The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds
on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 46% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund is designed to maximize total return by investing in a portfolio of investment grade intermediate- and long-term debt securities. As part of its main investment strategy, the Fund may principally invest in corporate bonds, U.S. treasury obligations including treasury coupon strips and treasury principal strips, and other U.S. government and agency securities, and asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage pass-through securities
July 1, 2023  |  1

JPMorgan Core Bond Fund (continued)
and cash and cash equivalents. These securities may be structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest.
As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Generally, such bonds will have intermediate to long maturities. The Fund’s average weighted maturity will ordinarily range between four and 12 years. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions and the Fund may shorten or lengthen its average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Because of the Fund’s holdings in asset-backed, mortgage-backed and similar securities, the Fund’s average weighted maturity is equivalent to the average weighted maturity of the cash flows in the securities held by the Fund given certain prepayment assumptions (also known as weighted average life).
Securities will be rated investment grade (or the unrated equivalent) at the time of purchase. In addition, all securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation or a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities. The adviser may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities in the adviser’s discretion. The Fund expects to invest no more than 10% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase.
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund lending.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated
2  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be
given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayment than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign
July 1, 2023  |  3

JPMorgan Core Bond Fund (continued)
countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Interfund Lending Risk. A delay in repayment to the Fund from a borrowing fund could result in lost opportunity costs. Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due. In the case of a default by a borrowing fund and to the extent that the loan is collateralized, the Fund could take possession of collateral that the Fund is not permitted to hold and, therefore, would be required to dispose of such collateral as soon as possible, which could result in a loss to the Fund.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. The Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 41% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
As part of its main investment strategy, the Fund may principally invest in corporate bonds, U.S. treasury obligations and other U.S. government and agency securities, and asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities. The Fund also may invest in bonds, convertible securities, preferred stock, loan participations and assignments (Loans) and commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments), and foreign and emerging market debt securities rated below investment grade (i.e., high yield or junk bonds) or the unrated equivalent.
As a matter of fundamental policy, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment
6  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

purposes. The Fund’s average weighted maturity will ordinarily range between five and twenty years. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions and the Fund may shorten or lengthen its average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Because of the Fund’s holdings in asset-backed, mortgage-backed and similar securities, the Fund’s average weighted maturity is equivalent to the average weighted maturity of the cash flows in the securities held by the Fund given certain prepayment assumptions (also known as weighted average life).
The adviser will invest across the credit spectrum to provide the Fund exposure to various credit rating categories. Under normal conditions, at least 70% of the Fund’s total assets must be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. The balance of the Fund’s assets are not required to meet any minimum quality rating although the Fund will not, under normal circumstances, invest more than 30% of its total assets in below investment grade securities (or the unrated equivalent). Such securities may include so called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries.
The Fund may also invest in loan assignments and participations (Loans) and commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments) including below investment grade Loans and Unfunded Commitments. Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets.
The Fund may invest a significant portion of all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at the adviser’s discretion. Mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities (interest-only or principal-only), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage pass-through securities and cash and cash equivalents. The Fund expects to invest no more than 10% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase. The Fund may also enter into “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date.
Up to 25% of the Fund’s Assets may be invested in foreign securities, including securities denominated in foreign currencies (some of which may be below investment grade securities).
Foreign securities include securities issued by foreign governments or their agencies and instrumentalities and companies that are incorporated outside the United States, including securities from issuers in countries whose economies are less developed (emerging markets), but do not include collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) that are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Fund’s investments in below investment grade securities or the unrated equivalent including below investment grade foreign securities will not, under normal circumstances, exceed more than 30% of the Fund’s total assets.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts as tools in the management of portfolio assets.
The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In addition to the mortgage dollar rolls as described above, the Fund may utilize other relative value strategies involving credit-oriented trades, combinations of derivatives, and combinations of derivatives and fixed income securities. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency derivatives such as currency forwards to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar or use such derivatives to gain or adjust exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
The adviser allocates the Fund’s assets among a range of sectors based on strategic positioning and other tactical considerations. In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser looks for market sectors and individual securities that it believes will perform well over time. The adviser selects individual securities after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, currency risk, legal provisions and the structure of the transactions. With respect to the high yield portion of the Fund, the adviser focuses on value in choosing securities for the Fund by looking at individual securities against the context of broader market factors. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors.

The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund lending.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of
such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate Loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as
8  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies
or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.
Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s Shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the
July 1, 2023  |  9

JPMorgan Core Plus Bond Fund (continued)
assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayment than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, Loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and may be subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan and high yield markets. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans or high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans or high
yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans and high yield instruments held by the Fund.
High yield securities and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. No active trading market may exist for some Loans and other instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to settle. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Certain Loans may not be considered securities under the federal securities laws and, therefore, investments in such Loans may not be subject to certain protections under those laws. In addition, the adviser may not have access to material non-public information to which other investors may have access.
Covenant Lite Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, Loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, options, swaps, credit default swaps, forward contracts and currency forwards, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not
10  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Contingent convertible securities or CoCos are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, a Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the “resolution authority”) has determined that the issuer is not viable. Even though the Fund does not invest in common stock as a principal investment strategy, the Fund will be subject to increased equity market risk in the event that such securities are converted to equity. Coupon payments on contingent convertibles securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Interfund Lending Risk. A delay in repayment to the Fund from a borrowing fund could result in lost opportunity costs. Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due. In the case of a default by a borrowing fund and to the extent that the loan is collateralized, the Fund could take possession of collateral that the Fund is not permitted to hold and, therefore, would be required to dispose of such collateral as soon as possible, which could result in a loss to the Fund.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.40% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for this Share Class. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 119% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund mainly invests in corporate bonds that are rated investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the Fund’s adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser) to be of comparable quality. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in corporate bonds. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. A “corporate bond” is defined as a debt security issued by a corporation or non-governmental entity with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance. As part of its principal strategy, the Fund invests in corporate bonds structured as corporate debt securities, debt securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and master limited partnerships (MLPs), public or private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities.
The Fund is managed relative to the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index (the benchmark). Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s duration is the duration of the benchmark, plus or minus one year. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “five years” means
14  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 5% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). As of May 31, 2023, the duration of the benchmark was 7.15 years. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the securities of companies conducting their principal business activities in the same industry, except that, to the extent that an industry represents 20% or more of the Fund’s benchmark at the time of investment, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in that industry.
The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. In addition, up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in securities rated below investment grade or unrated securities deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality (also known as junk bonds or high yield bonds) and securities denominated in foreign currencies (some of which may be below investment grade securities). The Fund’s investments in high yield securities may include so-called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries. The Fund seeks to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar, but may not always be able to do so.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps and currency derivatives as tools in the management of portfolio assets. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In particular, the Fund may invest in futures and swaps structured as interest rate swaps to manage duration relative to the benchmark. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency derivatives such as currency forwards, futures, and foreign exchange swaps to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar.
Although the Fund predominantly invests in corporate bonds, the Fund may also invest in U.S. Treasury securities including for cash management purposes and for duration management.
The adviser buys and sells investments for the Fund using a three part process that includes determining: (1) macro credit strategy, (2) sector strategy, and (3) security strategy. In establishing the Fund’s macro credit strategy, the adviser evaluates fundamental, technical and valuation factors, along with macro themes from the adviser’s broader fixed income team, to determine the view on risk for the Fund overall. In the second component of the process, the adviser evaluates sectors based on a blend of top down analysis, including relative value judgments, and bottom up fundamental analysis of companies and their respective sectors to determine sector weightings. The
third component of the process focuses on an evaluation of individual companies based on fundamental credit metrics, as well as a review of each company’s competitive environment, event risk and technical factors such as supply, liquidity of debt issued by the company and equity performance. As part of its security strategy, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. Based on the three part process, the adviser overweights and underweights its sector and security investments relative to the benchmark.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In
July 1, 2023  |  15

JPMorgan Corporate Bond Fund (continued)
addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
High Yield Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in securities that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the high yield market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the high yield instruments held by the Fund.
No active trading market may exist for some instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk may be more pronounced for the Fund. When instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/ or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.
Foreign Securities Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such countries. The Fund may also invest in non-dollar denominated securities. Investments in non-dollar denominated securities are subject to risks in addition to those summarized above including currency
16  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, liquidity risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Industry Concentration Risk. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the securities of companies conducting their principal business activities in the same industry, except that, to the extent that an industry represents 20% or more of the Fund’s benchmark at the time of investment, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in that industry. Concentrating Fund investments in companies conducting business in the same industry will subject the Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting that industry than if its investments were not so concentrated.
Derivatives Risk. The Fund may use derivatives, including options, futures contracts, foreign currency derivatives and swaps. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation (including credit risk associated with the counterparty.) Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and are subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Privately Placed Securities Risk. Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and the Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by the Fund may be restricted under federal securities laws. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such investments at a time when, or at a price at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.
REITs Risk. The Fund’s investments in debt securities of REITs are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. Debt securities of REITs are subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity securities of REITs.
MLP Risk. Debt securities of MLPs are subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity interests in MLPs. The managing general partner of an MLP may receive an incentive allocation based on increases in the amount and growth of cash distributions to investors in the MLP. This method of compensation may create an incentive for the managing general partner to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangements. Certain MLPs may operate in, or have exposure to, the energy sector. The energy sector can be significantly affected by changes in the prices and supplies of oil and other energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other government regulations, policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and relationships among OPEC members and between OPEC and oil importing nations.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in U.S. treasury securities. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Government securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government
July 1, 2023  |  17

JPMorgan Corporate Bond Fund (continued)
regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. The Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Debt Fund
Class/Ticker: R5/JEMRX; R6/JEMVX
What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund’s goal is to provide high total return from a portfolio of fixed income securities of emerging markets issuers.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.75% and 0.65% of the average daily net assets of Class R5 and Class R6 Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be
renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 72% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its Assets in emerging market debt investments. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund invests primarily in debt securities that it believes have the potential to provide a high total return from countries whose economies or bond markets are less developed (emerging markets). This designation currently includes most countries in the world except Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the U.S., the United Kingdom and most western European countries. The Fund invests in sovereign debt securities. Sovereign debt securities are securities that are issued or guaranteed by foreign sovereign governments or their agencies, authorities or political subdivisions or instrumentalities, and supranational agencies. The Fund may also invest in debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign corporations and foreign financial institutions.
20  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

These securities may be of any maturity and quality, but under normal market conditions the Fund’s duration will generally be similar to that of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “three years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). As of May 31, 2023, the duration of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified was 6.72 years, although the duration will vary in the future. The Fund does not have any minimum quality rating and may invest without limit in securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds) or the unrated equivalent.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps, and foreign currency derivatives to help manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure and credit and spread volatility. The Fund may hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar through the use of such derivatives, but may not always do so. In addition to hedging non-dollar investments, the Fund may use such derivatives to increase income and gain to the Fund and/or as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
In making investment decisions for the Fund, the adviser establishes overweight and underweight positions versus the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified based on weighted spread duration. Spread duration is the measure of the expected price sensitivity of a bond or group of bonds to changes in spreads. Spreads are measured by the difference in yield between bonds from a specific sector or country of bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. Generally, the prices of a specific sector or country of bonds will increase when spreads tighten and decrease when spreads widen. The adviser uses top down macroeconomic research to assess the general market conditions that may cause spreads to tighten or widen in the countries and sectors where the Fund invests. Based on this top down research, the adviser establishes overweight positions in countries and sectors that it believes are more likely to benefit from tightening spreads and underweight positions in countries and sectors that it believes are more likely to be negatively impacted by widening spreads, a process that is referred to as weighted spread duration.
To implement these overweight and underweight positions, the adviser uses bottom up fundamental research to evaluate the relative attractiveness of the individual securities in each country and sector. The adviser is value oriented and this bottom up fundamental research is based on a quantitative assessment of an issuer’s cash flows, debt structure, debt ratios and profitability and a qualitative assessment of how each issuer will perform relative to other issuers in the country or sector.
Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on the considerations described above, the adviser believes that there is better relative value available in the country or sector in securities of comparable quality, or when the adviser believes the issuer’s credit quality will deteriorate materially. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively
July 1, 2023  |  21

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Debt Fund (continued)
affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.
Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s Shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and
22  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund invests in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if there interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, options, swaps and foreign currency derivatives, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can
expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
High Yield Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in securities that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the high yield market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the high yield instruments held by the Fund.
No active trading market may exist for some instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk may be more pronounced for the Fund. When instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/ or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative
July 1, 2023  |  23

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Debt Fund (continued)
emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class R5 Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified. The performance of Class R6 Shares in the performance table is based on the performance of Class R5 Shares prior to the inception of Class R6 Shares. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund seeks to provide current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.65% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for this Share Class. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received
from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund invests mainly in floating rate debt instruments issued by corporations. These investments include leveraged loan assignments and participations (Loans) and commitments to purchase Loans (Unfunded Commitments). Loans will typically consist of senior secured floating rate loans (Senior Secured Loans) but may also include unsecured loans, second lien loans, bridge loans or loans that are junior or subordinated (Junior Loans). Leveraged loans generally are rated below investment grade or are considered by the adviser to be below investment grade debt securities (also known as “junk bonds,” “high yield securities” and “non-investment grade bonds”). In addition to investing in Loans, as part of its principal strategy, the Fund may also invest in other floating rate high yield securities such as corporate bonds. In addition, the Fund may invest in other corporate debt securities, warrants and rights, convertible securities, common stock, preferred stock and cash equivalents.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in floating rate instruments including Loans, convertible securities, corporate bonds, preferred shares and other floating rate debt instruments. Floating rate instruments also include equity securities (or rights to acquire securities)
26  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

that are structured to pay a floating rate of income and money market investment companies. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
The Fund may invest up to 100% of the Fund’s total assets in below investment grade securities or unrated securities that the adviser deems to be of equivalent quality. Such securities may include so-called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries. Generally, the Fund will not invest, at the time of investment, more than 40% of total assets in securities rated CCC+/Caa1 or lower or unrated securities deemed to be of equivalent quality to such securities.
The Fund generally invests in securities issued in U.S. dollars including U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign corporations and U.S. affiliates of foreign corporations. Up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in foreign and “emerging markets.” Generally, the Fund attempts to minimize currency exposure to foreign currencies through hedging.
Because of the nature of the Fund’s investments, the Fund may, from time to time, acquire securities and instruments related to its holdings that are issued in connection with amendments, waivers, conversions, exchanges, warrants, and rights offerings, as well as bankruptcy reorganizations and other financial or other corporate reorganizations. These securities and instruments include the types of securities that the Fund invests in directly as part of its principal strategy such as Loans, common stock, preferred stock, warrants and rights, corporate bonds, and notes, as well as other types of securities and instruments such as pay-in-kind (PIK) notes, zero-coupon notes, and private placements.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps, forwards and other foreign currency transactions in the management of portfolio investments. The Fund may also use such derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In particular, the Fund may use swaps structured as credit default swaps related to individual Loans or other securities or indexes of Loans or securities to gain or limit exposure to Loans and other securities, to mitigate risk exposure and to manage cash flow needs. In addition, the Fund may use currency derivatives to hedge non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar.
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund through a value-oriented, bottom-up research process that utilizes fundamental credit analysis to identify favorable
and unfavorable risk/reward opportunities across sectors, industries and structures while minimizing credit risk. Such fundamental credit analysis includes focusing on the issuer’s underlying business prospects, capital requirements, capital structure, collateral, covenants, enterprise value, liquidity and management. The adviser strives to mitigate credit risk with research of sectors and issuers and will search for opportunities in inefficient sectors of the market where credit ratings have not caught up with fundamentals. The adviser’s fundamental analysis will be complemented by its macroeconomic insights as they relate to factors such as default rates and capital market liquidity. In addition to traditional fundamental credit and valuation analysis for distressed debt investments, the adviser focuses on identifying the cause (or potential causes) of a company’s distress and identifying catalysts that drive value creation and downside risk. To assess downside risk and upside potential of a particular investment, the adviser generally focuses on analyzing the potential volatility of a company’s enterprise value relative to the leveraged market value of the prospective or current investment. As part of its credit analysis, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions
July 1. 2023  |  27

JPMorgan Floating Rate Income Fund (continued)
in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, Loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and may be subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan and high yield markets. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans or high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans or high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans and high yield instruments held by the Fund.
28  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

High yield securities and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. No active trading market may exist for some Loans and other instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to settle. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Certain Loans may not be considered securities under the federal securities laws and, therefore, investments in such Loans may not be subject to certain protections under those laws. In addition, the adviser may not have access to material non-public information to which other investors may have access.
Covenant Lite Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, Loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, options, swaps, forwards and other foreign currency transactions, may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would have been if it had not used derivatives. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty
July 1. 2023  |  29

JPMorgan Floating Rate Income Fund (continued)
risk. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investment in larger, more established companies. Investments in smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than investments in larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of investments in such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of investments of large capitalization companies, especially over the short term. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Contingent convertible securities or CoCos are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, a Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the “resolution authority”) has determined that the issuer is not viable. Even though the Fund does not invest in common stock as a principal investment strategy, the Fund will be subject to increased equity market risk in the event that such securities are converted to equity. Coupon payments on contingent convertibles securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater
fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
LIBOR Discontinuance or Unavailability Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published, and we recommend that you consult your advisors to stay informed of any such developments. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Fund’s investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Fund and its investments.

Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. The Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class R6 Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The performance of Class R6 Shares in the table before they commenced operations is based on the performance of the Class I Shares (which are not offered in this prospectus). The table shows the average annual total returns over the past year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks to provide total return.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for this Share Class. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 52% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing across sectors in developed and emerging markets located around the world. The Fund is flexible and opportunistic. Because the Fund is not managed to a benchmark, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser) has broad discretion to shift the Fund’s exposure to strategies, sectors, countries or currencies based on changing market conditions and its view of the best mix of investment opportunities. In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser allocates the Fund’s exposure to strategies, sectors, countries, and currencies based on the adviser’s analysis of individual investments and broader economic conditions in individual countries, regions and the world. This allows the adviser to take a conservative approach during uncertain periods and move into higher risk opportunities as market conditions improve, which may result in the Fund focusing in only a few markets and sectors. The Fund’s focus may change from time to time. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify
July 1, 2023  |  33

JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities Fund (continued)
financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in countries other than the United States (Non-U.S. Countries) unless the adviser determines, in its sole discretion, that conditions are not favorable. If the adviser determines that conditions are not favorable, the Fund may invest under 40% of its total assets in Non-U.S. Countries provided that the Fund will not invest less than 30% of its total assets in Non-U.S. Countries under normal circumstances except for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in developed or emerging markets. Emerging markets currently includes most countries in the world except Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the U.S., the United Kingdom and most western European countries and Hong Kong. In managing the Fund, the adviser will invest in issuers in at least three countries other than the U.S. under normal circumstances. The Fund may invest a substantial part of its assets in just one country and is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries. Currently, the Fund anticipates that it will invest no more than 50% of its total assets in non-dollar denominated securities but may invest more from time to time to take advantage of market conditions.
Although the Fund has the flexibility to invest without limit in securities that are rated below investment grade (also known as junk bonds or high yield securities), or the unrated equivalent, the Fund generally invests at least 25% of the Fund’s total assets in investments that, at the time of purchase are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent. The Fund has flexibility to decrease the percentage of assets invested in investment grade securities at any time to take advantage of higher risk opportunities when market conditions are improving.
The Fund has broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of debt securities and instruments. The Fund currently seeks to maintain a duration of eight years or less, although the Fund has the flexibility to maintain a longer duration under certain market conditions such as significant volatility in interest rates and spreads. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate debt securities issued in developed and emerging
markets. These securities may include debt securities issued by governments and their agencies, state and provincial governmental entities, supranational organizations, corporations, and banks.
The Fund may also use currency-related transactions involving currency derivatives as part of its primary investment strategy. A derivative is an instrument that has a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use currency derivatives including foreign forward currency contracts (including non-deliverable forwards) and currency options for hedging or to gain or manage exposure to currencies or securities. The adviser has flexibility to significantly increase the Fund’s exposure to securities or currencies through the use of currency derivatives. The Fund is not required to hedge its non-dollar investment back to the U.S. dollar through the use of derivatives, but may do so from time to time as part of its strategy.
In addition to currency derivatives, the Fund may use other fixed income and credit derivatives including futures contracts, options, and swaps (including credit default swaps). The Fund may use derivatives as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may also use derivatives for hedging purposes (for example, to take synthetic short positions to decrease exposure to certain securities, markets or currencies), to seek to increase gain to the Fund and/or as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
A significant portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities. Such securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. The Fund may also invest in structured investments including credit linked notes (CLNs) for which the reference instrument is an emerging markets or developed markets debt instrument, adjustable rate mortgage loans (ARMs), and custodial receipts. The Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities.
The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).
The Fund may invest in mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage securities eligible to be sold in the “to-be-announced” or TBA market (Mortgage TBAs). The Fund may enter into dollar rolls, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities including mortgage TBAs and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date. The Fund may also sell mortgage TBAs short.
34  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

The Fund may invest in inflation-linked debt securities including fixed and floating rate debt securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). The Fund may also invest in inflation-linked debt securities issued by other entities such as corporations, foreign governments and foreign issuers.
The Fund may also invest in synthetic variable rate instruments, when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities, forward commitments, zero-coupon securities, pay-in-kind securities, inverse floating rate securities, short-term funding agreements, and deferred payment securities.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated
July 1, 2023  |  35

JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities Fund (continued)
conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than other fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
European Market Risk. The Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in Europe, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns, and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. The risk of investing in Europe may be heightened due to steps taken by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the European Union. On December 30, 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom signed the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”), an agreement on the terms governing certain aspects of the European Union’s and the United
Kingdom’s relationship, many of which are still to be determined, including those related to financial services. Notwithstanding the TCA, significant uncertainty remains in the market regarding the ramifications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. The impact on the United Kingdom and European economies and the broader global economy could be significant, resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, impacts on arrangements for trading and on other existing cross-border cooperation arrangements (whether economic, tax, fiscal, legal, regulatory or otherwise), and in potentially lower growth for companies in the United Kingdom, Europe and globally, which could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. In addition, if one or more other countries were to exit the European Union or abandon the use of the euro as a currency, the value of investments tied to those countries or the euro could decline significantly and unpredictably.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.
36  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns.
High Yield Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in securities that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the high yield market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the high yield instruments held by the Fund.
No active trading market may exist for some instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk may be more pronounced for the Fund. When instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/ or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including foreign forward currency contracts, options, futures contracts and swaps, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Strategy Risk. The Fund uses a flexible asset allocation approach which may result in the adviser focusing on only a few strategies, sectors, countries or currencies. Due to the Fund’s flexible allocation approach, the Fund’s risk exposure may vary and risk associated with an individual strategy, sector, country or currency may become more pronounced, particularly when the Fund utilizes only a few strategies or types of investments. The Fund’s currency management strategies may substantially change the Fund’s exposure to currency exchange rates and could result in losses to the Fund if currencies do not perform as the adviser expects. In addition, currency management strategies, to the extent that they reduce the Fund’s exposure to currency risks, may also reduce the Fund’s ability to benefit from favorable changes in currency exchange rates. Using currency derivative strategies for purposes other than hedging further increases the Fund’s exposure to foreign investment losses. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets. In addition, currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time, and can reduce returns.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will
July 1, 2023  |  37

JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities Fund (continued)
provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayment than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Structured Investment Risk. Certain structured investments including CLNs are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such instruments, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk.
Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities such as TIPS are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Risk. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls involving mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs and other mortgage-backed securities. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Short sales of mortgage TBAs and engaging in mortgage dollar rolls may be subject to leverage risks as described under “Derivatives Risk.” In addition, mortgage dollar rolls may increase interest rate risk and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.
Zero-Coupon, Pay-In-Kind and Deferred Payment Securities Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment security is generally more volatile than the market value of, and is more likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates than, other fixed income securities with similar maturities and credit quality that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero-coupon security accrue a portion of the discount at which the security was purchased as taxable income each year. The Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash to satisfy its requirement as a regulated investment company to distribute all of its net income.
Options Risk. There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets and even a well conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. Options may be volatile and there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option at any particular time, even if the contract is traded on an exchange. Exchanges may halt trading in options thereby making it impossible for the Fund to enter into or close out option positions and impairing the Fund’s access to assets held to cover such options positions. The Fund may also be at
38  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

risk that counterparties entering into an option transaction will not fulfill their obligations, particularly when the Fund utilizes over-the-counter options.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. The Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.05%, 0.80%, 0.55% and 0.30% of the average daily net assets of Class R2, Class R3, Class R4 and Class R6 Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for all Share Classes. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund principally invests in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and related to securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund may also invest in securities which are guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities so long as such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
The Fund mainly invests in government bonds with intermediate to long remaining maturities. These include U.S. mortgage-backed securities, including those issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). Mortgage-backed securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), mortgage pass-though securities, and stripped mortgage-backed securities. These securities may be structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-backed securities in the adviser’s discretion.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in government bonds including bonds issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means
net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Ordinarily, such bonds will have principal and interest guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, be subject to repurchase agreements, or represent an interest in or be secured by mortgages that are issued or guaranteed by certain U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities.
The Fund’s average weighted maturity will ordinarily range between three and 15 years, taking into account expected prepayment of principal on certain investments. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions and the Fund may shorten or lengthen its average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Because of the Fund’s holdings in mortgage-backed and similar securities, the Fund’s average weighted maturity is equivalent to the average number of years for which each dollar of unpaid principal on a loan or mortgage securing mortgage-backed and similar securities remains outstanding given certain prepayment assumptions (also known as weighted average life).
The Fund’s adviser has flexibility with respect to the Fund’s duration. Currently, the Fund’s adviser aims to maintain a duration of between 5.00 and 5.50 years over the long term, although the adviser has the flexibility to maintain a longer or shorter duration when it believes it is advisable to do so. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve).
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its evaluation of credit risk, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
42  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund lending.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of
such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will
July 1, 2023  |  43

JPMorgan Government Bond Fund (continued)
provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as IOs and POs, are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Interfund Lending Risk. A delay in repayment to the Fund from a borrowing fund could result in lost opportunity costs. Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due. In the case of a default by a borrowing fund and to the extent that the loan is collateralized, the Fund could take possession of collateral that the Fund is not permitted to hold and, therefore, would be required to dispose of such collateral as soon as possible, which could result in a loss to the Fund.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in
times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class R2 Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years, and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Government Bond Index. The performance of Class R3, Class R4 and Class R6 Shares is based on the performance of Class I Shares (which are not offered in this prospectus) of the Fund prior to their inception. Prior class performance of Class R3 and Class R4 Shares has been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses between Class R3 and Class R4 Shares and Class I Shares. The actual returns for Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class I Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks a high level of current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of debt securities which are rated below investment grade or unrated. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain
money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.25%, 1.00%, 0.75%, 0.60% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for all Share Classes. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 34% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund invests in all types of high yield, high risk debt securities. The Fund also may invest in convertible securities, preferred stock, common stock and loan participations and assignments and commitments to purchase loan assignments.
46  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in bonds, other debt securities, loan assignments and participations (Loans), commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments) and preferred stocks that are rated below investment grade or unrated. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
Up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in other securities, including investment grade securities. The Fund’s average weighted maturity ordinarily will range between three and ten years, although the Fund may shorten its weighted average maturity to as little as two years if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions.
The Fund may invest no more than 30% of its net assets in Loans and Unfunded Commitments. Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets.
The Fund may invest up to 100% of the Fund’s total assets in below investment grade or unrated securities. Such securities are also known as “junk bonds,” “high yield bonds” and “non-investment grade bonds.” Such securities may include so called “distressed debt”. Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries. All securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation, government or its agencies and instrumentalities.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options and swaps to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In particular, the Fund may invest in swaps structured as credit default swaps related to individual Loans or other securities or indexes of Loans or other securities to gain exposure to such Loans and other securities, to mitigate risk exposure or to manage cash flow needs.
Although the Fund predominantly invests in debt securities and income producing securities, it may also invest in common stock from time to time. In addition, the Fund may acquire and hold such securities (or rights to acquire such securities) in connection with an amendment, waiver, conversion or exchange of fixed income securities, in connection with the bankruptcy or workout of distressed fixed income securities, or upon the exercise of a right or warrant obtained on account of a fixed income security.
The adviser focuses on value in buying and selling securities for the Fund by looking at individual securities against the context of broader market factors. For each issuer, the adviser performs an in-depth analysis of the issuer, including business prospects, management, capital requirements, capital structure, enterprise value and security structure and covenants. In addition, the adviser monitors investments on an ongoing basis by staying abreast of positive and negative credit developments expediting the review of the Fund’s investments that are considered to be the most risky. Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on fundamental credit analysis and the considerations described above, the adviser believes the issuer’s credit quality will deteriorate materially or when the adviser believes that there is better relative value available in the market in securities of comparable quality. As part of its credit analysis, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or
July 1, 2022  |  47

JPMorgan High Yield Fund (continued)
expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, Loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and may be subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan and high yield markets. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans or high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or high yield
securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans or high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans and high yield instruments held by the Fund.
High yield securities and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. No active trading market may exist for some Loans and other instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to settle. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Certain Loans may not be considered securities under the federal securities laws and, therefore, investments in such Loans may not be subject to certain protections under those laws. In addition, the adviser may not have access to material non-public information to which other investors may have access.
Covenant Lite Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, Loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase
48  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investment in larger, more established companies. Investments in smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than investments in larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of investments in such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of investments of large capitalization companies, especially over the short term. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate Loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including options, futures contracts and swaps, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and
market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Privately Placed Securities Risk. Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and the Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by the Fund may be restricted under federal securities laws. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such investments at a time when, or at a price at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Contingent convertible securities or CoCos are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event
July 1, 2022  |  49

JPMorgan High Yield Fund (continued)
such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, a Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the “resolution authority”) has determined that the issuer is not viable. Even though the Fund does not invest in common stock as a principal investment strategy, the Fund will be subject to increased equity market risk in the event that such securities are converted to equity. Coupon payments on contingent convertibles securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s
performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 166% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing opportunistically among multiple debt markets and sectors that the Fund’s adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser) believes have high potential to produce income and have low correlations to each other in order to manage risk. The Fund is flexible and not managed to a benchmark. This allows the Fund to shift its allocations based on changing market conditions, which may result in investing in a single or multiple markets and sectors. The Fund also uses a strategy of managing distributions throughout the year to help reduce fluctuations in monthly dividends. “Income” in the Fund’s name refers to the Fund’s strategy of seeking to provide a predictable level of dividend income by investing opportunistically across different markets and sectors and utilizing income management strategies. The capital appreciation sought by the Fund generally arises from decreases in interest rates or improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security.
The Fund has broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of debt securities and instruments of any maturity. The Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate debt securities issued in both U.S. and foreign markets, including countries whose economies are less developed (emerging markets). The Fund invests primarily in U.S. dollar denominated securities, although the Fund may also invest in non-dollar denominated securities. The Fund currently anticipates that it will invest no more than 10% of its total assets in non-dollar denominated securities, although, from time to time, the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in non-dollar denominated securities to take advantage of market conditions.
In connection with managing volatility, the Fund seeks to maintain a duration of ten years or less, although, under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s duration may be longer than ten years. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve).
Although the Fund has the flexibility to invest above 65% of its total assets in investments that are rated below investment grade (also known as junk bonds or high yield securities) or the unrated equivalent to take advantage of market opportunities, under normal market conditions the Fund invests at least 35% of its total assets in investments that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent.
Below investment grade securities may include so-called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal
July 1, 2023  |  53

JPMorgan Income Fund (continued)
or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries.
A significant portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities and mortgage-backed securities. Such securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. The Fund also may invest in inverse floaters and inverse IOs, which are debt securities with interest rates that reset in the opposite direction from the market rate to which the security is indexed. The Fund may also invest in structured investments and adjustable rate mortgage loans (ARMs). The Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in sub-prime mortgage-related securities.
The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).
The Fund may also invest in mortgage pass-through securities including securities eligible to be sold on the “to-be-announced” or TBA market (mortgage TBAs). The Fund may enter into dollar rolls, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities including mortgage TBAs and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date. The Fund may also sell mortgage TBAs short.
The Fund may invest in inflation-linked debt securities including fixed and floating rate debt securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). The Fund may also invest in inflation-linked debt securities issued by other entities such as corporations, foreign governments and foreign issuers. The Fund may invest in loan participations and assignments (Loans) and commitments to purchase Loans (Unfunded Commitments). Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans.
The Fund may also invest in convertible securities and preferred stock that the adviser believes will produce income or generate return. The Fund also may use bank obligations, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, custodial receipts, inverse floating rate instruments, municipal securities, private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), short-term funding agreements, when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities and forward commitments, and zero-coupon, pay-in-kind and
deferred payment securities. The securities in which the Fund invests may include debt securities issued by governments and their agencies, supranational organizations, corporations, and banks.
The Fund has flexibility to utilize derivatives and at times, use of such derivatives may be a principal strategy. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. Derivatives will be used primarily for hedging, including duration hedging, but may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. Such derivatives may include futures contracts, options, swaps including interest rate and credit default swaps, and forward contracts. The Fund may also use derivatives for other hedging purposes (e.g., decreasing or increasing exposure to certain securities), to increase income and gain to the Fund, as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular securities, markets or currencies and/or to manage cash flows.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser uses a flexible, opportunistic approach that combines strategy and sector rotation (asset allocation). Strategy rotation refers to the shifting of investments among the multiple debt markets in which the Fund may invest. Sector rotation refers to the shifting of investments from one or more sectors (for example, high yield) into one or more other sectors (for example, emerging markets). For each strategy/sector, dedicated specialists provide security research and recommendations to the lead portfolio managers. Buy and sell decisions are based on fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis, including the expected potential to generate income. As part of its risk management strategy, the adviser typically will invest in multiple strategies/sectors, but, as part of the Fund’s opportunistic strategy, the adviser has flexibility to invest in a single or small number of strategies/sectors from time to time. Due to the Fund’s flexible asset allocation approach, the Fund’s risk exposure may vary and a risk associated with an individual strategy or type of investment may become more pronounced when the Fund utilizes a single strategy or type of investment or only a few strategies or types of investments. Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis and the considerations described above, the adviser believes the issuer’s credit quality will deteriorate materially or when the adviser believes that there is better relative value available in the market in securities of comparable quality. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain
54  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objectives, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate Loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other
trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Strategy Risk. The Fund’s strategy of seeking to provide a predictable level of dividend income may not be successful. The income payable on debt securities in general and the availability of investment opportunities varies based on market conditions. In addition, the Fund may not be effective in identifying income producing securities and managing distributions; as a result, the level of dividend income may fluctuate. The Fund’s investments are subject to various risks including the risk that the counterparty will not pay income when due which may adversely impact the level and predictability of dividend income paid by the Fund. The Fund does not guarantee that distributions will always be paid or paid at a predictable level.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, Loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less
July 1, 2023  |  55

JPMorgan Income Fund (continued)
creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and may be subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan and high yield markets. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans or high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans or high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans and high yield instruments held by the Fund.
High yield securities and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. No active trading market may exist for some Loans and other instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to settle. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Certain Loans may not be considered securities under the federal securities laws and, therefore, investments in such Loans may not be subject to certain protections under those laws. In addition, the adviser may not have access to material non-public information to which other investors may have access.
Covenant Lite Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, Loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
56  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.
European Market Risk. The Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in Europe, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns, and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. The risk of investing in Europe may be heightened due to steps taken by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the European Union. On December 30, 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom signed the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”), an agreement on the terms governing certain aspects of the European Union’s and the United Kingdom’s relationship, many of which are still to be determined, including those related to financial services. Notwithstanding the TCA, significant uncertainty remains in the market regarding the ramifications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. The impact on the United Kingdom and European economies and the broader global economy could be significant, resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, impacts on arrangements for trading and on other existing cross-border cooperation arrangements (whether economic, tax, fiscal, legal, regulatory
or otherwise), and in potentially lower growth for companies in the United Kingdom, Europe and globally, which could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. In addition, if one or more other countries were to exit the European Union or abandon the use of the euro as a currency, the value of investments tied to those countries or the euro could decline significantly and unpredictably.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.

