund and Value Advantage Fund are publicly offered on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase Class L Shares of the Funds unless they meet certain requirements as described in the Funds’ prospectus.
Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class I, Class L, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds' prospectus. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
A. Valuation of Investments — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds' valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (the "Boards"), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Boards.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Boards may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Boards have designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Funds on behalf of the Boards subject to appropriate oversight by the Boards. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of Investments held in the Funds. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Boards.
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date.
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Funds' investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
•
Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds' assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments ("SOIs"):

B. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.
The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
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 December 31, 2022.

| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|
| Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower. |
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.13% to 0.06%. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds' investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
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).
C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Funds invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. The Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

D. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund's books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
E. 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.
Dividend income 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.
F. Allocation of Income and Expenses— Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trusts are allocated among the applicable funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2022 are as follows:

G. 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 December 31, 2022, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
H. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to each Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of each Fund's respective average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.010% of each Fund's respective average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the effective annualized rate was 0.070% of each Fund's average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds' sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.
C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as each Fund's principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares.
The Boards have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A , Class C, Class R2 and Class R3 Shares of the Funds, as applicable, Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I, Class L, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares of the Funds do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
In addition, JPMDS is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, JPMDS retained the following:
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
D. Service Fees — The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, have entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to fund shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee with respect to all share classes, except Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
JPMDS has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Funds. Pursuant to such contracts, JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.

JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statements of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund's investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:
JPMIM voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Funds for the Trustee Fees paid to one of the interested Trustees. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the amount of these reimbursements were as follows:
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
G. Other — Certain officers of the Trusts are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
The Boards designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statements of Operations.
The Trusts adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has granted an exemptive order permitting the Funds to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

6. Borrowings
The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPM II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Trusts and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Funds' 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 30, 2023.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the “Applicable Margin”), plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 9, 2022, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a change in the interest associated with any borrowing to the higher, on the day of the borrowing, of (a) the federal funds effective rate, or (b) the one-month Adjusted SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had individual shareholders and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund's outstanding shares as follows:

and/or Non-Affiliated

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds' performance and liquidity.
As of December 31, 2022, the Funds owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the following Underlying Funds:
| JPMorgan

Because Mid Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Value Advantage Fund invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), the Funds may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults by tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders, and certain REITs have self-liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time.
LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA's consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of a Fund's investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on a Fund and its investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain disruptions and increased government spending may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund's investments, increase a Fund's volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2022, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. Effective January 2022, the Board consolidated with the J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust Board and now consists of Trustees from both Boards. The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year and, at each meeting, considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Board also met for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board held meetings on June 21-22, 2022 and August 9-11, 2022, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose semi-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 each investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2022.
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 (including certain ETFs, beginning in February 2022) 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 the Funds, including risk and performance return assessments as
compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the 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 with independent legal counsel in executive sessions at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds throughout the year, 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. Among other things, the Trustees considered:
(i) The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
(ii) The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each of the Funds, including personnel changes, if any;
(iii) The investment strategy for each Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams;
(iv) Information about the structure and distribution strategy for each Fund and how it fits with the Trusts’ other fund offerings;
(v) The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (continued)
(vi) Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Trusts and in the financial industry generally;
(vii) The overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates;
(viii) The commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds;
(ix) Their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity;
(x) The Adviser’s responsiveness to requests for additional information, questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund; and
(xi) The Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser and its affiliates have taken to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates from providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser and reviewed with the Board. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis
presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor, and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees earned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting and other related services for each Fund, and the profitability of the arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from potential economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”), which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that certain other Funds that had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain 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
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
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 Mid Cap Growth Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including, to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered investment company involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the applicable registered investment company, typically bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically retained by the
primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees receive and consider information about the Funds’ performance throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe comprised of funds 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 quintile 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 the Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Growth Advantage Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, first and first quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the third, first and first quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the second, first and first quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the third, first and first quintiles of the Universe, for the one, three and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the second, first and second quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the third, first and first quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the

independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Equity Fund’s performance for both Class A and Class I shares was in the fourth, first and first quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the fifth, first and first quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the fifth, first and first quintiles of both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Growth Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, second and second quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the fourth, first and first quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third, first and first quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the fourth, first and first quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile of the Peer Group, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, and in the third, first and first quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the Mid Cap Value Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second, third and third quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the third, fourth and third quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third, third and fourth quintiles of the Peer Group, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively, and in the third quintile of the Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the second, fourth and third quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the second, third and third quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment
strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.
The Trustees noted that the Value Advantage Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the second, third and fourth quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the second, fourth, and fourth quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the first, third and fourth quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the second, third and fourth quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the first, third and third quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the first, third and fourth quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis and evaluation prepared by the independent consultant. Based upon these discussions and various other factors, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by each Fund to the Adviser and compared the combined rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Broadridge category as each Fund. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund and noted that Universe and Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it can be difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid
| J.P. Morgan Mid Cap/Multi-Cap Funds | |
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 Growth Advantage Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fifth and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the first and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the second and first quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively. After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Letter to Shareholders
February 13, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Financial markets have rebounded somewhat as the U.S. and other developed market economies have shown notable resilience in the face of higher inflation, rising interest rates and the ongoing war in Ukraine. While the factors that weighed on equity and bond markets in 2022 largely remain, there are signals that inflationary pressures may have peaked and the long-term economic outlook appears positive.
|
“Investors may face continued economic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead. However, some of the acute risks encountered in 2022 appear to have receded and last year’s reset in asset prices may provide attractive investment opportunities.” — Brian S. Shlissel
|
While U.S. economic growth was surprisingly strong in the closing months of 2022, with broad gains in employment and consumer spending in the final months of the year, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s efforts to counter inflationary pressure through sharply higher interest rates could slow economic momentum in the months ahead.
Corporate earnings have been squeezed by higher costs for materials and labor, while the strong U.S. dollar has hindered export revenues. However, the impact of higher prices and interest rates has not landed on all sectors of the economy evenly. Energy sector profits have soared over the past year, while earnings in housing and construction sectors have declined.
Across Europe, the war in Ukraine has driven up prices for energy, food and a range of other goods and has fueled negative consumer sentiment. The prolonged nature of the conflict and its potential to spread remain key concerns among policymakers, diplomats, military planners, economists and investors. It is worth noting that Europe’s largest industrialized nations in concert with the European Union have moved swiftly to secure alternatives to Russian sources of natural gas and petroleum, which has eased an energy crisis that began last year.
Investors may face continued economic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead. However, some of the acute risks encountered in 2022 appear to have receded and last year’s reset in asset prices may provide attractive investment opportunities. A long-term view and a properly diversified portfolio, in our opinion, remain key elements to a successful investment approach.
Our broad array of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with ability to build durable portfolios that can help them meet their financial goals.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Shlissel

