LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
The immense efforts of central banks, government and researchers in the public and private sectors appear to have shepherded the world through the most difficult days of a profound crisis caused by the pandemic. While the economic and health care challenges are not behind us, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.
| | |
 | | “We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.” — Andrea L. Lisher |
The development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 toward the end of 2020 provided hope that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. That optimism spread to global financial markets. While leading equity indexes fell by 20% or more in the first quarter of 2020, financial markets stabilized and equity markets largely rebounded — slowly at first and then rapidly the second half of the year. At the end of 2020, the S&P 500 Index had generated a total return of 18.10% for the full 12 months and 22.16% for the final six months of the year.
We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the
direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.
Certainly, enormous challenges remain in both the implementation of global vaccinations and in the rebuilding of economies at the local, national and international levels. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to better navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.
On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.
Sincerely yours,

Andrea L. Lisher

PORTFOLIO COMMENTARY
TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
| | | | |
REPORTING PERIOD RETURN: | |

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index | | | 7.51% | |
| |
Net Assets as of 12/31/2020 (In Thousands) | | | $531,776 | |
Duration as of 12/31/2020 | | | 5.9 years | |
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Insurance Trust Core Bond Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of intermediate- and long-term debt securities.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
Global financial markets generally recovered from a sharp sell-off in the first quarter of 2020, led by a rally in equity markets in the second half of the year. Investor demand for equity was largely fueled by continued support from central banks, relief spending by governments across the globe and the development and approvals of the first vaccines against Covid-19.
In the first days of January 2020, financial markets largely shrugged off a brief flare-up in military tensions between the U.S. and Iran. However, the emergence and spread of Covid-19 fed increasing investor uncertainty and by early March, the novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The closure of large sectors of national economies on a global scale sparked a dramatic sell-off in financial markets. Yields on developed market sovereign bonds fell sharply and prices for commodity gold spiked. By the end of the first quarter of 2020, leading developed market equity indexes had lost 20% or more of their value from the start of the year. Corporate bond prices fell and the price of crude oil ended the first quarter down by 60%.
Leading central banks promptly responded with lower interest rates and/or asset purchasing programs, which helped to support asset price stability and head off a potential liquidity crunch in credit markets. Governments also responded with a range of fiscal stimulus or paycheck protection programs designed to cushion the economic impact of the pandemic. In the ensuing months, global equity markets staged a slow and uneven rebound, led by U.S. and emerging markets.
At the start of the second half of the year, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.
U.S. equity markets continued to outperformed bond markets in the final months of the year amid investor optimism following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first vaccines against Covid-19. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE?
The Portfolio’s Class 1 shares outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.
Relative to the Benchmark, the Portfolio’s overweight allocations to asset-backed securities and corporate credit were leading contributors to performance during the period. The Portfolio’s security selection in corporate credit also contributed to performance. The Portfolio’s slightly longer duration profile relative to the Benchmark, its overweight position in the 5-10 year portion of the yield curve and its underweight position in the 20-plus year portion of the yield curve also contributed to relative performance. Generally, bonds with longer duration will experience a greater increase in price as interest rates fall versus bonds with shorter duration. The yield curve shows the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar bonds at a given point in time.
The Portfolio’s overweight allocation to non- agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) was the leading detractor from relative performance as CMBS generally underperformed other credit sectors during the year.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED?
The Portfolio’s primary strategy was to focus on security selection and relative value, which seeks to identify undervalued bonds among individual securities and across market sectors. The portfolio managers used bottom-up fundamental research to construct what they believed to be a portfolio of undervalued fixed income securities.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
2 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
Relative to the Benchmark, the Portfolio ended the reporting period with an underweight position in U.S. Treasury securities and an overweight position in corporate credit and securitized debt sectors, including asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, which included both agency and non-agency debt. The Portfolio was overweight in the intermediate part of the yield curve, underweight in the long end of the yield curve and maintained a longer duration profile before finishing the year shorter in duration than the Benchmark.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE 12/31/10 TO 12/31/20

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class 1 Shares of the JPMorgan Insurance Trust Core Bond Portfolio and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Portfolio assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Portfolio performance does not reflect any charges imposed by the Policies or Eligible Plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower than shown. Portfolio performance may reflect the waiver of the Portfolio’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. 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.

SCHEDULE OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
Abbreviations
| | |
ABS | | Asset-Backed Securities |
ACES | | Alternative Credit Enhancement Securities |
ARM | | Adjustable Rate Mortgage. The interest rate shown is the rate in effect as of December 31, 2020. |
CSMC | | Credit Suisse Mortgage Trust |

FHLMC | | Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. |
FNMA | | Federal National Mortgage Association |
GNMA | | Government National Mortgage Association |
HB | | High Coupon Bonds (a.k.a. “IOettes”) represent the right to receive interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgages with similar features as those associated with IO securities. Unlike IO’s the owner also has a right to receive a very small portion of principal. The high interest rates result from taking interest payments from other classes in the Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit trust and allocating them to the small principal of the HB class. |
ICE | | Intercontinental Exchange |
IF | | Inverse Floaters represent securities that pay interest at a rate that increases (decreases) with a decline (incline) in a specified index or have an interest rate that adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. The interest rate shown is the rate in effect as of December 31, 2020. The rate may be subject to a cap and floor. |
IO | | Interest Only represents the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The principal amount shown represents the par value on the underlying pool. The yields on these securities are subject to accelerated principal paydowns as a result of prepayment or refinancing of the underlying pool of mortgage instruments. As a result, interest income may be reduced considerably. |
LIBOR | | London Interbank Offered Rate |
PO | | Principal Only represents the right to receive the principal portion only on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The market value of these securities is extremely volatile in response to changes in market interest rates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020
1. Organization
JPMorgan Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and is a Massachusetts business trust.
The following is a separate portfolio of the Trust (the “Portfolio”) covered by this report:
| | | | |
| | Classes Offered | | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Insurance Trust Core Bond Portfolio | | Class 1 and Class 2 | | Diversified |
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek to maximize total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of intermediate- and long-term debt securities.
Portfolio shares are offered only to separate accounts of participating insurance companies and Eligible Plans. Individuals may not purchase shares directly from the Portfolio.
All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency fees and distribution fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and administrative services plan.
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 Portfolio.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The Portfolio is an investment company and, accordingly, follows 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 Portfolio’s 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.
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Portfolio’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Portfolio. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Portfolio’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and/or unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. 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 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.
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s net asset values ("NAV") per share as of the report date.
See the table on “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements” for information on the valuation techniques and inputs used to value level 3 securities held by the Portfolio at December 31, 2020.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
40 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s 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 table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments ("SOI") (amounts in thousands):

The changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at December 31, 2020, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) amounted to approximately $166,000. This amount is included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Transfers from level 2 to level 3 are due to a decline in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack of available market inputs to determine the price for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Portfolio’s investments are listed below. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for lack of marketability, liquidity discount, probability of default, yield and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the discount rate or prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement.

# | The table above does not include certain Level 3 investments that are valued by brokers and Pricing Services. At December 31, 2020, the value of these investments was approximately $4,904,000. The inputs for these investments are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and generally are those inputs described in Note 2.A. |
(a) | Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments. |
B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Portfolio under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. When-Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments — The Portfolio purchased when-issued securities, including To Be Announced (“TBA”) securities, and entered into contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price that may be settled a month or more after the trade date, or purchased delayed delivery securities which generally settle seven days after the trade date. When-issued securities are securities that have been authorized, but not issued in the market. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date that may be settled a month or more after the trade date. A delayed delivery security is agreed upon in advance between the buyer and the seller of the security and is generally delivered beyond seven days of the agreed upon date. The purchase of securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. The sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. The Portfolio may be exposed to credit risk if the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the transaction. Interest income for securities purchased on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis is not accrued until the settlement date.
The Portfolio had forward commitments and delayed delivery securities outstanding as of December 31, 2020, which are shown as a Payable for Investment securities purchased — delayed delivery securities on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The values of these securities held at December 31, 2020 are detailed on the SOI.
D. Securities Lending — The Portfolio is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Portfolio is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of 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 Portfolio). Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Portfolio also receives 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 Statement of Operations.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
42 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Portfolio bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is 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 Portfolio may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Portfolio from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Portfolio to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Portfolio’s investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):
(a) | 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).
The Portfolio did not have any securities out on loan at December 31, 2020.
E. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Portfolio invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Portfolio may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Portfolio assumes the issuers listed in the table below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchase cost amounts in the table below. Amounts in the table below are in thousands.

(c) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
* | Amount is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net) (after payments of rebates and Citibank’s fee). |
F. 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 the Portfolio first learns of the dividend.
The Portfolio invests in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. These adjustments are recorded as increases or decreases to interest income on the Statement of Operations. Coupon payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Portfolio records 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 Portfolio adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
G. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio, while the expenses attributable to more than one portfolio of the Trust are allocated among the applicable portfolios. 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 Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | | Class 2 | | | Total | |
Transfer agency fees | | $ | 3 | | | $ | 2 | | | $ | 5 | |
H. Federal Income Taxes — The Portfolio is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Portfolio’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. The Portfolio is also a segregated portfolio of assets for insurance purposes and intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter L of the Code. Management has reviewed the Portfolio’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2020, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s 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. The Portfolio’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
I. 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 at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Paid-in-Capital | | | Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | | Accumulated net realized gains (losses) | |
| | $ | (57 | ) | | $ | 42 | | | $ | 15 | |
The reclassifications for the Portfolio relate primarily to callable bonds.
J. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Portfolio’s financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of the Portfolio and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the effective rate was 0.075% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
44 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.E.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Portfolio’s shares.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class 2 Shares of the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class 1 Shares of the Portfolio do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that the Portfolio shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class 2 Shares.
D. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Portfolio. For performing these services, the Portfolio pays 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 Portfolio for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
E. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser (for all share classes), Administrator (for all share classes) and/or JPMDS (for Class 2 Shares) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Portfolio (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 Portfolio’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | Class 2 | |
| | 0.60% | | | 0.85 | % |
The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least April 30, 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio’s service providers did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Portfolio.
Additionally, the Portfolio may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 Portfolio’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Portfolio to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $75,000.
F. 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 Portfolio for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Portfolio, along with affiliated portfolios, 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 Statement 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio relies 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’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 Portfolio because the Portfolio 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 Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the year ended December 31, 2020.
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 Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’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 November 1, 2021.
The Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
46 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 portfolio must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a portfolio does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the portfolio must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing portfolio at a rate of interest equal to 1.00%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating portfolios pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.
The Portfolio did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Portfolio. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had two individual shareholder and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts, which owned 57.9% of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares.
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Portfolio’s performance and liquidity.
The Portfolio is subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage-related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio is subject to the risk that, should the Portfolio decide to sell an illiquid investment when a ready buyer is not available at a price the Portfolio deems to be representative of its value, the value of the Portfolio’s net assets could be adversely affected.
The Portfolio is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Portfolio could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The Portfolio invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these investments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate investments may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. The Portfolio may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Portfolio’s yield (and total return) also may be low or the Portfolio may be unable to maintain positive returns. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value of a Portfolio’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality.
The Portfolio invests in preferred securities. These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest bearing notes with preferred security characteristics and may include provisions that permit the issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a certain period of 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. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Portfolio’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of the Portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.
The Portfolio is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Portfolio’s investments, increase the Portfolio’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Portfolio and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Portfolio’s operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Portfolio invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on the Portfolio’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.
8. Subsequent Event
On February 10, 2021, the contractual expense limitations of Class 1 Shares and Class 2 Shares were extended until at least April 30, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Insurance Trust and Shareholders of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Core Bond Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Core Bond Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting JPMorgan Insurance Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees (for Class 2 Shares) and other Portfolio expenses. Because the Portfolio is a funding vehicle for Policies and Eligible Plans, you may also incur sales charges and other fees relating to the Policies or Eligible Plans. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio, but not the costs of the Policies or Eligible Plans, 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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of the Portfolio in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Portfolio 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 or the costs associated with the Policies and Eligible Plans through which the Portfolio is held. 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 AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2020, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Portfolio received from the Adviser. This information includes the Portfolio’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Portfolio’s performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management 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”). Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement 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 Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement 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 the 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 Portfolio throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, personnel changes, if any, and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Portfolio by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio and the infrastructure supporting the team, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Portfolio during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Portfolio and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.
The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Portfolio gained from their experience as Trustees of the

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited) (continued)
J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Portfolio, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Portfolio.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Portfolio.
The Trustees also considered that the Adviser earns fees from the Portfolio for providing administration services. 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, an affiliate of the Adviser, which also acts as the Portfolio’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Portfolio, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio’s 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.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Portfolio and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Portfolio has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow the Portfolio’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from its inception and that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio, including Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Portfolio at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that the Portfolio’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Portfolio.

