Morgan Series Trust or J.P. Morgan Mutual Fund Select Trust (“Predecessor Funds”) prior to February 18, 2005.

The Funds (other than the California Tax Free Bond Fund, the National Municipal Income Fund, the New York Tax Free Bond Fund and Ultra-Short Municipal Fund) are series of JPMorgan Trust II (“JPMT II”), an open-end, management investment company formed as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 12, 2004, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 5, 2004, as subsequently amended. The Funds were formerly series of One Group Mutual Funds, a Massachusetts business trust which was formed on May 23, 1985.

The Fund is a series of JPMorgan Trust IV (“JPMT IV”), an open-end, management investment company formed as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 12, 2015, pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 12, 2015, as subsequently amended. In addition to the Fund, the Trust consists of other series representing separate investment funds (each a “J.P. Morgan Fund”).

Fund Names.

Prior to September 15, 2020, the JPMorgan Sustainable Municipal Income Fund was named the JPMorgan Municipal Income Fund.

Prior to November 1, 2018, the JPMorgan High Yield Municipal Fund was named the JPMorgan Tax Aware High Income Fund.

Prior to February 19, 2005, certain of the Municipal Bond Funds had the following names listed below corresponding to their current names:

Former One Group Name	Current Name
One Group Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund	JPMorgan Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
One Group Tax-Free Bond Fund	JPMorgan Tax Free Bond Fund

J.P. Morgan Series Trust (“JPMST”)
JPMorgan California Tax Free Bond Fund

J.P. Morgan Mutual Fund Select Trust (“JPMMFST”)
JPMorgan National Municipal Income Fund
JPMorgan New York Tax Free Bond Fund

Shareholders of each of the Predecessor Funds approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Redomiciliation (“Shell Reorganization Agreements”) between the Predecessor Trusts, on behalf of the Predecessor Funds, and JPMMFS, on behalf of its series. Pursuant to the Shell Reorganization Agreements, the Predecessor Funds were reorganized into the corresponding series of JPMMFS effective

Part I - 1

after the close of business on February 18, 2005 (“Closing Date”). With respect to events that occurred or payments that were made prior to the Closing Date, any reference to Fund(s) in this SAI prior to the Closing Date refers to the Predecessor Funds.

On January 20, 2005, shareholders of JPMMFS approved the redomiciliation of JPMMFS as a Delaware statutory trust to be called “JPMorgan Trust I” (“Redomiciliation”). The Redomiciliation took place after the close of business on the Closing Date, at which time each Fund became a series of JPMorgan Trust I. The Redomiciliation was effective after each of the reorganizations pursuant to the Shell Reorganization Agreements.

JPMST. Prior to February 19, 2005, the California Tax Free Bond Fund was a series of JPMST, an open-end management investment company which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 15, 1996.

JPMMFST. Prior to February 19, 2005, the National Municipal Income Fund and the New York Tax Free Bond Fund were series of JPMMFST, an open-end management investment company which was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on October 1, 1996.

After the close of business on February 18, 2005, the JPMorgan National Municipal Income Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of One Group Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 22, 2004 between JPMMFST, on behalf of JPMorgan Intermediate Tax Free Income Fund, and One Group Mutual Funds, on behalf of One Group Intermediate Tax-Free Bond Fund (“Merger Agreement”). Following the merger, the terms of which were set forth in the Merger Agreement, the JPMorgan Intermediate Tax Free Income adopted the name “JPMorgan Intermediate Tax Free Bond Fund” effective February 19, 2005, which subsequently was renamed to "National Municipal Income Fund" on March 9, 2023.

JPMorgan National Municipal Income Fund	JPMorgan Intermediate Tax Free Income Fund

For ease of reference, throughout this SAI, the Board of Trustees of JPMT I, the Board of Trustees of JPMT II and the Boards of Trustees of the Predecessor Trusts are referred to herein collectively as the “Board of Trustees.”

Miscellaneous

This SAI describes the financial history, investment strategies and policies, management and operation of each of the Funds in order to enable investors to select the Fund or Funds which best suit their needs.

This SAI provides additional information with respect to the Funds and should be read in conjunction with the relevant Fund’s current Prospectuses. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings accorded to them in the applicable Prospectuses. The Funds' executive offices are located at 277 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10172.

This SAI is divided into two Parts – Part I and Part II. Part I of this SAI contains information that is particular to each Fund. Part II of this SAI contains information that generally applies to the Funds and other series representing separate investment funds or portfolios of JPMT I, JPMT II, JPMorgan Trust IV (“JPMT IV”), J.P. Morgan Mutual Fund Investment Trust (“JPMMFIT”), J.P. Morgan Fleming Mutual Fund Group, Inc. (“JPMFMFG”) and Undiscovered Managers Funds (“UMF”) (each a “J.P. Morgan Fund,” and together with the Funds, the “J.P. Morgan Funds”). Throughout this SAI, JPMT I, JPMT II, JPMT IV, JPMMFIT, JPMFMFG and UMF are each referred to as a “Trust” and collectively, as the “Trusts.” Each Trust’s Board of Trustees, or Board of Directors in the case of JPMFMFG, is referred to herein as the “Board of Trustees” and each trustee or director is referred to as a “Trustee.”

The Funds are advised by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”). Certain other of the J.P. Morgan Funds are sub-advised by J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”) or Fuller & Thaler Asset Management, Inc. (“Fuller & Thaler”). JPMIM is also referred to herein as the “Adviser.” JPMPI and Fuller & Thaler are also referred to herein as the “Sub-Advisers” and, individually, as the “Sub-Adviser.”

Investments in the Funds are not deposits or obligations of, nor guaranteed or endorsed by, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), an affiliate of the Adviser, or any other bank. Shares of the Funds are not federally insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other governmental agency. An investment in the Funds is subject to risk that may cause the value of the investment to fluctuate, and when the investment is redeemed, the value may be higher or lower than the amount originally invested by the investor.

The Adviser, with respect to each Fund, has filed a notice of eligibility with the National Futures Association (“NFA”) claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) with respect to the Fund’s operations. Therefore, each Fund and the Adviser with respect to each such Fund are not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool or CPO under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended. Changes to a Fund’s investment strategies or investments may cause the Fund to lose the benefits of this exclusion and may trigger additional CFTC requirements. If the Adviser or a Fund becomes subject to these requirements, as well as related NFA rules, the Fund may incur additional compliance and other expenses.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

The following investment policies have been adopted by the Trusts with respect to the applicable Funds. The investment restrictions listed below under the heading “Fundamental Investment Policies” are “fundamental” policies which, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), may not be changed without the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund, as such term is defined in “Additional Information” in Part II of this SAI. All other investment policies of a Fund (including its investment objectives) are non-fundamental, unless otherwise designated in the Prospectuses or herein, and may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval.

Except for the restrictions on borrowings set forth below, the percentage limitations contained in the policies below apply at the time of purchase of the securities. If a percentage or rating restriction on investment or use of assets set forth in a fundamental investment policy or a non-fundamental investment policy or in a Prospectus is adhered to at the time of investment, later changes in percentage resulting from any cause other than actions by the Fund will not be considered a violation. If the value of the Fund’s holdings of illiquid securities at any time exceeds the percentage limitation applicable at the time of acquisition due to subsequent fluctuations in value or other reasons, the Fund’s Adviser will consider what actions, if any, are appropriate to maintain adequate liquidity. With respect to each fundamental investment policy regarding borrowing, the 1940 Act generally limits a Fund’s ability to borrow money on a non-temporary basis if such borrowings constitute “senior securities.” As noted in “Investment Strategies and Policies — Miscellaneous Investment Strategies and Risks — Borrowings” in the SAI Part II, in addition to temporary borrowing, a Fund may borrow from any bank, provided that immediately after any such

Part I - 3

borrowing there is an asset coverage of at least 300% for all borrowings by a Fund and provided further, that in the event that such asset coverage shall at any time fall below 300%, a Fund shall, within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) thereafter or such longer period as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) may prescribe by rules and regulations, reduce the amount of its borrowings to such an extent that the asset coverage of such borrowing shall be at least 300%.