JPMorgan Income Fund (continued)
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
The Fund will be exposed to additional risk to the extent that it uses inverse floaters and inverse IOs, which are debt securities with interest rates that reset in the opposite direction from the market rate to which the security is indexed. These securities are more volatile and more sensitive to interest rate changes than other types of debt securities. If interest rates move in a manner not anticipated by the adviser, the Fund could lose all or substantially all of its investment in inverse IOs.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities such as TIPS are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index.
Equity Market Risk. The Fund’s investments in preferred shares and convertible securities are subject to equity market risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Contingent convert
ible securities or CoCos are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, a Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the “resolution authority”) has determined that the issuer is not viable. Even though the Fund does not invest in common stock as a principal investment strategy, the Fund will be subject to increased equity market risk in the event that such securities are converted to equity. Coupon payments on contingent convertibles securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal security generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or hurt the ability to preserve capital and liquidity. Under some circumstances, municipal securities might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Risk. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls involving mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs and other mortgage-backed securities. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Short sales of mortgage TBAs and engaging in mortgage dollar rolls may be subject to leverage risks as described under “Derivatives Risk.” In addition, mortgage dollar rolls may increase interest rate risk and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.
58  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Zero-Coupon, Pay-In-Kind and Deferred Payment Securities Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment security is generally more volatile than the market value of, and is more likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates than, other fixed income securities with similar maturities and credit quality that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero-coupon security accrue a portion of the discount at which the security was purchased as taxable income each year. The Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash to satisfy its requirement as a regulated investment company to distribute all of its net income (including non-cash income attributable to zero-coupon securities). These actions may reduce the assets to which the Fund’s expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce the Fund’s rate of return.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Privately Placed Securities Risk. Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and the Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by the Fund may be restricted under federal securities laws. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such investments at a time when, or at a price at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.
REITs Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, options, swaps including interest rate and credit default swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not
fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. The Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with low volatility of principal.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for this Share Class. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received
from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 26% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund mainly invests in mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, adjustable rate mortgages, money market instruments, and structured investments. These investments may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage pass-through securities. These securities may be structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
The Fund seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less, although, under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s duration may be longer than three years. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a
62  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

duration of “three years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve).
The Fund invests in fixed and floating rate debt securities representing an interest in or secured by residential mortgage loans. These securities often are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). However, the Fund may also purchase mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities that are issued by non-governmental entities. Such securities may or may not have private insurer guarantees of timely payments.
Securities purchased by the Fund will be rated investment grade (or the unrated equivalent) at the time of purchase. In addition, all securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation, or a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund may also invest in corporate debt securities that are issued by a U.S. corporation. The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at the adviser’s discretion. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase.
The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure, credit and spread volatility and to respond to volatile market conditions. Derivatives, which are instruments which have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, and swaps in connection with its principal strategies in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund.
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively
impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate
July 1, 2023  |  63

JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund (continued)
impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayment than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies
64  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, options and swaps, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
LIBOR Discontinuance or Unavailability Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021,
publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published, and we recommend that you consult your advisors to stay informed of any such developments. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Fund’s investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Fund and its investments.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

JPMorgan Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund
Class/Ticker: R6/JMBUX
What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks to maximize total return by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of debt securities backed by pools of residential and/or commercial mortgages.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for this Share Class. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund
fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 57% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund invests mainly in investment grade mortgage-backed securities or unrated mortgage-backed securities which the adviser determines to be of comparable quality. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in mortgage-backed securities. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or non-governmental securities, commercial mortgage securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities, mortgage pass-through securities and other securities representing an interest in or secured by mortgages including asset-backed securities backed by home equity loans. These securities may be structured such that payments consist
68  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-backed securities in the adviser’s discretion. The Fund expects to invest no more than 10% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase. All securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation or a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities. As a matter of fundamental policy, at least 65% of the Fund’s total assets will consist of bonds.
The Fund’s average weighted maturity will normally range between two and ten years. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions and the Fund may shorten or lengthen its average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Because of the Fund’s holdings in asset-backed, mortgage-backed and similar securities, the Fund’s average weighted maturity is equivalent to the average weighted maturity of the cash flows in the securities held by the Fund given certain prepayment assumptions (also known as weighted average life).
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.
An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks
July 1, 2023  |  69

JPMorgan Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund (continued)
including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
The Fund will be exposed to additional risk to the extent that it uses inverse floaters and inverse IOs, which are debt securities with interest rates that reset in the opposite direction from the market rate to which the security is indexed. These securities are more volatile and more sensitive to interest rate changes than other types of debt securities. If interest rates move in a manner not anticipated by the adviser, the Fund could lose all or substantially all of its investment in inverse IOs.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate
securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
70  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate from March 31, 2022 (the Fund’s inception date) to February 28, 2023 (the end of the Fund’s fiscal year) was 29% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund mainly invests in preferred and debt securities believed to be attractively valued relative to credit quality and other investment characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in preferred and debt securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and obligors, including traditional preferred securities, hybrid preferred securities that have investment and economic characteristics of both preferred stock and debt securities, floating rate preferred securities, corporate debt securities, convertible securities, contingent convertible securities (“CoCos”), and securities of other open-end or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest primarily in preferred and/or debt securities. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
The Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in the financials sector which includes, among other industries, banking, diversified financials, real estate (including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and insurance industries. The Fund has a fundamental policy to concentrate its investments in an industry or group of industries which includes the banking,
July 1, 2023  |  73

JPMorgan Preferred and Income Securities Fund (continued)
diversified financials, real estate (including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)) and insurance industries. This means that the Fund will invest 25% or more of its total assets in these related industries on a combined basis and may invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one of these four industries individually.
The Fund may invest in securities in both U.S. and foreign markets. The Fund has discretion to focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries including both U.S. and foreign markets including European markets. In addition, the Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in securities rated below investment grade or unrated securities deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality (also known as junk bonds or high yield bonds) and securities denominated in foreign currencies (some of which may be below investment grade securities). The Fund’s investments in high yield securities may include so-called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries.
As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the adviser seeks to manage distributions throughout the year to help reduce fluctuations in monthly dividends. As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in securities structured as equity or debt securities of master limited partnerships (MLPs), private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities, sovereign obligations, trusts preferreds, U.S. Government Agency Securities and Obligations, variable and floating rate instruments, and zero-coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps, credit derivatives and currency derivatives as tools in the management of portfolio assets. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In particular, the Fund may invest in futures and swaps structured as interest rate swaps and total return swaps for duration or hedging purposes or to gain or limit exposure to securities or markets. In addition, the Fund may use swaps structured as credit default swaps related to individual securities indexes of securities to gain or limit exposure to securities, to mitigate risk exposure, and manage cash flows. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency derivatives such as currency forwards, futures, and foreign exchange swaps to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar, but may not always do so.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
Investment Process – The adviser buys and sells investments for the Fund using a three part process that includes determining: (1) macro credit strategy, (2) sector strategy, and (3) security strategy. In establishing the Fund’s macro credit strategy, the adviser evaluates fundamental, technical and valuation factors, along with macro themes from the adviser’s broader fixed income team, to determine the view on risk for the Fund overall. In the second component of the process, the adviser evaluates sectors based on a blend of top down analysis, including relative value judgments, and bottom up fundamental analysis of companies and their respective sectors to determine sector weightings. The third component of the process (also known as the security strategy) focuses on an evaluation of individual companies based on fundamental credit metrics, as well as a review of each company’s competitive environment, regulatory risks, bond structure and credit ranking, event risk, relative value and technical factors such as supply, liquidity of debt issued by the company and equity performance, as applicable. As part of its evaluation of individual companies, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objectives, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
74  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities generally have a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, dividends on preferred securities are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. As a consequence, if the board of directors of an issuer does not declare dividends or distributions for the relevant dividend or distribution periods, the issuer will not be obligated to pay dividends or distributions on the relevant payment date, and such dividends and distributions may be forfeited. Holders of preferred securities typically do not have voting rights except in certain circumstances where they may be given only limited voting rights. Preferred securities also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Hybrid Preferred Securities Risk. Hybrid preferred securities are debt instruments that have characteristics and risks similar to those of preferred securities. As hybrid preferred securities typically are perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Hybrid preferred securities are generally structured as debt securities that are subordinate to senior debt holders. In addition, the issuer of such securities may be permitted to defer interest payment. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Extension Risk. The Fund invests in securities that may be subject to the risk that a rise in interest rates or credit spreads will extend the life of a security to a date later than the anticipated repayment date, causing the value of the investment to decrease.
Equity Market Risk. The Fund’s investments in preferred shares and convertible securities are subject to equity market risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
July 1, 2023  |  75

JPMorgan Preferred and Income Securities Fund (continued)
Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Contingent convertible securities or CoCos are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, a Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the “resolution authority”) has determined that the issuer is not viable. Even though the Fund does not invest in common stock as a principal investment strategy, the Fund will be subject to increased equity market risk in the event that such securities are converted to equity. Coupon payments on contingent convertibles securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
High Yield Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in securities that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the high yield market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively
impact the value of the high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the high yield instruments held by the Fund.
No active trading market may exist for some instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk may be more pronounced for the Fund. When instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/ or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.
REITs Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy and environmental factors. In addition, the underlying mortgage loans may be subject to the risks of default or of prepayments that occur earlier or later than expected, and such loans may also include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The value of REITs will also rise and fall in response to the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties. REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
In addition, certain of the companies in which the Fund intends to invest may have developed or commenced development on properties and may develop additional properties in the future. Real estate development involves significant risks in addition to those involved in the ownership and operation of established properties, including the risks that financing, if needed, may not
76  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

be available on favorable terms for development projects, that construction may not be completed on schedule (resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs), that estimates of the costs of construction may prove to be inaccurate and that properties may not be leased, rented or operated on profitable terms and therefore will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investment may decrease in value.
Foreign Securities Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such countries. The Fund may also invest in non-dollar denominated securities. Investments in non-dollar denominated securities are subject to risks in addition to those summarized above including currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, liquidity risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States.
Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s Shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns.
Distribution Risk. The Fund is not designed to provide a predictable level of dividend income. The income payable on debt securities in general and the availability of investment opportunities varies based on market conditions. In addition, the Fund may not be effective in identifying income producing securities and managing distributions; as a result, the level of dividend income will fluctuate. The Fund’s investments are subject to various risks including the risk that the counterparty will not pay income when due which may adversely impact the level and volatility of dividend income paid by the Fund. The Fund does not guarantee that distributions will always be paid or that such dividends will not fluctuate.
Concentration Risk. Because the Fund will, under ordinary circumstances, invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies in the financials sector including securities in the banking, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries, developments affecting the financials and these four industries within this sector may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund. These risks generally include interest rate risk, credit risk and risk associated with regulatory changes in the financials sector. In addition, companies in the financial sectors are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Zero-Coupon, Pay-In-Kind and Deferred Payment Securities Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment security is generally more volatile than the market value of, and is more likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates than, other fixed income securities with similar maturities and credit quality that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero-coupon security accrue a portion of the discount at which the security was purchased as taxable income each year. The Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash to satisfy its requirement as a regulated investment company to distribute all of its net income (including non-cash income attributable to zero-coupon securities). These actions may reduce the assets to which the Fund’s expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce the Fund’s rate of return.
July 1, 2023  |  77

JPMorgan Preferred and Income Securities Fund (continued)
MLP Risk. The Fund invests in both equity and debt securities issued by MLPs. The managing general partner of an MLP may receive an incentive allocation based on increases in the amount and growth of cash distributions to investors in the MLP. This method of compensation may create an incentive for the managing general partner to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangements. Certain MLPs may operate in, or have exposure to, the energy sector. The energy sector can be significantly affected by changes in the prices and supplies of oil and other energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other government regulations, policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and relationships among OPEC members and between OPEC and oil importing nations. Debt securities of MLPs are subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity interests in MLPs.
Privately Placed Securities Risk. Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and the Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by the Fund may be restricted under federal securities laws. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such investments at a time when, or at a price at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.
Trust Preferred Securities Risk. Trust preferred securities, also known as “trust preferreds,” are preferred stocks issued by a special purpose trust subsidiary backed by subordinated debt of the corporate parent. The market for trust preferred securities may be limited due to restrictions on resale, and the market value may be more volatile than those of conventional debt securities. The value of trust preferred securities may fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in the financial condition of an issuer, investors’ perception of the financial condition of an issuer, or the general economic condition of the market for trust preferred securities.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, options, swaps including interest rate and credit default swaps and forward contracts, credit derivatives and currency derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have
a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Options Risk. There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets and even a well conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. Options may be volatile and there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option at any particular time, even if the contract is traded on an exchange. Exchanges may halt trading in options thereby making it impossible for the Fund to enter into or close out option positions and impairing the Fund’s access to assets held to cover such options positions. The Fund may also be at risk that counterparties entering into an option transaction will not fulfill their obligations, particularly when the Fund utilizes over-the-counter options.
ETF and Other Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in ETFs and other investment companies, including common shares and preferred shares of closed-end funds. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The price movement of an ETF or closed end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. Certain ETFs and other underlying funds may not be actively managed. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by such funds when an actively managed fund would not do so. In addition, ETFs and closed-end investment companies may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio. If the Fund invests in closed-end investment companies, it may incur added expenses such as additional management fees and trading costs.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war,
78  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.
European Market Risk. The Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in Europe, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns, and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. The risk of investing in Europe may be heightened due to steps taken by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the European Union. On December 30, 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom signed the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”), an agreement on the terms governing certain aspects of the European Union’s and the United Kingdom’s relationship, many of which are still to be determined, including those related to financial services. Notwithstanding the TCA, significant uncertainty remains in the market regarding the ramifications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. The impact on the United Kingdom and European economies and the broader global economy could be significant, resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, impacts on arrangements for trading and on other existing cross-border cooperation arrangements (whether economic, tax, fiscal, legal, regulatory or otherwise), and in potentially lower growth for companies in the United Kingdom, Europe and globally, which could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. In addition, if one or more other countries were to exit the European
Union or abandon the use of the euro as a currency, the value of investments tied to those countries or the euro could decline significantly and unpredictably.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. In addition, certain of the Fund’s investments such as preferred securities, hybrid preferred securities and contingent convertible securities may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions. Changes in the rate at which prepayments or redemptions occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are redeemed, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
LIBOR Discontinuance or Unavailability Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not

JPMorgan Preferred and Income Securities Fund (continued)
take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published, and we recommend that you consult your advisors to stay informed of any such developments. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Fund’s investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Fund and its investments.
Newer Fund Risk. The Fund is new with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors will have only limited information concerning the Fund’s track record or history to help inform their investment decisions. In addition, until the Fund achieves a certain size, the performance of certain of its investments may disproportionately impact the performance of the Fund, which may be subject to heightened volatility. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. A Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject a Fund to additional risks and costs.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

The Fund’s Past Performance
The Fund has not operated for a full calendar year as of the date of this prospectus and therefore, has no reportable performance history. Once the Fund has operated for at least one calendar year, bar chart and performance table will be included in the prospectus to show the performance of the Fund. When such information is included, this section will provide some indication of the risks investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance history from year to year (as applicable), and showing how the funds average annual total returns compare with those of broad measure of market performance.Although past performance of the Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, except when your investment is in a 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged investment plan, in which case you may be subject to federal income tax upon withdrawal from the tax-advantaged investment plan.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services.

What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital through investment in high- and medium-grade fixed income securities.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.28% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for this Share Class. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund
fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 74% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
As part of its main investment strategy, the Fund may principally invest in U.S. treasury obligations, U.S. government agency securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, and structured instruments. These investments may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage pass-through securities. U.S. government agency securities may be issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less, although under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s duration may be longer than three years. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of
82  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “three years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). Consistent with the Fund’s short duration strategy, the Fund’s effective average weighted maturity ordinarily will be three years or less taking into account expected amortization and prepayment of principal on certain investments. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions and the Fund may shorten or lengthen its average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Because of the Fund’s holdings in asset-backed, mortgage-backed and similar securities, the Fund’s average weighted maturity is equivalent to the average weighted maturity of the cash flows in the securities held by the Fund given certain prepayment assumptions (also known as weighted average life).
Securities purchased by the Fund will be rated investment grade (or the unrated equivalent) at the time of purchase. In addition, all securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation or a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at the adviser’s discretion. The Fund expects to invest less than 5% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase.
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. The adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.
An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and
July 1, 2023  |  83

JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund (continued)
longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital
loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk”, for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies,
84  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 130% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Consistent with the Fund’s dual objective of seeking total return and preservation of capital, the Fund uses a multi-sector strategy in order to create a diversified portfolio that generates total return while managing risk. The Fund principally invests in traditional fixed income sectors (for example, investment grade corporate bonds), while also having the flexibility to allocate its assets to extended sectors such as below investment grade securities (also known as high yield or junk bonds) and foreign and emerging markets debt. The Fund may invest in corporate bonds, U.S. treasury obligations and other U.S. government and agency securities, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, mortgage TBAs, private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities, and variable and floating rate instruments. Under normal conditions, at least 70% of the Fund’s net assets must be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) or in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund will not invest more than 30% of its net assets in below investment grade
July 1, 2023  |  87

JPMorgan Short Duration Core Plus Fund (continued)
securities (or the unrated equivalent) under normal conditions. Up to 25% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in foreign securities including sovereign and agency debt.
The Fund seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less, although under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s duration may be longer than three years. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “three years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve).
The Fund may invest across the full range of market sectors. As of the date of this prospectus, ranges for certain broad market sectors are as follows. The Fund may change these ranges if the Fund’s adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Inc. determines in its discretion that the market environment has significantly changed.