Independent Written Evaluation of the Portfolio’s Chief Compliance Officer
The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Portfolio had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, ETFs and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Portfolio. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Portfolio in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Portfolio in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Portfolio within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Portfolio’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to a representative class to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Portfolio’s performance against its benchmark and considered the
performance information provided for the Portfolio at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. 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 the Portfolio’s performance are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s performance for Class 1 shares was in the fourth, third and fourth quintiles, based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, third and third quintiles, based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Portfolio with the Adviser and based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Portfolio, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Portfolio’s advisory fees and expense ratios are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s net advisory fee for Class 1 shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class 1 shares were in the fourth quintile based upon 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 Portfolio.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
The immense efforts of central banks, government and researchers in the public and private sectors appear to have shepherded the world through the most difficult days of a profound crisis caused by the pandemic. While the economic and health care challenges are not behind us, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.
| | |
 | | “We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.” — Andrea L. Lisher |
The development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 toward the end of 2020 provided hope that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. That optimism spread to global financial markets. While leading equity indexes fell by 20% or more in the first quarter of 2020, financial markets stabilized and equity markets largely rebounded — slowly at first and then rapidly the second half of the year. At the end of 2020, the S&P 500 Index had generated a total return of 18.10% for the full 12 months and 22.16% for the final six months of the year.
We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the
direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.
Certainly, enormous challenges remain in both the implementation of global vaccinations and in the rebuilding of economies at the local, national and international levels. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to better navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.
On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.
Sincerely yours,

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Insurance Trust Mid Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital appreciation with the secondary goal of achieving current income by investing primarily in equity securities.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
Global financial markets generally recovered from a sharp sell-off in the first quarter of 2020, led by a rally in equity markets in the second half of the year. Investor demand for equity was largely fueled by continued support from central banks, relief spending by governments across the globe and the development and approvals of the first vaccines against Covid-19.
In the first days of January 2020, financial markets largely shrugged off a brief flare-up in military tensions between the U.S. and Iran. However, the emergence and spread of Covid-19 fed increasing investor uncertainty and by early March, the novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The closure of large sectors of national economies on a global scale sparked a dramatic sell-off in financial markets. Yields on developed market sovereign bonds fell sharply and prices for commodity gold spiked. By the end of the first quarter of 2020, leading developed market equity indexes had lost 20% or more of their value from the start of the year. Corporate bond prices fell and the price of crude oil ended the first quarter down by 60%.
Leading central banks promptly responded with lower interest rates and/or asset purchasing programs, which helped to support asset price stability and head off a potential liquidity crunch in credit markets. Governments also responded with a range of fiscal stimulus or paycheck protection programs designed to cushion the economic impact of the pandemic. In the ensuing months, global equity markets staged a slow and uneven rebound, led by U.S. and emerging markets.
At the start of the second half of the year, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for the S&P 500 in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the
U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.
Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 in the final week of October.
U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.
Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the re-opening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.
In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE?
The Portfolio’s Class 1 Shares underperformed the Russell Midcap Value Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The Portfolio’s security selection in the real estate and health care sectors was a leading detractor
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
2 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
to performance relative to the Benchmark, while the Portfolio’s security selection in the energy and financials sectors was a leading contributor to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Portfolio’s underweight positions in Newmont Corp. and Digital Realty Trust Inc. and its overweight position in PVH Corp. Shares of Newmont, a gold mining and processing company not held in the Portfolio, rose due to increased investor demand for commodity gold amid financial market volatility in response to the pandemic. Shares of Digital Realty Trust, a real estate trust operating in the data center sector not held in the Portfolio, rose amid investor expectations for increased demand for data centers in response to office closures during the pandemic. Shares of PVH, a brand-name apparel and accessories company, fell early in the period after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal first quarter 2020.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Synopsys Inc., Williams Cos. and T. Rowe Price Group Inc. Shares of Synopsys, a provider of software and consulting to the semiconductor industry, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for its fiscal fourth quarter. Shares of Williams Cos., a natural gas and petroleum producer, rose amid investor expectations for growth in natural gas demand and a broader rebound in energy prices. Shares of T. Rowe Price Group, provider of mutual funds and other investment services, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2021.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED?
The 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, sustainable levels of free cash flow. During the reporting period, the Portfolio maintained overweight positions in the financials and real estate sectors, while maintaining underweight positions in the industrials and materials sectors.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE (12/31/10 TO 12/31/20)

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class 1 Shares of the JPMorgan Insurance Trust Mid Cap Value Portfolio and the Russell Midcap Value Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Portfolio assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the Russell Midcap Value Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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 Midcap Value Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Portfolio performance does not reflect any charges imposed by the Policies or Eligible Plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower than shown. Portfolio performance may reflect the waiver of the Portfolio’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower.
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, 2020
1. Organization
JPMorgan Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and is a Massachusetts business trust.
The following is a separate portfolio of the Trust (the “Portfolio”) covered by this report:
| | | | |
| | Class Offered | | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Insurance Trust Mid Cap Value Portfolio | | Class 1 | | Diversified |
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek capital appreciation with the secondary goal of achieving current income by investing primarily in equity securities.
Portfolio shares are offered only to separate accounts of participating insurance companies and Eligible Plans. Individuals may not purchase shares directly from the Portfolio.
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 Portfolio.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The Portfolio is an investment company and, accordingly, follows 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 Portfolio’s 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.
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Portfolio’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Portfolio. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
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 value (“NAV”) of the Portfolio is 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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s 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.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
14 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”) (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 Quoted prices | | | Level 2 Other significant observable inputs | | | Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs | | | Total | |
Total Investments in Securities (a) | | $ | 449,609 | | | $ | – | | | $ | – | | | $ | 449,609 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| |
(a) | Please refer to the SOI for specifics of portfolio holdings. |
B. Securities Lending — The Portfolio is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Portfolio is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of 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 Portfolio). Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Portfolio also receives 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 Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Portfolio bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is 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 Portfolio may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands).
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Investment Securities on Loan, at value, Presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | Cash Collateral Posted by Borrower* | | | Net Amount Due to Counterparty (not less than zero) | |
| | $1,342 | | $ | (1,342 | ) | | $ | — | |
* | 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 Portfolio from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Portfolio to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Portfolio’s investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):
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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

(b) | The rate shown is the current yield as of December 31, 2020. |
(c) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
* | Amount is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net) (after payments of rebates and Citibank’s fee). |
D. 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 the Portfolio first learns of the dividend.
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Portfolio records 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 Portfolio adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
E. Allocation of Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio, while the expenses attributable to more than one portfolio of the Trust are allocated among the applicable portfolios.
F. Federal Income Taxes — The Portfolio is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Portfolio’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. The Portfolio is also a segregated portfolio of assets for insurance purposes and intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter L of the Code. Management has reviewed the Portfolio’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2020, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s 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. The Portfolio’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
G. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed 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.
H. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Portfolio’s financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of the Portfolio and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.E.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the effective rate was 0.075% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.E.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Portfolio’s shares.
D. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Portfolio. For performing these services, the Portfolio pays 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 Portfolio for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
E. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser and/or Administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Portfolio (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 0.90% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the contractual expense limitation percentage is in place until at least April 30, 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio’s service providers did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Portfolio.
Additionally, the Portfolio may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser and/or Administrator 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 Portfolio’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Portfolio to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $18,000.
F. 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 Portfolio for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Portfolio, along with affiliated portfolios, 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 Statement 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
4. Investment Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2020, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases (excluding U.S. Government) | | | Sales (excluding U.S. Government) | |
| | $ | 80,794 | | | $ | 114,900 | |
During the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.
5. Federal Income Tax Matters
For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at December 31, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Aggregate Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
| | $ | 283,435 | | | $ | 178,803 | | | $ | 12,629 | | | $ | 166,174 | |
The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to wash sale loss deferrals.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2020 was as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Ordinary Income* | | | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
| | $ | 6,105 | | | $ | 25,471 | | | $ | 31,576 | |
* Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for income tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2019 was as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Ordinary Income* | | | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
| | $ | 9,269 | | | $ | 30,862 | | | $ | 40,131 | |
* Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for income tax purposes.
As of December 31, 2020, the estimated components of net assets (excluding paid-in-capital) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Current Distributable Ordinary Income | | | Current Distributable Long-Term Capital Gain (Tax Basis Capital Loss Carryover) | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
| | $ | 5,355 | | | $ | 24,528 | | | $ | 166,174 | |
The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of wash sale loss deferrals.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.
6. Borrowings
The Portfolio relies 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’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 Portfolio because the Portfolio 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 Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the year ended December 31, 2020.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
18 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
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 Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’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 November 1, 2021.
The Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 portfolio must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a portfolio does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the portfolio must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing portfolio at a rate of interest equal to 1.00%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating portfolios pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.
The Portfolio did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Portfolio. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had two individual shareholder and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts, which owned 76.4% of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares.
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Portfolio’s performance and liquidity.
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 Portfolio’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Portfolio to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Portfolio 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. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Portfolio’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of the Portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.
The Portfolio is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Portfolio’s investments, increase the Portfolio’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Portfolio and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Portfolio’s operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Portfolio invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on the Portfolio’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.
8. Subsequent Event
On February 10, 2021, the contractual expense limitation for Class 1 Shares was extended until at least April 30, 2022.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Mid Cap Value Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting JPMorgan Insurance Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees and other Portfolio expenses. Because the Portfolio is a funding vehicle for Policies and Eligible Plans, you may also incur sales charges and other fees relating to the Policies or Eligible Plans. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio, but not the costs of the Policies or Eligible Plans, 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 the Portfolio at the beginning of the reporting period, July 1, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
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 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 in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio 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 or the costs associated with the Policies and Eligible Plans through which the Portfolio is held. Therefore, the second line 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 AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2020, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Portfolio received from the Adviser. This information includes the Portfolio’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Portfolio’s performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management 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”). Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement 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 Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement 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 the 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 Portfolio throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, personnel changes, if any, and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Portfolio by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio and the infrastructure supporting the team, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Portfolio during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Portfolio and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.
The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Portfolio gained from their experience as Trustees of the
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
26 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Portfolio, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Portfolio.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Portfolio.
The Trustees also considered that the Adviser earns fees from the Portfolio for providing administration services. These fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio’s 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.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Portfolio and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Portfolio has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow the Portfolio’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from its inception and that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio, including Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Portfolio at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that the Portfolio’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Portfolio.
Independent Written Evaluation of the Portfolio’s Chief Compliance Officer
The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Portfolio had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited) (continued)
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, ETFs and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Portfolio. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Portfolio in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Portfolio in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Portfolio within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Portfolio’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to a representative class to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Portfolio’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Portfolio at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. 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 the Portfolio’s performance are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s performance for Class 1 shares was in the fourth, fourth and second quintiles, based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, fourth and third quintiles, based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Portfolio with the Adviser and based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Portfolio, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Portfolio’s advisory fees and expense ratios are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class 1 shares were both in the second quintile based upon the Peer Group and were both in the third quintile based upon the 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 Portfolio.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
The immense efforts of central banks, government and researchers in the public and private sectors appear to have shepherded the world through the most difficult days of a profound crisis caused by the pandemic. While the economic and health care challenges are not behind us, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.
| | |
 | | “We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.” — Andrea L. Lisher |
The development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 toward the end of 2020 provided hope that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. That optimism spread to global financial markets. While leading equity indexes fell by 20% or more in the first quarter of 2020, financial markets stabilized and equity markets largely rebounded — slowly at first and then rapidly the second half of the year. At the end of 2020, the S&P 500 Index had generated a total return of 18.10% for the full 12 months and 22.16% for the final six months of the year.
We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the
direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.
Certainly, enormous challenges remain in both the implementation of global vaccinations and in the rebuilding of economies at the local, national and international levels. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to better navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.
On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.
Sincerely yours,