For purposes of the Ultra-Short Municipal Fund’s fundamental investment policy regarding industry concentration, “to concentrate” generally means to invest more than 25% of a Fund’s total assets, taken at market value at the time of investment. This fundamental investment policy regarding industry concentration does not apply to securities issued by other investment companies, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, any state or territory of the U.S., its agencies, instrumentalities, or political subdivisions, or repurchase agreements secured thereby.

For purposes of fundamental investment policies regarding industry concentration, the Adviser may classify issuers by industry in accordance with classifications set forth in the Directory of Companies Filing Annual Reports with the SEC or other sources. In the absence of such classification or if the Adviser determines in good faith based on its own information that the economic characteristics affecting a particular issuer make it more appropriate to be considered engaged in a different industry, the Adviser may classify an issuer accordingly. Accordingly, the composition of an industry or group of industries may change from time to time.

With respect to Ultra-Short Municipal Fund, for purposes of fundamental investment policies involving industry concentration, “group of industries” means a group of related industries, as determined in good faith by the Adviser, based on published classifications or other sources. With respect to investments by the Fund in an underlying fund in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex (i) that has a name suggesting it focuses its investments in a particular industry and a disclosed policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in that industry, the Fund will deem 80% of its investment in the Fund to be invested in that industry or (ii) that does not have a disclosed 80% policy to invest in a particular industry but has a disclosed fundamental policy to concentrate its investments in a particular industry, the Fund will deem 25% of its investment in the fund to be invested in that industry; provided this approach is deemed by the Fund to be consistent with guidance from the SEC or its staff.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS AND POLICIES OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE SERIES OF JPMT I

Fundamental Investment Policies.

(1) (a) The California Tax Free Bond Fund may not purchase any security which would cause the Fund to concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in any particular industry except as permitted by the SEC;

(b) The National Municipal Income Fund and the New York Tax Free Bond Fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or repurchase agreements secured thereby) if, as a result, more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Fund’s permissible futures and options transactions in U.S. government securities, positions in options and futures shall not be subject to this restriction. Industrial development bonds, where the payment of principal and interest is the ultimate responsibility of companies within the same industry, are grouped together as an “industry.” However, it is not applicable to investments by a Fund in municipal obligations where the issuer is regarded as a state, city, municipality or other public authority since such entities are not members of an “industry.” Supranational organizations are collectively considered to be members of any “industry”;

(c) The High Yield Municipal Fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in securities of one or more issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry, except as permitted by the SEC. This restriction does not apply to investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or repurchase agreements secured thereby, and futures and options transactions issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities;

For purposes of this restriction, collateral arrangements with respect to a Fund’s permissible options and futures transactions, including deposits of initial and variation margin, are not considered to be the issuance of a senior security;

Investments by a Fund in securities backed by mortgages on real estate or in marketable securities of companies engaged in such activities are not hereby precluded. Real estate includes Real Estate Limited Partnerships;

(c) The High Yield Municipal Fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in securities issued by companies in an industry or group of industries in the real estate sector;

(6) (a) The California Tax Free Bond Fund may not purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments issued by persons that purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts; but this shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing, selling and entering into financial futures contracts (including futures contracts on indices of securities, interest rates and currencies), options on financial futures contracts (including futures contracts on indices of securities, interest rates and currencies), warrants, swaps, forward contracts, foreign currency spot and forward contracts or other derivative instruments that are not related to physical commodities;

As a fundamental policy, the Fund normally invests at least 80% of the value of its Assets in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal and state personal income taxes for California residents and not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax on individuals. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.

The following policy applies to the High Yield Municipal Fund:

In addition, as a matter of fundamental policy, notwithstanding any other investment policy or restriction, the Fund may seek to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in another investment company having substantially the same investment objective and policies as the Fund.

The following policy applies to the New York Tax Free Bond Fund:

In addition, as a matter of fundamental policy, notwithstanding any other investment policy or restriction, each of the National Municipal Income Fund and the New York Tax Free Bond Fund may seek to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in another investment company having substantially the same investment objective and policies as the Fund.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS AND POLICIES OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE SERIES OF JPMT II

Fundamental Investment Policies.

The Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, the Tax Free Bond Fund and the Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund may not:

1. Purchase securities of any issuer if such purchase would not be consistent with the maintenance of the Fund’s status as a diversified company under the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time.

2. Purchase any securities that would cause more than 25% of the total assets of a Fund to be invested in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry, provided that this limitation does not apply to Municipal Securities or governmental guarantees of Municipal Securities, and with respect to Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, housing authority obligations. For purposes of this limitation (i) utilities will be divided according to their services (for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and telephone will each be considered a separate industry); and (ii) wholly-owned finance companies will be considered to be in the industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of their parents.

As used in these fundamental investment policies by the Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, the Tax Free Bond Fund and the Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, the term “Municipal Securities” means securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their respective authorities, political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax.

The following policy applies to Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, the Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and the Tax Free Bond Fund:

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. For purposes of this policy, the Fund’s net assets include borrowings by the Fund for investment purposes.

The following policy applies to the Sustainable Municipal Income Fund:

Under normal market circumstances, at least 80% of the assets of the Fund will be invested in Municipal Securities.

1. Make loans, except that a Fund may (i) purchase or hold debt instruments in accordance with its investment objective and policies; (ii) enter into repurchase agreements; (iii) engage in securities lending as described in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information and (iv) make loans to the extent permitted by an order issued by the SEC.

2. Purchase securities on margin or sell securities short except, in the case of the Municipal Bond Funds, for use of short-term credit necessary for clearance of purchases of portfolio securities.

3. Underwrite the securities of other issuers except to the extent that a Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter under certain securities laws in the disposition of “restricted securities.”

4. Purchase physical commodities or contracts relating to physical commodities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act, or operate as a commodity pool, in each case as interpreted or modified by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

5. Purchase participation or other direct interests in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs (although investments by all Funds in marketable securities of companies engaged in such activities are not hereby precluded).

Part I - 7

6. Borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, or the rules or regulations thereunder, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended from time to time.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS AND POLICIES OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE SERIES OF JPMT IV

Fundamental Investment Policies

The Ultra-Short Municipal Fund:

(1)

May not make any investment inconsistent with the Fund’s classification as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.

(2)

May not purchase any security which would cause the Fund to concentrate more than 25% of the Fund’s investments in the securities of issuers primarily engaged in any particular industry or group of industries, provided that this limitation does not apply to Municipal Securities where the issuer is regarded as a state, city, municipality or other public authority or to governmental guarantees of Municipal Securities or to housing authority obligations.

(3)

May not issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act or any rule, order or interpretation thereunder;

(4)

May not borrow money, except to the extent permitted by applicable law;

(5)

May not underwrite the securities of other issuers, except to the extent that the Fund, in disposing of portfolio securities, may be deemed an underwriter under certain securities laws;

(6)

May not invest directly in real estate unless it is acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction shall not prevent the Fund from investing in securities or other instruments (a) issued by companies that invest, deal or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate, or (b) backed or secured by real estate or interests in real estate;

(7)

May not purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts except as may be permitted by the 1940 Act or unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments issued by persons that purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts; but this shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing, selling and entering into financial futures contracts (including futures contracts on indices of securities, interest rates and currencies), options on financial futures contracts (including futures contracts on indices of securities, interest rates and currencies), warrants, swaps, forward contracts, foreign currency spot and forward contracts or other derivative instruments including derivatives related to physical commodities; and

(8)

May make loans to other persons, in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies and to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(9)

Under normal market circumstances, at least 80% of the assets of the Fund will be invested in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax.