MARKET OVERVIEW
SIX MONTHS ENDED December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Overall, leading U.S. equity indexes ended the period with positive returns, rebounding from a broad sell-off in August and September. Investors were largely focused on the pace and size of interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), while the highest inflation rate in 40 years, the war in Ukraine and pandemic-related disruptions in China weighed on global financial markets.
During the second half of 2022, the Fed raised interest rates in July, September, November and December, following three increases in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, corporate earnings for the second and third quarters of 2022, generally were better than expected given a cooling economy and slower consumer spending. The U.S. unemployment rate remained historically low, hovering between 3.5% and 3.7% for the six-month period.
Within U.S. equity markets, the energy sector outperformed amid constrained supply from Russia and Europe’s efforts to find alternative sources of petroleum and natural gas. The utilities sector also performed well as investors sought attractive dividend yields and companies less exposed to economic cycles. The real estate sector largely underperformed amid rising interest rates, while changing consumer habits and investor concerns over increased competition weighed on the communication services sector.
Overall, mid cap growth stocks generated the highest U.S. equity returns, while large cap and mid cap value stocks outperformed small cap stocks and large cap growth stocks. For the six month period, the Russell 1000 Index returned 2.30%, the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 6.11% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned -1.48%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation and current income.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s underweight position in the communication services sector and its security selection in the consumer discretionary sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials and health care sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in ConocoPhillips, its underweight position in Meta Platforms Inc. and its out-of-Benchmark position in TJX Cos. Shares of ConocoPhillips, an integrated petroleum and natural gas producer, rose after reporting strong earnings and revenue growth as global energy prices remained elevated during the period. Shares of Meta Platforms, parent company of social media platform Facebook, fell after the company issued a lower-than-expected revenue forecast and amid investor concerns about the company’s push into virtual reality entertainment. Shares of TJX, an operator of discount retail apparel and home products chains, rose after reporting consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and amid investor expectations that U.S. consumers would migrate toward lower cost retailers.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in JPMorgan Chase & Co., its out-of-Benchmark position in Sysco Corp. and its overweight position in CME Group Inc. Shares of JPMorgan Chase, a banking and financial services company that the Fund is prohibited from holding because it is an affiliate, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Sysco, a food distribution company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for its fiscal first quarter. Shares of CME Group, a financials products exchange operator, fell amid investor concerns about the company’s exposure to cryptocurrencies.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers’ focus remained on stock selection, as they believed that quality companies trading at attractive valuations had the greatest potential to outperform in the long term. As the Fund aimed to purchase stocks with above average dividend yields, the research process seeks to identify companies with predictable and durable business models deemed capable of generating sustainable free cash
flow.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS AS OF December 31, 2022

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (12/31/12 TO 12/31/22)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares had similar expenses to Class I Shares.
Returns for Class R3 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns for Class R3 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R3 Shares currently have the same expenses as Class A Shares.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Equity Income Fund and the Russell 1000 Value Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the
Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the bench mark, if applicable. The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A Performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Equity Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of securities in the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”).
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s Class I Shares largely performed in line with the Benchmark, before considering the effect of Fund fees and expenses. This was consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and indexing strategy, as the Fund looks to generate returns that are comparable to those of the Benchmark.
Overall, leading U.S. equity indexes provided positive returns for the period, rebounding from a broad sell-off in September that included a 9.34% decline in the S&P 500.
For the six-month period, the energy and industrials sectors were leading contributors to performance for the Fund and the Benchmark, while the communication services and real estate sectors were leading detractors from performance.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
Regardless of the market outlook, the Fund was managed in strict conformity with a full index replication strategy and aimed to hold the same stocks in nearly the same proportions
as those found in the Benchmark.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (12/31/12 TO 12/31/22)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Equity Index Fund and the S&P 500 Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if
applicable. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A Performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed both the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) and the ICE BofAML 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection and underweight positions in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s underweight position in the energy sector and its security selection in the utilities sector were leading detractors from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark included the Fund’s underweight positions in Tesla Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. and its overweight position in O’Reilly Automotive Inc. Shares of Tesla, an electric vehicle manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell amid investor concerns about both weaker delivery volumes and Chief Executive Elon Musk’s controversial decisions as majority owner and chief executive of Twitter Inc. Shares of Amazon.com, an internet retailer and services provider, fell amid a broad decline in large capitalization technology companies. Shares of O’Reilly Automotive, an auto parts retailer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s out-of-Benchmark positions in TC Energy Corp., and its underweight positions in Netflix Inc. and Home Depot Inc. Shares of TC Energy, an oil and natural gas storage and pipelines operator, fell after the company shut down its Keystone Pipeline System following a leak of an estimated half-million gallons of crude oil. Shares of Netflix, an entertainment content and services provider not held in the Fund, rose amid improving subscriber numbers and positive investor response to the company’s advertising initiatives during the period. Shares of Home Depot, a home improvement retail chain not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported better-than-expected results for the third quarter of 2022 and reaffirmed its full-year 2022 forecast.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund seeks to generate income through a combination of selling options, investing in large cap stocks and delivering monthly income from associated option premiums and stock dividends. The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a proprietary research process designed to identify what they believed were overvalued and undervalued stocks with
attractive risk/return characteristics.

These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. The ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index is comprised of a single issue purchased at the
beginning of the month and held for a full month. Each month the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill 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.
Subsequent to the inception date of the Fund and through April 7, 2019, the Fund did not experience any shareholder activity. If such shareholder activity had occurred, the Fund’s performance may have been impacted.