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks capital growth over the long term.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
Global financial markets generally recovered from a sharp sell-off in the first quarter of 2020, led by a rally in equity markets in the second half of the year. Investor demand for equity was largely fueled by continued support from central banks, relief spending by governments across the globe and the development and approvals of the first vaccines against Covid-19.
In the first days of January 2020, financial markets largely shrugged off a brief flare-up in military tensions between the U.S. and Iran. However, the emergence and spread of Covid-19 fed increasing investor uncertainty and by early March, the novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The closure of large sectors of national economies on a global scale sparked a dramatic sell-off in financial markets. Yields on developed market sovereign bonds fell sharply and prices for commodity gold spiked. By the end of the first quarter of 2020, leading developed market equity indexes had lost 20% or more of their value from the start of the year. Corporate bond prices fell and the price of crude oil ended the first quarter down by 60%.
Leading central banks promptly responded with lower interest rates and/or asset purchasing programs, which helped to support asset price stability and head off a potential liquidity crunch in credit markets. Governments also responded with a range of fiscal stimulus or paycheck protection programs designed to cushion the economic impact of the pandemic. In the ensuing months, global equity markets staged a slow and uneven rebound, led by U.S. and emerging markets.
At the start of the second half of the year, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for the S&P 500 in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being
developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.
Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 in the final week of October.
U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.
Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the re-opening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.
In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE?
The Portfolio’s Class 1 Shares underperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The Portfolio’s security selection in the industrials and information technology sectors was a leading detractor from performance relative to the Benchmark, while
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
2 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
the Portfolio’s security selection in the utilities sector and its overweight position and security selection in the energy sector were leading contributors to relative performance.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Portfolio’s underweight positions in Teladoc Health Inc. and Plug Power Inc., and its overweight position in Tivity Health Inc. Shares of Teladoc Health, a provider of online health care services, rose amid increased consumer demand for its services during the pandemic. Shares of Plug Power, a developer of hydrogen fuel cell systems that was not held in the Portfolio, rose after reporting better-than-expected results for the third quarter amid increased industry adoption of fuel cell technology. Shares of Tivity Health, a provider of weight loss and fitness products, fell after a run-up in the stock price early in the period.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Immunomedics Inc., Owens & Minor Inc. and Stamps.com Inc. Shares of Immunomedics, a drug development company, rose ahead of its $21 billion acquisition by Gilead Sciences Inc. Shares of Owens & Minor, a surgical products manufacturer, rose after the company raised its earnings forecast for the full year 2020. Shares of Stamps.com, an internet provider of postal services, rose after the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected earnings and revenue.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED?
In accordance with its investment process, the portfolio managers take limited sector bets and construct the Portfolio so that stock selection is typically the primary driver of its relative performance versus the Benchmark. The portfolio managers employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, using quantitative screening and the adviser’s proprietary analysis to construct a portfolio of companies that the portfolio managers believe are attractively valued and possess strong momentum. During the reporting period, the Portfolio was managed and positioned in accordance with this investment process.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE (12/31/10 TO 12/31/20)

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class 1 Shares of the JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core Portfolio and the Russell 2000 Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Portfolio assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the Russell 2000 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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.
Portfolio performance does not reflect any charges imposed by the Policies or Eligible Plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower than shown. Portfolio performance may reflect the waiver of the Portfolio’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower.
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, 2020
1. Organization
JPMorgan Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and is a Massachusetts business trust.
The following is a separate portfolio of the Trust (the “Portfolio”) covered by this report:
| | | | |
| | Classes Offered | | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core Portfolio | | Class 1 and Class 2 | | Diversified |
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek capital growth over the long term.
Portfolio shares are offered only to separate accounts of participating insurance companies and Eligible Plans. Individuals may not purchase shares directly from the Portfolio.
All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency fees and distribution fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and administrative services plan.
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 Portfolio.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The Portfolio is an investment company and, accordingly, follows 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 Portfolio’s 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.
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Portfolio’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Portfolio. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Portfolio’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and/or unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s 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. |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
18 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
• | | Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Portfolio’s 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 table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”) (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

B. Securities Lending — The Portfolio is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Portfolio is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of 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 Portfolio). Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Portfolio also receives 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 Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Portfolio bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is 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 Portfolio may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
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 Portfolio from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Portfolio to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Portfolio’s investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):
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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).
C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Portfolio invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Portfolio may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Portfolio assumes the issuers listed in the table below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchase cost amounts in the table below. Amounts in the table below are in thousands.

(b) | The rate shown is the current yield as of December 31, 2020. |
* | Amount is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net) (after payments of rebates and Citibank’s fee). |
D. Futures Contracts — The Portfolio used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement 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 Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The use of futures contracts exposes the Portfolio to equity price risk. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Portfolio to unlimited risk of loss. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s 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.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
20 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
The Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s futures contracts activity during the year ended December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
Futures Contracts — Equity: | | | | |
Average Notional Balance Long | | $ | 2,613 | |
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 the Portfolio first learns of the dividend.
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Portfolio records 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 Portfolio adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its 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 the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio, while the expenses attributable to more than one portfolio of the Trust are allocated among the applicable portfolios. 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 Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | | Class 2 | | | Total | |
Transfer agency fees | | $ | 4 | | | $ | 1 | | | $ | 5 | |
G. Federal Income Taxes — The Portfolio is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Portfolio’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. The Portfolio is also a segregated portfolio of assets for insurance purposes and intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter L of the Code. Management has reviewed the Portfolio’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2020, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s 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. The Portfolio’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 at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Paid-in-Capital | | Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | | Accumulated net realized gains (losses) | |
| | $— | | $ | 629 | | | $ | (629 | ) |
The reclassifications for the Portfolio relate primarily to investments in passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”).
I. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Portfolio’s financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.

The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.E.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Portfolio’s shares.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class 2 Shares of the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class 1 Shares of the Portfolio do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that the Portfolio shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class 2 Shares.
D. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Portfolio. For performing these services, the Portfolio pays 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 Portfolio for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
E. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser (for all share classes), Administrator (for all share classes) and/or JPMDS (for Class 2 Shares) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Portfolio (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 Portfolio’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | | Class 2 | |
| | | 1.03 | % | | | 1.28 | % |
The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least April 30, 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio’s service providers did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Portfolio.
Additionally, the Portfolio may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 Portfolio’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Portfolio to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $7,000.
F. 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 Portfolio for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Portfolio, along with affiliated portfolios, 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 Statement 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.

The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of wash sale loss deferrals.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.
6. Borrowings
The Portfolio relies 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’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 Portfolio because the Portfolio 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).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
The Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the year ended December 31, 2020.
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 Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’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 November 1, 2021.
The Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 portfolio must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a portfolio does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the portfolio must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing portfolio at a rate of interest equal to 1.00%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating portfolios pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.
The Portfolio did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Portfolio. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had three individual shareholder and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts, which owned 65.9% of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares.
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Portfolio’s performance and liquidity.
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 Portfolio’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Portfolio to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Portfolio to losses.
The Portfolio invests 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. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Portfolio’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of the Portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

24 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
The Portfolio is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Portfolio’s investments, increase the Portfolio’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Portfolio and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Portfolio’s operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Portfolio invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on the Portfolio’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.
8. Subsequent Event
On February 10, 2021, the contractual expense limitations for Class 1 Shares and Class 2 Shares were extended until at least April 30, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Insurance Trust and Shareholders of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Small Cap Core Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting JPMorgan Insurance Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees (for Class 2 Shares) and other Portfolio expenses. Because the Portfolio is a funding vehicle for Policies and Eligible Plans, you may also incur sales charges and other fees relating to the Policies or Eligible Plans. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio, but not the costs of the Policies or Eligible Plans, 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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of the Portfolio in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Portfolio 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 or the costs associated with the Policies and Eligible Plans through which the Portfolio is held. 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 AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2020, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Portfolio received from the Adviser. This information includes the Portfolio’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Portfolio’s performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management 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”). Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement 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 Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement 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 the 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 Portfolio throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, personnel changes, if any, and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Portfolio by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio and the infrastructure supporting the team, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Portfolio during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Portfolio and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.
The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Portfolio gained from their experience as Trustees of the
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
32 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Portfolio, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Portfolio.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Portfolio.
The Trustees also considered that the Adviser earns fees from the Portfolio for providing administration services. 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, an affiliate of the Adviser, which also acts as the Portfolio’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Portfolio, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser(although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio’s 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.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Portfolio and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints. , but noted that the Portfolio has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow the Portfolio’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from its inception and that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio, including Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Portfolio at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that the Portfolio’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Portfolio.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited) (continued)
Independent Written Evaluation of the Portfolio’s Chief Compliance Officer
The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Portfolio had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, ETFs and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Portfolio. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Portfolio in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Portfolio in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Portfolio within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Portfolio’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to a representative class to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Portfolio’s
performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Portfolio at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. 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 the Portfolio’s performance are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s performance for Class 1 shares was in the second quintile, based upon the Peer Group, for each of the one-, three and five-year period ended December 2019, and in the third, second and third quintiles, based upon the Universe, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Portfolio with the Adviser and based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Portfolio, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Portfolio’s advisory fees and expense ratios are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s net advisory fee and actual total expenses for Class 1 shares were both in the second quintile based upon 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 Portfolio.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
The immense efforts of central banks, government and researchers in the public and private sectors appear to have shepherded the world through the most difficult days of a profound crisis caused by the pandemic. While the economic and health care challenges are not behind us, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.
| | |
 | | “We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.” — Andrea L. Lisher |
The development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 toward the end of 2020 provided hope that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. That optimism spread to global financial markets. While leading equity indexes fell by 20% or more in the first quarter of 2020, financial markets stabilized and equity markets largely rebounded — slowly at first and then rapidly the second half of the year. At the end of 2020, the S&P 500 Index had generated a total return of 18.10% for the full 12 months and 22.16% for the final six months of the year.
We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the
direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.
Certainly, enormous challenges remain in both the implementation of global vaccinations and in the rebuilding of economies at the local, national and international levels. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to better navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.
On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.
Sincerely yours,