Fundamental investment policy (3) shall be interpreted based upon no-action letters and other pronouncements of the staff of the SEC. Generally, the 1940 Act limits the Fund’s ability to borrow money on a non-temporary basis if such borrowings constitute “senior securities.” As noted above and in “Investment Strategies and Policies —Miscellaneous Investment Strategies and Risks — Borrowings” in SAI Part II, in addition to temporary borrowing, the Fund may borrow from any bank, provided that

Part I - 8

immediately after any such borrowing there is asset coverage of at least 300% for all borrowings by the Fund. The Fund may also borrow money if such borrowing does not constitute “senior securities” under the 1940 Act or engage in economically similar transactions if those transactions comply with the applicable requirements of the SEC under the 1940 Act.

Non-Fundamental Investment Policies. The investment policies described below are non-fundamental policies of the Fund and may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval.

The Ultra-Short Municipal Fund:

(1)

May not acquire securities of other investment companies, except as permitted by the 1940 Act or any order pursuant thereto; and

(2)

May not acquire the securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on Section 12(d)(1)(F) or 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING INVESTMENT PRACTICES

The following information is a summary of special factors that may affect any Fund invested in municipal securities from the States of California, New York and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and is derived from public official documents which generally are available to investors. The following information constitutes only a brief summary of the information in such public official documents; it has not been independently verified and does not purport to be a complete description of all considerations regarding investment in the municipal securities discussed below. Information provided herein may not be current and is subject to change rapidly, substantially and without notice. Especially with respect to Puerto Rico’s debt restructuring process, events could occur rapidly that significantly affect the value of municipal securities of Puerto Rico.

The value of the shares of the Funds discussed in this section may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a portfolio investing in securities relating to a number of different states. The ability of state, county or other local governments to meet their obligations will depend primarily on the availability of tax and other revenues to those governments and on their fiscal conditions generally.

Further, downgrades of certain municipal securities insurers during the 2007-09 recession negatively impacted the price of certain insured municipal securities. Given the large number of potential claims against municipal securities insurers, there is a risk that they will be unable to meet all future claims. Given the recent bankruptcy-type proceedings by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, risks associated with municipal securities insurers are heightened. The perceived increased likelihood of default among municipal issuers resulted in constrained liquidity, increased price volatility and credit downgrades of municipal issuers. Local and national market forces, such as declines in real estate prices and general business activity, may result in decreasing tax bases, fluctuations in interest rates, and increasing construction costs, all of which could reduce the ability of certain municipal issuers to repay their obligations. Certain municipal issuers have also been unable to obtain additional financing through, or must pay higher interest rates on, new issues, which may reduce revenues available for municipal issuers to pay existing obligations. In addition, in certain circumstances it may be difficult for investors to obtain reliable information on the obligations underlying municipal securities. Adverse developments in the municipal securities market, such as the recent bankruptcy-type proceedings by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, may negatively affect the value of all or a substantial portion of a Fund’s municipal securities.

California Municipal Securities

Under normal circumstances, the California Tax Free Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in municipal securities. For purposes of this policy, “municipal securities” has the same meaning as California Municipal Securities. California Municipal Securities are obligations of any duration (or maturity) issued by California, its political subdivisions and their agencies, authorities and instrumentalities and any other obligations, the interest from which is exempt from California personal income tax. The interest from many but not all California Municipal Securities also is exempt from federal income tax. The California Tax Free Bond Fund may also invest in debt obligations of state and municipal issuers outside of California. In general, the interest on such securities is exempt from federal income tax but subject to California income tax. A portion of the Fund’s distributions from interest on California Municipal Securities and other municipal securities in which the California Tax Free Bond Fund invests may under certain circumstances be subject to federal alternative minimum tax. See “Tax Matters.”

Additional Information Regarding California Municipal Securities

As used in this section, “municipal securities” refers to municipal securities, the interest of which is exempt from gross income for federal income tax purposes, exempt from California personal income taxes and is not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax on individuals.

Risk Factors Affecting California Municipal Securities. Given that the California Tax Free Bond Fund is invested primarily in California Municipal Securities, the Fund is subject to risks relating to the economy of the state of California (as used in this section, the “State”) and the financial condition of the State and local governments and their agencies.

Overview of State Economy. California’s economy, the largest among the 50 states, has major components in high technology, trade, entertainment, manufacturing, government, tourism, construction and services. As a result, economic problems or factors that negatively impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the value of California Municipal Securities.

Part I - 15

The State's revenues have historically been volatile and, while correlated to overall economic conditions, are also heavily dependent on revenues related to stock market appreciation. The State faces fiscal challenges including significant unfunded liabilities of the State’s two main retirement systems and post-employment health care and dental benefits for eligible retired employees of the State. From year-to-year, the State may experience a number of political, social and economic circumstances that influence its economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances may include: rising debt levels; revenue volatility; tax base erosion; developments in the U.S. and world economies; and changes to U.S. federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to the State and its municipalities.

In addition, the spread of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a strain of coronavirus (known as COVID-19), which began in early 2020, created financial and economic challenges for the State. In response to the pandemic, the State and many local governments ordered the closure of non-essential businesses and recommended or required social-distancing, instituted “shelter-in-place” policies and limited the size of gatherings. The pandemic and the related responses materially and adversely impacted the State’s economy.

It is projected that California will face an operating deficit in fiscal year 2023-24 due to an anticipated reduction in revenues, and that the State will face operating deficits in each fiscal year through 2026-27. The current economic environment, including prolonged inflation and rising interest rates, also may negatively affect the economy of the State.

There can be no assurances that the State will not face additional fiscal stress or that such circumstances will not become more difficult in the future. Moreover, there can be no guarantee that other changes in the State or national economies will not have a materially adverse impact on the State’s financial condition. Any deterioration in the State’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the value of the securities issued by the State and its municipalities, which could reduce the performance of the Fund.

In addition, the pension funds managed by the State’s principal retirement systems, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System (“CalSTRS”), face significant unfunded actuarial liabilities that will require increased contributions from the State’s General Fund (as used in this section, “General Fund”) in future years.

As of June 30, 2021, CalPERS showed an accrued unfunded liability allocable to state employees (excluding pension liabilities for judges and elected officials) of $43.6 billion (a decrease of $19.3 billion from June 30, 2020). As of June 30, 2021, CalSTRS reported an unfunded liability of its Defined Benefit Plan at $60.1 billion on an actuarial value of assets basis. The State also has significant unfunded liabilities relating to retirees’ post-employment healthcare and dental benefits. As of June 30, 2021, the State’s unfunded actuarial accrued liability for other post-employment benefits was approximately $99.53 billion.

There can be no assurance that any issuer of a California Municipal Security will make full or timely payments of principal or interest or remain solvent. However, it should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by local California issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State, and there is no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.

General Risks. Many complex political, social and economic factors influence the State’s economy and finances, which may affect the State’s budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the performance of the national and State economies; (ii) the receipt of revenues below projections; (iii) a delay in or an inability of the State to implement budget solutions as a result of current or future litigation; (iv) an inability to implement all planned expenditure reductions; (v) extreme weather events, wildfires, pandemics, drought, floods, or earthquakes; and (vi) actions taken by the federal government, including audits, disallowances, and changes in aid levels.

These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the State’s fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the State’s budget and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the State’s outstanding obligations. These factors may also lead to an increase in the State’s future borrowing costs and could impair the State’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal on its obligations. These factors may also impact the ability of California’s municipal issuers to issue new debt or service their outstanding obligations.