Net Assets as of 12/31/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan 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 S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the financials and the health services & systems sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the retail and basic materials sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its overweight positions in Seagate Technology Holdings PLC and United Parcel Service Inc. Shares of JPMorgan Chase, a banking and financial services company that the Fund is prohibited from holding because it is an affiliate, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Seagate Technology Holdings, a data storage provider based in Ireland, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter and issued a lower-than-expected earnings forecast for its fiscal second quarter. Shares of United Parcel Service, a package delivery and freight services provider, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2022.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Deere & Co. and Lennar Corp., and its underweight position in Intel Corp.
Shares of Deere, an agricultural equipment and machinery manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and forecast higher sales and earnings. Shares of Lennar, a homebuilder, rose amid signs of slowing inflation in the U.S. and after reporting better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal fourth quarter. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell with the broader semiconductor sub-sector amid lower industry growth forecasts and changes in global technology supply chains.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund used an enhanced index strategy that invests primarily in common stocks of large capitalization U.S. companies, while systematically purchasing and selling exchange-traded index put options and selling exchange-traded index call options. The options overlay is known as a Put/Spread Collar strategy. The combination of the diversified portfolio of equity securities, downside protection from index put options and income from index call options provided the Fund with a portion of the returns associated with equity market investments while exposing the Fund to less risk than
traditional long-only equity strategies.

Net Assets as of 12/31/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection and overweight position in the health care sector and its security selection in the consumer discretionary sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials sector was the leading detractor from relative performance. The Fund’s underweight position in the consumer staples sector also detracted from relative performance but the impact was not significant.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Deere & Co. and HCA Healthcare Inc., and its out-of-Benchmark position in ConocoPhillips. Shares of Deere, an agricultural equipment and machinery manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and forecast higher sales and earnings. Shares of HCA Healthcare, a hospitals and medical services company, rose as investors sought values in the wake of a broad sell-off in hospital operator stocks in the first half of the period. Shares of ConocoPhillips, an integrated petroleum and natural gas producer, rose after reporting strong earnings and revenue growth as global energy prices remained elevated during the period.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in SVB Financial Group and its underweight positions in Broadcom Inc. and Mastercard Inc.
Shares of SVB Financial Group, a regional banking and financial services company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and amid investor concern about the company’s exposure to the information technology sector. Shares of Broadcom, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings for its
fiscal fourth quarter and issued a better-than-expected earnings forecast. Shares of Mastercard, a credit card and financials transactions processor not held in the Fund, rose after the company increased its quarterly dividend and unveiled a $9 billion share repurchase plan.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers utilized a bottom-up approach to stock selection, rigorously researching individual companies in an effort to construct portfolios of stocks that have strong fundamentals and positive price momentum. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought to invest in companies with attractive fundamentals that, in their view, possessed the potential to significantly exceed expectations for a prolonged
period of time.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (12/31/12 TO 12/31/22)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R3 and Class R4 Shares prior to their inception dates are based on the performance of Class I Shares. With respect to Class R3 Shares, prior class performance has been adjusted to reflect the differences in expenses between classes. The actual returns of Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares had similar expenses to Class I Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan Large Cap Growth Fund and the Russell 1000 Growth Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 1000 Growth Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect
reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A Performance for the period after conversion.

Net Assets as of 12/31/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Large Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation with the incidental goal of achieving current income by investing primarily in equity securities.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the consumer discretionary sector and its overweight position in the energy sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the financials and utilities sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Cardinal Health Inc., Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Shares of Cardinal Health, a pharmaceuticals and health care products distributor, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter. Shares of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a drug development company, rose after the company reported positive clinical results for several of its drug candidates. Shares of Royal Caribbean Cruises, a cruise line operator, rose amid positive data from holiday booking trends heading into 2023.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in JP Morgan Chase & Co., and its overweight position in Fidelity National Information Services Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Shares of JPMorgan Chase, a banking and financial services company that the Fund is prohibited from holding because it is an affiliate, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Fidelity National Information Services, a financial services technology provider, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and lowered its earnings forecast for the full year 2022. Shares of Bristol Myers Squibb, a pharmaceuticals developer, fell after the company reported third quarter 2022 sales were hurt by
competition from generic drugs and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio manager combined a bottom-up fundamental approach to security selection with a systematic valuation process. Overall, the Fund’s portfolio manager looked to take advantage of mispriced stocks that he believed
appeared attractive relative to their fair value.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan U.S. Applied Data Science 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 I Shares underperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the financials and communication services sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrials and information technology sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Netflix Inc., and its overweight position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Shares of JPMorgan Chase, a banking and financial services company that the Fund is prohibited from holding, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Netflix, an entertainment content and services provider not held in the Fund, rose amid improving subscriber numbers and positive investor response to the company’s advertising initiatives during the period. Shares of Bristol Myers Squibb, a pharmaceuticals developer, fell after the company reported that third quarter 2022 sales were hurt by competition from generic drugs and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Intel Corp. and its overweight positions in Cigna Corp. and Constellation Energy Co. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell with the broader semiconductor sub-sector amid lower industry growth forecasts and changes in global technology supply chains. Shares of Cigna, a health care insurance provider, rose after reporting better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and reaffirmed its full year 2022 forecast. Shares of Constellation Energy, an electric utility, rose after the company reported better-than-expected revenues during the period and amid investor expectations that the company would benefit from planned federal spending on clean energy projects.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
During the period, the Fund’s portfolio managers employed a data science driven investment approach that combines research, data insights and risk management. The portfolio managers utilize proprietary techniques to process, analyze and combine a wide variety of data sources, including a multi-decade history of proprietary fundamental research,
company fundamentals and alternative data.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class L Shares underperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the commodities sector and its overweight position in the media sector were leading detractors from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in both the industrial cyclical and pharmaceutical/medical technology sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Truist Financial Corp. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., and its underweight position in Netflix Inc. Shares of Truist Financial, a banking and financial services provider, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2022.

Shares of Netflix, an entertainment content and services provider not held in the Fund, rose amid improving subscriber numbers and positive investor response to the company’s advertising initiatives during the period.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Norfolk Southern Co., Deere & Co. and its out-of-Benchmark position in Uber Technologies Inc. Shares of Norfolk Southern, a freight railroad operator, rose as labor negotiations avoided a strike during the period. Shares of Deere, an agricultural equipment and machinery manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and forecast higher sales and earnings. Shares of Uber Technologies, a ride hailing services provider, rose after the company reported better-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2022 amid growth in its customer base.

The JPMorgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s overweight position in the autos & transportation sector and its security selection in the pharmaceutical/medical technology sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the health services & systems sector and the utilities sector was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s underweight position in Tesla Inc., its short position in Intel Corp. and its overweight positions in Deere & Co. Shares of Tesla, an electric vehicle manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell amid investor concerns about both weaker delivery volumes and the Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk’s controversial decisions as majority owner and chief executive of Twitter Inc. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell with the broader semiconductor sub-sector amid lower industry growth forecasts and changes in global technology supply chains. Shares of Deere, an agricultural equipment and machinery manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and forecast higher sales and earnings.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s short position in Omnicom Group Inc. and its overweight positions in Seagate Technology Holdings PLC and Exelon Corp. Shares of Omnicom, a provider of advertising
and marketing services, rose late in the period after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Seagate Technology Holdings, a data storage provider based in Ireland, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter and issued a lower-than-expected earnings forecast for its fiscal second quarter. Shares of Exelon, an electric utility, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the second quarter of 2022 and investor concerns over winter storm damage.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, researching companies to determine their underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. Overall, the Fund’s portfolio managers aimed to take advantage of mispriced stocks that appeared attractive relative to fair value for long positions and looked for overvalued stocks in which to take short positions. The long-to-short exposure ratio at the end of the reporting
period was 124% to 24%.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (12/31/12 TO 12/31/22)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class R5 Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $1,000,000 invested in Class I Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund and the S&P 500 Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and does not include a sales charge. The performance of the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the
benchmark, if applicable. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class I Shares have a $1,000,000 minimum initial investment.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SIX MONTHS ENDED December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

| |
| |
Net Assets as of 12/31/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a consistently high total return from a broadly diversified portfolio of equity securities with risk characteristics similar to the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”).
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class I Shares underperformed the Benchmark for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the financials and consumer staples sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Starbucks Corp., and its overweight position in Seagate Technology Holdings. Shares of JPMorgan Chase, a banking and financial services company that the Fund is prohibited from holding, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Starbucks, a beverages and food retailer not held in the Fund, rose later in the period after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal fourth quarter, as well as growth in comparable store sales. Shares of Seagate Technology Holdings, a data storage provider based in Ireland, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter and issued a lower-than-expected earnings forecast for its fiscal second quarter.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in Lowe’s Cos. and Deere & Co. and its underweight position in Intel Corp. Shares of Lowe’s, a home improvement retail chain, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and raised its earnings forecast. Shares of Deere, an agricultural equipment and machinery manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and forecast higher sales and earnings. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell with the
broader semiconductor sub-sector amid lower industry growth forecasts and changes in global technology supply chains.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers attempted to construct the portfolio so that stock selection was the principal source of potential excess return. The Fund’s portfolio managers sought investment opportunities in companies that they believed were
attractive based on valuation and strong fundamentals.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan U.S. Sustainable Leaders 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 S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors was a leading contributor to performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund had no holdings in the energy sector, which was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Fund’s security selection in the materials sector also detracted from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight positions in TJX Cos. and Deere & Co. and its underweight position in Tesla Inc. Shares of TJX, an operator of discount retail apparel and home products chains, rose after reporting consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and amid investor expectations that U.S. consumers would migrate toward lower cost retailers. Shares of Deere, an agricultural equipment and machinery manufacturer, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and forecast higher sales and earnings. Shares of Tesla, an electric vehicle manufacturer, fell amid investor concerns about both weaker delivery volumes and Chief Executive Elon Musk’s controversial decisions as majority owner and chief executive of Twitter Inc.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance relative included the Fund’s overweight positions in Ball Corp., SVB Financial Group and Iqvia Holdings Inc. Shares of Ball, a metal and glass container manufacturer, fell amid slowing demand for its products and consecutive quarters of lower-than-expected earnings. Shares of SVB Financial Group, a regional banking and financial services company, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and amid investor concern about the company’s exposure to the information technology sector. Shares of Iqvia Holdings, a medical technology and research services provider, fell amid investor concerns about potential U.S. drug pricing legislation and expectations for reduced research and development spending in the health care sector.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
During the period, the Fund employed a proprietary scoring methodology to invest in companies that the Fund’s portfolio managers believed have attractive environmental, social and governance characteristics and potential for long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s positioning during the period was a
result of that process.

Net Assets as of 12/31/2022 (In Thousands) | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan U.S. Value Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide capital growth over the long term.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUND’S PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s Class A Shares, without a sales charge, outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Fund’s security selection in the information technology sector and its underweight position in the communication services sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Fund’s security selection in the industrials and financials sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Fund’s overweight position in ConocoPhillips, its out-of-Benchmark position in TJX Cos. and its underweight position in Verizon Communications Inc. Shares of ConocoPhillips, an integrated petroleum and natural gas producer, rose after reporting strong earnings and revenue growth as global energy prices remained elevated during the period. Shares of TJX, an operator of discount retail apparel and home products chains, rose after reporting consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and amid investor expectations that U.S. consumers would migrate toward lower cost retailers. Shares of Verizon Communications, an integrated telecommunications services provider, fell amid increased competition and lower-than-expected subscriptions during the period.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s underweight positions in JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Gilead Sciences Inc., and its overweight position in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Shares of JPMorgan Chase, a banking and financial services company that the Fund is prohibited from holding because it is an affiliate, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022. Shares of Gilead Sciences, a pharmaceuticals developer not held in the Fund, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and raised its forecast for the full year. Shares of Bristol Myers Squibb, a pharmaceuticals
developer, fell after the company reported third quarter 2022 sales were hurt by competition from generic drugs and unfavorable foreign exchange rates.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
The Fund’s portfolio managers focused on stock selection and aimed to invest in undervalued companies with durable franchises, strong management and the ability to grow their intrinsic value per share. The portfolio managers employed a bottom-up approach to security selection and fundamental
research.