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***
The JPMorgan Insurance Trust U.S. Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
Global financial markets generally recovered from a sharp sell-off in the first quarter of 2020, led by a rally in equity markets in the second half of the year. Investor demand for equity was largely fueled by continued support from central banks, relief spending by governments across the globe and the development and approvals of the first vaccines against Covid-19.
In the first days of January 2020, financial markets largely shrugged off a brief flare-up in military tensions between the U.S. and Iran. However, the emergence and spread of Covid-19 fed increasing investor uncertainty and by early March, the novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The closure of large sectors of national economies on a global scale sparked a dramatic sell-off in financial markets. Yields on developed market sovereign bonds fell sharply and prices for commodity gold spiked. By the end of the first quarter of 2020, leading developed market equity indexes had lost 20% or more of their value from the start of the year. Corporate bond prices fell and the price of crude oil ended the first quarter down by 60%.
Leading central banks promptly responded with lower interest rates and/or asset purchasing programs, which helped to support asset price stability and head off a potential liquidity crunch in credit markets. Governments also responded with a range of fiscal stimulus or paycheck protection programs designed to cushion the economic impact of the pandemic. In the ensuing months, global equity markets staged a slow and uneven rebound, led by U.S. and emerging markets.
At the start of the second half of the year, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for the S&P 500 in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations
at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.
Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 in the final week of October.
U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.
Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the re-opening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.
In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE?
The Portfolio’s Class 1 Shares outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Benchmark”) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The Portfolio’s security selection and overweight position in the semiconductors & hardware sector and its underweight position and security selection in the big banks & brokers sector were leading contributors to performance relative to the Benchmark,
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
2 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
while the Portfolio’s security selection in the consumer cyclical and retail sectors was a leading detractor from relative performance.
Leading individual contributors to relative performance included the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Tesla Inc. and Morgan Stanley, and its underweight position in Intel Corp. Shares of Tesla, a producer of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, rose after the company was added to the S&P 500 Index. Shares of Morgan Stanley, a financial services and investment company, rose after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the third quarter of 2020. Shares of Intel, a semiconductor manufacturer not held in the Fund, fell after news reports that large technology companies would develop their own semiconductors rather than buy them from Intel and other sources.
Leading individual detractors from relative performance included the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., Boston Scientific Corp. and Analog Devices Inc. Shares of Royal Caribbean Cruises, a cruise ship operator, fell as its business shut down in response to the pandemic. Shares of Boston Scientific, a medical devices manufacturer, fell after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings for the first quarter of 2020 and reported consecutive quarters of lower-than-expected revenue. Shares of Analog Devices, a maker of specialty semiconductors and software, underperformed the broader market after a run-up in the stock price early in the period.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED?
The portfolio managers employed a bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, researching companies to determine what the portfolio managers believed to each company’s underlying value and potential for future earnings growth. As a result of the Portfolio’s bottom-up fundamental approach to stock selection, the Portfolio’s largest overweight positions relative to the Benchmark were in the regional banks and media sectors and its largest underweight positions were in the big banks & brokers and the financial services sectors.

TEN YEAR PERFORMANCE (12/31/10 TO 12/31/20)

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class 1 Shares of the JPMorgan Insurance Trust U.S. Equity Portfolio and the S&P 500 Index from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Portfolio assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses 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.
Portfolio performance does not reflect any charges imposed by the Policies or Eligible Plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower than shown. Portfolio performance may reflect the waiver of the Portfolio’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower.
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, 2020
1. Organization
JPMorgan Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and is a Massachusetts business trust.
The following is a separate portfolio of the Trust (the “Portfolio”) covered by this report:
| | | | |
| | Classes Offered | | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Insurance Trust U.S. Equity Portfolio | | Class 1 and Class 2 | | Diversified |
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek to provide high total return from a portfolio of selected equity securities.
Portfolio shares are offered only to separate accounts of participating insurance companies and Eligible Plans. Individuals may not purchase shares directly from the Portfolio.
All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency fees and distribution fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and administrative services plan.
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 Portfolio.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The Portfolio is an investment company and, accordingly, follows 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 Portfolio’s 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.
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Portfolio’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Portfolio. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s 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 table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”) (amounts in thousands):

B. Securities Lending — The Portfolio is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Portfolio is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of 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 Portfolio). Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Portfolio also receives 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 Statement 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Portfolio bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is 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 Portfolio may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Portfolio from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Portfolio to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Portfolio’s investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):
(a) | 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).
The Portfolio did not have any securities out on loan at December 31, 2020.
C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Portfolio invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Portfolio may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Portfolio assumes the issuers listed in the table below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchase cost amounts in the table below. Amounts in the table below are in thousands.

* | Amount is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net) (after payments of rebates and Citibank’s fee). |
D. Futures Contracts — The Portfolio used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement 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 Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The use of futures contracts exposes the Portfolio to equity price risk. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Portfolio to unlimited risk of loss. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s futures contracts activity during the year ended December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands):
| | | | |
Futures Contracts—Equity: | | | | |
Average Notional Balance Long | | $ | 630 | |
Ending Notional Balance Long | | | 375 | |
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 the Portfolio first learns of the dividend.
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Portfolio records 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 Portfolio adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its 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 the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio, while the expenses attributable to more than one portfolio of the Trust are allocated among the applicable portfolios. 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 Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | | Class 2 | | | Total | |
Transfer agency fees | | $ | 2 | | | $ | – | (a) | | $ | 2 | |
(a) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
G. Federal Income Taxes — The Portfolio is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Portfolio’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. The Portfolio is also a segregated portfolio of assets for insurance purposes and intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter L of the Code. Management has reviewed the Portfolio’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2020, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s 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. The Portfolio’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 at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Paid-in-Capital | | | Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | | Accumulated net realized gains (losses) | |
| | $ | — | | | $ | (4 | ) | | $ | 4 | |
The reclassifications for the Portfolio relate primarily to investments in real estate investment trusts.
I. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) — Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Portfolio’s financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of the Portfolio and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.55% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.E.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the effective rate was 0.075% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.E.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Portfolio’s shares.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class 2 Shares of the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class 1 Shares of the Portfolio do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that the Portfolio shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class 2 Shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
D. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Portfolio. For performing these services, the Portfolio pays 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 Portfolio for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
E. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser (for all share classes), Administrator (for all share classes) and/or JPMDS (for Class 2 Shares) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Portfolio (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 Portfolio’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | Class 2 | |
| | 0.80% | | | 1.05 | % |
The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least April 30, 2021.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio’s service providers did not waive fees and/or reimburse expenses for the Portfolio.
Additionally, the Portfolio may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 Portfolio’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Portfolio to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $2,000.
F. 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 Portfolio for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Portfolio, along with affiliated portfolios, 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 Statement 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.
4. Investment Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2020, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases (excluding U.S. Government) | | | Sales (excluding U.S. Government) | |
| | $ | 77,236 | | | $ | 82,047 | |
During the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
18 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
5. Federal Income Tax Matters
For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at December 31, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Aggregate Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
| | $ | 84,985 | | | $ | 54,501 | | | $ | 281 | | | $ | 54,220 | |
The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to non-taxable dividends and wash sale loss deferrals.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2020 was as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Ordinary Income* | | | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
| | $ | 1,507 | | | $ | 6,829 | | | $ | 8,336 | |
* | Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for income tax purposes. |
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2019 was as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Ordinary Income* | | | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
| | $ | 2,476 | | | $ | 6,171 | | | $ | 8,647 | |
* | Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for income tax purposes. |
As of December 31, 2020, the estimated components of net assets (excluding paid-in-capital) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Current Distributable Ordinary Income | | | Current Distributable Long-Term Capital Gain (Tax Basis Capital Loss Carryover) | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
| | $ | 3,506 | | | $ | 4,125 | | | $ | 54,220 | |
The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of non-taxable dividends and wash sale loss deferrals.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.
6. Borrowings
The Portfolio relies 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’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 Portfolio because the Portfolio 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 Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the year ended December 31, 2020.
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 Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’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 November 1, 2021.
The Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 portfolio must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
DECEMBER 31, 2020 | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | | | | | | | 19 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
borrowings are outstanding. If a portfolio does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the portfolio must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing portfolio at a rate of interest equal to 1.00%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating portfolios pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.
The Portfolio did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Portfolio. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had three individual shareholder and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts, which owned 64.6% of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares.
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Portfolio’s performance and liquidity.
Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds’ original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Portfolio to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Certain derivatives also expose the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Portfolio 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. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Portfolio’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of the Portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.
The Portfolio is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Portfolio’s investments, increase the Portfolio’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Portfolio and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Portfolio’s operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Portfolio invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on the Portfolio’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.
8. Subsequent Event
On February 10, 2021, the contractual expense limitations for Class 1 Shares and Class 2 Shares were extended until at least April 30, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Insurance Trust and Shareholders of JPMorgan Insurance Trust U.S. Equity Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Insurance Trust U.S. Equity Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting JPMorgan Insurance Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees (for Class 2 Shares) and other Portfolio expenses. Because the Portfolio is a funding vehicle for Policies and Eligible Plans, you may also incur sales charges and other fees relating to the Policies or Eligible Plans. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio, but not the costs of the Policies or Eligible Plans, 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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of the Portfolio in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Portfolio 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 or the costs associated with the Policies and Eligible Plans through which the Portfolio is held. 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 AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2020, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). In accordance with SEC guidance, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted through video conference. At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds. Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Portfolio received from the Adviser. This information includes the Portfolio’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Portfolio’s performance. In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent management 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”). Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement 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 Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement 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 the 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 Portfolio throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, personnel changes, if any, and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Portfolio by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio and the infrastructure supporting the team, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Portfolio during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Portfolio and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.
The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Portfolio gained from their experience as Trustees of the
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
DECEMBER 31, 2020 | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | | | | | | | 27 |
J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Portfolio, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Portfolio.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Portfolio.
The Trustees also considered that the Adviser earns fees from the Portfolio for providing administration services. 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, an affiliate of the Adviser, which also acts as the Portfolio’s distributor and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Portfolio, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Portfolio. 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 Portfolio’s 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.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Portfolio and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Portfolio has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow the Portfolio’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from its inception and that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio, including Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Portfolio at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that the Portfolio’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Portfolio.