In addition, the State is subject to episodic water shortages owing to drought conditions. At the beginning of 2014, then-Governor Jerry Brown announced a state of emergency as a result of severe drought conditions in the State that persisted into 2017. The State Water Resources Control Board and

Part I - 16

Governor Jerry Brown took significant steps to deal with the drought. Future droughts may require the use of significant funding from the State’s budget. While the drought was one of the most severe in the State’s history and the subsequent rainfall caused damage, the drought did not impact any sectors of the State economy beyond the agricultural sector and the rainfall did not affect materially the State’s economy or budget. More recently, the Governor declared a drought emergency on April 21, 2021, and subsequently expanded the drought proclamation to cover all 58 counties in California. Current and future drought conditions are unpredictable and could have a severe impact on the State’s economy and, consequently, on State and local governmental budgets, which could affect any California municipal securities held by a Fund.

Moreover, the State is within a region subject to major seismic activity and has experienced major earthquakes in the past that caused significant damage. Although the federal government has provided aid in the aftermath of previous major earthquakes, there is no guarantee that it will do so in the future. An obligation in the Fund could be impacted by interruption in revenues as a result of damage caused by earthquakes or as a result of income tax deductions for casualty losses or property tax assessment reductions.

Over the past several years, California has experienced unprecedented wildfire activity with increases in the number and severity of wildfires. Ten of the most destructive fires have occurred since 2015, and 2020 was the worst wildfire season in the State’s history. The damage caused by past, current and future wildfires, and related economic cost caused by power outages, could have long-term negative economic effects on the State’s economy and, consequently, on State and local governmental budgets, which could affect any California municipal securities held by a Fund.

The risks of natural disasters continue to persist, and the full extent of the impact of recurring natural disasters on the State’s fiscal stability is unpredictable.

Budget for Fiscal Year 2022-23. On June 27, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed the 2022 Budget Act. The 2022 Budget Act projected total budget reserves of $22.5 billion at the end of fiscal year 2022-23, as well as a 23.3 billion balance in the State’s rainy day fund.

When the 2022 Budget Act was enacted (the “Enacted Budget”), it projected General Fund revenues and transfers of $219.7 billion for fiscal year 2022-23 (a decrease of approximately 3.2% from revised estimates for the prior fiscal year), which included estimated personal income tax receipts of $137.5 billion, sales tax receipts of $34.0 billion and corporation tax receipts of $17.3. billion. General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2022-23 were projected to be $234.4 billion (an increase of approximately 3.5% compared to the revised estimates for the prior fiscal year). The Enacted Budget contains initiatives to fund State programs. As part of these initiatives, the Enacted Budget Act included General Fund funding of $78.6 billion for K-12 education, $28.6 billion for higher education, $68 billion for health and human services expenditures, as well as $14.0 billion for corrections and rehabilitation.

Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24. On January 10, 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom proposed a budget for fiscal year 2023-24 (“Proposed Budget”). The Proposed Budget estimates that the General Fund will receive $210.2 billion in revenues and transfers, which would represent a 0.6% decrease from revised fiscal year 2022-23 estimates. Against these revenues, the Proposed Budget calls for approximately $223.6 billion in General Fund expenditures, which would be an increase of approximately 6.9% from revised fiscal year 2022-23 estimates. The Proposed Budget contains initiatives to fund State programs. As part of these initiatives, the Proposed Budget includes General Fund funding of $78.7 billion for K-12 education, $27.3 billion for higher education, $71.5 billion for health and human services expenditures, as well as $14.1 billion for corrections and rehabilitation. The Proposed Budget reflects $22.4 billion in its constitutionally-established rainy day fund, as well as an estimated $3.8 billion in operating reserves. The 2023-24 Governor’s Budget projects a $22.5 billion budget gap in fiscal year 2023-24. In response to the projected budget gap, the 2023-24 Governor’s Budget includes $13.6 billion in spending reductions, delays, and trigger restoration.

LAO Report. On January 13, 2022, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (“LAO”), a nonpartisan fiscal and policy advisor to the State, released its analysis of the Proposed Budget. In reaching its conclusions, the LAO performs an independent assessment of the outlook for California’s economy, demographics, revenues and expenditures. In the report, the LAO noted that it is projected that California will face operating deficits in fiscal years 2023-24, partially attributable to reduced revenues primarily resulting from declines in withholding and capital gains taxes, through 2026-27. The LAO noted that the deficit for fiscal year 2023-24 is manageable and, considering the LAO’s position that California presently faces a heightened risk of recession, that it generally agrees with the Governor’s proposed approach to manage the deficit primarily through spending-related solutions, which include spending delays and reductions, in lieu

Part I - 17

of using the State’s reserves to close the deficit. However, the LAO also noted that deficits in future years could be larger than those anticipated in the Governor’s proposed budget. The LAO recommended that the legislature avoid enacting budgets that plan for future operating deficits. Specifically, the LAO recommended that the California legislature consider additional spending reductions to address the deficits.

May Revision. On May 12, 2023, Governor Newsom revised the Proposed Budget (“May Revision”). The May revisions estimates an additional budget gap of $9.3 billion after transfers and adjustments. When combined with, and accounting for slight adjustments to the $22.5 billion budget gap in the Proposed Budget, the May revision estimates a $31.5 billion budget gap. The Proposed Budget under the May Revision does not exceed constitutionally mandated limits on State spending.

Limitation on Property Taxes. Certain State debt obligations may be obligations of issuers that rely in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on ad valorem property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing powers of State, local governments and districts are limited by Article XIIIA of the State Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly known as “Proposition 13.” Article XIIIA limits the rate of ad valorem property taxes to 1% of full cash value of real property and generally restricts the reassessment of property to 2% per year, except upon new construction or change of ownership (subject to a number of exemptions). Taxing entities may, however, raise ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit to pay debt service on voter-approved bonded indebtedness. Under Article XIIIA, the basic 1% ad valorem tax levy is applied against the assessed value of property as of the owner’s date of acquisition (or as of March 1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments. This system has resulted in widely varying amounts of tax on similarly situated properties. Article XIIIA prohibits local governments from raising revenues through ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit. Article XIIIA also requires voters of any governmental unit to give two-thirds approval to levy any “special tax” (i.e., a tax devoted to a specific purpose). In November 2020, voters approved an initiative measure that allows certain homeowners to transfer their tax base to a replacement residence and modified the taxation of certain inherited properties. The long-term impact of this measure on local property taxes is still unknown and could have an adverse impact on the ability of municipal issuers to satisfy their debt obligations.

Limitations on Other Taxes, Fees and Charges. On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218. Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local agencies to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Article XIIIC requires that all new or increased local taxes be submitted to the voters before they become effective. Taxes for general governmental purposes require a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes require a two-thirds vote. Article XIIID contains several provisions that make it generally more difficult for local agencies to levy and maintain “assessments” for municipal services and programs. Article XIIID also contains several provisions affecting “fees” and “charges,” defined for purposes of Article XIIID to mean “any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed by a local government upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user fee or charge for a property related service.” All new and existing property related fees and charges must conform to requirements prohibiting, among other things, fees and charges that generate revenues exceeding the funds required to provide the property related service or are used for unrelated purposes. There are notice, hearing and protest procedures for levying or increasing property related fees and charges, and, except for fees or charges for sewer, water and refuse collection services (or fees for electrical and gas service, which are not treated as “property related” for purposes of Article XIIID), no property related fee or charge may be imposed or increased without majority approval by the property owners subject to the fee or charge or, at the option of the local agency, two-thirds voter approval by the electorate residing in the affected area.

Appropriations Limits. The State and its local governments are subject to an annual “appropriations limit” imposed by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1979 and significantly amended by Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Article XIIIB prohibits the State or any covered local government from spending “appropriations subject to limitation” in excess of the appropriations limit imposed. “Appropriations subject to limitation” are authorizations to spend “proceeds of taxes,” which consist of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees, to the extent that such proceeds exceed the cost of providing the product or service, but “proceeds of taxes” exclude most State subventions to local governments. No limit is imposed on appropriations of funds that are not “proceeds of taxes,” such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds. The appropriations limit for each year is adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population, and any transfers of service responsibilities between government units. The definitions for such adjustments were liberalized in

Part I - 18

1990 to follow more closely growth in the State’s economy. “Excess” revenues are measured over a two-year cycle. Local governments must return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. The State must refund 50% of any excess, with the other 50% paid to schools and community colleges. Local governments may exceed their spending limits for up to four years by voter approval.