The adviser will invest across the credit spectrum to provide the Fund exposure to various credit rating categories. Under normal conditions, at least 70% of the Fund’s net assets must be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade by a NRSRO or in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. The balance of the Fund’s assets are not required to meet any minimum quality rating although the Fund will not, under normal conditions, invest more than 30% of its net assets in below investment grade securities (or the unrated equivalent). Such securities may include so called “distressed debt”. Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries.
Up to 25% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in foreign securities. Foreign securities include securities issued by foreign governments or their agencies and instrumentalities and companies that are incorporated outside the United States, including securities from issuers in countries whose economies are less developed (emerging markets), but do not include col
lateralized loan obligations (CLOs) that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Such investments may include below investment grade securities or the unrated equivalent subject to the limitations on below investment grade securities described above. The Fund’s investments may include securities denominated in foreign currencies. Currently, the Fund anticipates at least 85% of the Fund’s net assets will be denominated in U.S. dollars or hedged back to U.S. dollars. However, from time to time, the Fund may have greater exposure to non-U.S. dollar investments to take advantage of market conditions.
The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at the adviser’s discretion. Mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities (interest-only or principal-only), commercial mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage pass-through securities. The Fund expects to invest no more than 25% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase. The Fund may also enter into “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts as tools in the management of portfolio assets. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In addition to the mortgage dollar rolls as described above, the Fund may utilize other relative value strategies involving credit derivatives on a single security or instrument or on indices of securities or instruments, combinations of derivatives, and combinations of derivatives and fixed income securities. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency derivatives such as currency forwards to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar or use such derivatives to gain or adjust exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
The adviser uses both a top down and bottom up research process as well as a combination of fundamental and quantitative inputs to allocate the Fund’s assets among a range of sectors. In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser looks for market sectors and individual securities that it believes will perform well over time. The adviser selects individual securities after performing a risk/reward analysis to address the Fund’s dual objective of seeking total return and preservation of capital. Such analysis includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, currency risk, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on fundamental credit analysis and the considerations described above, the adviser believes the issuer’s credit quality or the investment’s valuation will materially deteriorate or when the adviser
88  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

believes that there is better relative value available in the market in other investments. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of
this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith
July 1, 2023  |  89

JPMorgan Short Duration Core Plus Fund (continued)
and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayment than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to
reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Risk. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls involving mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs and other mortgage-backed securities. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Short sales of mortgage TBAs and engaging in mortgage dollar rolls may be subject to leverage risks as described under “Derivatives Risk.” In addition, mortgage dollar rolls may increase interest rate risk and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.
High Yield Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in securities that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the high yield market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the high yield instruments held by the Fund.
No active trading market may exist for some instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk may be more pronounced for the Fund. When instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or
90  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/ or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.
Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war,
greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
European Market Risk. The Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in Europe, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns, and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. The risk of investing in Europe may be heightened due to steps taken by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the European Union. On December 30, 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom signed the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”), an agreement on the terms governing certain aspects of the European Union’s and the United Kingdom’s relationship, many of which are still to be determined, including those related to financial services. Notwithstanding the TCA, significant uncertainty remains in the market regarding the ramifications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. The impact on the United Kingdom and European economies and the broader global economy could be significant, resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, impacts on arrangements for trading and on other existing cross-border cooperation arrangements (whether economic, tax, fiscal, legal, regulatory or otherwise), and in potentially lower growth for companies in the United Kingdom, Europe and globally, which could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. In addition, if one or more other countries were to exit the European Union or abandon the use of the euro as a currency, the value of investments tied to those countries or the euro could decline significantly and unpredictably.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, options, swaps and foreign currency transactions, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain
July 1, 2023  |  91

JPMorgan Short Duration Core Plus Fund (continued)
derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives can also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s Shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns.
Restricted Securities Risk. Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public resale unless registered under the applicable securities laws or that have a contractual restriction that prohibits or limits their resale. Restricted securities include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws, such as Rule 144A securities, and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued pursuant to Regulation S. Private placements are generally subject to strict restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. Restricted securities may be illiquid. The Fund may be unable to sell a restricted security on short notice
or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. It may be more difficult to determine a market value for a restricted security. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material non-public information about the issuer, the Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities. Certain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses.
Privately Placed Securities Risk. Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and the Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by the Fund may be restricted under federal securities laws. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such investments at a time when, or at a price at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.60% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R5 and Class R6 Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lend
ing, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 410% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund has an absolute return orientation which means that it is not managed relative to an index. The Fund attempts to achieve a positive total return in diverse market environments over time. In connection with this strategy, the Fund has flexibility to allocate its assets among a broad range of fixed income securities and derivatives as well as in a single or limited number of strategies/sectors including cash, money market instruments (including money market funds) and short-term investments. In particular, the Fund may invest all or substantially all of its assets in cash and short-term investments consistent with its absolute return orientation. Total return is a combination of capital appreciation and current income. “Strategic” in the Fund’s name means that the Fund, in addition to seeking current income as an element of total return, will also seek capital appreciation as an element of total return. The Fund may invest in a wide range of debt securities of issuers from the U.S. and other markets, both developed and emerging, as well as derivatives. Investments may be issued or guaranteed by a wide variety of entities including governments and their
July 1, 2023  |  95

JPMorgan Strategic Income Opportunities Fund (continued)
agencies, corporations, financial institutions and supranational organizations that the Fund believes have the potential to provide a high total return over time. The Fund may also invest in convertible securities, preferred securities, and equity securities that the adviser believes will produce income or generate return.
The Fund may also use futures contracts, options, swaps, and foreign currency transactions for hedging, risk management, or to attempt to increase income and gain to the Fund. Swaps may be structured as credit default swaps (CDSs) on individual securities or a basket or index of securities, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and price lock swaps.
The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in securities that are rated below investment grade (junk bonds) or the unrated equivalent.
The adviser uses the following six strategy/sector allocations in managing the Fund.
Cash — includes cash, money market instruments, and other short-term investments of high quality.
Rates management — includes traditional fixed income securities as well as derivatives to actively manage duration, yields and the effect changes in interest rates may have.
Credit securities — includes the full spectrum of investment and non-investment grade debt securities. Ordinarily, the Fund will invest no more than 75% of its total assets in credit securities.
Relative value strategies — includes fixed income relative value strategies such as credit-oriented trades, mortgage dollar rolls, derivatives, long/short strategies, and other combinations of fixed income securities and derivatives.
Foreign and emerging market securities — includes the full range of securities of issuers from developed and emerging markets. Ordinarily, the Fund will invest no more than 50% of its total assets in foreign and emerging market securities.
Non-traditional income — includes convertible securities, preferred securities, and equity stocks that the adviser believes will produce income or generate return. Ordinarily, the Fund will invest no more than 35% of its total assets in such securities.
In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser uses both security selection and derivatives to adjust allocations among each of the above strategies/sectors with an absolute return orientation. For each strategy/sector, sector specialists provide security research and recommendations to the lead portfolio managers. The Fund’s investments will not necessarily be allocated among all six strategies/sectors at any given time. Rather, the Fund uses a flexible asset allocation approach that permits the adviser to invest in a single strategy/sector or only a few strategies/sectors, consistent with the limitations identified above. Due to the Fund’s flexible allocation approach, the Fund’s risk exposure may vary and a risk associated with an individual strategy/sector may become more pronounced when the Fund utilizes a single strategy/sector or only a few
strategies/sectors. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund uses derivatives structured as futures, options, swaps and price locks as part of its rate management and relative value strategies and to gain or adjust exposure to markets, sectors, securities, and currencies. The Fund uses CDSs to initiate long exposures (overweights) in areas of the market that the adviser believes are attractively valued and short positions (underweights) in areas that the adviser believes are not attractive from a valuation perspective. In certain market environments, the Fund may use interest rate swaps and futures contracts to help protect its portfolio from interest rate risk. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency transactions including currency options and forward foreign currency contracts to hedge non-dollar investments or to establish or adjust exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
The Fund may also use derivatives either alone or in combination with securities as part of its “relative value” strategies. Relative value strategies seek to exploit pricing discrepancies between individual securities or market sectors. The Fund’s relative value strategies use combinations of securities and investments and include: (1) credit-oriented trades such as purchasing a CDS related to one bond or set of bonds and selling a CDS on a similar bond or set of bonds, (2) mortgage-dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date, (3) long/short strategies such as selling a bond with one maturity and buying a bond with a different maturity to take advantage of the yield/return between the maturity dates, and (4) other combinations of fixed income securities and derivatives.
The Fund may invest in mortgage-related securities issued by governmental entities, certain issuers identified with the U.S. government and private issuers. These may include investments in collateralized mortgage obligations, principal-only and interest-only stripped mortgage-backed securities and mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs. The Fund may also invest in asset-backed securities and structured investments issued by private issuers and issuers identified with the U.S. government. The Fund may also invest in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes.
96  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

The Fund may invest in a broad variety of securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities issued or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).
The Fund may enter into dollar rolls, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities including mortgage TBAs and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date. The Fund may also sell mortgage TBAs short.
The Fund may invest in loan assignments and participations (Loans), and commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments). Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. The Fund may invest in common shares or preferred shares of unaffiliated closed-end funds.
The Fund may invest any portion of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents.
The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) in order to gain exposure to particular foreign markets or asset classes. The ETFs in which the Fund may invest include registered investment companies that seek to track the performance of a particular market index or security. These indexes include not only broad-based market indexes but more specific indexes as well, including those relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries.
The Fund may invest in municipal securities and inflation-linked securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS).
The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund lending.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate Loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or
July 1, 2023  |  97

JPMorgan Strategic Income Opportunities Fund (continued)
magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, Loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and may be subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan and high yield markets. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans or high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans or high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans and high yield instruments held by the Fund.
High yield securities and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. No active trading market may exist for some Loans and other instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to
settle. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Certain Loans may not be considered securities under the federal securities laws and, therefore, investments in such Loans may not be subject to certain protections under those laws. In addition, the adviser may not have access to material non-public information to which other investors may have access.
Covenant Lite Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, Loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic,
98  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s Shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps, price locks, credit default swaps and foreign currency transactions, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that
significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Options Risk. There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets and even a well conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. Options may be volatile and there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option at any particular time, even if the contract is traded on an exchange. Exchanges may halt trading in options thereby making it impossible for the Fund to enter into or close out option positions and impairing the Fund’s access to assets held to cover such options positions. The Fund may also be at risk that counterparties entering into an option transaction will not fulfill their obligations, particularly when the Fund utilizes over-the-counter options.
Strategy Risk. The Fund may use relative value and other strategies that combine derivatives and/or securities to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure and credit and spread volatility. There is no guarantee that these strategies will succeed and their use may subject the Fund to greater volatility and loss. Relative value strategies involve complex securities transactions that involve risks in addition to direct investments in securities including leverage risk and the risks described under “Derivatives Risk”.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as
July 1, 2023  |  99

JPMorgan Strategic Income Opportunities Fund (continued)
changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Contingent convertible securities or CoCos are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, a Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the “resolution authority”) has determined that the issuer is not viable. Even though the Fund does not invest in common stock as a principal investment strategy, the Fund will be subject to increased equity market risk in the event that such securities are converted to equity. Coupon payments on contingent convertibles securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages, credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by government-related organization that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes are general obligations issued by a government-related organization or special purpose vehicle (SPV), respectively, and are unguaranteed. Unlike mortgage-backed securities, investors in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by a government-related organization have no recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. In addition, some or all of the mortgage default risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to the noteholder. There can be no assurance that losses will not occur on an investment. These investments are also subject to the risks described under “Prepayment Risk.” Below.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to
100  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Risk. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls involving mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs and other mortgage-backed securities. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Short sales of mortgage TBAs and engaging in mortgage dollar rolls may be subject to leverage risks as described under “Derivatives Risk.” In addition, mortgage dollar rolls may increase interest rate risk and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.
ETF and Other Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in ETFs and other investment companies, including common shares and preferred shares of closed-end funds. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The price movement of an ETF or closed end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. Certain ETFs and other underlying funds may not be actively managed. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by such funds when an actively managed fund would not do so. In addition, ETFs and closed-end investment companies may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio. If the Fund invests in closed-end investment companies, it may incur added expenses such as additional management fees and trading costs.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal security generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or hurt the ability to preserve capital and liquidity. Under some circumstances, municipal securities might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose.
Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities
such as TIPS are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. The Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
LIBOR Discontinuance or Unavailability Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure
July 1, 2023  |  101

JPMorgan Strategic Income Opportunities Fund (continued)
and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published, and we recommend that you consult your advisors to stay informed of any such developments. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund's investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Fund’s investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Fund and its investments.
Interfund Lending Risk. A delay in repayment to the Fund from a borrowing fund could result in lost opportunity costs. Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due. In the case of a default by a borrowing fund and to the extent that the loan is collateralized, the Fund could take possession of collateral that the Fund is not permitted to hold and, therefore, would be required to dispose of such collateral as soon as possible, which could result in a loss to the Fund.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class R5 Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index and the ICE BofAML 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index. The performance of the Class R6 Shares is based on the performance of the Class R5 Shares. Returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks to provide high total return.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.16%, 0.46% and 0.41% of the average daily net assets of Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or
reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for all Share Classes. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 483% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund has wide latitude to invest in all types of debt securities that the adviser believes have the potential to provide a high total return over time. As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in corporate bonds, U.S. treasury obligations and other U.S. government and agency securities, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities and structured investments. Mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may be structured as adjustable rate mortgage loans, collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities (interest-only or principal-only), commercial mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs. These securities may be of any maturity.
104  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-backed securities in the adviser’s discretion. The Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in sub-prime mortgage-related securities. The Fund may enter into dollar rolls, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities including mortgage TBAs and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date. The Fund may also sell mortgage TBAs short.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund uses derivatives structured as futures, options, swaps and price locks to help manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure and credit and spread volatility. Swaps may be structured as credit default swaps (CDSs) on individual securities, a basket or index of securities, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and price lock swaps. The Fund uses CDSs to initiate long exposures (overweights) in areas of the market that the adviser believes are attractively valued and short positions (underweights) in areas that the adviser believes are not attractive from a valuation perspective. In certain market environments, the Fund may use interest rate swaps and futures contracts to help protect its portfolio from interest rate risk. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency transactions including currency options and forward foreign currency contracts to hedge non-dollar investments or to establish or adjust exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
The Fund may also use derivatives either alone or in combination with securities as part of its “relative value” strategies. Relative value strategies seek to exploit pricing discrepancies between individual securities or market sectors. The Fund’s relative value strategies use combinations of securities and investments and include: (1) credit-oriented trades such as purchasing a CDS related to one bond or set of bonds and selling a CDS on a similar bond or set of bonds, (2) mortgage-dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date, (3) long/short strategies such as selling a bond with one maturity and buying a bond with a different maturity to take advantage of the yield/return between the maturity dates, and (4) other combinations of fixed income securities and derivatives.
Up to 35% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in foreign securities, including emerging markets debt securities. Up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in non-dollar denominated securities. Such investments may be issued or guaranteed by a wide variety of entities including governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, corporations, financial institutions and supranational organizations.
Under normal circumstances, 65% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade (or the unrated equivalent). Up to 35% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) including so called “distressed
debt”. Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries. The Fund may also invest in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality.
The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities. The Fund may also invest in inflation-linked debt securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) or issued by other entities such as corporations, foreign governments and other foreign issuers.
The Fund may invest in loan assignments and participations (Loans) and commitments to purchase loan assignments. Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans, but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets. As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest any portion of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents.
The adviser buys and sells investments for the Fund by analyzing both individual securities and different market sectors within broader interest rate, investment and sector themes established by the adviser’s macro team. The adviser looks for individual investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles based on a risk/reward evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met.
July 1, 2023  |  105

JPMorgan Total Return Fund (continued)
An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and
longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate Loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and price locks, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
106  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Strategy Risk. The Fund may use relative value and other strategies that combine derivatives and/or securities to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure and credit and spread volatility. There is no guarantee that these strategies will succeed and their use may subject the Fund to greater volatility and loss. Relative value strategies involve complex securities transactions that involve risks in addition to direct investments in securities including leverage risk and the risks described under “Derivatives Risk”.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other govern
ments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.
Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s Shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, Loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and may be subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan and high yield markets. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans or high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately
July 1, 2023  |  107

JPMorgan Total Return Fund (continued)
held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans or high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans and high yield instruments held by the Fund.
High yield securities and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. No active trading market may exist for some Loans and other instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to settle. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Certain Loans may not be considered securities under the federal securities laws and, therefore, investments in such Loans may not be subject to certain protections under those laws. In addition, the adviser may not have access to material non-public information to which other investors may have access.
Covenant Lite Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, Loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate.
Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayment than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
108  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Mortgage Dollar Roll Risk. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls involving mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs and other mortgage-backed securities. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Short sales of mortgage TBAs and engaging in mortgage dollar rolls may be subject to leverage risks as described under “Derivatives Risk.” In addition, mortgage dollar rolls may increase interest rate risk and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.
ETF and Other Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in ETFs and other investment companies, including common shares and preferred shares of closed-end funds. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The price movement of an ETF or closed end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. Certain ETFs and other underlying funds may not be actively managed. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by such funds when an actively managed fund would not do so. In addition, ETFs and closed-end investment companies may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio. If the Fund invests in closed-end investment companies, it may incur added expenses such as additional management fees and trading costs.
Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities such as TIPS are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index.
Options Risk. There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets and even a well conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. Options may be volatile and there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any
particular option at any particular time, even if the contract is traded on an exchange. Exchanges may halt trading in options thereby making it impossible for the Fund to enter into or close out option positions and impairing the Fund’s access to assets held to cover such options positions. The Fund may also be at risk that counterparties entering into an option transaction will not fulfill their obligations, particularly when the Fund utilizes over-the-counter options.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. The Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