28 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
Independent Written Evaluation of the Portfolio’s Chief Compliance Officer
The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Portfolio had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, ETFs and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Portfolio. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Portfolio in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Portfolio in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Portfolio within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three- and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Portfolio’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to a representative class to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Portfolio’s
performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Portfolio at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. 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 the Portfolio’s performance are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s performance for Class 1 shares was in the second quintile, based upon both the Peer Group and the Universe, for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Portfolio with the Adviser and based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Portfolio, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Portfolio’s advisory fees and expense ratios are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s net advisory fee for Class 1 shares was in the third quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class 1 shares were in the third and fourth quintiles based upon 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 Portfolio.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
The immense efforts of central banks, government and researchers in the public and private sectors appear to have shepherded the world through the most difficult days of a profound crisis caused by the pandemic. While the economic and health care challenges are not behind us, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.
| | |
 | | “We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.” — Andrea L. Lisher |
The development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 toward the end of 2020 provided hope that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. That optimism spread to global financial markets. While leading equity indexes fell by 20% or more in the first quarter of 2020, financial markets stabilized and equity markets largely rebounded — slowly at first and then rapidly the second half of the year. At the end of 2020, the S&P 500 Index had generated a total return of 18.10% for the full 12 months and 22.16% for the final six months of the year.
We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the
direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.
Certainly, enormous challenges remain in both the implementation of global vaccinations and in the rebuilding of economies at the local, national and international levels. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to better navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.
On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.
Sincerely yours,

Andrea L. Lisher

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Insurance Trust Income Builder Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
Global financial markets generally recovered from a sharp sell-off in the first quarter of 2020, led by a rally in equity markets in the second half of the year. Investor demand for equity was largely fueled by continued support from central banks, relief spending by governments across the globe and the development and approvals of the first vaccines against Covid-19.
In the first days of January 2020, financial markets largely shrugged off a brief flare-up in military tensions between the U.S. and Iran. However, the emergence and spread of Covid-19 fed increasing investor uncertainty and by early March, the novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The closure of large sectors of national economies on a global scale sparked a dramatic sell-off in financial markets. Yields on developed market sovereign bonds fell sharply and prices for commodity gold spiked. By the end of the first quarter of 2020, leading developed market equity indexes had lost 20% or more of their value from the start of the year. Corporate bond prices fell and the price of crude oil ended the first quarter down by 60%.
Leading central banks promptly responded with lower interest rates and/or asset purchasing programs, which helped to support asset price stability and head off a potential liquidity crunch in credit markets. Governments also responded with a range of fiscal stimulus or paycheck protection programs designed to cushion the economic impact of the pandemic. In the ensuing months, global equity markets staged a slow and uneven rebound, led by U.S. and emerging markets.
At the start of the second half of the year, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for S&P 500 in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing $2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest
rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.
Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 in the final week of October.
U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.
Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the re-opening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.
In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.
WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE?
The Portfolio’s Class 2 Shares underperformed both the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”)
| | | | | | |
| | | |
2 | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
and the Income Builder Composite Benchmark (the “Composite”), which is made up of 60% MSCI World Index and 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.
The Portfolio’s allocation real estate investment trusts detracted from performance relative to the Benchmark. The Portfolio’s allocation to fixed income also detracted from performance relative to the Benchmark, which is an all-equity index.
Relative to the Composite, the Portfolio’s allocations to global equity and investment grade corporate bonds contributed to relative performance, as those asset classes performed strongly toward the end of the year following the approvals of the first vaccines against Covid-19 and continued fiscal support from governments.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED?
During the reporting period, the Portfolio was positioned to tactically pursue income. During the first half of the reporting period, the Portfolio’s portfolio managers reduced the Portfolio’s overall equity allocation and increased the Portfolio’s overall duration through the use of government bond futures. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a bond or a portfolio of bonds to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, bonds with longer duration will experience a larger increase or decrease in price as interest rates fall or rise, respectively, versus bonds with shorter duration. Following supportive policy actions from leading central banks in 2020, the portfolio managers increased the Portfolio’s allocation to equity and maintained the Portfolio’s credit allocations. The portfolio managers also added equity-linked notes and increased the Portfolio’s allocation to investment grade corporate bonds.

LIFE OF PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE (12/9/14 TO 12/31/20)

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
The Portfolio commenced operations on December 9, 2014.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class 2 Shares of the JPMorgan Insurance Trust Income Builder Portfolio, the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and the Income Builder Composite Benchmark from December 9, 2014 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Portfolio assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and the Income Builder Composite Benchmark do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund and have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The MSCI World 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. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index that represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. The Income Builder Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indices that includes the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (40%). Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Portfolio performance does not reflect any charges imposed by the Policies or Eligible Plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower than shown. Portfolio performance may reflect the waiver of the Portfolio’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. 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, 2020
1. Organization
JPMorgan Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and is a Massachusetts business trust.
The following is a separate portfolio of the Trust (the “Portfolio”) covered by this report:
| | | | |
| | Classes Offered | | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Insurance Trust Income Builder Portfolio | | Class 1 and Class 2 | | Diversified |
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek to maximize income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
Portfolio shares are offered only to separate accounts of participating insurance companies and Eligible Plans. Individuals may not purchase shares directly from the Portfolio.
All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency fees and distribution fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and administrative services plan.
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 Portfolio.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The Portfolio is an investment company and, accordingly, follows 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 Portfolio’s 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.
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Portfolio’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Portfolio. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Portfolio’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and/or unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. 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 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 Portfolio are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments, as well as certain derivatives with foreign equity reference obligations, are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post-closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated.
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
40 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.
See the table on “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements” for information on the valuation techniques and inputs used to value level 3 securities held by the Portfolio at December 31, 2020.
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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s 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 table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”) (amounts in thousands):

The changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at December 31, 2020, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) amounted to approximately $(49,000). This amount is included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
There were no significant transfers into or out of level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Portfolio’s investments are listed below. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for lack of marketability, liquidity discount, probability of default, yield and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the discount rate or prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
# | The table above does not include certain Level 3 investments that are valued by brokers and Pricing Services. At December 31, 2020, the value of these investments was approximately $381,000. The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2.A. |
(a) | Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments. |
(b) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
(c) | Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account such multiples when pricing the investments. |
B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Portfolio under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. Loan Assignments — The Portfolio invested in debt instruments that are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates (a “Lender”) by corporate, governmental or other borrowers (a “Borrower”). A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “Agent”) that acts as Agent for all holders. The Agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Portfolio invests in loan assignments of all or a portion of the loans. When the Portfolio purchases a loan assignment, the Portfolio has direct rights against the Borrower on a loan, provided, however, the Portfolio’s rights may be more limited than the Lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Portfolio may be able to enforce its rights only through the Agent. As a result, the Portfolio assumes the credit risk of the Borrower as well as any other persons interpositioned between the Portfolio and the Borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). The Portfolio may incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on a loan assignment or suffer a loss of principal and/or interest if assets or interests held by the Agent or other Intermediate Participants are determined to be subject to the claims of the Agent’s or other Intermediate Participant’s creditors. In addition, it is unclear whether loan assignments and other forms of direct indebtedness offer securities law protections against fraud and misrepresentation. Also, because JPMIM may wish to invest in publicly traded securities of a Borrower, it may not have access to material non-public information regarding the Borrower to which other investors have access. Although certain loan assignments are secured by collateral, the Portfolio could experience delays or limitations in realizing the value on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the Borrower.
Loan assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for assignments and certain assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid and they may be difficult to value. In addition, the settlement period for loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Therefore, the Portfolio may not receive the proceeds from a sale of such investments for a period after the sale.
Certain loan assignments are also subject to the risks associated with high yield securities described under Note 7.
D. When-Issued Securities, Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments — The Portfolio purchased when-issued securities, including To Be Announced (“TBA”) securities, and entered into contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price that may be settled a month or more after the trade date, or purchased delayed delivery securities which generally settle seven days after the trade date. When-issued securities are securities that have been authorized, but not issued in the market. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date that may be settled a month or more after the trade date. A delayed delivery security is agreed upon in advance between the buyer and the seller of the security and is generally delivered beyond seven days of the agreed upon date. The purchase of securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. The sale of securities on a forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. The Portfolio may be exposed to credit risk if the counterparty fails to perform under the terms of the transaction. Interest income for securities purchased on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis is not accrued until the settlement date.
E. Securities Lending — The Portfolio is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Portfolio is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of 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 Portfolio). Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Portfolio also receives 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 Statement of Operations.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
44 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Portfolio bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is 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 Portfolio may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands).

| | $ | 1,313 | | | $ | (1,313 | ) | | $ | — | |
* | 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 Portfolio from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Portfolio to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Portfolio’s investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):
(a) | 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).

G. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Portfolio 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 Portfolio does 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 Statement 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 the Portfolio’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 Statement 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 Statement of Operations.
H. Futures Contracts — The Portfolio used currency, index, treasury or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to gain or reduce exposure to particular countries or regions. The Portfolio also used futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.
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 Portfolio is 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 Portfolio periodically and are based on changes
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
46 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
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 Statement 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 Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The use of futures contracts exposes the Portfolio to equity price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Portfolio to unlimited risk of loss. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s derivatives contracts held at December 31, 2020 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.
J. Equity-Linked Notes — The Portfolio 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, based on values provided by an approved pricing source. These notes have a coupon which is accrued and recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations. Changes in the market value of ELNs are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statement of Operations. The Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had outstanding ELNs as listed on the SOI.
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 is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Portfolio first learns of the dividend. The Portfolio may receive other income from investment in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Portfolio. These amounts are included in Interest income from non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Portfolio records 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 Portfolio adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its 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 the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio, while the expenses attributable to more than one portfolio of the Trust are allocated among the applicable portfolios. 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 Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | Class 2 | | | Total | |
Transfer agency fees | | $—(a) | | $ | 15 | | | $ | 15 | |
(a) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
The Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statement of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.E.
M. Federal Income Taxes — The Portfolio is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Portfolio’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. The Portfolio is also a segregated portfolio of assets for insurance purposes and intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter L of the Code. Management has reviewed the Portfolio’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2020, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s 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. The Portfolio’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
N. Foreign Taxes — The Portfolio may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Portfolio will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Portfolio records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
48 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
O. 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 at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Paid-in-Capital | | | Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | | Accumulated net realized gains (losses) | |
| | $ | (38 | ) | | $ | 54 | | | $ | (16 | ) |
The reclassifications for the Portfolio relate primarily to investments in passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”).
P. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Portfolio’s financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of the Portfolio and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.42% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.E.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the effective rate was 0.075% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.E.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Portfolio’s shares.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class 2 Shares of the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class 1 Shares of the Portfolio do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that the Portfolio shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class 2 Shares.
D. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Portfolio. For performing these services, the Portfolio pays 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 Portfolio for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
E. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser (for all share classes), Administrator (for all share classes) and/or JPMDS (for Class 2 Shares) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Portfolio (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Portfolio’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | Class 2 | |
| | 0.60% | | | 0.85 | %�� |
The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least April 30, 2021.
The Underlying Funds may impose separate advisory fees. The Adviser has agreed to voluntarily waive the Portfolio’s investment advisory fees in the weighted average pro-rata amount of the advisory fees charged by the affiliated Underlying Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Adviser waived approximately $38,000. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Portfolio’s contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Portfolio’s advisory fee.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Portfolio as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Portfolio to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Contractual Waivers | | | | |
| | Investment Advisory Fees | | | Administration Fees | | | Total | | | Contractual Reimbursements | |
| | $ | 65 | | | $ | 67 | | | $ | 132 | | | $ | 171 | |
Additionally, the Portfolio may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 Portfolio’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Portfolio to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $9,000.
F. 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 Portfolio for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Portfolio, along with affiliated portfolios, 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 Statement 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.
4. Investment Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2020, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases (excluding U.S. Government) | | | Sales (excluding U.S. Government) | | | Purchases of U.S. Government | | | Sales of U.S. Government | |
| | $ | 62,952 | | | $ | 55,007 | | | $ | 376 | | | $ | 478 | |
5. Federal Income Tax Matters
For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at December 31, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Aggregate Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
| | $ | 94,073 | | | $ | 8,160 | | | $ | 1,998 | | | $ | 6,162 | |
The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to callable bonds, investments in perpetual bonds, mark to market of futures contracts, wash sale loss deferrals and investments in PFICs.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |

| | $ | 2,908 | | | $ | 187 | | | $ | 6,180 | |
The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of investments in perpetual bonds, investments in PFICs, callable bonds, mark to market of futures contracts and wash sale loss deferrals.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Loss Utilized | |
| | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | |
| | $ | 36 | | | $ | 159 | |
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.
6. Borrowings
The Portfolio relies 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’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 Portfolio because the Portfolio 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 Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the year ended December 31, 2020.
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 Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’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 November 1, 2021.
The Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 portfolio must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a portfolio does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the portfolio must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
DECEMBER 31, 2020 | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | | | | | | | 51 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing portfolio at a rate of interest equal to 1.00%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating portfolios pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.
The Portfolio did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Portfolio. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had four individual shareholder and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts, which owned 79.5% of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares.
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Portfolio’s performance and liquidity.
The Portfolio is subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage-related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Portfolio could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The Portfolio invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these investments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate investments may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. The Portfolio may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Portfolio’s yield (and total return) also may be low or the Portfolio may be unable to maintain positive returns. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value of a Portfolio’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality.
Investing in securities of foreign countries may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and currencies, and future and adverse political, social and economic developments.
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 Portfolio’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Portfolio to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Portfolio to losses.
Because of the Portfolio’s investments in the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio indirectly pays a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds. As a result, the cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Portfolio is also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ 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.
In addition, the Underlying Funds 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 are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.
The Portfolio invests in preferred securities. These securities are typically issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest bearing notes with preferred security characteristics and may include provisions that permit the issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a certain period of 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. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
52 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Portfolio’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of the Portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.
The Portfolio is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Portfolio’s investments, increase the Portfolio’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Portfolio and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Portfolio’s operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Portfolio invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on the Portfolio’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.
8. Subsequent Event
On February 10, 2021, the contractual expense limitations for Class 1 Shares and Class 2 Shares were extended until at least April 30, 2022.