Returns for Class R2 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 Shares would have been lower than those shown because Class R2 Shares have higher expenses than Class A Shares.
Returns for Class R3 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Class A Shares. The actual returns of Class R3 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R3 Shares have similar expenses to Class A Shares.
Returns for Class R4 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R4 Shares would have been similar to those shown because Class R4 Shares have similar expenses to Class I Shares.
Returns for Class R5 and Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns of Class R5 and Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R5 and Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Value Fund and the Russell 1000 Value Index from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses or a sales charge associated with a mutual fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The Russell 1000 Value Index is an unmanaged index, which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. 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. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds' valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (the "Boards"), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Boards.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Boards may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Boards have designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Funds on behalf of the Boards subject to appropriate oversight by the Boards. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of Investments held in the Funds. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Boards.
A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Funds' investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued using prices supplied by approved affiliated and/or unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Boards. This may include the use of related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment. An income-based valuation approach may be used in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate the fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity and industry. It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and such differences could be material.
Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Futures contracts and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Funds' investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
•
Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds' assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments ("SOIs"):

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the NAVs of the Funds.
As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan Prime 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.
| J.P. Morgan Large Cap Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
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 December 31, 2022.

|
| Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower. |
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.13% to 0.06%. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds' investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund | |
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
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).
Hedged Equity Fund, Hedged Equity 2 Fund, Hedged Equity 3 Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, U.S. Applied Data Science Value Fund, U.S. GARP Equity Fund, U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund, U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund. U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund and U.S. Value Fund did not have any securities out on loan at December 31, 2022. Hedged Equity Fund, Hedged Equity 2 Fund, Hedged Equity 3 Fund, U.S. GARP Equity Fund, U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund, U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund and U.S. Value Fund did not lend out any securities during the six months ended December 31, 2022.

E. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Accordingly, such changes are included within Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Reported realized foreign currency gains and losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund's books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These reported realized foreign currency gains and losses are included in Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes (due to changes in exchange rates) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end and are included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translations on the Statements of Operations.
F. Options — Hedged Equity Fund, Hedged Equity 2 Fund and Hedged Equity 3 Fund purchased and sold (“wrote”) put and call options on various instruments including options on indices to manage and hedge interest rate risks within their portfolios and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller.
Options Purchased— Premiums paid by the Funds for options purchased are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Options purchased. The option is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option and the change is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options purchased on the Statements of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Funds will lose the entire premium they paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.
Options Written— Premiums received by the Funds for options written are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option written and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options written on the Statements of Operations. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Funds is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.
The Funds pledge collateral to the counterparty in the form of securities for options written. Securities designated as collateral are denoted on the SOIs.
Written uncovered call options subject the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Written put options subject the Funds to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.
The Funds are not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.
| J.P. Morgan Large Cap Funds | |
The Funds’ exchange-traded option contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
G. Futures Contracts — Equity Index Fund, Equity Premium Income Fund, Hedged Equity Fund, Hedged Equity 2 Fund, Hedged Equity 3 Fund, U.S. Applied Data Science Value Fund, U.S. Equity Fund, U.S. GARP Equity Fund, U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund, U.S. Research Enhanced Equity Fund and U.S. Sustainable Leaders 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).

The Funds' derivatives contracts held at December 31, 2022 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.
I. Equity-Linked Notes — Equity Premium Income Fund invested in Equity-Linked Notes (“ELNs”). These are hybrid instruments which combine both debt and equity characteristics into a single note form. ELNs' values are linked to the performance of an underlying index. ELNs are unsecured debt obligations of an issuer and may not be publicly listed or traded on an exchange. ELNs are valued daily, under procedures adopted by the Board of JPM IV, based on values provided by an approved pricing source. These notes have a coupon which is accrued and recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations. Changes in the market value of ELNs are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when an ELN is sold or matures, which is recorded as Net realized gain (loss) on transactions from investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
As of December 31, 2022, Equity Premium Income Fund had outstanding ELNs as listed on the SOIs.
J. Short Sales — U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund engaged in short sales as part of their normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Fund sells securities it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of those securities. In order to deliver securities to the purchaser, the Fund borrows securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Fund delivers the same securities to the broker.
The Fund is required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash collateral deposited with the broker is recorded as Deposits at broker for securities sold short, while cash collateral deposited at the Fund's custodian for the benefit of the broker is recorded as Restricted cash for securities sold short on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the SOIs. The Fund may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities (calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on availability of the security); and (iii) a financing charge for the difference between the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. The net amounts of income or fees are included as interest income or interest expense on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations.
The Fund is obligated to pay the broker dividends declared on short positions when a position is open on the record date. Dividends on short positions are reported on ex-dividend date on the Statements of Operations as Dividend expense on securities sold short. The Fund is obligated to pay the broker interest accrued on short positions while the position is outstanding. Interest expense on short positions is reported as Interest expense to non-affiliates on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statements of Operations. Short sale transactions may result in unlimited losses as the security’s price increases and the short position loses value. There is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.
The Fund will record a realized loss if the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.
As of December 31, 2022, U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund had outstanding short sales as listed on their SOIs.
K. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis.
Interest income and interest expense on securities sold short, if any, is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Dividend income and dividend expense on securities sold short, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds first learn of the dividend.
| J.P. Morgan Large Cap Funds | |
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
L. Allocation of Income and Expenses— Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trusts are allocated among the applicable funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2022 are as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
M. Federal Income Taxes — Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds' tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2022, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
N. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least quarterly, except for Large Cap Growth Fund, U.S. GARP Equity Fund, U.S. Large Cap Core Plus Fund and U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid at least annually, Equity Income Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid at least monthly, and Equity Premium Income Fund, for which distributions are generally declared daily and paid at least monthly. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets. The annual rate for each Fund is as follows:

During the year ended June 30, 2022, the following Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:
6. Borrowings
The Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPM II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPM II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund as of December 31, 2022. Average borrowings from the Facility for the six months ended December 31, 2022, were as follows:
The Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 30, 2023.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Trusts, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 9, 2022, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include a change in the interest associated with any borrowing to the higher, on the day of the borrowing, of (a) the federal funds effective rate, or (b) the one-month Adjusted SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Equity Premium Income Fund’s investments in ELNs entail varying degrees of risks. The Fund is subject to loss of their full principal amount. In addition, the ELNs are subject to a stated maximum return which may limit the payment at maturity. The Fund may also be exposed to additional risks associated with structured notes including: counterparty credit risk related to the issuer’s ability to make payment at maturity; liquidity risk related to a lack of liquid market for these notes, preventing the Fund from trading or selling the notes easily; and a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk associated with the underlying financial instruments.
LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA's consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of a Fund's investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates
| J.P. Morgan Large Cap Funds | |
may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on a Fund and its investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain disruptions and increased government spending may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund's investments, increase a Fund's volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
8. Subsequent Event
Effective February 17, 2023, all share classes of Hedged Equity Fund are no longer subject to a limited offering.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2022, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. Effective January 2022, the Board consolidated with the J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust Board and now consists of Trustees from both Boards. The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year and, at each meeting, considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Board also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board held meetings on June 21-22, 2022 and August 9-11, 2022, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Fund whose semi-annual report is contained herein (each an “Advisory Agreement” and collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered each investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2022.
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 (including certain ETFs, beginning in February 2022) 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 assessments as compared to the Funds’ objectives, benchmarks, and peers. Before voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees
reviewed the Advisory Agreements with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the 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. Among other things, the Trustees considered:
(i)
The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
(ii)
The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management each of the Funds, including personnel changes, if any;
(iii)
The investment strategy for each Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams;
(iv)
Information about the structure and distribution strategy for each Fund and how it fits with the Trusts’ other fund offerings;
| J.P. Morgan Large Cap Funds | |
BOARD APPROVAL OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (continued)
(v)
The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;
(vi)
Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Trusts and in the financial industry generally;
(vii)
The overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates;
(viii)
The commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds;
(ix)
Their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity;
(x)
The Adviser’s responsiveness to requests for additional information, questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund; and
(xi)
The Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser and its affiliates have taken to provide ongoing services to the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates from providing services to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed and discussed this information. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser and reviewed with the Board. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors
noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under each Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds for providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor, and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees earned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting and other related services for each Fund, and the profitability of the arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds' operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from potential economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”) which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that certain other Funds that had achieved scale as asset levels had increased no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the
| J.P. Morgan Large Cap Funds | |
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 Equity Income Fund, Equity Index Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and U.S. Equity Fund had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including, to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered investment company involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that
sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the applicable registered investment company, typically bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees receive and consider information about the Funds’ performance throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe comprised of funds 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 quintile 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 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 Equity Income Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third quintile of the Peer Group, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, and in the fourth, third and second quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

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 Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund and noted that Universe and Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it can be difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid
by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Equity Income Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the fourth and second quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively.

Letter to Shareholders
February 13, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
Financial markets have rebounded somewhat as the U.S. and other developed market economies have shown notable resilience in the face of higher inflation, rising interest rates and the ongoing war in Ukraine. While the factors that weighed on equity and bond markets in 2022 largely remain, there are signals that inflationary pressures may have peaked and the long-term economic outlook appears positive.

“Investors may face continued economic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead. However, some of the acute risks encountered in 2022 appear to have receded and last year’s reset in asset prices may provide attractive investment opportunities.” — Brian S. Shlissel

While U.S. economic growth was surprisingly strong in the closing months of 2022, with broad gains in employment and consumer spending in the final months of the year, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s efforts to counter inflationary pressure through sharply higher interest rates could slow economic momentum in the months ahead.
Corporate earnings have been squeezed by higher costs for materials and labor, while the strong U.S. dollar has hindered export revenues. However, the impact of higher prices and interest rates has not landed on all sectors of the economy evenly. Energy sector profits have soared over the past year, while earnings in housing and construction sectors have declined.
Across Europe, the war in Ukraine has driven up prices for energy, food and a range of other goods and has fueled negative consumer sentiment. The prolonged nature of the conflict and its potential to spread remain key concerns among policymakers, diplomats, military planners, economists and investors. It is worth noting that Europe’s largest industrialized nations in concert with the European Union have moved swiftly to secure alternatives to Russian sources of natural gas and petroleum, which has eased an energy crisis that began last year.
Investors may face continued economic and geopolitical challenges in the year ahead. However, some of the acute risks encountered in 2022 appear to have receded and last year’s reset in asset prices may provide attractive investment opportunities. A long-term view and a properly diversified portfolio, in our opinion, remain key elements to a successful investment approach.
Our broad array of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with ability to build durable portfolios that can help them meet their financial goals.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES*
The JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund seeks high total return consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity and fixed income securities.
The JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund seeks income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in fixed income and equity securities.
The JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.
The JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and growth of income by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
Developed market equities generally provided modest positive returns for the period, while emerging markets equities slumped. Bond market returns were mixed as leading central banks continued to raise interest rates in the face of the highest levels of inflation in 40 years. Overall, investors largely focused on rising interest rates, the war in Ukraine and pandemic-related disruptions in China.
In the U.S., equity prices rebounded from a sharp sell-off in August and September 2022 that coincided with U.S. Federal Reserve policy guidance on further interest rate increases. However, corporate earnings for both the second and third quarters of 2022 generally were better than expected given a cooling economy and slower consumer spending. While U.S. unemployment rate remained historically low - hovering between 3.5% and 3.7% for the six-month period - by the end of 2022 data indicated some inflationary pressures had eased.
Across Europe, the energy crisis that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022 eased somewhat in the second half of the year as both the U.K. and the EU obtained alternatives to Russian energy imports and global energy prices receded. A political crisis in the U.K. roiled financial markets in London but the ascension of Rishi Sunak to prime minister appeared to remove some investor uncertainty.
Emerging markets broadly declined during the period but there was wide variance among individual nations. Chinese equities continued to underperform amid investor concerns about the economic impact of the country’s strict anti-pandemic policies,
as well as weakness within China’s real estate sector and changes in the global trade for information. While energy prices retreated from historically high levels in the second half of 2022, overall commodities prices remained elevated, which benefitted markets in exporting nations but hurt markets in net importing nations.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FUNDS’ PERFORMANCE?
In accordance with their model allocations, each of the JPMorgan Investor Funds (the “Investor Funds”) allocated its assets among fixed income, equity and alternative investments.
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, each of the Investor Funds’ Class A Shares outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index, the Investor Funds’ broad based fixed income benchmark, mainly due to the Investor Funds’ exposure to equities.
The Investor Growth Fund outperformed the Russell 3000 Index, the Investor Funds’ broad based equity benchmark, mainly due to the Fund’s allocation to international equities. The Investor Balanced Fund, Investor Conservative Growth Fund and the Investor Growth & Income Fund each underperformed the Russell 3000 Index, mainly due to their allocations to fixed income.
Each of the Investor Funds underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index, largely due to their allocations to U.S. equity and U.S. fixed income.
HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED?
Each Investor Fund invested in underlying JPMorgan Funds (“underlying funds”). The underlying funds invest in fixed income securities, equities and other alternative fixed income and equity strategies, such as below investment grade, high yield bonds and real estate investment trusts. Among equities, the underlying funds in which the Investor Funds invested were allocated among large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap and international stocks. The Investor Funds’ portfolio managers made investments for each Investor Fund based on an evaluation of three components: underlying fund selection, tactical asset allocation and strategic asset allocation. The portfolio managers determined the strategic weight for each asset class in the Investor Funds by making investments that they believed would perform well over the long term and maintaining a level of volatility similar to that of each Investor Fund’s composite benchmark. During the reporting period, the Investor Funds’ portfolio managers maintained a relative underweight positions in equity.