JPMorgan Total Return Fund (continued)
The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class R5 Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index. The performance of Class R2 and Class R6 Shares is based on the performance of Class R5 Shares of the Fund prior to the inception of Class R2 and Class R6 Shares. The actual returns of Class R2 and Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R2 and Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks to provide long-term total return.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are not used by the Fund to calculate its net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.25%, 0.60% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R2, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or
reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for all Share Classes. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/24 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 45% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing opportunistically across different markets and sectors, based on the portfolio management team’s view of the markets and sectors. The Fund’s approach is flexible and it is not managed to or constrained by a benchmark. This allows the Fund to shift its allocations based on changing market conditions which may result in investing in a few or multiple markets and sectors. Total return in the Fund’s objective includes both current income and capital appreciation.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in debt investments. Debt investments include loan assignments and participations (Loans), commitments to purchase Loans, convertible securities, bonds, and all other
112  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

types of debt securities and debt instruments. Debt investments also include money market investment companies. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
The Fund is unconstrained by sectors and strategies. The Fund has broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of debt securities and instruments. As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate debt securities issued in both U.S. and foreign markets including emerging markets. These securities may include debt securities issued by governments and their agencies, supranational organizations, corporations, and banks. The Fund may also invest in equity securities as a principal strategy.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use fixed income, currency and credit derivatives.
Such derivatives may include futures contracts, options, swaps including credit default swaps, and forward contracts. The Fund may hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar through the use of derivatives including forward foreign currency contracts and other foreign currency transactions, but may not always do so. In addition to hedging non-dollar investments, the Fund may also use such derivatives for other hedging purposes (e.g., decreasing exposure to certain securities), to increase income and gain to the Fund and/or as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
The Fund may invest without limit in securities that are rated below investment grade (also known as junk bonds or high yield securities) by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (S&P), Fitch Rating (Fitch) or the equivalent by another national rating organization, or securities that are unrated but are deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. Below investment grade securities may include so-called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructuring or securities of issuer’s operating in troubled industries. Investment in distressed debt is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
A significant portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in asset-backed securities and mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities. Such securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. The Fund may also invest in structured investments and adjustable rate mortgage loans (ARMs). The Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in sub-prime mortgage-related securities.
The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).
The Fund may also invest in mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs. The Fund may enter into dollar rolls, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities including mortgage TBAs and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date. The Fund may also sell mortgage TBAs short.
The Fund may invest in inflation-linked debt securities including fixed and floating rate debt securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). The Fund may also invest in inflation-linked debt securities issued by other entities such as corporations, foreign governments and foreign issuers.
The Fund may invest in loan assignments and participations (Loans), and commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments). Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. The Fund may invest in municipal securities. The Fund may also invest in when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities, forward commitments, zero-coupon securities, pay-in-kind securities and deferred payment securities.
The Fund may also invest in convertible securities and preferred securities that the adviser believes will produce income or generate return.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser uses an opportunistic strategy and uses both security selection and derivatives to allocate its investments among strategies and sectors. For each strategy/sector, dedicated sector specialists provide security research and recommendations to the lead portfolio managers. Buy and sell decisions are based on fundamental, quantitative and technical research. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the
July 1, 2023  |  113

JPMorgan Unconstrained Debt Fund (continued)
Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors. The Fund uses a flexible asset allocation approach that permits the adviser to invest in only a small number of strategies/ sectors from time to time although the Fund intends to invest in at least two sectors under normal market conditions. While the Fund seeks to mitigate downside risk, the Fund’s risk exposure may vary due to the Fund’s flexible allocation approach and a risk associated with an individual strategy or type of investment may become more pronounced when the Fund utilizes a single strategy or type of investment or only a few strategies or types of investments.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not mitigate downside risk or achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or markets are not met. The adviser has great flexibility in selecting investments because the Fund is unconstrained by sectors and strategies. This increased flexibility may present greater investment risk than a Fund with more rigid investment restrictions because the success of the adviser’s portfolio selections is dependent upon a greater number of variables.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terror
ism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate Loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate Loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such increases. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
114  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, Loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and may be subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan and high yield markets. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans or high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans or high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans and high yield instruments held by the Fund.
High yield securities and Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. No active trading market may exist for some Loans and other instruments and certain investments may be subject to restrictions on resale. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to settle. The inability to dispose of the Fund’s securities and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for the Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, the Fund may have to reinvest in instruments with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for these instruments, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. Certain Loans may not be considered securities under the federal securities laws and, therefore, investments in such Loans may not be subject to certain protections under those laws. In addition, the adviser may not have access to material non-public information to which other investors may have access.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, options, swaps including credit default swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be particularly sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Certain derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations thereunder and legal and operational risk. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Strategy Risk. The Fund uses a flexible asset allocation approach which may result in the adviser focusing on only a few strategies, sectors or instrument types. Due to the Fund’s flexible allocation approach, the Fund’s risk exposure may vary and risk associated with an individual strategy, sector or instrument type may become more pronounced, particularly when the Fund utilizes only a few strategies or types of investments.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities.
July 1, 2023  |  115

JPMorgan Unconstrained Debt Fund (continued)
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss.
Foreign Issuer Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such foreign countries. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only (IOs) and principal-only (POs), are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayment than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities such as TIPS are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real
116  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index.
Convertible Securities Risk. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Contingent convertible securities or CoCos are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, a Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the “resolution authority”) has determined that the issuer is not viable. Even though the Fund does not invest in common stock as a principal investment strategy, the Fund will be subject to increased equity market risk in the event that such securities are converted to equity. Coupon payments on contingent convertibles securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal security generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or hurt the ability to preserve capital and liquidity. Under some circumstances, municipal securities might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Risk. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls involving mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs and other mortgage-backed securities. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may
be limited. Short sales of mortgage TBAs and engaging in mortgage dollar rolls may be subject to leverage risks as described under “Derivatives Risk.” In addition, mortgage dollar rolls may increase interest rate risk and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.
Zero-Coupon, Pay-In-Kind and Deferred Payment Securities Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment security is generally more volatile than the market value of, and is more likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates and credit quality than, other fixed income securities with similar maturities and credit quality that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero-coupon security accrue a portion of the discount at which the security was purchased as taxable income each year. The Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash to satisfy its requirement as a regulated investment company to distribute all of its net income (including non-cash income attributable to zero-coupon securities). These actions may reduce the assets to which the Fund’s expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce the Fund’s rate of return.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Options Risk. There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets and even a well conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. Options may be volatile and there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option at any particular time, even if the contract is traded on an exchange. Exchanges may halt trading in options thereby making it impossible for the Fund to enter into or close out option positions and impairing the Fund’s access to assets held to cover such options positions. The Fund may also be at
July 1, 2023  |  117

JPMorgan Unconstrained Debt Fund (continued)
risk that counterparties entering into an option transaction will not fulfill their obligations, particularly when the Fund utilizes over-the-counter options.
Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities (known as sovereign debt securities). These investments are subject to the risk of payment delays or defaults, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, large debt positions relative to the country’s economy or failure to implement economic reforms. There is no legal or bankruptcy process for collecting sovereign debt.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. The Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund Shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

More About the Funds
Additional Information About the Funds’ Investment Strategies
Each Fund described in this prospectus is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM). The principal types of securities and the main strategies that each Fund currently anticipates using are summarized in its Risk/Return Summary. Except as otherwise indicated, the strategies described below are principal investment strategies of each Fund. Where applicable, the following identifies other strategies that are not anticipated to be main strategies of but that may become more important to each Fund’s management in the future. Each Fund may utilize these investments and strategies to a greater or lesser degree in the future.
The frequency with which each Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions.
Credit Quality. Certain Funds may invest all, or are required to invest a certain percentage, of their investments in investment grade securities or the unrated equivalent, while other Funds may invest all or a portion of their investments in below investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities are also called “high yield bonds”, “junk bonds” and “non-investment grade bonds.” These securities generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories (for example, the equivalent of BB+ or lower). These securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a higher degree of risk.
A security’s quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade. 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. The Funds use the methodology described below to determine the credit quality of their investments.
JPMorgan Core Bond Fund, JPMorgan Core Plus Bond Fund, JPMorgan Global Bond Opportunities Fund, JPMorgan Government Bond Fund, JPMorgan Income Fund, JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund, JPMorgan Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund, JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund, JPMorgan Short Duration Core Plus Fund, JPMorgan Strategic Income Opportunities Fund, JPMorgan Total Return Fund and JPMorgan Unconstrained Debt Fund
For these Funds, investment grade securities are securities that have been determined to be investment grade (for example, the equivalent of BBB- or higher) based on ratings by the following NRSROs - Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (S&P), Fitch Ratings (Fitch), DBRS Morningstar, and Kroll and the following methodology. Securities that have received ratings from more than one of these NRSROs are considered investment grade if any one of the NRSROs has rated the security investment grade. If none of these NRSROs rate a security, the adviser must determine that it is of comparable quality to an investment grade security or a non-investment grade security, respectively, in order for such security to be treated as an investment grade or a non-investment grade security, respectively.
JPMorgan Corporate Bond Fund, JPMorgan Emerging Markets Debt Fund, JPMorgan Floating Rate Income Fund, JPMorgan Preferred and Income Securities Fund and JPMorgan High Yield Fund
For these Funds, investment grade securities are securities that have been determined to be investment grade (for example, the equivalent of BBB- or higher) based on ratings by the following NRSROs - Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (Moody’s), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (S&P) or Fitch Ratings (Fitch) and the following methodology. If all three of these NRSROs rate the security, the middle rating is used to determine whether the security is investment grade. If only two of the three NRSROs rate the security, the lower rating is used to determine whether the security is investment grade. If only one of the three NRSROs rates a security, that rating will be used to determine if the security is investment grade. If none of these NRSROs rate a security, the adviser must determine that it is of comparable quality to an investment grade security or a non-investment grade security, respectively, in order for such security to be treated as an investment grade or a non-investment grade security, respectively.
As indicated in the risk/return summaries, some of the Funds may invest in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities. “Sub-prime” loans, which have higher interest rates, are made to borrowers with low credit ratings or other factors that increase the risk for default. In generally, these borrowers have impaired or limited credit history.
Average Weighted Maturity. Some of the Funds have policies with respect to average weighted maturity as described in the risk/return summaries. Such Funds may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions. In addition, such Funds may shorten or lengthen their average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Average weighted maturity is the average of all the current maturities (that is, the term of the securities of the individual bonds in the Fund calculated so as to count most heavily those securities with the highest dollar value). Average weighted maturity is important to investors as an indication of a Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
120  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Usually, the longer the average weighted maturity, the more fluctuation in share price you can expect. Mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment of principal which can shorten the average weighted maturity of a Fund. Therefore, in the case of a Fund which holds mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and similar types of securities, the average weighted maturity of a Fund is equivalent to its weighted average life. Weighted average life is the average weighted maturity of the cash flows in the securities held by the Fund given certain prepayment assumptions.
Securities Lending. Each Fund may engage in securities lending to increase its income. Securities lending involves the lending of securities owned by a Fund to financial institutions such as certain broker-dealers in exchange for cash collateral. Each Fund will invest cash collateral in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates. The adviser or its affiliates will receive additional compensation from the affiliated money market funds on each Fund’s investment in such money market funds. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to receive amounts equivalent to distributions paid on the loaned securities as well as the return on the cash collateral investments. Upon termination of the loan, the Fund is required to return the cash collateral to the borrower plus any agreed upon rebate. Cash collateral investments will be subject to market depreciation or appreciation, and a Fund will be responsible for any loss that might result from its investment of cash collateral. If the adviser determines to make securities loans, the value of the securities loaned may not exceed 33 13% of the value of total assets of a Fund. Loan collateral (including any investment of that collateral) is not subject to the percentage limitations regarding a Fund’s investments described elsewhere in this prospectus. Securities lending is not a principal strategy of the Funds.
WHAT IS SECURITIES LENDING?
Securities lending involves the loan of securities to borrowers in exchange for cash collateral which a Fund may reinvest. During the
term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to receive amounts equivalent to distributions paid on the loaned securities as well as the
return on the cash collateral investments. Upon termination of the loan, the Fund is required to return the cash collateral to the
borrower plus an agreed upon rebate. Securities lending is not a principal strategy of any of the Funds.
Core Bond Fund
For purposes of the Fund’s fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds, a “bond” is a debt security with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance. Some examples of bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, a domestic or a foreign corporation or a municipality, securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by domestic and supranational banks, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, including principal-only and interest-only stripped mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, convertible bonds, stripped government securities and zero-coupon obligations.
The Fund’s average weighted maturity will ordinarily range between four and 12 years. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions and the Fund may shorten or lengthen its average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Because of the Fund’s holdings in asset-backed, mortgage-backed and similar securities, the Fund’s average weighted maturity is equivalent to the average weighted maturity of the cash flows in the securities held by the Fund given certain prepayment assumptions (also known as weighted average life).
The Fund may invest in bonds and other debt securities that are rated in the lowest investment grade category.
In addition, all securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation or a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities. The adviser may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities in the adviser’s discretion. The Fund expects to invest no more than 10% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase.
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. The adviser also integrates ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systemic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may
July 1, 2023  |  121

More About the Funds (continued)
be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund lending.
The Fund may engage in securities lending. The use of securities lending is not a principal strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may invest in loan participations and assignments (Loans) although the Fund does not currently use Loans as part of its principal investment strategy.
The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure, credit and spread volatility and to respond to volatile market conditions. Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. Although the use of derivatives is not a principal strategy of the Fund, the Fund may use futures contracts, options, and swaps from time to time to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund.
Core Plus Bond Fund
For purposes of the Fund’s fundamental policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in bonds, a “bond” is a debt security with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance. Some examples of bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, a domestic or a foreign corporation or a municipality, securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by domestic and supranational banks, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, convertible bonds, stripped government securities and zero-coupon obligations.
The Fund may invest in Loans and Unfunded Commitments. Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets. When the Fund acquires a loan assignment, the Fund typically will have a direct contractual relationship with the obligor; provided, however, the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent.
The Fund may invest a significant portion of all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at the adviser’s discretion. Mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities (interest-only or principal-only), commercial mortgage-backed securities, mortgage pass-through securities and cash and cash equivalents. The Fund expects to invest no more than 10% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase. The Fund may also enter into “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date.
Up to 25% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in foreign securities, including securities denominated in foreign currencies (some of which may be below investment grade securities). Foreign securities include securities issued by foreign governments or their agencies and instrumentalities and companies that are incorporated outside the United States, including securities from issuers in countries whose economies are less developed (emerging markets). The Fund’s investments in below investment grade securities or the unrated equivalent including below investment grade foreign securities will not, under normal circumstances, exceed more than 30% of the Fund’s total assets.
The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In addition to the mortgage dollar rolls as described above, the Fund may utilize other relative value strategies involving credit-oriented trades, combinations of derivatives, and combinations of derivatives and fixed income securities. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency derivatives such as currency forwards to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar or use such derivatives to gain or adjust exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
In addition to the investment strategies discussed above, the Fund may engage in securities lending. The Fund may use CPI-U swaps to hedge inflation risk associated with certain debt securities held by the Fund. These strategies are not principal investment strategies of the Fund. ETFs, which are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange, may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. Ordinarily, a Fund must limit its investments in a single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an exemptive rule that allows any fund to disregard these 5% and 10% limitations, subject to
122  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

certain conditions. ETFs that are not structured as investment companies as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not subject to these percentage limitations. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay or receive significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio when they purchase or sell their ETF shares, respectively. Investments in ETFs are not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The adviser allocates the Fund’s assets among a range of sectors based on strategic positioning and other tactical considerations. The Fund’s allocations will be reviewed and rebalanced periodically, if appropriate. Individual portfolio managers will be responsible for day-to-day investment management decisions on the assets that are allocated to their respective sleeves; provided, however, the remaining credit of the portfolio, excluding distressed debt, will be managed across the ratings continuum. In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser looks for market sectors and individual securities that it believes will perform well over time. The adviser selects individual securities after performing a risk/ reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, currency risk, legal provisions and the structure of the transactions. With respect to the high yield portion of the Fund, the adviser focuses on value in choosing securities for the Fund by looking at individual securities against the context of broader market factors. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund lending.
The Fund may utilize CLOs as an additional strategy.
Corporate Bond Fund
The Fund mainly invests in corporate bonds that are rated investment grade by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the Fund’s adviser to be of comparable quality. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in corporate bonds. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior notice of any change in this policy. A “corporate bond” is defined as a debt security issued by a corporation or non-governmental entity with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance. Some examples of corporate bonds include corporate debt securities, commercial paper, private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities, debt securities of REITS, and debt securities of MLPs, variable and floating rate instruments, when issued securities and delayed delivery securities, and zero coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities. Corporate bonds may include securities owned by government or quasi-government entities. Such ownership may be significant and allow such entities to control the issuer of a corporate bond. As part of its principal strategy, the Fund invests in corporate bonds structured as corporate debt securities, debt securities of REITs, and MLPs, public or private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities.
The Fund is managed relative to the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index (the benchmark). Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s duration is the duration of the benchmark, plus or minus one year. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “five years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 5% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). As of May 31, 2023, the duration of the benchmark was 7.15 years. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry, except that, to the extent that an industry represents 20% or more of the Fund’s benchmark at the time of investment, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in that industry.