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Insurance Trust and Shareholders of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Income Builder Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Income Builder Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting JPMorgan Insurance Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, agent banks and broker. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees (for Class 2 Shares) and other Portfolio expenses. Because the Portfolio is a funding vehicle for Policies and Eligible Plans, you may also incur sales charges and other fees relating to the Policies or Eligible Plans. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio, but not the costs of the Policies or Eligible Plans, 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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of the Portfolio in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Portfolio 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 or the costs associated with the Policies and Eligible Plans through which the Portfolio is held. 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 AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2020, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). 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 Portfolio and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which the Portfolio may invest (“Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Portfolio and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Portfolio’s and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Portfolio’s and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Portfolio’s and 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 provided by an independent management 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 Portfolio 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 independent consultant also provided additional analysis of the performance of certain Underlying Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreement. Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement 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 Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement 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 the 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 Portfolio and Underlying Funds throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, personnel changes, if any, and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Portfolio by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio and the infrastructure supporting the team, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser’s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Portfolio during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Portfolio and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
60 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Portfolio and Underlying Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Portfolio and Underlying Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Portfolio and Underlying Funds.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Portfolio.
The Trustees also considered that the Adviser earns fees from the Portfolio and Underlying Funds for providing administration services. 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, an affiliate of the Adviser, which also acts as the Portfolio’s distributor, and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Portfolio, including financial intermediaries that are affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services for the Portfolio and/or Underlying Funds.
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 Portfolio. 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 Portfolio’s 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.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Portfolio and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Portfolio has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allow the Portfolio’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from its inception and that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio, including Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Portfolio at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that the Portfolio’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Portfolio.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (continued)
Independent Written Evaluation of the Portfolio’s Chief Compliance Officer
The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Portfolio had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, ETFs and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Portfolio. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Portfolio in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Portfolio in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Portfolio within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three-and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Portfolio’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to a representative class to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Portfolio’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Portfolio at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. 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 the Portfolio’s performance are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s performance for Class 2 shares was in the fifth quintile based upon both the Peer Group and the Universe for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2019. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Portfolio with the Adviser and based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances. They requested however, that the Portfolio’s Adviser provide additional Portfolio performance information to be reviewed with the members of the Board’s money market and alternative products committee at each of its regularly scheduled meetings over the course of the next year.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place for the Portfolio, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Portfolio’s advisory fees and expense ratios are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s net advisory fee for Class 2 shares was in the first quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class 2 shares were in the first and second quintiles based upon 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 Portfolio and that such fee would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory agreements of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
February 4, 2021 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
The immense efforts of central banks, government and researchers in the public and private sectors appear to have shepherded the world through the most difficult days of a profound crisis caused by the pandemic. While the economic and health care challenges are not behind us, the uncertainty and turbulence of 2020 has abated.
| | |
 | | “We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.” — Andrea L. Lisher |
The development of multiple vaccines against Covid-19 toward the end of 2020 provided hope that the pandemic would be halted and that economic and social activity could begin to resume in the year ahead. That optimism spread to global financial markets. While leading equity indexes fell by 20% or more in the first quarter of 2020, financial markets stabilized and equity markets largely rebounded — slowly at first and then rapidly the second half of the year. At the end of 2020, the S&P 500 Index had generated a total return of 18.10% for the full 12 months and 22.16% for the final six months of the year.
We believe the clear lesson is that investors who remained fully invested over the past year, in the face of uncertainty over the
direction of the pandemic and the unprecedented responses to it, were likely rewarded for their resolve.
Certainly, enormous challenges remain in both the implementation of global vaccinations and in the rebuilding of economies at the local, national and international levels. However, the advances in the fight against Covid-19 provide policymakers and investors with the opportunity to plan for the future and meet those challenges. J.P. Morgan Asset Management has thrived amid the many challenges presented by the pandemic. Moreover, our deep experience in risk management enabled us to better navigate increased volatility in global financial markets. Throughout 2020, we continued to seek to operate under the same fundamental practices and principles that have driven our success for more than a century with an unwavering focus on putting our clients at the center of everything we do.
On behalf of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, thank you for entrusting us to manage your investment. Should you have any questions, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or contact the J.P. Morgan Funds Service Center at 1-800-480-4111.
Sincerely yours,

Andrea L. Lisher

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**
The JPMorgan Insurance Trust Global Allocation Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize long-term total return.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
Global financial markets generally recovered from a sharp sell-off in the first quarter of 2020, led by a rally in equity markets in the second half of the year. Investor demand for equity was largely fueled by continued support from central banks, relief spending by governments across the globe and the development and approvals of the first vaccines against Covid-19.
In the first days of January 2020, financial markets largely shrugged off a brief flare-up in military tensions between the U.S. and Iran. However, the emergence and spread of Covid-19 fed increasing investor uncertainty and by early March, the novel coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The closure of large sectors of national economies on a global scale sparked a dramatic sell-off in financial markets across the globe. Yields on developed market sovereign bonds fell sharply and prices for commodity gold spiked. By the end of the first quarter of 2020, leading developed market equity indexes had lost 20% or more of their value from the start of the year. Corporate bond prices generally fell and the price of crude oil ended the first quarter down by 60%.
Leading central banks promptly responded with lower interest rates and/or asset purchasing programs, which helped to support asset price stability and head off a potential liquidity crunch in credit markets. Governments also responded with a range of fiscal stimulus or paycheck protection programs designed to cushion the economic impact of the pandemic. In the ensuing months, global equity markets staged a slow and uneven rebound, led by U.S. and emerging markets.
At the start of the second half of the year, U.S. equity led a broad rebound in both developed markets and emerging markets equity. Leading U.S. equity indexes rose in July and August 2020, punctuated by five consecutive record high closings for S&P 500 in late August — a stretch not seen since 2017. Notably, Apple Inc. issued a 4-for-1 stock split in August and became the first publicly listed company with a valuation surpassing
$2 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) signaled its continued support for asset purchases and low benchmark interest rates. While the spread of Covid-19 accelerated in the U.S., multiple candidate vaccines were being developed around the world and the number of hospitalizations at the end of the summer was relatively small compared with what was to come at the end of the year.
Equity prices across the globe largely declined over September and October 2020. Re-closings across Asia and Europe in response to Covid-19 dented investor optimism. The inability of the U.S. Congress to adopt further spending for pandemic relief put acute pressure on the S&P 500 in the final week of October.
U.S. equity prices began to rebound in November and by mid-month the S&P 500 reached a closing high and crossed 3,600 points for the first time amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the first Covid-19 vaccines. While the results of the U.S. presidential election were contested, President-elect Joe Biden’s early cabinet choices — including former Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen — removed some investor uncertainty. The Fed kept interest rates and policies unchanged and Congressional negotiations over proposed relief and stimulus spending continued through the month.
Globally, equity markets maintained upward momentum through the end of December, largely driven by investor expectations that mass vaccinations and the re-opening of economies would unleash pent up demand from consumers, businesses and governments. Notably, emerging markets equity outperformed developed markets equity, including U.S. equity in the second half of 2020 as China, Taiwan and South Korea appeared to have greater success in containing the pandemic.
In the U.S., growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks but the difference narrowed somewhat during the period as share price valuations rose. Additionally, shares of select companies that had seen their stock prices plummet in the first half of 2020 benefitted from increased investor appetite for bargains in the second half of the year. At year’s end, the largest 10 companies in the S&P 500 made up 27.4% of the index’s value, compared with 22.7% at the end of 2019 and 21.0% at the end of 2018.

WHAT WERE THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE PORTFOLIO’S PERFORMANCE?
The Portfolio’s Class 2 Shares underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (the “Benchmark”) and outperformed the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark (the “Composite”), which consists of 60% MSCI All Country World Index and 40% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.
The Portfolio’s allocation to fixed income securities, particularly global developed markets government bonds, detracted from performance relative to the Benchmark, which is an all-equity index.
Relative to the Composite, the Portfolio’s allocations to global equity and investment grade corporate bonds contributed to relative performance as both asset classes performed strongly toward the end of the year amid the approvals for the first Covid-19 vaccines and continued fiscal support from governments.
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED?
During the reporting period, the Portfolio was positioned to maximize total return while managing risk. Early in 2020, the portfolio managers sought to lower the risk profile of the Portfolio by increasing its overall government bond duration by one year and reducing allocations to both U.S. high yield bonds and overall equity. In the second half of March 2020, as the Fed took steps to support the corporate bond market, the portfolio managers added investment grade corporate bonds and increased the Portfolio’s allocation to U.S. high yield bonds. In the final months of the reporting period, the portfolio managers increased the Portfolio’s allocation to emerging markets equity and maintain their position in credit.

LIFE OF PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE (12/9/14 TO 12/31/20)

The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Mutual funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For up-to-date month-end performance information please call 1-800-480-4111.
The Portfolio commenced operations on December 9, 2014.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in Class 2 Shares of the JPMorgan Insurance Trust Global Allocation Portfolio, the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index — Unhedged USD and the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark from December 9, 2014 to December 31, 2020. The performance of the Portfolio assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes), Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index — Unhedged USD and Global Allocation Composite Benchmark do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund and have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The MSCI World 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. The MSCI All Country World 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 and emerging markets. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed income markets. Since November 30, 2020, the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark is a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indices that includes the MSCI All Country World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (40%). Prior to November 30, 2020, the Global Allocation Composite Benchmark was a composite benchmark comprised of unmanaged indices that included the MSCI World Index (net of foreign withholding taxes) (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (40%). Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Portfolio performance does not reflect any charges imposed by the Policies or Eligible Plans. If these charges were included, the returns would be lower than shown. Portfolio performance may reflect the waiver of the Portfolio’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower.
International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the United States can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020
1. Organization
JPMorgan Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and is a Massachusetts business trust.
The following is a separate portfolio of the Trust (the “Portfolio”) covered by this report:
| | | | |
| | Classes Offered | | Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Insurance Trust Global Allocation Portfolio | | Class 1 and Class 2 | | Diversified |
The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek to maximize long-term total return.
Portfolio shares are offered only to separate accounts of participating insurance companies and Eligible Plans. Individuals may not purchase shares directly from the Portfolio.
All classes of shares have equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different transfer agency fees and distribution fees and each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan and administrative services plan.
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 Portfolio.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements. The Portfolio is an investment company and, accordingly, follows 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 Portfolio’s 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.
The Administrator has established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments. The Administrator implements the valuation policies of the Portfolio’s investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Portfolio. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
A market-based approach is primarily used to value the Portfolio’s investments. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued by approved affiliated and/or unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”) or may be internally fair valued using methods set forth by the valuation policies approved by the Board. 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 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 Portfolio are calculated on a valuation date. Certain foreign equity instruments, as well as certain derivatives with foreign equity reference obligations, are valued by applying international fair value factors provided by approved Pricing Services. The factors seek to adjust the local closing price for movements of local markets post-closing, but prior to the time the NAVs are calculated.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
34 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Futures contracts and options are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing market quotations from approved Pricing Services.
See the table on “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements” for information on the valuation techniques and inputs used to value level 3 securities held by the Portfolio at December 31, 2020.
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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s 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 table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments (“SOI”) (amounts in thousands):

The changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to securities owned at December 31, 2020, which were valued using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) amounted to approximately $(29,000). This amount is included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments in non-affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
There were no significant transfers into or out of level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Portfolio’s investments are listed below. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for lack of marketability, liquidity discount, probability of default, yield and default rate may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. A significant change in the discount rate or prepayment rate (Constant Prepayment Rate or PSA Prepayment Model) may decrease or increase the fair value measurement.