TEN YEAR FUND PERFORMANCE (12/31/12 TO 12/31/22)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
Returns for Class R6 Shares prior to its inception date are based on the performance of Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class A Shares of the JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund, the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index, the Russell 3000 Index, the MSCI EAFE Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) and the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2022. The performance of the Fund assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, and includes a sales charge. The performance of the broad-based securities indices and 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 has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmark, if applicable. The performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index, which is not a broad-based securities index, includes expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses incurred by the Fund. The Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index comprised of U.S. Government, mortgage, corporate, and
asset-backed securities with maturities of one to 10 years. The Russell 3000 Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. 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 Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index consists of funds that by portfolio practice maintain a mix of between 40% to 60% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash and cash equivalents. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Class A Shares have a $500 minimum initial investment and carry a 4.50% sales charge.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemptions of Fund shares.
Because Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, the 10 year average annual total return shown above for Class C reflects Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(Dollar values in thousands)
1. Organization
JPMorgan Trust II (the “Trust”) was formed on November 12, 2004, as a Delaware statutory trust, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
The following are 4 separate funds of the Trust (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") covered by this report:
| | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | |
JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | |
JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | |
JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund | Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6 | |
The investment objective of JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund (“Investor Balanced Fund”) is to seek high total return consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity and fixed income securities.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund (“Investor Conservative Growth Fund”) is to seek income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in fixed income and equity securities.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund (“Investor Growth Fund”) is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund (“Investor Growth & Income Fund”) is to seek long-term capital appreciation and growth of income by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.
Class A Shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge while Class C Shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class I and Class R6 shares. Certain Class A Shares, for which front-end sales charges have been waived, may be subject to a CDSC as described in the Funds' prospectus. Class C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency, distribution and service fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and shareholder servicing agreements.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as Adviser (the “Adviser”) and Administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments — Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds' valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board"), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Board is required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Board may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Board has designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Funds on behalf of the Board subject to appropriate oversight by the Board. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of Investments held in the Funds. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
| J.P. Morgan Investor Funds | |
This oversight by the AVC includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
Investments in open-end investment companies, excluding exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (“Underlying Funds”), are valued at each Underlying Fund’s net asset value ("NAV") per share as of the report date.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Funds' investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
•
Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds' assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The following tables represent each valuation input as presented on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments ("SOIs"):

C. 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. Distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds and ETFs are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
D. Allocation of Income and Expenses— Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day.
Transfer agency fees are class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2022 are as follows:
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Investor Conservative Growth Fund | | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Investor Growth & Income Fund | | | | | |
| | | | | |
The Funds invested in Underlying Funds and ETFs and, as a result bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds and ETFs. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statements of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds and ETFs are waived as described in Note 3.F.
E. 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 December 31, 2022, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
F. Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least quarterly, except for Investor Conservative Growth Fund, for which distributions are generally declared and paid at least monthly. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed by each Fund at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of each Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05% of the Funds' average daily net assets.
The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.F.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to each Fund. The Administrator does not receive a fee for these services.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMCB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Funds' sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the fees payable to the Administrator.
C. Distribution Fees — Pursuant to a Distribution Agreement, JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as each Fund's principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of each Fund's shares.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Funds, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I and Class R6 Shares of the Funds do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that each Fund shall
| J.P. Morgan Investor Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
In addition, JPMDS is entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the CDSC from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, JPMDS retained the following:
| | |
| | |
Investor Conservative Growth Fund | | |
| | |
Investor Growth & Income Fund | | |
|
| Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
D. Service Fees — The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provides certain support services to fund shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS receives a fee with respect to all share classes, except Class R6 Shares which do not charge a service fee, that is accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
JPMDS has entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invest in the Funds. Pursuant to such contracts, JPMDS will pay all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.
JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.F.
E. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Funds. For performing these services, the Funds pay JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Funds for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statements of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
F. Waivers and Reimbursements —The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the following Funds to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Funds' respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | |
| | | | |
Investor Conservative Growth Fund | | | | |
| | | | |
Investor Growth & Income Fund | | | | |
The expense limitation agreements were in effect for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and the contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least October 31, 2023.
The Underlying Funds may impose separate advisory and service fees. To avoid charging a service fee at an effective rate above 0.25% for Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, JPMDS will waive service fees with respect to the Funds in an amount equal to the weighted average pro-rata amount of service fees charged by the Underlying Funds up to 0.25% for Class A, Class C and Class I Shares. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Funds’ contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Funds’ service fees.
| J.P. Morgan Investor Funds | |
For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Funds' service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

| | | |
| | | |
Investor Conservative Growth Fund | | | |
| | | |
Investor Growth & Income Fund | | | |
Additionally, the Funds may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the applicable Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Funds to repay any such waived fees and/ or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amounts of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the six months ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:
| |
| |
Investor Conservative Growth Fund | |

G. Other — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Funds pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund, along with affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statements of Operations.
The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.