More About the Funds (continued)
The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers. Such issuers may be in both developed and emerging markets although the Fund does not anticipate investing in emerging markets as a principal strategy. In addition, up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in securities rated below investment grade or unrated securities deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality (also known as junk bonds or high yield bonds) and securities denominated in foreign currencies (some of which may be below investment grade securities). The Fund’s investments in high yield securities may include so called “distressed debt”. Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries. The Fund seeks to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar, but may not always be able to do so.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps and currency derivatives as tools in the management of portfolio assets. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In particular, the Fund may invest in swaps structured as interest rate swaps to manage duration relative to the benchmark. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency derivatives such as currency forwards, futures and foreign exchange swaps to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar.
Although the Fund predominantly invests in corporate bonds, the Fund may also invest in U.S. Treasury securities including for cash management purposes and for duration management.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
Although not part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in bank obligations, commercial paper, convertible securities, loan assignments and participations (Loans), inflation-linked debt securities, municipal securities, obligations of supranational agencies, repurchase agreements, short-term funding agreements, variable and floating rate instruments, when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities and forward commitments, zero-coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities and emerging markets securities. Loans will typically consist of senior secured floating rate loans (Senior Secured Loans) but may also include unsecured loans, second lien loans, bridge loans or loans that are junior or subordinated (Junior Loans). Such Loans may be rated below investment grade or considered by the adviser to be below investment grade debt instruments (also known as “junk bonds,” “high yield securities” and “non-investment grade bonds”). Non-Investment Grade Loans will be included in calculating the amount of the Fund’s total assets that may be invested in securities rated below investment grade or unrated securities deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. Although the Fund predominantly invests in corporate bonds, the Fund may also invest in equity securities including common stock, preferred stock, trust preferreds and convertible securities, and government debt including U.S. government and agency obligations and sovereign debt obligations. In addition, the Fund may acquire and hold equity securities (or rights to acquire such securities) in connection with an amendment, waiver, conversion or exchange of fixed income securities, in connection with the bankruptcy or workout of a distressed fixed income securities, or upon the exercise of a right or warrant obtained on account of a fixed income security. The Fund may also use credit default swaps related to individual securities or indexes of securities to gain or limit exposure to such securities or to mitigate risk exposure. The Fund may be both a buyer and seller of credit default swaps.
The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) in order to gain exposure to particular asset classes including corporate bonds. ETFs, which are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange, may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. The Fund will limit its investments in a single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. The Fund is subject to a non-fundamental policy that, among other things, limits both the extent to which the Fund may invest in any single non-affiliated ETF and the extent to which the Fund may invest in non-affiliated ETFs in general, subject to certain exceptions. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay or receive significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio when they purchase or sell their ETF shares, respectively. Investments in ETFs are not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The adviser buys and sells investments for the Fund using a three part process that includes determining: (1) macro credit strategy, (2) sector strategy, and (3) security strategy. In establishing the Fund’s macro credit strategy, the adviser evaluates fundamental, technical and valuation factors, along with macro themes from the adviser’s broader fixed income team, to determine the view on risk for the Fund overall. In the second component of the process, the adviser evaluates sectors based on a blend of top down analysis, including relative value judgments, and bottom up fundamental analysis of companies and their respective sectors to determine sector weightings. The third component of the process focuses on an evaluation of individual companies based on
124  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

fundamental credit metrics, as well as a review of each company’s competitive environment, event risk and technical factors such as supply, liquidity of debt issued by the company and equity performance. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its security strategy, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals. Based on these three components, the adviser overweights and underweights its sector and security investments relative to the benchmark.
Additional Investment Strategies
Although not part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in common stock, common stock warrants and rights and a wide variety of debt instruments including brady bonds, commercial paper, convertible securities, inflation-linked debt securities, when-issued securities and delayed delivery securities, Sukuk, structured investments including CLNs, mortgage-backed securities and zero-coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities. Sukuk are certificates, similar to bonds, issued by the issuer to obtain an upfront payment in exchange for an income stream to be generated by certain assets of the issuer.
Emerging Markets Debt Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its Assets in emerging market debt investments. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund invests primarily in debt securities that it believes have the potential to provide a high total return from countries whose economies or bond markets are less developed (emerging markets). This designation currently includes most countries in the world except Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the U.S., the United Kingdom and most western European countries. The Fund invests in sovereign debt securities. Sovereign debt securities are securities that are issued or guaranteed by foreign sovereign governments or their agencies, authorities or political subdivisions or instrumentalities, and supranational agencies. The Fund may also invest in debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign corporations and foreign financial institutions.
The Fund may invest in mortgage pass-through securities eligible to be sold in the “to-be-announced” or TBA market (Mortgage TBAs). Mortgage TBAs provide for the forward or delayed delivery of the underlying instrument with settlement up to 180 days. Mortgage TBAs currently are not used as part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy. The term TBA comes from the fact that the actual mortgage-backed security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time the trade is made, but rather is announced 48 hours before the settlement date.
The Fund may sell mortgage TBAs short which does not involve borrowing a security. The Fund may also engage in short selling in which it must borrow a security it wants to sell short. These types of short selling are not currently principal investment strategies of the Fund.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps, and foreign currency derivatives to help manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure and credit and spread volatility. The Fund may hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar through the use of such derivatives, but may not always do so. In addition to hedging non-dollar investments, the Fund may use such derivatives to increase income and gain to the Fund and/or as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
In making investment decisions for the Fund, the adviser establishes overweight and underweight positions versus the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified based on weighted spread duration. Spread duration is the measure of the expected price sensitivity of a bond or group of bonds to changes in spreads. Spreads are measured by the difference in yield between bonds from a specific sector or country of bonds and U.S. Treasury securities. Generally, the prices of a bond from a specific sector or country of bonds will increase when spreads tighten and decrease when spreads widen. The adviser uses top down macroeconomic research to assess the general market conditions that may cause spreads to tighten or widen in the countries and sectors where the Fund invests. Based on this top down research, the adviser establishes overweight positions in countries and sectors that it believes are more likely to benefit from tightening spreads and underweight positions in countries and sectors that it believes are more likely to be negatively impacted by widening spreads, a process that is referred to as weighted spread duration.

More About the Funds (continued)
To implement these overweight and underweight positions, the adviser uses bottom up fundamental research to evaluate the relative attractiveness of the individual securities in each country and sector. The adviser is value oriented and this bottom up fundamental research is based on a quantitative assessment of an issuer’s cash flows, debt structure, debt ratios and profitability and a qualitative assessment of how each issuer will perform relative to other issuers in the country or sector. Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on the considerations described above, the adviser believes that there is better relative value available in the country or sector in securities of comparable quality, or when the adviser believes the issuer’s credit quality will deteriorate materially. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Although not part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in Sukuk. Sukuk are certificates, similar to bonds, issued by the issuer to obtain an upfront payment in exchange for an income stream to be generated by certain assets of the issuer.
Floating Rate Income Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in floating rate instruments including Loans, convertible securities, corporate bonds, preferred shares and other floating rate debt instruments. Floating rate instruments also include equity securities (or rights to acquire securities) that are structured to pay a floating rate of income and money market investment companies. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice of a change in the policy to invest at least 80% of its Assets in floating rate instruments. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
Generally, the Fund will not invest, at the time of investment, more than 40% of total assets in securities rated CCC+/Caa1 or lower or unrated securities deemed to be of equivalent quality to such securities.
The Fund generally invests in securities issued in U.S. dollars including U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign corporations and U.S. affiliates of foreign corporations. Up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in currencies in foreign and “emerging markets.” Generally, the Fund attempts to minimize currency exposure to foreign currencies through hedging.
Because of the nature of the Fund’s investments, the Fund may, from time to time, acquire securities and instruments related to its holdings that are issued in connection with amendments, waivers, conversions, exchanges, warrants, and rights offerings, as well as bankruptcy reorganizations and other financial or other corporate reorganizations (collectively, “Reorganizations”). These securities and instruments include the types of securities that the Fund invests in directly such as Loans, common stock, preferred stock, warrants and rights, corporate bonds, and notes. In connection with a company’s reorganization, the Fund, either alone or in conjunction with other creditors, may provide financing to a debtor-in-possession by investing in notes or making a loan to the company.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps, forwards and other foreign currency transactions in the management of portfolio investments. The Fund may also use such derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In particular, the Fund may use swaps structured as credit default swaps related to individual Loans or other securities or indexes of Loans or securities to gain or limit exposure to Loans and other securities, to mitigate risk exposure and manage cash flow needs. The Fund may be both a buyer and seller of credit default swaps. In addition, the Fund may use currency derivatives to hedge non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar.
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund through a value-oriented, bottom-up research process that utilizes fundamental credit analysis to identify favorable and unfavorable risk/reward opportunities across sectors, industries and structures while minimizing credit risk. Such fundamental credit analysis includes focusing on the issuer’s underlying business prospects, capital requirements, capital structure, collateral, covenants, enterprise value, liquidity and management. The adviser strives to mitigate credit risk with research of sectors and issuers and will search for opportunities in inefficient sectors of the market where credit ratings have not caught up with fundamentals. The adviser’s fundamental analysis will be complemented by its macroeconomic insights as they relate to factors such as default rates and capital market liquidity. In addition to traditional fundamental credit and valuation analysis for distressed debt investments, the adviser focuses on identifying the cause (or potential causes) of a company’s distress
126  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

and identifying catalysts that drive value creation and downside risk. To assess downside risk and upside potential of a particular investment, the adviser generally focuses on analyzing the potential volatility of a company’s enterprise value relative to the leveraged market value of the prospective or current investment. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its credit analysis, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Additional Investment Strategies
In addition to the types of securities the Fund invests in directly as part of its principal strategy, the Fund may acquire other types of securities and instruments related to its holdings that are issued in connection with Reorganizations such as PIK notes, zero-coupon notes, and private placements. The Fund may invest in ETFs in order to gain exposure to Loans or to manage liquidity. ETFs, which are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange, may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. Ordinarily, a Fund must limit its investments in a single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an exemptive rule that allows any fund to disregard these 5% and 10% limitations, subject to certain conditions. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay or receive significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio when they purchase or sell their ETF shares, respectively.
Global Bond Opportunities Fund
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing across sectors in developed and emerging markets located around the world. The Fund is flexible and opportunistic. Because the Fund is not managed to a benchmark, the adviser has broad discretion to shift the Fund’s exposure to strategies, sectors, countries or currencies based on changing market conditions and its view of the best mix of investment opportunities. In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser allocates the Fund’s exposure to strategies, sectors, countries, and currencies based on the adviser’s analysis of individual investments and broader economic conditions in individual countries, regions and the world. This allows the adviser to take a conservative approach during uncertain periods and move into higher risk opportunities as market conditions improve, which may result in the Fund focusing in only a few markets and sectors. The Fund’s focus may change from time to time. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior notice of any change in this policy. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. A “bond” is defined as a debt security with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance. Some examples of bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, a domestic or a foreign corporation or a municipality, securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or
July 1, 2023  |  127

More About the Funds (continued)
guaranteed by domestic and supranational banks, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, including principal-only and interest-only stripped mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, convertible bonds, stripped government securities and zero-coupon obligations.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in countries other than the United States (Non-U.S. Countries) unless the adviser determines, in its sole discretion, that conditions are not favorable. If the adviser determines that conditions are not favorable, the Fund may invest under 40% of its total assets in Non-U.S. Countries provided that the Fund will not invest less than 30% of its total assets in Non-U.S. Countries under normal circumstances except for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in developed or emerging markets. Emerging markets currently includes most countries in the world except Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the U.S., the United Kingdom and most western European countries and Hong Kong. In managing the Fund, the adviser will invest in issuers in at least three countries other than the U.S. under normal circumstances. The Fund may invest a substantial part of its assets in just one country and is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries. Currently, the Fund anticipates that it will invest no more than 50% of its total assets in non-dollar denominated securities but may invest more from time to time to take advantage of market conditions.
Although the Fund has the flexibility to invest without limit in securities that are rated below investment grade (also known as junk bonds or high yield securities), or the unrated equivalent, the Fund generally invests at least 25% of the Fund’s total assets in investments that, at the time of purchase are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent. The Fund has flexibility to decrease the percentage of assets invested in investment grade securities at any time to take advantage of higher risk opportunities when market conditions are improving.
The Fund has broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of debt securities and instruments. The Fund currently seeks to maintain a duration of eight years or less, although the Fund has the flexibility to maintain a longer duration under certain market conditions such as significant volatility in interest rates and spreads. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate debt securities issued in developed and emerging markets. These securities may include debt securities issued by governments and their agencies, state and provincial governmental entities, supranational organizations, corporations, and banks.
The Fund may also use currency-related transactions involving currency derivatives as part of its primary investment strategy. A derivative is an instrument that has a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use currency derivatives including foreign forward currency contracts (including non-deliverable forwards) and currency options for hedging or to gain or manage exposure to currencies or securities. The adviser has flexibility to significantly increase the Fund’s exposure to securities or currencies through the use of currency derivatives. The Fund is not required to hedge its non-dollar investment back to the U.S. dollar through the use of derivatives but may do so from time to time as part of its strategy.
In addition to currency derivatives, the Fund may use other fixed income and credit derivatives including futures contracts, options, and swaps (including credit default swaps). The Fund may use derivatives as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may also use derivatives for hedging purposes (for example, to take synthetic short positions to decrease exposure to certain securities, markets or currencies), to seek to increase gain to the Fund and/or as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
A significant portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in asset-backed, mortgage-related, and mortgage-backed securities. Such securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured such that payments consist of interest-only (IO), principal-only (PO) or principal and interest. The Fund may also invest in structured investments including CLNs for which the reference instrument is an emerging markets or developed markets debt instrument, adjustable rate mortgage loans (ARMs), and custodial receipts. The Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities.
The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The Fund may invest in mortgage pass-through securities eligible to be sold in the “to-be-announced” or TBA market (Mortgage TBAs). Mortgage TBAs provide for the forward or delayed delivery of the underlying instrument with settlement up to 180 days. The term TBA comes from the fact that the actual mortgage-backed security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time the trade is made, but rather is announced 48 hours before the settlement date. The Fund may sell mortgage TBAs short as part of its principal investment strategy which does not involve borrowing a security.
The Fund may invest in inflation-linked debt securities including fixed and floating rate debt securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). The Fund may also invest in inflation-linked debt securities issued by other entities such as corporations, foreign governments and foreign issuers.
128  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

The Fund may also invest in synthetic variable rate instruments, when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities, forward commitments, zero-coupon securities, pay-in-kind securities, inverse floating rate securities, short-term funding agreements, and deferred payment securities.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
Additional Investment Strategies
Although not part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in preferred shares, convertible securities, common stock and commodity-related derivatives. With respect to common stock, the Fund may invest in common stock directly or in connection with the conversion of convertible securities or in connection with the reorganization and restructuring of an issuer.
Although not a principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in loan assignments and participations (Loans), and commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments). Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior and bridge loans (Junior Loans). The Fund may also invest from time to time in municipal securities and brady bonds.
The Fund may engage in short selling in which it must borrow a security it wants to sell short. This type of short selling is not currently a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may use CPI-U swaps to hedge inflation risk associated with certain debt securities held by the Fund. The use of CPI-U swaps is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) in order to gain exposure to particular markets including foreign and emerging markets or asset classes. Such ETFs may include actively managed ETFs and passively managed ETFs. Passively managed ETFs are registered investment companies that seek to track the performance of a particular market index or security. These indexes include not only broad-based market indexes but more specific indexes as well, including those relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Investments in ETFs are not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may also originate loans, in which the Fund may lend money directly to an obligor by investing in limited liability companies that make loans directly to obligors. In addition, although not part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in Sukuk. Sukuk are certificates, similar to bonds, issued by the issuer to obtain an upfront payment in exchange for an income stream to be generated by certain assets of the issuer.
As indicated in the Fund summary, the Fund may invest in “subprime” mortgage-related securities. “Sub-prime” loans, which have higher interest rates, are made to borrowers with low credit ratings or other factors that increase the risk for default. In general, these borrowers have impaired or limited credit history.
The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions.
Government Bond Fund
The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and related to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund may also invest in securities which are guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities so long as such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
The Fund mainly invests in government bonds as defined below with intermediate to long remaining maturities. These include mortgage-backed securities, including those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-backed securities in the adviser’s discretion.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in government bonds including bonds issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days prior notice of any change of this policy. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days prior notice of any change of this policy. For purposes of the Fund’s policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in government bonds under normal circumstances, a “government bond” is a debt instrument with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance and with principal and interest guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities, as well as stripped government securities and mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, including principal-only and interest-only stripped mortgage-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations. Ordinarily, such bonds will have principal and interest guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, be subject to repurchase agreements, or represent an interest in or be secured by mortgages that are issued or guaranteed by certain U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities.