B. Restricted Securities — Certain securities held by the Portfolio 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 Portfolio.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Portfolio under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. Securities Lending — The Portfolio is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Portfolio is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio retains loan fees and the interest on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of 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 Portfolio). Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Portfolio also receives 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 Statement of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Portfolio bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is 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 Portfolio may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio as of December 31, 2020 (amounts in thousands).

| | $ | 693 | | | $ | (693 | ) | | $ | — | |
* | 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 Portfolio from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived investment advisory fees charged to the Portfolio to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.15% to 0.06%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Portfolio’s investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows (amounts in thousands):
(a) | 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 Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).
D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates — The Portfolio invested in Underlying Funds which are advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Portfolio may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Portfolio assumes the issuers listed in the table below to be affiliated issuers. Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchase cost amounts in the table below. Amounts in the table below are in thousands.

(c) | Amount rounds to less than one thousand. |
* | Amount is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net) (after payments of rebates and Citibank’s fee). |
E. Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Portfolio 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 Portfolio does 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 Statement 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 the Portfolio’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 Statement 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 Statement of Operations.
F. Derivatives — The Portfolio used derivative instruments including options, futures contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with its investment strategy. Derivative instruments may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio can invest, to hedge portfolio investments or to generate income or gains to the Portfolio. Derivatives may also be used to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposures and credit and spread volatility.
The Portfolio may be subject to various risks from the use of derivatives, including the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index; counterparty credit risk related to derivatives counterparties’ failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the potential lack of a liquid market for these contracts allowing the Portfolio to close out its position(s); and documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. Investing in certain derivatives also results in a form of leverage and as such, the Portfolio’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed its value, as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Portfolio is party to various derivative contracts governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (“ISDA agreements”). The Portfolio’s ISDA agreements, which are separately negotiated with each dealer counterparty, may contain provisions allowing, absent other considerations, a counterparty to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against the Portfolio in the event the Portfolio’s net assets decline over time by a pre-determined percentage or fall below a pre-determined floor. The ISDA agreements may also contain provisions allowing, absent other conditions, the Portfolio to exercise rights, to the extent not otherwise waived, against a counterparty (e.g., decline in a counterparty’s credit rating below a specified level). Such rights for both a counterparty and the Portfolio often include the ability to terminate (i.e., close out) open contracts at prices which may favor a counterparty, which could have an adverse effect on the Portfolio. The ISDA agreements give the Portfolio and a counterparty the right, upon an event of default, to close out all transactions traded under such agreements and to net amounts owed or due across all transactions and offset such net payable or receivable against collateral posted to a segregated account by one party for the benefit of the other.
Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent a counterparty posts additional collateral for mark to market gains to the Portfolio.
Notes F(1) — F(3) below describe the various derivatives used by the Portfolio.
(1). Options — The Portfolio purchased and/or sold (“wrote”) put and call options on various instruments including currencies, futures, securities and interest rate swaps (“swaptions”) to manage and hedge interest rate risks within its portfolio and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instrument, index, currency or rate. A purchaser of a put option has the right, but not the obligation, to sell the underlying instrument at an agreed upon price (“strike price”) to the option seller. A purchaser of a call option has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying instrument at the strike price from the option seller. Swaptions and Eurodollar options are settled for cash.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
Options Purchased — Premiums paid by the Portfolio for options purchased are included on the Statement 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 Statement of Operations. If the option is allowed to expire, the Portfolio will lose the entire premium it paid and record a realized loss for the premium amount. Premiums paid for options purchased which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) or cost basis of the underlying investment.
Options Written — Premiums received by the Portfolio for options written are included on the Statement 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 is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on options written on the Statement of Operations. Premiums received from options written that expire are treated as realized gains. If a written option is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss on options written based on whether the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received. If a call option is exercised by the option buyer, the premium received by the Portfolio is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security to the option buyer and compared to the cost of the closing transaction to determine whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised by an option buyer, the premium received by the option seller reduces the cost basis of the purchased security.
Written uncovered call options subject the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.
The Portfolio is not subject to credit risk on options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.
The Portfolio’s exchange-traded option contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
(2). Futures Contracts — The Portfolio used index, treasury or other financial futures contracts to manage and hedge interest rate risk associated with portfolio investments and to gain or reduce exposure to the stock and bond markets. The Portfolio also used futures contracts to lengthen or shorten the duration of the overall investment portfolio.
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 Portfolio is 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 Portfolio 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 Statement 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 Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The use of futures contracts exposes the Portfolio to equity price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Portfolio to unlimited risk of loss. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s 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 Portfolio’s futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
(3). Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Portfolio is exposed to foreign currency risks associated with some or all of the portfolio investments and used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge or manage certain of these exposures as part of the investment strategy. The Portfolio also bought forward foreign currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts represent obligations to purchase or sell foreign currency on a specified future date at a price fixed at the time the contracts are entered into. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without the delivery of the foreign currency.
The values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted daily based on the applicable exchange rate of the underlying currency. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. When the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Portfolio also records a realized gain or loss, upon settlement, when a forward foreign currency exchange contract offsets another forward foreign currency exchange contract with the same counterparty.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
40 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
The Portfolio’s forward foreign currency exchange contracts are subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
The Portfolio may be required to post or receive collateral for non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

The Portfolio’s derivatives contracts held at December 31, 2020 are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.
G. Short Sales — The Portfolio engaged in short sales as part of its normal investment activities. In a short sale, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio borrows securities from a broker. To close out a short position, the Portfolio delivers the same securities to the broker.
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio’s custodian for the benefit of the broker is recorded as Restricted cash for securities sold short on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities segregated as collateral are denoted on the SOI. The Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations.
The Portfolio 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 Statement of Operations as Dividend expense on securities sold short. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement 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 Portfolio is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms.
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio replaces the borrowed security. The Portfolio will record a realized gain if the price of the borrowed security declines between those dates.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had outstanding short sales as listed on the SOI.
H. Security Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, dividend expense on securities sold short and distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Portfolio first learns of the dividend.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
42 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
I. Allocation of Income and Expenses — Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged directly to the Portfolio, while the expenses attributable to more than one portfolio of the Trust are allocated among the applicable portfolios. 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 Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | | Class 2 | | | Total | |
Transfer agency fees | | $ | 1 | | | $ | 11 | | | $ | 12 | |
The Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds and, as a result, bear a portion of the expenses incurred by these Underlying Funds. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown on the Statement of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights. Certain expenses of affiliated Underlying Funds are waived as described in Note 3.E.
J. Federal Income Taxes — The Portfolio is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Portfolio’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. The Portfolio is also a segregated portfolio of assets for insurance purposes and intends to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter L of the Code. Management has reviewed the Portfolio’s tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of December 31, 2020, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s 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. The Portfolio’s Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
K. Foreign Taxes — The Portfolio may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency purchases/repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Portfolio will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. When a capital gains tax is determined to apply, the Portfolio records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.
L. Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually and are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Paid-in-Capital | | | Accumulated undistributed (distributions in excess of) net investment income | | | Accumulated net realized gains (losses) | |
| | $ | (1 | ) | | $ | (804 | ) | | $ | 805 | |
The reclassifications for the Portfolio relate primarily to foreign currency gains or losses.
M. Recent Accounting Pronouncement — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, to the Portfolio’s financial statements of applying ASU 2020-04.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee — Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of the Portfolio and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.55% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Adviser waived investment advisory fees and/or reimbursed expenses as outlined in Note 3.E.
B. Administration Fee — Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025%

| | | | | |
DECEMBER 31, 2020 | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | | | | | | | 43 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.01% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the effective rate was 0.075% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.E.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Portfolio’s 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 the Portfolio’s principal underwriter and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Portfolio’s shares.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class 2 Shares of the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class 1 Shares of the Portfolio do not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provides that the Portfolio shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class 2 Shares.
D. Custodian and Accounting Fees — JPMCB provides portfolio custody and accounting services to the Portfolio. For performing these services, the Portfolio pays 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 Portfolio for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
E. Waivers and Reimbursements — The Adviser (for all share classes), Administrator (for all share classes) and/or JPMDS (for Class 2 Shares) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that total annual operating expenses of the Portfolio (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 Portfolio’s respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Class 1 | | | Class 2 | |
| | | 0.78 | %�� | | | 1.03 | % |
The expense limitation agreement was in effect for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the contractual expense limitation percentages in the table above are in place until at least April 30, 2021.
The Underlying Funds may impose separate advisory fees. The Adviser has agreed to voluntarily waive the Portfolio’s investment advisory fees in the weighted average pro-rata amount of the advisory fees charged by the affiliated Underlying Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Adviser waived approximately $106,000. These waivers may be in addition to any waivers required to meet the Portfolio’s contractual expense limitations, but will not exceed the Portfolio’s advisory fee.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio’s service providers waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for the Portfolio as follows (amounts in thousands). None of these parties expect the Portfolio to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.