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 the Trust and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of the Trust are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 30, 2023.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), have entered into a joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating funds pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 9, 2022, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless
| J.P. Morgan Investor Funds | |
extended, and to include a change in the interest associated with any borrowing to the higher, on the day of the borrowing, of (a) the federal funds effective rate, or (b) the one-month Adjusted SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts each owning more than 10% of the respective Fund's outstanding shares as follows:
| Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | | Number of
Individual Shareholder
and/or Non-Affiliated
Omnibus Accounts | |
| | | | |

| | | | |
Investor Growth & Income Fund | | | | |
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds' performance and liquidity.
As of December 31, 2022, the Funds owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the following Underlying Funds:
| |
JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF | |
JPMorgan U.S. GARP Equity Fund | |
JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Fund | |
JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund | |
JPMorgan Emerging Markets Debt Fund | |
JPMorgan Large Cap Value Fund | |

| |
Because of the Funds’ investments in Underlying Funds and ETFs, the Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds and ETFs. As a result, the cost of investing in the Funds may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Funds are also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ and ETFs’ investments in securities and financial instruments such as fixed income securities, including high yield, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, equity securities, foreign and emerging markets securities, commodities and real estate securities. These securities are subject to risks specific to their structure, sector or market.
The Funds invest in ETFs. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs may be structured as investment companies, depositary receipts or other pooled investment vehicles and may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indices, as well as indices relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price below or above their NAV (also known as a discount or premium, respectively).

AS OF December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
(Dollar values in thousands)
In addition, the Underlying Funds and ETFs may use derivative instruments in connection with their individual investment strategies including futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, options, swaps and other derivatives, which are also subject to specific risks related to their structure, sector or market and may be riskier than investments in other types of securities.
Specific risks and concentrations present in the Underlying Funds and ETFs are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.
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. 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. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of a Fund's investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on a Fund and its investments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain disruptions and increased government spending may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds (not including expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs) and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment in each Class at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2022, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2022.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of each Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Class of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds and ETFs. Therefore, the second line for each Class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. Effective January 2022, the Board consolidated with the J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust Board and now consists of Trustees from both Boards. The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year and, at each meeting, considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Board also met for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board held meetings on June 21-22, 2022 and August 9-11, 2022, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund whose semi-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 Funds and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which each Fund invests (the “Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered each investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to an Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to an Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of each Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2022.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Funds and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Funds’ and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks, and analyses by the Adviser of the Funds’ and the Underlying Funds’ performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds (including certain ETFs, beginning in February 2022) 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, with respect to the Funds and/or Underlying Funds, performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent
providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”). The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of the Funds and certain Underlying Funds, including risk and performance return assessments as compared to the Funds’ and/or Underlying 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 Trust, 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 with independent legal counsel in executive sessions at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve each Advisory Agreement is provided below. Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Funds and Underlying Funds throughout the year, 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. Among other things, the Trustees considered:
(i)
The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
(ii)
The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management each of the Funds and Underlying Funds, including personnel changes, if any;
| J.P. Morgan Investor Funds | |
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (continued)
(iii)
The investment strategy for each Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management teams;
(iv)
Information about the structure and distribution strategy for each Fund and how it fits with the Trust’s other fund offerings;
(v)
The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;
(vi)
Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Trusts and in the financial industry generally;
(vii)
The overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates;
(viii)
The commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds and Underlying Funds, as applicable;
(ix)
Their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity;
(x)
The Adviser’s responsiveness to requests for additional information, questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to each Fund and Underlying Funds; and
(xi)
The Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser and its affiliates have taken to provide ongoing services to the Funds and Underlying Funds, as applicable, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s and its affiliates and the sub-advisers’ success in continuing to provide services to the Funds and their shareholders throughout this period.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates from providing services to the Funds and Underlying Funds. 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 and Underlying Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser and reviewed with the Board. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative informa
tion 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 and Underlying Fund.
The Trustees also considered that JPMDS, an affiliate of the Adviser, and the Adviser earn fees from the Funds and/or Underlying Funds for providing shareholder and administration services, respectively. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the payments of Rule 12b-1 fees to JPMDS, which also acts as the Funds’ distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Funds, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees earned by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting and other related services for the Funds and/or Underlying Funds, and the profitability of the arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds. The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds' operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Funds’ investments in the Underlying Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds may benefit from potential economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Funds and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Funds were priced to scale and whether it
| J.P. Morgan Investor Funds | |
would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. The Trustees noted certain Funds with contractual expense limitations and fee waivers (“Fee Caps”) which allow a Fund’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a Fund’s inception, prior to reaching scale. The Trustees also noted that certain other Funds that had achieved scale as asset levels had increased, no longer had Fee Caps in place for some or all of their share classes, but shared economies of scale through lower average expenses. The Trustees noted that the fees remain 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 Funds had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. In determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the Senior Officer’s report.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including, to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, and for investment management styles substantially similar to that of each Fund.
The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered investment company involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the applicable registered investment company, typically bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to each Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees receive and consider information about the Funds’ performance throughout the year. In addition, the Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Funds in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Funds within a performance universe comprised of funds 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 quintile 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 the Funds by the Trustees’ independent consultant. The Trustees also engaged with the Adviser to consider what steps might be taken to improve performance, as applicable. The Broadridge performance data noted by the Trustees as part of their review and the determinations made by the Trustees with respect to each Fund’s performance for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Investor Balanced Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third quintile of the Peer Group for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, and in the third, second and second quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year
| J.P. Morgan Investor Funds | |
BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (continued)
periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class I shares was in the third, second and second quintiles of both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the third and second quintiles of both the Peer Group and Universe, for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis 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 Investor Conservative Growth Fund’s performance for Class A shares was in the third, fourth and third quintiles of the Peer Group, and in the third, second and second quintiles of the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for the Class I shares was in the second quintile of the Peer Group for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, and in the third, second and first quintiles of the Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The Trustees noted that the performance for Class R6 shares was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, for both the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2021. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Fund with the Adviser and reviewed the performance analysis prepared by the independent consultant.

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 Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported each Fund’s management fee rate as the combined contractual advisory fee and the administration fee rates. The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the expense ratios for each Fund and noted that Universe and/or Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. For each Fund that had a Fee Cap in place, the Trustees considered the net advisory fee rate and net expense ratio for each share class, as applicable, taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees also considered any proposed changes to a Fee Cap, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it can be difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of each Fund’s advisory fees and expense ratios for certain representative classes are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Investor Balanced Fund’s net advisory fee for Class A shares was in the second and third quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively, and that the actual total expenses for Class A shares were in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class I shares was in the third quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class I shares were in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. The Trustees noted that the net advisory fee for Class R6 shares was in the

third quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class R6 shares were in the first quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe. After considering the factors identified above, in light of the information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee was satisfactory in light of the services provided to the Fund and that such fees would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory contract of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.