More About the Funds (continued)
The Fund’s average weighted maturity will ordinarily range between three and 15 years, taking into account expected prepayment of principal on certain investments. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions and the Fund may shorten or lengthen its average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Because of the Fund’s holdings in mortgage-backed and similar securities, the Fund’s average weighted maturity is equivalent to the average number of years for which each dollar of unpaid principal on a loan or mortgage securing mortgage-backed and similar securities remains outstanding given certain prepayment assumptions (also known as weighted average life).
The Fund’s adviser has flexibility with respect to the Fund’s duration. Currently, the Fund’s adviser aims to maintain a duration of between 5.00 and 5.50 years over the long term, although the Adviser has the flexibility to maintain a longer or shorter duration when it believes it is advisable to do so. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve).
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its evaluation of credit risk, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund lending.
Additional Investment Strategies
The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives including futures contracts, options, and swaps in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. Derivatives, which are instruments which have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. In particular, the Fund may use futures contracts including treasury futures, options and swaps to manage cash inflows and duration and as substitutes for securities in which the Fund may invest.
The Fund may engage in securities lending. The use of securities lending is not a principal strategy of the Fund.
High Yield Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in bonds, other debt securities, loan assignments and participations (Loans), commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments) and preferred stocks that are rated below investment grade or unrated. The Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days prior notice of any change of this policy. For purposes of this policy, “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
A “bond” is a debt security with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, a domestic or a foreign corporation or a municipality, securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by domestic and supranational banks, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, convertible bonds, stripped government securities and zero-coupon obligations.
Up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in other securities, including investment grade securities. The Fund’s average weighted maturity ordinarily will range between three and ten years, although the Fund may shorten its weighted average maturity to as little as two years if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions.
130  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

The Fund may invest no more than 30% of its net assets in Loans and Unfunded Commitments. Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets. When the Fund acquires a loan assignment, the Fund typically will have a direct contractual relationship with the obligor; provided, however, the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent.
The Fund may invest up to 100% of the Fund’s total assets in below investment grade or unrated securities. Such securities are also known as “junk bonds,” “high yield bonds” and “non- investment grade bonds.” Such securities may include so called “distressed debt”. Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries. All securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation, government or its agencies and instrumentalities.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options and swaps to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In particular, the Fund may invest in swaps structured as credit default swaps related to individual Loans or other securities or indexes of Loans or other securities to gain exposure to such Loans and other securities, to mitigate risk exposure or to manage cash flow needs.
Although the Fund predominantly invests in debt securities and income producing securities, it may also invest in common stock from time to time. In addition, the Fund may acquire and hold such securities (or rights to acquire such securities) in connection with an amendment, waiver, conversion or exchange of fixed income securities, in connection with the bankruptcy or workout of distressed fixed income securities, or upon the exercise of a right or warrant obtained on account of a fixed income security.
The adviser focuses on value in buying and selling securities for the Fund by looking at individual securities against the context of broader market factors. For each issuer, the adviser performs an in-depth analysis of the issuer, including business prospects, management, capital requirements, capital structure, enterprise value and security structure and covenants. In addition, the adviser monitors investments on an ongoing basis by staying abreast of positive and negative credit developments expediting the review of the Fund’s investments that are considered to be the most risky. Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on fundamental credit analysis and the considerations described above, the adviser believes the issuer’s credit quality will deteriorate materially or when the adviser believes that there is better relative value available in the market in securities of comparable quality. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its credit analysis, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
The Fund may engage in securities lending. The use of securities lending is not a principal strategy of the Fund.
Income Fund
The Fund has broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of debt securities and instruments of any maturity. The Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate debt securities issued in both U.S. and foreign and emerging markets. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. dollar denominated securities, although the Fund may also invest in non-dollar denominated securities. The Fund currently anticipates that it will invest no more than 10% of its total assets in non-dollar denominated securities, although, from time to time, the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in non-dollar denominated securities to take advantage of market conditions.
In connection with managing volatility, the Fund seeks to maintain a duration of ten years or less, although, under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s duration may be longer than ten years. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). The yield curve shows the relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar bonds.

More About the Funds (continued)
Although the Fund has the flexibility to invest above 65% of its total assets in investments that are rated below investment grade (also known as junk bonds or high yield securities) or the unrated equivalent to take advantage of market opportunities, under normal market conditions the Fund invests at least 35% of its total assets in investments that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade or better.
Below investment grade securities may include so-called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries.
A significant portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities and mortgage-backed securities. Such securities may be structured as CMOs and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured such that payments consist of IO, PO or principal and interest. The Fund also may invest in inverse floaters and inverse IOs, which are debt securities with interest rates that reset in the opposite direction from the market rate to which the security is indexed. The Fund may also invest in structured investments and ARMs. The Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in sub-prime mortgage-related securities.
The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Fund may also invest in custodial receipts.
The Fund may also invest in mortgage pass-through securities including securities eligible to be sold on the “to-be-announced” or TBA market (mortgage TBAs). Mortgage TBAs provide for the forward or delayed delivery of the underlying instrument with settlement up to 180 days. The term TBA comes from the fact that the actual mortgage-backed security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time the trade is made, but rather is announced 48 hours before the settlement date.
The Fund may enter into dollar rolls, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities including mortgage TBAs and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date. The Fund may also sell mortgage TBAs short. This strategy does not involve borrowing a security.
The Fund may invest in inflation-linked debt securities including fixed and floating rate debt securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, such as TIPS. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of TIPS are adjusted periodically to the CPI-U. The Fund may also invest in inflation-linked debt securities issued by other entities such as corporations, foreign governments and foreign issuers. The Fund may invest in Loans and Unfunded Commitments. The Loans in which the Fund may invest will typically consist of senior floating rate loans, but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets. When the Fund acquires a loan assignment, the Fund typically will have a direct contractual relationship with the obligor; provided, however, the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent.
The Fund may also invest in convertible securities and preferred stock that the adviser believes will produce income or generate return. The Fund also may use bank obligations, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, custodial receipts, inverse floating rate instruments, municipal securities, private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities, REITs, short-term funding agreements, when-issued securities, delayed delivery securities and forward commitments, and zero-coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities. The securities in which the Fund invests may include debt securities issued by governments and their agencies, supranational organizations, corporations, and banks.
The Fund has flexibility to utilize derivatives and at times, use of such derivatives may be a principal strategy. Derivatives are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. Derivatives will be used primarily for hedging, including duration hedging, but may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. Such derivatives may include futures contracts, options, swaps including interest rate and credit default swaps and forward contracts. The Fund may also use derivatives for other hedging purposes (e.g., decreasing or increasing exposure to certain securities), to increase income and gain to the Fund, as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular securities, markets or currencies and/or to manage cash flows. The Fund may be both a buyer and a seller of credit default swaps.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) in order to gain exposure to particular markets including foreign and emerging markets or asset classes. ETFs, which are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange, may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries.
132  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. Ordinarily, a Fund must limit its investments in a single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an exemptive rule that allows any fund to disregard these 5% and 10% limitations, subject to certain conditions. ETFs that are not structured as investment companies as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not subject to these percentage limitations. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay or receive significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio when they purchase or sell their ETF shares, respectively. Investments in ETFs are not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser uses a flexible, opportunistic approach that combines strategy and sector rotation (asset allocation). Strategy rotation refers to the shifting of investment among the multiple debt markets in which the Fund may invest. Sector rotation refers to the shifting of investments from one or more sectors (for example, high yield) into one or more other sectors (for example, emerging markets). For each strategy/sector, dedicated specialists provide security research and recommendations to the lead portfolio managers. Buy and sell decisions are based on fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis, including the expected potential to generate income. As part of its risk management strategy, the adviser typically will invest in multiple strategies/sectors, but, as part of the Fund’s opportunistic strategy, the adviser has flexibility to invest in a single or small number of strategies/sectors from time to time. Due to the Fund’s flexible asset allocation approach, the Fund’s risk exposure may vary and a risk associated with an individual strategy or type of investment may become more pronounced when the Fund utilizes a single strategy or type of investment or only a few strategies or types of investments. Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis and the considerations described above, the adviser believes the issuer’s credit quality will deteriorate materially or when the adviser believes that there is better relative value available in the market in securities of comparable quality. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Additional Investment Strategies
Although the Fund predominantly invests in debt securities and income producing securities, it may also invest in common stock from time to time. In addition, the Fund may acquire and hold such securities (or rights to acquire such securities) in connection with an amendment, waiver, conversion or exchange of fixed income securities, in connection with the bankruptcy or workout of distressed fixed income securities, or upon the exercise of a right or warrant obtained on account of a fixed income security.
While the Fund typically invests in debt and income producing securities, the Fund may also originate loans, in which the Fund may lend money directly to a borrower or obligor by investing in limited liability companies that make loans directly to borrowers or obligors.
Limited Duration Bond Fund
The Fund mainly invests in mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, adjustable rate mortgages, money market instruments, and structured investments. These investments may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage pass-through securities. These securities may be structured such that payments consist of IO, PO or principal and interest.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice of a change in the policy to invest at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. For purposes of the Fund’s policy to invest 80% of its assets in bonds under normal circumstances, a “bond” is a debt security with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance. Some examples of bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, a domestic or a foreign

corporation or a municipality, securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by domestic and supranational banks, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, including principal-only and interest-only stripped mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, convertible bonds, stripped government securities and zero-coupon obligations.
The Fund seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less, although, under certain market conditions, such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s duration may be longer than three years. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a “duration of three years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). Information concerning the Fund’s duration can be found at www.jpmorganfunds.com.
The Fund invests in fixed and floating rate debt securities representing an interest in or secured by residential mortgage loans. These securities often are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. However, the Fund may also purchase mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities that are issued by non-governmental entities. Such securities may or may not have private insurer guarantees of timely payments.
Securities purchased by the Fund will be rated investment grade (or the unrated equivalent) at the time of purchase. In addition, all securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation, a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at the adviser’s discretion. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase.
The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure, credit and spread volatility and to respond to volatile market conditions. Derivatives, which are instruments which have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, and swaps in connection with its principal strategies in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund.
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles.

The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Mortgage-Backed Securities Fund
For purposes of the fundamental policy that at least 65% of the Fund’s total assets will consist of bonds, a “bond” is a debt security with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, a domestic or a foreign corporation or a municipality, securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by domestic and supranational banks, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, convertible bonds, stripped government securities and zero-coupon obligations.
The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in mortgage-backed securities in the adviser’s discretion. The Fund expects to invest no more than 10% of its assets in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase. All securities will be U.S. dollar-denominated although they may be issued by a foreign corporation or a U.S. affiliate of a foreign corporation or a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities.
The Fund also may invest in other types of non-mortgage related debt securities, including U.S. government securities, asset-backed securities, taxable or tax-exempt municipal securities and corporate debt securities.
134  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

The Fund’s average weighted maturity will normally range between two and ten years. The Fund may have a longer or shorter average weighted maturity under certain market conditions and the Fund may shorten or lengthen its average weighted maturity if deemed appropriate for temporary defensive purposes. Because of the Fund’s holdings in asset-backed, mortgage-backed and similar securities, the Fund’s average weighted maturity is equivalent to the average weighted maturity of the cash flows in the securities held by the Fund given certain prepayment assumptions (also known as weighted average life).
The Fund may engage in securities lending. The use of securities lending is not a principal strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may invest in loan participations and assignments (Loans) although the Fund does not currently use Loans as part of its principal investment strategy.
The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure, credit and spread volatility and to respond to volatile market conditions. Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, and swaps from time to time to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund although the use of such derivatives is not a principal strategy of the Fund.

The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Preferred and Income Securities Fund
The Fund mainly invests in preferred and debt securities believed to be attractively valued relative to credit quality and other investment characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in preferred and debt securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and obligors, including traditional preferred securities, hybrid preferred securities that have investment and economic characteristics of both preferred stock and debt securities, floating rate preferred securities, corporate debt securities, convertible securities, CoCos and securities of other open-end or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest primarily in preferred and/or debt securities. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. However, the Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days prior notice of any change in this policy.
Preferred securities (also known as traditional preferred securities) are typically perpetual and equity-like in nature. They may be issued by corporate or non-corporate issuers and pay fixed or floating rate dividends. While hybrid preferred securities have characteristics similar to preferred securities, such securities are generally structured as debt securities that rank senior to traditional preferred securities but subordinate to senior debt holders. Hybrid preferred securities may be issued by corporate or non-corporate issuers and pay fixed or floating coupon rates. The issuer may be permitted to defer interest payment, although during the deferral period, interest may accrue on the securities. Hybrid preferred securities also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
The Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in the financials sector which includes, among other industries, banking, diversified financials, real estate (including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and insurance industries. The Fund has a fundamental policy to concentrate its investments in an industry or group of industries which includes the banking, diversified financials, real estate (including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)) and insurance industries. This means that the Fund will invest 25% or more of its total assets in these related industries on a combined basis and may invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one of these four industries individually.
The Fund may invest in securities in both U.S. and foreign markets. The Fund has discretion to focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries including both U.S. and foreign markets including European markets. In addition, the Fund may invest a significant amount of its assets in securities rated below investment grade or unrated securities deemed by the adviser to be
July 1, 2023  |  135

More About the Funds (continued)
of comparable quality (also known as junk bonds or high yield bonds) and securities denominated in foreign currencies (some of which may be below investment grade securities). The Fund’s investments in high yield securities may include so-called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries.
As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the adviser seeks to manage distributions throughout the year to help reduce fluctuations in monthly dividends. As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in securities structured as equity or debt securities of MLPs, private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities, sovereign obligations, trusts preferreds, U.S. Government Agency Securities and Obligations, variable and floating rate instruments, and zero-coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps, credit derivatives and currency derivatives as tools in the management of portfolio assets. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In particular, the Fund may invest in futures and swaps structured as interest rate swaps and total return swaps for duration or hedging purposes or to gain or limit exposure to securities or markets. In addition, the Fund may use swaps structured as credit default swaps related to individual securities indexes of securities to gain or limit exposure to securities, to mitigate risk exposure, and manage cash flows. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency derivatives such as currency forwards, futures, and foreign exchange swaps to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar, but may not always do so.
As part of its principal investment strategy and for temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents.
Investment Process – The adviser buys and sells investments for the Fund using a three part process that includes determining: (1) macro credit strategy, (2) sector strategy, and (3) security strategy. In establishing the Fund’s macro credit strategy, the adviser evaluates fundamental, technical and valuation factors, along with macro themes from the adviser’s broader fixed income team, to determine the view on risk for the Fund overall. In the second component of the process, the adviser evaluates sectors based on a blend of top down analysis, including relative value judgments, and bottom up fundamental analysis of companies and their respective sectors to determine sector weightings. The third component of the process (also known as the security strategy) focuses on an evaluation of individual companies based on fundamental credit metrics, as well as a review of each company’s competitive environment, regulatory risks, bond structure and credit ranking, event risk, relative value and technical factors such as supply, liquidity of debt issued by the company and equity performance, as applicable. As part of its security strategy, the adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. In applying ESG Integration in the evaluation of individual companies, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of ESG factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Additional Investment Strategies
Although not currently part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in asset-backed securities, bank obligations, commercial paper, common stock, inflation-linked debt securities, inverse floating rate instruments, mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities, municipal securities, obligations of supranational agencies, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, short-term funding agreements, structured investments, and when-issued, delayed delivery securities and forward commitments. The Fund also invests in auction rate securities as an additional strategy. To the extent that the market for auction rate securities rebounds or develops, the Fund may use such securities as a principal strategy.

Short Duration Bond Fund
As part of its main investment strategy, the Fund may principally invest in U.S. treasury obligations, U.S. government agency securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, mortgage-related securities and structured instruments. These investments may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), commercial mortgage-backed securities and mortgage pass-through securities. U.S. government agency securities may be issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in bonds. The Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days prior notice of any change of this policy. For purposes of the Fund’s policy to invest 80% of its Assets in bonds under normal circumstances, a “bond” is a debt security with a maturity of 90 days or more at the time of its issuance. Some examples of bonds include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, a domestic or a foreign corporation or a municipality, securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by domestic and supranational banks, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, including principal-only and interest-only stripped mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, convertible bonds, stripped government securities and zero-coupon obligations.
The Fund seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less, although under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s duration may be longer than three years. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “three years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). Consistent with the Fund’s short duration strategy, the Fund’s effective average weighted maturity ordinarily will be three years or less taking into account expected amortization and prepayment of principal on certain investments.
Up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in preferred stock.
The Fund may invest in bonds and other debt securities that are rated in the lowest investment grade category.
The Fund may engage in securities lending. The use of securities lending is not a principal strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may invest in loan participations and assignments (Loans) although the Fund does not currently use Loans as part of its principal investment strategy.
The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. The adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure, credit and spread volatility and to respond to volatile market conditions. Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, and swaps from time to time to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund, although the use of such derivatives is not a principal strategy of the Fund.
Short Duration Core Plus Fund
Consistent with the Fund’s dual objective of seeking total return and preservation of capital, the Fund uses a multi-sector strategy in order to create a diversified portfolio that generates total return while managing risk. The Fund principally invests in traditional fixed income sectors (for example, investment grade corporate bonds), while also having the flexibility to allocate its assets to extended sectors such as below investment grade securities (also known as high yield or junk bonds) and foreign and emerging markets debt. The Fund may invest in corporate bonds, U.S. treasury obligations and other U.S. government and agency securities, asset-backed,

More About the Funds (continued)
mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, mortgage TBAs, private placements, restricted securities and other unregistered securities, and variable and floating rate instruments. Under normal conditions, at least 70% of the Fund’s net assets must be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade by a NRSRO or in securities that are unrated but deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund will not invest more than 30% of its net assets in below investment grade securities (or the unrated equivalent) under normal conditions. Up to 25% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in foreign securities including sovereign and agency debt.
The Fund seeks to maintain a duration of three years or less, although under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s duration may be longer than three years. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of “three years” means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve).
The Fund may invest across the full range of market sectors. As of the date of this prospectus, ranges for certain broad market sectors are as follows. The Fund may change these ranges if the adviser determines in its discretion that the market environment has significantly changed.