| | $9 | | $ | 76 | | | $ | 85 | | | $ | 102 | |
Additionally, the Portfolio may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS 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 Portfolio’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral. None of these parties expect the Portfolio to repay any such waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses in future years.
The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $13,000.
F. 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 Portfolio for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Portfolio pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Portfolio, along with affiliated portfolios, 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 Statement 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.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.
4. Investment Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2020, purchases and sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases (excluding U.S. Government) | | | Sales (excluding U.S. Government) | | | Purchases of U.S. Government | | | Sales of U.S. Government | | | Securities Sold Short | | | Covers on Securities Sold Short | |
| | $ | 110,184 | | | $ | 98,423 | | | $ | 1,985 | | | $ | 2,522 | | | $ | 9,600 | | | $ | 9,185 | |
5. Federal Income Tax Matters
For Federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at December 31, 2020 were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Aggregate Cost | | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
| | $ | 98,586 | | | $ | 22,317 | | | $ | 881 | | | $ | 21,436 | |
* | The tax cost includes the proceeds from short sales which may result in a net negative cost. |
The difference between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributed to mark to market of forward foreign currency contracts, mark to market of futures contracts and wash sale loss deferrals.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2020 was as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Ordinary Income* | | | Net Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
| | $ | 2,144 | | | $ | 519 | | | $ | 2,663 | |
* | Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for income tax purposes. |
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2019 was as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | Ordinary Income* | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
| | $ | 1,905 | | | $ | 1,905 | |
* | Short-term gain distributions are treated as ordinary income for income tax purposes. |
As of December 31, 2020, the estimated components of net assets (excluding paid-in-capital) on a tax basis were as follows (amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Current Distributable Ordinary Income | | | Current Distributable Long-Term Capital Gain (Tax Basis Capital Loss Carryover) | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
| | $ | 3,943 | | | $ | 2,263 | | | $ | 19,515 | |
The cumulative timing differences primarily consist of mark to market of forward foreign currency contracts, mark to market of futures contracts, straddle loss deferrals and wash sale loss deferrals.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio did not have any net capital loss carryforwards.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2020 (continued)
6. Borrowings
The Portfolio relies 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 Portfolio 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 the Portfolio’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 Portfolio because the Portfolio 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 Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from another fund during the year ended December 31, 2020.
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 Portfolio. 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 the Portfolio’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 November 1, 2021.
The Portfolio had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has 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 portfolio must have a minimum of $25,000,000 in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a portfolio does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the portfolio must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25,000,000 minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing portfolio at a rate of interest equal to 1.00%, which has increased to 1.25% pursuant to the amendment referenced below, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or one month LIBOR. The annual commitment fee to maintain the Credit Facility is 0.15% and is incurred on the unused portion of the Credit Facility and is allocated to all participating portfolios pro rata based on their respective net assets. Effective August 11, 2020, this agreement has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended, and to include the change to the interest rate charged for borrowing from the Credit Facility to 1.25%, as noted above, and an upfront fee of 0.075% of the Credit Facility to be charged and paid by all participating funds of the Credit Facility.
The Portfolio did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2020.
7. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Portfolio. However, based on experience, the Portfolio expects the risk of loss to be remote.
As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio had four individual shareholder and/or non-affiliated omnibus accounts, which owned 90.7% of the Portfolio’s outstanding shares.
Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Portfolio’s performance and liquidity.
The Portfolio is subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage-related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, including securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
The Portfolio is subject to interest rate and credit risk. The value of debt securities may decline as interest rates increase. The Portfolio could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable to pay interest or repay principal when it is due. The Portfolio invests in floating rate loans and other floating rate debt securities. Although these investments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate loans and other floating rate investments may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. The Portfolio may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Portfolio’s yield (and total return) also may be low or the Portfolio may be unable to maintain positive returns. The ability of the issuers of debt to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific industry or region. The value of a Portfolio’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality.
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
46 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
Investing in securities of foreign countries may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and currencies, and future and adverse political, social and economic developments.
As of December 31, 2020, a significant portion of the Portfolio’s investments consisted of securities that were denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities.
Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Portfolio’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Portfolio to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Portfolio 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 Portfolio to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Portfolio to losses.
The Portfolio is also subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty fails to perform on agreements with the Portfolio such as option contracts and forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
Because of the Portfolio’s investments in the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio indirectly pays a portion of the expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds. As a result, the cost of investing in the Portfolio may be higher than the cost of investing in a mutual fund that invests directly in individual securities and financial instruments. The Portfolio is also subject to certain risks related to the Underlying Funds’ 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.
In addition, the Underlying Funds 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 are disclosed within their individual financial statements and registration statements, as appropriate.
LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. The regulatory authority that oversees financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K. has announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions for purposes of determining the LIBOR rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, LIBOR may no longer be available or no longer deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on or impacting certain loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Portfolio’s portfolio. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, which may affect the value or liquidity or return on certain investments of the Portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.
The Portfolio is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world. The effects of this COVID-19 pandemic to public health, and business and market conditions, including exchange trading suspensions and closures may continue to have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Portfolio’s investments, increase the Portfolio’s volatility, exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Portfolio and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. The Portfolio’s operations may be interrupted as a result, which may have a significant negative impact on investment performance. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations may take actions in response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Portfolio invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could also have a significant negative impact on the Portfolio’s investment performance. The full impact of this COVID-19 pandemic, or other future epidemics/pandemics, is currently unknown.
8. Subsequent Event
On February 10, 2021, the contractual expense limitations for Class 1 Shares and Class 2 Shares were extended until at least April 30, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Insurance Trust and Shareholders of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Global Allocation Portfolio
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of portfolio investments, of JPMorgan Insurance Trust Global Allocation Portfolio (one of the portfolios constituting JPMorgan Insurance Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Portfolio”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolio as of December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolio in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, administration fees, distribution fees (for Class 2 Shares) and other Portfolio expenses. Because the Portfolio is a funding vehicle for Policies and Eligible Plans, you may also incur sales charges and other fees relating to the Policies or Eligible Plans. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio, but not the costs of the Policies or Eligible Plans, 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, 2020, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
For each Class of the Portfolio in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of each Class under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Class’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Class of the Portfolio 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 or the costs associated with the Policies and Eligible Plans through which the Portfolio is held. 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 AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board of Trustees has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making. The Board of Trustees and its investment committees (money market and alternative products, equity, and fixed income) meet regularly throughout the year and consider factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of investment advisory agreements at each meeting. They also meet for the specific purpose of considering investment advisory agreement annual renewals. The Board of Trustees held meetings in June and August 2020, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Portfolio whose annual report is contained herein (the “Advisory Agreement”). 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 Portfolio and the other J.P. Morgan Funds overseen by the Board in which the Portfolio may invest (“Underlying Funds”). Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered the investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the Advisory Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on August 11, 2020.
As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Portfolio and Underlying Funds received from the Adviser. This information includes the Portfolio’s and Underlying Funds’ performance as compared to the performance of the Portfolio’s and Underlying Funds’ peers and benchmarks and analyses by the Adviser of the Portfolio’s and 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 provided by an independent management 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 Portfolio 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 independent consultant also provided additional analysis of the performance of certain Underlying Funds in connection with the Trustees’ review of the Advisory Agreement. Before voting on the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Advisory Agreement 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 Agreement. The Trustees also discussed the Advisory Agreement 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 the 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 Portfolio and Underlying Funds throughout the year, including additional reporting and information provided in connection with the market volatility caused by 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable under the circumstances and determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, personnel changes, if any, and the expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Portfolio by, investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio and the infrastructure supporting the team, including personnel changes, if any. In addition, the Board considered its discussions with the Adviser regarding the Adviser��s business continuity plan and steps the Adviser was taking to provide ongoing services to the Portfolio during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Adviser’s success in continuing to provide services to the Portfolio and their shareholders throughout this period. The Trustees also considered information provided by the Adviser and JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (“JPMDS”) about the structure and distribution strategy of the Portfolio. The Trustees reviewed information relating to the Adviser’s risk governance model and reports showing the Adviser’s compliance structure and ongoing compliance processes. The Trustees also considered the quality of
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
54 | | | | | | | | JPMORGAN INSURANCE TRUST | | DECEMBER 31, 2020 |
the administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as administrator.
The Trustees also considered their knowledge of the nature and quality of services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the Portfolio and Underlying Funds gained from their experience as Trustees of the J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, they considered the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates, the commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Portfolio and Underlying Funds, their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity and the Adviser’s responsiveness to questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Portfolio and Underlying Funds.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Portfolio by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses. Based upon their review, and taking into consideration the factors noted above, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Portfolio.
The Trustees also considered that the Adviser earns fees from the Portfolio and Underlying Funds for providing administration services. 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, an affiliate of the Adviser, which also acts as the Portfolio’s distributor, and that these fees are in turn generally paid to financial intermediaries that sell the Portfolio, including financial intermediaries that are
affiliates of the Adviser (although they are retained by JPMDS in certain instances). The Trustees also considered the fees paid to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”) for custody and fund accounting and other related services for the Portfolio and/or Underlying Funds.
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 Portfolio. 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 Portfolio’s 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.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio may benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees considered that there may not be a direct relationship between economies of scale realized by the Portfolio and those realized by the Adviser as assets increase. The Trustees considered the extent to which the Portfolio was priced to scale and whether it would be appropriate to add advisory fee breakpoints, but noted that the Portfolio has implemented fee waivers and contractual expense limitations (“Fee Caps”) which allows the Portfolio’s shareholders to share potential economies of scale from its inception and that the fees remain satisfactory relative to peer funds. The Trustees considered the benefits to the Portfolio 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 Portfolio. The Trustees further considered the Adviser’s and JPMDS’s ongoing investments in their business in support of the Portfolio, 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 the Portfolio, including Fee Caps that the Adviser has in place that serve to limit the overall net expense ratios of the Portfolio at competitive levels, was reasonable. The Trustees concluded that the Portfolio’s shareholders received the benefits of potential economies of scale through the Fee Caps and the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Portfolio and its shareholders. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Portfolio.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited) (continued)
Independent Written Evaluation of the Portfolio’s Chief Compliance Officer
The Trustees noted that, upon their direction, the Chief Compliance Officer for the Portfolio had prepared an independent written evaluation in order to assist the Trustees in determining the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Trustees considered the written evaluation in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreement.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of investment advisory services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, ETFs and/or funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Portfolio. The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered mutual funds relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the regulatory, legal and other risks and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients. The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered mutual fund involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Portfolio. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the mutual fund, pays the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Portfolio in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees received and considered absolute and/or relative performance information for the Portfolio in a report prepared by Broadridge. The Trustees considered the total return performance information, which included the ranking of the Portfolio within a performance universe made up of funds with the same Broadridge investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”), by total return for the applicable one-, three-and five-year periods. The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting mutual funds in the Portfolio’s Universe and Peer Group and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Broadridge materials provided to the Trustees highlighted information with respect to a representative class to assist the Trustees in their review. As part of this review, the Trustees also reviewed the Portfolio’s performance against its benchmark and considered the performance information provided for the Portfolio at regular Board meetings by the Adviser. 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 the Portfolio’s performance are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s performance for Class 2 shares was in the fifth, second and first quintiles, based upon the Peer Group, and in the fourth, third and second quintiles, based upon the Universe, for the one-,three- and five year periods ended December 31, 2019, respectively. The Trustees discussed the performance and investment strategy of the Portfolio with the Adviser and based upon this discussion and various other factors, concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was satisfactory under the circumstances. They requested however, that the Portfolio’s Adviser provide additional Portfolio performance information to be reviewed with the members of the Board’s money market and alternative products committee at each of its regularly scheduled meetings over the course of the next year.
Advisory Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual advisory fee rate and administration fee rate paid by the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio. The Trustees recognized that Broadridge reported the Portfolio’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 the Portfolio and noted that Universe and Peer Group rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Groups did not meet a predetermined minimum. The Trustees considered the Fee Caps currently in place, for the Portfolio, the net advisory fee rate after taking into account any waivers and/or reimbursements, and, where deemed appropriate by the Trustees, additional waivers and/or reimbursements. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds. The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Portfolio’s advisory fees and expense ratios are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Portfolio’s net advisory fee for Class 2 shares was in the second quintile based upon both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses for Class 2 shares were in the fourth and fifth quintiles based upon 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 Portfolio and that such fee would be for services provided in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided under the advisory agreements of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests.

(3) If the registrant provides the disclosure required by paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this Item, it must explain why it does not have an audit committee financial expert.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
(a) Disclose, under the caption Audit Fees, the aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.

2020 – $333,907
2019 – $345,852
(b) Disclose, under the caption Audit-Related Fees, the aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item.

2020 – Not applicable
2019 – Not applicable
(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
“Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.
(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
2020 – 0.0%
2019 – 0.0%
(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