Because of the complex nature of Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution, the ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in their terms, the impossibility of predicting future appropriations or changes in population and cost of living and the probability of continuing legal challenges, it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of these Articles on California debt obligations or on the ability of the State or local governments to pay debt service on such California debt obligations. It is not possible, at the present time, to predict the outcome of any pending litigation with respect to the ultimate scope, impact or constitutionality of these Articles or the impact of any such determinations upon State agencies or local governments, or upon their ability to pay debt service on their obligations. Further initiatives or legislative changes in laws or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of the State or local issuers to repay their obligations.

State Debt. California has a substantial amount of debt outstanding. As of January 1, 2023, the State had approximately $68.3 billion of general obligations bonds and $8.1 billion of lease-revenue bonds outstanding. These obligations are payable principally from the State’s General Fund or from lease payments paid from the operating budget of the respective lessees, which operating budgets are primarily, but not exclusively, derived from the General Fund. Additionally, as of January 1, 2023, there were approximately $29.0 billion of authorized and unissued voter-approved general obligation bonds and approximately $5.8 billion of authorized and unissued lease revenue bonds.

Based on estimates from the Department of Finance and updates from the State Treasurer’s Office, approximately $5.9 billion of new money general obligation bonds and approximately $1.5 billion of lease-revenue bonds are expected to be issued in fiscal year 2023-24.

Because the State plans to issue authorized, but unused, new bond sales in the future, the ratio of debt service on general obligation, lease-revenue bonds supported by the General Fund to annual General Fund revenues and transfers (“General Fund Debt Ratio”) can be expected to fluctuate from year to year. Based on the revenue estimates contained in the Proposed Budget and the bond issuance estimates noted above, the General Fund Debt Ratio had been estimated to equal approximately 3.66% and 3.69% in fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24, respectively.

In addition to general obligation bonds, lease-revenue bonds, and other types of debt, the State may issue certain short-term obligations such as revenue anticipation notes (“RANs”) and revenue anticipation warrants (“RAWs”). Due to the timing differences between when the State receives General Fund receipts and when it makes General Fund disbursements, the State regularly issues short-term obligations to meet its cash flow needs. By law, RANs must mature prior to the end of the fiscal year in which they are issued, while RAWs may mature in a subsequent fiscal year.

Rainy Day Fund Amendment. In November 2014, voters approved Proposition 2, a constitutional amendment that provides for a “rainy day” reserve called the Budget Stabilization Account (“BSA”) that requires both paying down liabilities and saving for a rainy day by making specified deposits into a special reserve by using spikes in capital gains to save money. Capital gains are the state’s most volatile revenue source, and absent a recession, a stock market correction could significantly affect the State. Based on the May Revision, the BSA is estimated to have a balance of $22.3 billion.

State-Local Fiscal Relations. In November 2004, voters approved Proposition 1A, which made significant changes to the fiscal relationship between the State and California’s local governments by, among other things, reducing the State Legislature’s authority over local government revenue sources by restricting the State’s access to local governments’ property, sales and vehicle license fee revenues without meeting certain conditions. Proposition 22, adopted on November 2, 2010, supersedes some parts of Proposition 1A of 2004 and completely prohibits any future borrowing by the State from local government funds. Additionally, Proposition 22 generally prohibits the State Legislature from making changes in local government funding sources.

Proposition 1A also prohibits the State from requiring localities to comply with certain unfunded mandates. Under the law, if the State does not provide the funding necessary to implement the mandate, the mandate is suspended and the locality is relieved from compliance.

State-Federal Fiscal Relations. California receives substantial federal aid for various governmental purposes, including funds to support state-level health care, education and transportation initiatives. California also receives federal funding to help the State respond to, and recover from, severe weather

Part I - 19

events and other natural disasters. In addition, on March 11, 2021, the United States enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) to address public health and economic impacts of COVID-19, which allocated $27 billion to California in state fiscal recovery funds that may be used to respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, replace lost revenue and to make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure. There can be no assurance that the State will be reimbursed by the federal government for these costs. The federal government may enact other budgetary changes or take other actions that could adversely affect California’s finances.

Municipal Downgrades and Bankruptcies. Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to being downgraded, and issuers of municipal bonds may be more susceptible to default and bankruptcy, during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax collections as a result of lower home values, lower sales tax revenue as a result of consumers cutting back from spending and lower income tax revenue as a result of a high unemployment rate. In addition, as certain municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to the Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of the Fund’s investments.

Downgrades of certain municipal securities insurers have in the past negatively impacted the price of certain insured municipal securities. Given the large number of potential claims against municipal securities insurers, there is a risk that they will be unable to meet all future claims. In the past, certain municipal issuers either have been unable to issue bonds or access the market to sell their issues or, if able to access the market, have issued bonds at much higher rates, which may reduce revenues available for municipal issuers to pay existing obligations. Should the State or municipalities fail to sell bonds when and at the rates projected, the State could experience significantly increased costs in the General Fund and a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year.

Further, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. For example, Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides a financially distressed municipality protection from its creditors while it develops and negotiates a plan for reorganizing its debts. “Municipality” is defined broadly by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as a “political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a state” and may include various issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. The reorganization of a municipality’s debts may be accomplished by extending debt maturities, reducing the amount of principal or interest, refinancing the debt or other measures, which may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality. Because the Fund’s performance depends, in part, on the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments on their debt, any actions to avoid making these payments could reduce the Fund’s returns.

In the past, as a result of financial and economic difficulties, several California municipalities filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9. Additional municipalities could file for bankruptcy protection in the future. Any such action could negatively impact the value of the Fund’s investments in the securities of those issuers or other issuers in the State.

Litigation. The State is a party to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the State is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the State’s recent financial statements) that, if decided against the State, might require the State to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the State to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a Fund’s investments.

Bond Ratings. As of May 24, 2023, California’s general obligation debt was assigned a rating of Aa2 by Moody’s, AA- by S&P, and AA by Fitch. These ratings reflect only the views of the respective rating agency, an explanation of which may be obtained from each such rating agency. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the securities issued by the State, its municipalities, and their political subdivisions, instrumentalities and authorities.

Additional Information Regarding New York Municipal Securities

As used in this section, the term “New York Municipal Securities” refers to municipal securities, the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, exempt from New York State and New York City personal income taxes and is not subject to the federal alternative minimum tax on individuals.

Risk Factors Regarding Investments in New York Municipal Securities. Given that the New York Tax Free Bond Fund is invested primarily in New York Municipal Securities, the Fund is subject to risks relating to the economy of the state of New York (as used in this section, the “State”) and the financial condition of the State and local governments and their agencies.

Overview of State Economy. Although New York has a diverse economy, it is heavily dependent on the financial sector, in part, because New York City is the nation’s leading center of banking and finance. Even though the financial sector accounts for a small proportion of all non-agricultural jobs in the State, it contributes a significant amount of total wages in New York. In addition to the financial sector, the State has a comparatively large share of the nation’s information, education and health services employment. Travel and tourism also constitute an important part of the economy. As a result, economic problems or factors that negatively impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the value of New York Municipal Securities.

The State continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including budget deficits. Moreover, the level of public debt in the State may affect long-term growth prospects and could cause some municipalities to experience financial hardship. The State's economic condition has been and may continue to be volatile due to its dependence on the financial activities sector.

In addition, the spread of COVID-19, which began in early 2020, created financial and economic challenges for the State. In response to the pandemic, the State and many local governments ordered the closure of non-essential businesses and recommended or required social-distancing, instituted “shelter-in-place” policies and limited the size of gatherings. The pandemic and the related responses materially and adversely impacted the State’s economy. The current economic environment, including prolonged inflation and rising interest rates, also may negatively affect the economy of the State.

Other substantial risks remain that could undermine the State’s financial and economic projections. For example, federal spending cuts, modifications to the federal tax structure, tax base erosion, uncertainty regarding the Federal Reserve’s policies, national and international events, climate change and extreme weather events, regulatory changes concerning financial sector activities, major policy changes under the current presidential administration, changes concerning financial sector bonus payouts, economic events in Europe, and volatility in commodity prices, among others, could contribute to weakened economic growth, which could reduce State revenues. As the nation’s financial capital, the volatility in financial markets poses a particularly large degree of uncertainty for the State. In addition, financial markets have demonstrated a sensitivity to recent events that include shifting expectations surrounding energy prices, Federal Reserve policy, and global growth, and the resulting market variations are likely to have a larger impact on the State’s economy than on the nation as a whole.

Accordingly, there can be no assurances that the State will not face fiscal stress or that the State’s circumstances will not become more difficult in the future. Moreover, there can be no guarantee that other changes in the State or national economies will not have a materially adverse impact on the State’s financial condition. Any deterioration in the State’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the value of the securities issued by the State and its municipalities, which could reduce the performance of a Fund.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any issuer of a New York Municipal Security will make full or timely payments of principal or interest or remain solvent. However, it should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by local New York issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State, and there may be no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.

General Risks. Many complex political, social and economic factors influence the State’s economy and finances, which may affect the State’s budget unpredictably from year to year. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the performance of the national and State economies; (ii) the volatility in energy markets; (iii) the impact of changes concerning financial sector bonus payouts, as well as any future legislation governing the structure of compensation; (iv) the impact of shifts in monetary policy on interest rates and the financial markets; (v) the impact of financial and real estate market developments on bonus income and capital gains realizations; (vi) the impact of household deleveraging on consumer spending

Part I - 21

and the impact of that activity on State tax collections; (vii) increased demand in entitlement and claims based programs such as Medicaid, public assistance and general public health; (viii) access to the capital markets in light of disruptions in the municipal bond market; (ix) litigation against the State; (x) actions taken by the federal government, including audits, disallowances, changes in aid levels, and changes to Medicaid rules; (xi) the impact of federal statutory and regulatory changes concerning financial sector activities; and (xii) extreme weather events and pandemics, including potential long term risks stemming from COVID-19.

These factors are continually changing, and no assurances can be given with respect to how these factors or other factors will materialize in the future or what impact they will have on the State’s fiscal and economic condition. Such factors could have an adverse impact on the State’s budget and could result in declines, possibly severe, in the value of the State’s outstanding obligations. These factors may also lead to an increase in the State’s future borrowing costs and could impair the State’s ability to make timely payments of interest and principal on its obligations. These factors may also impact the ability of New York’s municipal issuers to issue new debt or service their outstanding obligations.

New York is prone to natural disasters and climate events, including hurricanes. Such events have, in the past, resulted in significant disruptions to the New York economy and required substantial expenditures from the state government.

Budget for Fiscal Year 2024. In June 2023, the Governor finalized the enacted budget financial plan for fiscal year 2024. The budget calls for approximately $104.4 billion in the State’s General Fund (as used in this section, “General Fund”) expenditures for fiscal year 2024, which represents an increase of 12.5% from estimated expenditures in fiscal year 2023, which includes approximately $75.0 billion in assistance and grants (an increase of 19.4%) and approximately $30.0 billion for State operations (a decrease of 3.0%). The budget assumes that the General Fund will receive tax receipts of approximately $90.7 billion (a decrease of 10.1%) in fiscal year 2024, which includes $60.4 billion (a decrease of 14.2%) in personal income tax revenues, $9.3 billion in business tax receipts (a decrease of 10.3%), and $18.4 billion consumption/use tax receipts (an increase of 9.8%), among others. As a result of these projections, the DOB estimates that the State will end fiscal year 2023 with a General Fund balance of approximately $25.9 billion.

Public Authorities. Public authorities are created pursuant to State law, are not subject to the constitutional restrictions on the incurrence of debt that apply to the State itself and may issue bonds and notes subject to restrictions set forth in legislative authorization. The State’s access to the public credit markets could be impaired and the market price of its outstanding debt may be materially and adversely affected if certain of its public authorities were to default on their respective obligations.

The State has numerous public authorities with various responsibilities, including those that finance, construct and/or operate revenue-producing public facilities. Public authorities generally pay their operating expenses and debt service costs from revenues generated by the projects they finance or operate, such as tolls charged for the use of highways, bridges or tunnels, charges for public power, electric and gas utility services, rentals charged for housing units, and charges for occupancy at medical care facilities. Because of the structure of these public authorities, they may also suffer in poor economic environments.

In addition, there are statutory arrangements providing for State local assistance payments otherwise payable to localities to be made instead to the issuing public authorities in order to secure the payment of debt service on their revenue bonds and notes. However, the State has no obligation to provide additional assistance to localities beyond any amounts that have been appropriated in a given year. Some authorities also receive funds from State appropriations to pay for the operating costs of certain programs.

State Debt. The enacted budget financial plan for fiscal year 2024 estimates total State-related debt outstanding at approximately $62.6 billion, equal to approximately 4.0% of New York personal income. State-related debt is a broad measure of State debt that includes general obligation debt, State-guaranteed debt, moral obligation financing and contingent-contractual obligations.

In 2000, the State Legislature passed the Debt Reform Act of 2000 (the “Debt Reform Act”), which allows the issuance of State-supported debt only for capital purposes and limits the maximum term of any such debt to 30 years. The Debt Reform Act also limits the amount of new State-supported debt to 4% of State personal income and new State-supported debt service costs to 5% of all State funds receipts. Once these caps are met, the State is prohibited from issuing any new State-supported debt until such time as the State’s debt is found to be within the applicable limits. For fiscal year 2021, outstanding State-supported debt was below these limits. The fiscal year 2021 enacted budget provided for a one-year suspension of the Debt Reform Act provisions covering all issuances in fiscal year 2021 as part of the State’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Legislature authorized the continuation of the suspension of the Debt Reform

Part I - 22

Act provisions covering all issuances in fiscal year 2022. As a result, any State-supported debt issued in fiscal years 2021 and 2022 was not limited to capital purposes and was not counted towards the statutory caps on debt outstanding and debt service.

As part of its cash management program, the General Fund is generally authorized to borrow resources temporarily from other available funds in the State’s short-term investment pool (“STIP”) for up to four months, or until the end of the fiscal year, whichever period is shorter. The fiscal year 2021 enacted budget amended the statute to permit the borrowings until the end of the fiscal year. The amount of resources that can be borrowed by the General Fund is limited to the available balances in STIP, as determined by the State Comptroller.

Localities. In the past, slow economic growth and reduced State spending have increased the fiscal pressure on municipal issuers in the State, though such impacts have had wide variability. Local governments derive revenues from sales tax, real property tax, transfer tax and fees relating to real property transactions. Revenue losses caused by a slower real estate market and declining real property value, among other reasons, could make it difficult for local governments to address their various economic, social and health care obligations.

New York City. The fiscal demands on the State may be affected by the fiscal condition of New York City, which relies on State aid to balance its budget and meet its cash requirements. It is also possible that the State’s finances may be affected by the ability of the City, and certain entities issuing debt for the benefit of the City, to market securities successfully in the public credit markets. Conversely, the City’s finances, and thus its ability to market its securities successfully, could be negatively affected by delays or reductions in projected State aid. In addition, the City is the recipient of certain federal grants that, if reduced or delayed, could negatively affect the City’s finances. Further, the City, like the State, may be party to litigation that may be resolved in a manner that negatively affects the City’s finances. As of July 1, 2022, New York City’s total outstanding debt was approximately $85.94 billion and is projected to increase to approximately $119.2 billion by July 1, 2025. Moreover, the percentage of total debt outstanding as a percentage of total New York City personal income was projected to be about 13.3% in fiscal year 2021, with a forecast of 13.2% for fiscal year 2022.

Other Localities. Certain localities outside New York City have experienced financial problems and have requested and received additional State assistance in the past. The State has periodically enacted legislation to create oversight boards in order to address deteriorating fiscal conditions within a locality. The potential impact on the State of any future requests by localities for additional oversight or financial assistance is not included in the projections of the State’s receipts and disbursements for the State’s budget.

Like the State, local governments must respond to changing political, economic and financial influences over which they have little or no control. Such changes may adversely affect the financial condition of certain local governments. For example, the State or federal government may reduce (or in some cases eliminate) funding of some local programs or disallow certain claims which, in turn, may require local governments to fund these expenditures from their own resources. The loss of federal funding, recent State aide trends, new constraints for certain localities on raising property tax revenue and significant upfront costs for some communities affected by natural disasters, among other things, may have an impact on the fiscal condition of local governments and school districts in the State.

Localities may also face unanticipated problems resulting from certain pending litigation, judicial decisions and long-term economic trends. Other large-scale potential problems, such as declining urban populations, declines in the real property tax base, increasing pension, health care and other fixed costs and the loss of skilled manufacturing jobs, may also adversely affect localities and necessitate State assistance.

Ultimately, localities as well as local public authorities may suffer serious financial difficulties that could jeopardize local access to the public credit markets, which may adversely affect the marketability of notes and bonds issued by localities within the State. As a result, one or more of these localities could file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the future.

State-Federal Fiscal Relations. New York receives substantial federal aid for various governmental purposes, including, among other things, to support state-level health care, education and transportation initiatives. There can be no assurance that such financial assistance from the federal government will continue in the future. In addition, in 2021, the State was awarded over $27 billion of funding as a result of several federal bills for expenses related to COVID-19, and the State received $12.75 billion in federal aid from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to help bolster the State’s financial position. The federal government may enact other budgetary changes or take other actions that could adversely affect New York’s finances.

Municipal Downgrades and Bankruptcies. Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to being downgraded, and issuers of municipal bonds may be more susceptible to default and bankruptcy, during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax collections as a result of lower home values, lower sales tax revenue as a result of consumers cutting back from spending and lower income tax revenue as a result of a high unemployment rate. In addition, as certain municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to a Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of a Fund’s investments.

Further, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. For example, Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code provides a financially distressed municipality protection from its creditors while it develops and negotiates a plan for reorganizing its debts. “Municipality” is defined broadly by the Bankruptcy Code as a “political subdivision or public agency or instrumentality of a state” and may include various issuers of securities in which a Fund invests.

The reorganization of a municipality’s debts may be accomplished by extending debt maturities, reducing the amount of principal or interest, refinancing the debt or other measures, which may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality. Because a Fund’s performance depends, in part, on the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments on their debt, any actions to avoid making these payments could reduce a Fund’s returns.

Litigation. The State and its officers and employees are parties to numerous legal proceedings, many of which normally occur in government operations. In addition, the State is involved in certain other legal proceedings (described in the State’s official statements) that, if decided against the State, might require the State to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, this document does not attempt to predict the outcome of such litigation, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the State to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a Fund’s investments.

Bond Ratings. As of May 24, 2023, New York’s general obligation debt was assigned a rating of Aa1 by Moody’s and AA+ by both S&P and Fitch. These ratings reflect only the views of the respective rating agency, an explanation of which may be obtained from each such rating agency. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the securities issued by the State, its municipalities, and their political subdivisions, instrumentalities and authorities.

Special Considerations Relating to Municipal Obligations from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

The following information is a summary of special factors that may affect a Fund invested in municipal securities of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“Puerto Rico”) and is derived from public official documents, which generally are available to investors. The following information constitutes only a brief summary of the information in such public official documents; it has not been independently verified and does not purport to be a complete description of all considerations regarding investment in the municipal securities discussed below. Information provided herein may not be current and is subject to change rapidly, substantially and without notice. Events could occur rapidly that significantly affect the value of municipal securities of Puerto Rico and its political subdivisions, instrumentalities and authorities (collectively, “Puerto Rico Securities”).

Part I - 24

The ability of Puerto Rico and its political subdivisions, instrumentalities and authorities to meet their obligations depends primarily on the availability of tax and other revenues to those governments and on their fiscal conditions generally. Local and national market forces, such as population decline due to outmigration and other factors, declines in real estate prices and general business activity, may result in decreasing tax bases, fluctuations in interest rates, and increasing construction costs, all of which could reduce the ability of municipal issuers to repay their obligations. Certain municipal issuers may be unable to obtain additional financing through, or must pay higher interest rates on, new issues, which may reduce revenues available for municipal issuers to pay existing obligations. In addition, in certain circumstances it may be difficult for investors to obtain reliable information on the obligations underlying municipal securities. These and other adverse developments in the municipal securities market may negatively affect the value of Puerto Rico Securities, which could have a negative effect on the performance of a Fund.

The spread of COVID-19 and the related governmental and public responses have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on Puerto Rico’s economy. Preventative or protective actions that governments have taken, and may continue to take, as a result of the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, periods of business disruption and reduced or disrupted operations, which could have negative effects on Puerto Rico’s economy and Puerto Rico and local government budgets. Although vaccines for COVID-19 have been approved for emergency use, the timing of the administration of vaccines and the continued risk of variants or mutations of COVID-19, among other factors, make it impossible to predict the timing of an end to the pandemic.

Since 2000, Puerto Rico has faced a number of significant fiscal challenges, including a structural imbalance between its General Fund revenues and expenditures. Between 2008 and 2020, Puerto Rico's gross national product shrank by 17%, its labor force participation fell to a record low of 39% and its population declined by 15%. In June 2016, the U.S. Congress passed the Puerto Rico Oversight Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”), which established a federally-appointed fiscal oversight board (“Oversight Board”) to oversee Puerto Rico’s financial operations and possible debt restructuring. On May 3, 2017, the Oversight Board filed a debt restructuring petition in the U.S. District Court in Puerto Rico to seek bankruptcy-type protections from, at the time the petition was filed, approximately $74 billion in debt and approximately $48 billion in unfunded pension obligations. In addition to the debt restructuring petition filed on behalf of Puerto Rico, in May 2017, the Oversight Board separately filed debt restructuring petitions for certain Puerto Rico instrumentalities, including the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority (“HTA”), Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”), Puerto Rico Electric and Power Authority (“PREPA”) and Employee Retirement System (“ERS”). In February 2019, a federal judge approved a Plan of Adjustment reducing COFINA debt from $18 billion to $12 billion. More recently, on January 18, 2022, a federal judge approved a Plan of Adjustment, which became effective in March 2022, under which the largest portion of Puerto Rico’s debt was reduced from $34.3 billion to $7.4 billion, and its annual debt service was reduced from $4.2 billion to $1.15 billion. There continue to be ongoing efforts to restructure the debt of certain Puerto Rico instrumentalities, including more than $10 billion of PREPA debt, and there can be no assurance that these efforts will be effective or that Puerto Rico will be able to service debt payments following the completion of any debt restructuring. In addition, any restructurings approved by a federal court could be appealed and overturned. There can be no assurances that these debt restructuring efforts will be effective.

Under the aforementioned Plan of Adjustment, Puerto Rico is required to adopt various debt management policies meant to ensure that debt service is and remains manageable. Additionally, the budget process will continue to require the Oversight Board, the Governor of Puerto Rico, and Puerto Rico’s Legislative Assembly to develop a budget that complies with the fiscal plan developed by the Oversight Board and the Governor.

Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that future developments will not have a materially adverse impact on Puerto Rico’s finances. A future economic downturn in the United States could significantly impact Puerto Rico’s finances and, consequently, its municipal securities. Moreover, the high level of public debt in Puerto Rico affects long-term growth prospects, especially if any of the aforementioned debt restructuring efforts are unsuccessful. Further deterioration in Puerto Rico’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the marketability, liquidity or value of Puerto Rico Securities, which could have a negative effect on the performance of a Fund.

Fiscal Plan. On April 3, 2023, the Oversight Board certified the 2023 fiscal plan (“Fiscal Plan”) for Puerto Rico that prioritizes, among other things, economic development initiatives, education opportunity initiatives, reliable and affordable electricity, and improvements to the tax regime. The Fiscal Plan projections reflect $14.0 billion of revenues (post-measures and structural reforms) for fiscal year 2023, which include estimated personal income tax receipts of $3.0 billion, sales and use receipts of $2.7 billion,

Part I - 25

and corporation tax receipts of $4.8 billion. Against these revenues, the Fiscal Plan projections reflect $12.4 billion of expenditures for fiscal year 2023. If Puerto Rico is unable to achieve the measures and structural reforms reflected in the 2023 Fiscal Plan, or if actual revenues fall short of estimates, Puerto Rico could be forced to take measures to cover any resulting budget gaps, which could add significant pressure to Puerto Rico’s financial condition.

As of January 2023, Puerto Rico’s unemployment rate was 6.0%. The Oversight Board projects that Puerto Rico’s population will decrease by 2% between fiscal years 2022 and 2027 and by 24% between the fiscal years 2023 and 2052.

Puerto Rico relies heavily on transfers from the federal government related to specific programs and activities in Puerto Rico. These transfers include, among others, entitlements for previously performed services, or those resulting from contributions to programs such as Social Security, Veterans’ Benefits, Medicare, Medicaid and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions, as well as grants such as Nutritional Assistance Program grants and Pell Grant scholarships for higher education. Due to Puerto Rico’s dependence on federal transfers, any actions by the federal government to reduce or alter these transfers may cause increased fiscal stress in Puerto Rico, which could have a negative effect on the value of Puerto Rico Securities held by a Fund.

Puerto Rico’s unfunded pension obligations add significant stress to Puerto Rico’s fiscal condition. Recent Fiscal Plans attempted to address Puerto Rico’s pension obligations by taking a variety of measures and adjusting retirement benefits. There can be no guarantee that Puerto Rico will be able to meet its obligations under the current Fiscal Plan or that the fiscal condition of Puerto Rico’s retirement systems will not deteriorate further in the future.

Litigation. Puerto Rico, its officials and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against Puerto Rico might require Puerto Rico to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate the impact such proceedings may have on the ability of Puerto Rico to service its debt obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on Puerto Rico Securities held by a Fund. Additionally, since the enactment of PROMESA, Puerto Rico’s creditors and other constituencies have carried out various legal proceedings. A number of complex legal claims have been asserted that questioned the efficacy and validity of PROMESA and questioned the validity of Oversight Board appointments. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately decided that the appointment of the members to the Oversight Board was valid. In addition, there are certain Title III proceedings that remain ongoing and certain plans of adjustment remain subject to judicial attack.

Credit rating. As of May 24, 2023, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Fitch, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services have discontinued or withdrawn their ratings of Puerto Rico’s general obligation debt. The discontinuance or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the Puerto Rico Securities held by a Fund.

Natural Disasters. Puerto Rico has experienced multiple natural disasters in recent years. In 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused unprecedented damage to Puerto Rico. The damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria had a substantially adverse effect on Puerto Rico’s economy. The 2023 Fiscal Plan projects that approximately $81 billion of private and public disaster relief funding for reconstruction efforts and other disaster relief will be disbursed for reconstruction efforts over a period of 18 years from 2018 through 2035, including $47 billion from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, $19 billion from Housing and Urban Development, $7 billion from private and business insurance pay outs and $7 billion is related to other sources of federal funding. There can be no assurance that all anticipated disaster relief funding will be provided to Puerto Rico, or that such aid will be provided on any expected timeline.

Additionally, in late 2019 and early 2020, Puerto Rico experienced serious earthquakes, the aftershocks of which persisted for several months. These earthquakes have resulted in significant structural damage, including damage to infrastructure, as well business disruptions more broadly. The aftershocks from the earthquakes may continue for years, and it is not currently possible to predict the extent of the damage that could arise from any aftershocks.

Any significant additional Commonwealth obligations and expenditures associated with Irma, Maria or future hurricanes, earthquakes, or other natural disasters could impair Puerto Rico’s ability to service its debt obligations, which could have a negative effect on the market prices of Puerto Rico Securities held by a Fund.

QUALITY DESCRIPTION

Various Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSROs”) assign ratings to securities. Generally, ratings are divided into two main categories: “Investment Grade Securities” and “Non-Investment Grade Securities.” Although there is always a risk of default, rating agencies believe that issuers of Investment Grade Securities have a high probability of making payments on such securities. Non-Investment Grade Securities include securities that, in the opinion of the rating agencies, are more likely to default than Investment Grade Securities.

The Funds only purchase securities that meet the rating criteria described below or in a Prospectus. The Adviser will look at a security’s rating at the time of investment. If the securities are unrated, the Adviser must determine that they are of comparable quality to rated securities. Subsequent to its purchase by a Fund, a security may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum rating required for purchase by a Fund. The Adviser will consider such an event in determining whether a Fund should continue to hold the security and is not required to sell a security in the event of a downgrade. Securities issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities are not rated by NRSROs and so the rating of such securities is determined based on the ratings assigned to the issuer by the NRSRO(s) or if unrated, based on the Adviser’s determination of the issuer’s credit quality. The Adviser may also use the ratings assigned by NRSROs to issuers that are issued by non-U.S. governments and their agencies and instrumentalities to determine the rating of such securities.

From time to time, NRSROs may not agree on the credit quality of a security and issuer and assign different ratings. The Funds use the NRSROs and methodology described in their prospectuses to determine the credit quality of their investments including whether a security is in a particular rating category for purposes of the credit quality requirements. For securities that are not rated by the applicable NRSROs, the Adviser must determine that they are of comparable quality to rated securities.

Limitations on the Use of Municipal Securities

The Funds may not be a desirable investment for “substantial users” of facilities financed by private activity bonds or industrial development bonds or for “related persons” of substantial users.

DIVERSIFICATION

JPMT I, JPMT II and JPMT IV are each a registered open-end investment company. The California Tax Free Bond Fund, the High Yield Municipal Fund, the National Municipal Income Fund and the New York Tax Free Bond Fund are diversified series of JPMT I. The Sustainable Municipal Income Fund, the Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and the Tax Free Bond Fund are diversified series of JPMT II. The Ultra-Short Municipal Fund is a diversified series of JPMT IV.

For a more complete discussion, see the “Diversification” section in Part II of this SAI.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

A portfolio turnover rate is, in summary, the percentage computed by dividing the lesser of a Fund’s purchases or sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) by the average market value of the Fund. The Adviser intends to manage each Fund’s assets by buying and selling securities to help attain its investment objective. A rate of 100% indicates that the equivalent of all of a Fund’s assets have been sold and reinvested in a year. Higher portfolio turnover may affect the amount, timing and character of distributions, and, as a result, may increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. High portfolio turnover also results in higher transaction costs. To the extent that net short-term capital gains are realized by a Fund, any distributions resulting from such gains are considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. For a more complete discussion, see the “Distributions and Tax Matters” section in Part II of this SAI.

The table below sets forth the Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the two most recently completed fiscal years:

	Fiscal Year Ended February 28,