The adviser will invest across the credit spectrum to provide the Fund exposure to various credit rating categories. Under normal conditions, at least 70% of the Fund’s net assets must be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade by a NRSRO or in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. The balance of the Fund’s assets are not required to meet any minimum quality rating although the Fund will not, under normal conditions, invest more than 30% of its net assets in below investment grade securities (or the unrated equivalent). Such securities may include so called “distressed debt”. Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries.
Up to 25% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in foreign securities. Foreign securities include securities issued by foreign governments or their agencies and instrumentalities and companies that are incorporated outside the United States, including securities from issuers in countries whose economies are less developed (emerging markets), but do not include collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Emerging markets currently include most countries in the world except Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, and most western European countries. Securities and instruments tied economically to an emerging market include: (i) securities of issuers that are organized under the laws of an emerging markets country or that maintain principal place of business in an emerging markets country; (ii) securities that are traded principally in an emerging markets country; (iii) securities of issuers that, during the issuer’s most recent fiscal year, derived at least 50% of their revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in an emerging markets country; or (iv) securities or other instruments that expose the Fund to the economic fortunes and risks of one or more emerging market countries. Such investments may include below investment grade securities or the unrated equivalent subject to the limitations on below investment grade securities described above. The Fund’s investments may include securities denominated in foreign currencies. Currently, the Fund anticipates at least 85% of the Fund’s net assets will be denominated in U.S. dollars or hedged back to U.S. dollars. However, from time to time, the Fund may have greater exposure to non-U.S. dollar investments to take advantage of market conditions.
The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities at the adviser’s discretion. Mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities (interest-only or principal-only), commercial mortgage-backed securities, and
138  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

mortgage pass-through securities. The Fund expects to invest no more than 25% of its assets in “subprime” mortgage-related securities at the time of purchase. The Fund may also enter into “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date.
In addition to direct investments in securities, derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps and forward contracts as tools in the management of portfolio assets. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge various investments, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. In addition to the mortgage dollar rolls as described above, the Fund may utilize other relative value strategies involving credit derivatives on a single security or instrument or on indices of securities or instruments, combinations of derivatives, and combinations of derivatives and fixed income securities. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency derivatives such as currency forwards to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar or use such derivatives to gain or adjust exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
The adviser uses both a top down and bottom up research process as well as a combination of fundamental and quantitative inputs to allocate the Fund’s assets among a range of sectors. In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser looks for market sectors and individual securities that it believes will perform well over time. The adviser selects individual securities after performing a risk/reward analysis to address the Fund’s dual objective of seeking total return and preservation of capital. Such analysis includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity, currency risk, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on fundamental credit analysis and the considerations described above, the adviser believes the issuer’s credit quality or the investment’s valuation will materially deteriorate or when the adviser believes that there is better relative value available in the market in other investments. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on certain issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Additional Investment Strategies
The Fund may utilize loan assignments and participations (Loans), debt securities of master limited partnerships (MLP), exchange-traded funds, inflation-linked and inflation-protected securities, inverse floaters, municipal securities, preferred shares, real estate investment trusts (REITs) repurchase agreements, structured investments, when-issued securities, delayed settlement securities and forward commitments, and zero-coupon, pay-in-kind securities and deferred payment securities as additional strategies. ETFs that are used in lieu of securities for the market sectors identified in the Market Sector Table are included in the ranges in the Market Sector table. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index.
The Fund may invest in “sub-prime” mortgage-related securities. “Sub-prime” loans, which have higher interest rates, are made to borrowers with low credit ratings or other factors that increase the risk for default. In general, these borrowers have impaired or limited credit history. Sub-prime mortgage-related securities may be considered to be investment grade if rated by a NRSRO or deemed to be of equivalent quality to investment grade securities by the adviser.
Strategic Income Opportunities Fund
The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in securities that are rated below investment grade (junk bonds) or the unrated equivalent. Securities rated below investment grade may include so called “distressed debt”. Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries.

More About the Funds (continued)
The Fund may hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar through the use of derivatives including forward foreign currency contracts, but may not always do so. In addition to hedging non-dollar investments, the Fund may also use such derivatives to increase income and gain to the Fund and/or as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser uses both security selection and derivatives to adjust allocations among each of the above strategies/sectors with an absolute return orientation. For each strategy/sector, sector specialists provide security research and recommendations to the lead portfolio managers. The Fund’s investments will not necessarily be allocated among all six strategies/sectors at any given time. Rather, the Fund uses a flexible asset allocation approach that permits the adviser to invest in a single strategy/sector or only a few strategies/sectors, consistent with the limitations identified above. Due to the Fund’s flexible allocation approach, the Fund’s risk exposure may vary and a risk associated with an individual strategy/sector may become more pronounced when the Fund utilizes a single strategy/sector or only a few strategies/sectors. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
The Fund may invest in mortgage-related securities issued by governmental entities, certain issuers identified with the U.S. government and private issuers. These may include investments in collateralized mortgage obligations and principal-only and interest-only stripped mortgage-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in asset-backed securities and structured investments issued by private issuers and issuers identified with the U.S. government. The Fund may also invest in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by government-related organizations. As an additional strategy, the Fund may invest in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by private issuers.
The Fund may invest in a broad variety of securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The Fund may invest in mortgage pass-through securities eligible to be sold in the “to-be-announced” or TBA market (Mortgage TBAs). Mortgage TBAs provide for the forward or delayed delivery of the underlying instrument with settlement up to 180 days. The term TBA comes from the fact that the actual mortgage-backed security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time the trade is made, but rather is announced 48 hours before the settlement date.
The Fund may sell mortgage TBAs short as part of its principal investment strategy which does not involve borrowing a security. The Fund also may engage in short selling in which it must borrow a security it wants to sell short. This second type of short selling is not currently a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may enter into dollar rolls, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities including mortgage TBAs and at the same time contracts to buy back very similar securities on a future date.
The Fund may invest in Loans and Unfunded Commitments. Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets. When the Fund acquires a loan assignment, the Fund typically will have a direct contractual relationship with the obligor; provided, however, the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. The Fund may also originate loans, in which the Fund would lend money directly to an obligor by investing in limited liability companies or corporations that make loans directly to obligors. As of the date of this prospectus, originating loans is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may invest in ETFs in order to gain exposure to particular foreign markets or asset classes. ETFs, which are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange, may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. Ordinarily, a Fund must limit its investments in a single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an exemptive
140  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

rule that allows any fund to disregard these 5% and 10% limitations, subject to certain conditions. ETFs that are not structured as investment companies as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not subject to these percentage limitations. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay or receive significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio when they purchase or sell their ETF shares, respectively.
The Fund may invest in common shares or preferred shares of unaffiliated closed-end funds, including business development companies (BDCs). The Fund will limit its investments in a single closed-end fund, including BDCs, to 5% of its total assets and in all registered investment companies, including closed-end funds (other than money market funds), to 10% of its total assets. The use of BDCs is not considered to be a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund lending.
Additional Investment Strategies
In addition to the investment strategies discussed above, the Fund may use CPI-U swaps to hedge inflation risk associated with certain debt securities held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in debt instruments or equity securities structured as event-driven, event-linked or insurance-linked notes or catastrophe bonds (collectively, “catastrophe bonds”) and related instruments such as insurance side cards (collectively with catastrophe bonds “Insurance-Linked Securities”). The use of these investments are not principal investment strategies of the Fund.
The Fund may also invest in pooled investment vehicles including ETFs that are not registered investment companies or commodity pools.
Total Return Fund
The Fund has wide latitude to invest in all types of debt securities that the adviser believes have the potential to provide a high total return over time. As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in corporate bonds, U.S. treasury obligations and other U.S. government and agency securities, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities and structured investments. Mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may be structured as adjustable rate mortgage loans, collateralized mortgage obligations (agency and non-agency), stripped mortgage-backed securities (interest-only or principal-only), commercial mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs. These securities may be of any maturity.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund uses derivatives structured as futures, options, swaps and price locks to help manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure and credit and spread volatility. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve), Swaps may be structured as credit default swaps (CDSs) on individual securities, a basket or index of securities, interest rate swaps, total return swaps and price lock swaps. The Fund uses CDSs to initiate long exposures (overweights) in areas of the market that the adviser believes are attractively valued and short positions (underweights) in areas that the adviser believes are not attractive from a valuation perspective. In certain market environments, the Fund may use interest rate swaps and futures contracts to help protect its portfolio from interest rate risk. The Fund may also utilize foreign currency transactions including currency options and forward foreign currency contracts to hedge non-dollar investments or to establish or adjust exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.
Up to 35% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in foreign securities, including emerging markets debt securities. Up to 25% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in non-dollar denominated securities. Such investments may be issued or guaranteed by a wide variety of entities including governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, corporations, financial institutions and supranational organizations.
Under normal circumstances, 65% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade (or the unrated equivalent). Up to 35% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) including so called “distressed debt”. Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial

restructurings or securities of issuers operating in troubled industries. The Fund may also invest in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality. The Fund may also invest in securities that are unrated but are deemed by the adviser to be of comparable quality.
The Fund may invest in mortgage-related securities issued by governmental entities, certain issuers identified with the U.S. government and private issuers. These may include investments in adjustable rate mortgage loans, collateralized mortgage obligations and principal-only and interest-only stripped mortgage-backed securities. The Fund may invest in mortgage-related securities issued by governmental entities, certain issuers identified with the U.S. government and private issuers.
The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities including U.S. Treasury securities, treasury receipts and obligations and securities issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The Fund may also invest in inflation-linked debt securities of varying maturities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities such as TIPS or issued by other entities such as corporations, foreign governments and other foreign issuers.
The Fund may invest in Loans and Unfunded Commitments. Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans, but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets. When the Fund acquires a loan assignment, the Fund typically will have a direct contractual relationship with the obligor; provided, however, the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent.
The Fund may invest any portion of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents. See “Temporary Defensive and Cash Positions” for a definition of “Cash Equivalents.”
The Fund may invest in mortgage pass-through securities eligible to be sold in the “to-be-announced” or TBA market (Mortgage TBAs). Mortgage TBAs provide for the forward or delayed delivery of the underlying instrument with settlement up to 180 days. The term TBA comes from the fact that the actual mortgage-backed security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time the trade is made, but rather is announced 48 hours before the settlement date.
The Fund may sell mortgage TBAs short as part of its principal investment strategy which does not involve borrowing a security. The Fund may also engage in short selling in which it must borrow a security it wants to sell short. This second type of short selling is not currently a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The adviser buys and sells investments for the Fund by analyzing both individual securities and different market sectors within broader interest rate, investment and sector themes established by the adviser’s macro team. The adviser looks for individual investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles based on a risk/reward evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, legal provisions and the structure of the transaction. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its security selection process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
Additional Investment Strategies
The Fund may invest in common shares or preferred shares of unaffiliated closed-end funds, including BDCs. The Fund will limit its investments in a single closed-end fund, including BDCs, to 5% of its total assets and in all registered investment companies, including closed-end funds (other than money market funds), to 10% of its total assets.
The Fund may invest in ETFs in order to gain exposure to particular foreign markets or asset classes. ETFs, which are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange, may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. Ordinarily, a Fund must limit its investments in a single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an exemptive rule that allows any fund to disregard these 5% and 10% limitations, subject to certain conditions. ETFs that are not structured as investment companies as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not subject to these percentage limitations. The Fund may also invest in pooled investment vehicles including ETFs that are not registered investment companies or commodity pools. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a

price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay or receive significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio unless they purchase or sell their ETF shares, respectively.
The Fund also may use CPI-U swaps to hedge inflation risk associated with certain debt securities held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in debt instruments or equity securities structured as event-driven, event-linked or insurance-linked notes or catastrophe bonds (collectively, “catastrophe bonds”) and related instruments such as insurance side cards (collectively with catastrophe bonds “Insurance-Linked Securities”).
The Fund may also invest in equity securities. The use of equity securities is not a principal strategy of the Fund. The strategies described in this section are not principal investment strategies of the Fund.
Unconstrained Debt Fund
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing opportunistically across different markets and sectors, based on the portfolio management team’s view of the markets and sectors. The Fund’s approach is flexible and it is not managed to or constrained by a benchmark. This allows the Fund to shift its allocations based on changing market conditions which may result in investing in a few or multiple markets and sectors. Total return in the Fund’s objective includes both current income and capital appreciation.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in debt investments. Debt investments include loan assignments and participations (Loans), commitments to purchase Loans, convertible securities, bonds, and all other types of debt securities and debt instruments. Debt investments also include money market investment companies. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days notice of a change in the policy to invest at least 80% of its Assets in debt investments.
The Fund may invest in loan assignments and participations (Loans), and commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments). Loans will typically consist of senior floating rate loans (Senior Loans), but may also include secured and unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior (Junior Loans) and bridge loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets. When the Fund acquires a loan assignment, the Fund typically will have a direct contractual relationship with the obligor; provided, however, the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent.
As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate debt securities issued in both U.S. and foreign markets including emerging markets.
Emerging markets currently includes most countries in the world except Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the U.S., the United Kingdom and most western European countries. A security will deemed to be an emerging markets security if: (1) the issuer is organized under the laws of, or has a principal place of business in an emerging market; or (2) the principal listing of the issuer’s securities is in a market that is in an emerging market; or (3) the issuer derives at least 50% of its total revenues or profits from goods that are produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in an emerging market; or (4) the issuer has at least 50% of its assets located in an emerging market.
The Fund may invest in preferred shares and convertible securities as part of its principal investment strategies. Although not part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may acquire common stock directly or in connection with the conversion of convertible securities or in connection with the reorganization and restructuring of an issuer. Ordinarily, the Fund will invest no more than 25% of its total assets in preferred shares, common stock, and convertible securities.
The Fund may sell mortgage TBAs short as part of its principal investment strategy which does not involve borrowing a security. The Fund may also engage in short selling in which it must borrow a security it wants to sell short. This second type of short selling is not currently a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may also be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use fixed income, currency and credit derivatives. Such derivatives may include futures contracts, options, swaps including credit default swaps, and forward contracts. The Fund may hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar through the use of derivatives including forward foreign currency contracts and other foreign currency transactions, but may not always do so. In addition to hedging non-dollar investments, the Fund may also use such derivatives for other hedging purposes (e.g., decreasing exposure to certain securities), to increase income and gain to the Fund and/or as part of its risk management process by establishing or adjusting exposure to particular foreign securities, markets or currencies.

More About the Funds (continued)
The Fund may invest in ETFs in order to gain exposure to particular markets including foreign and emerging markets or asset classes. ETFs, which are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange, may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. Ordinarily, a Fund must limit its investments in a single ETF to 5% of its total assets and in all ETFs and other investment companies to 10% of its total assets. The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted an exemptive rule that allows any fund to disregard these 5% and 10% limitations, subject to certain conditions. ETFs that are not structured as investment companies as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not subject to these percentage limitations. The price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay or receive significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio. Investments in ETFs are not a principal investment strategy of the Fund when they purchase or sell their ETF shares, respectively.
Below investment grade securities may include so-called “distressed debt.” Distressed debt includes securities of issuers experiencing financial or operating difficulties, securities where the issuer has defaulted in the payment of interest or principal or in the performance of its covenants or agreements, securities of issuers that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations or financial restructuring or securities of issuer’s operating in troubled industries. Investment in distressed debt is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
In buying and selling investments for the Fund, the adviser uses an opportunistic strategy and uses both security selection and derivatives to allocate its investments among strategies and sectors. For each strategy/sector, dedicated sector specialists provide security research and recommendations to the lead portfolio managers. Buy and sell decisions are based on fundamental, quantitative and technical research. The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process (ESG Integration). ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers or countries in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive and securities of issuers or countries that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers or countries that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
In addition to the investment strategies discussed above, the Fund may use CPI-U swaps to hedge inflation risk associated with certain debt securities held by the Fund. The use of CPI-U swaps is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may also originate loans, in which the Fund may lend money directly to an obligor by investing in limited liability companies that make loans directly to obligors. The use of loan originations is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
Please note that the Funds also may use strategies that are not described in this section, but which are described in the “Investment Practices” section later in the prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information.
FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES
A Fund’s investment strategy may involve “fundamental policies.” A policy is fundamental if it cannot be changed without the

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Funds' portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes, due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other

governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of a Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which a Fund invests. The effects of this, or any future, pandemic to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to a Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic that affect the instruments in which a Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Interest Rate Risk. Each Fund invests in debt securities that change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of these investments generally increases. Your investment will decline in value if the value of these investments decreases. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Funds may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly or as much as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. The Funds may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes or uncertainty in monetary policy.
Debt market conditions are highly unpredictable and some parts of the market are subject to dislocations. Beginning in March 2022, the Federal Reserve Board began increasing interest rates and has signaled the possibility of further increases. It is difficult to accurately predict the pace at which the Federal Reserve Board will increase interest rates any further, or the timing, frequency or magnitude of any such increases, and the evaluation of macro-economic and other conditions could cause a change in approach in the future. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. There is a risk that issuers and/or counterparties will not make payments on securities, repurchase agreements or other investments held by a Fund. The risk of defaults across issuers and/or counterparties increases in adverse market and economic conditions, including the conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Such defaults could result in losses to a Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by a Fund may be lowered if an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in Shares of a Fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult for the Fund to sell the security. The Funds, except the Government Bond Fund, may invest in securities that are rated in the lowest investment grade category. Such securities also are considered to have speculative characteristics similar to high yield securities, and issuers or counterparties of such securities are more vulnerable to changes in economic conditions than issuers or counterparties of higher grade securities. Prices of the Funds' investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Funds' securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. Asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities and are subject to certain additional risks because principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, during such periods and also under normal conditions, these securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. Gains and losses associated with prepayments will increase or decrease a fund’s yield and the income available for distribution by a Fund. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, a Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. In periods of rising interest rates, a Fund may exhibit additional volatility. Some of these securities may receive little or no collateral protection from the underlying assets and are thus subject to the risk of default described under “Credit Risk.” The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of asset-backed, mortgage-backed and mortgage-related investments that include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages (which are loans made to borrowers with low credit ratings or other factors that increase the risk of
148  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

default), credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by government-related organizations and private issuers. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
The mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may not be subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have government or government-sponsored entity guarantees. As a result, the mortgage loans underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk or other underwriting characteristics than government or government-sponsored mortgage-related securities that have wider variances in a number of terms including interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. In addition, certain mortgage-related securities which may include loans that originally qualified under standards established by government-sponsored entities (for example, certain REMICs that include Fannie Mae mortgages) are not considered as government securities for purposes of a Fund’s investment strategies or policies. There is no government or government-sponsored guarantee for such privately issued investments.
Certain Funds may invest in CMOs. CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. CMOs are issued in multiple classes, and each class may have its own interest rate and/or final payment date. A class with an earlier final payment date may have certain preferences in receiving principal payments or earning interest. As a result, the value of some classes in which a Fund invests may be more volatile and may be subject to higher risk of non-payment.
Credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes are general obligations issued by a government-related organization or special purpose vehicle (SPV), respectively, and are unguaranteed. Unlike mortgage-backed securities, investors in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by a government-related organization have no recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. In addition, some or all of the mortgage default risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to the noteholder. There can be no assurance that losses will not occur on an investment. These investments are also subject to the risks described under “Prepayment Risk,” below.
The values of IO and PO mortgage-backed securities are more volatile than other types of mortgage-related securities. They are very sensitive not only to changes in interest rates, but also to the rate of prepayments. A rapid or unexpected increase in prepayments can significantly depress the price of IO securities, while a rapid or unexpected decrease could have the same effect on PO securities. In addition, because there may be a drop in trading volume, an inability to find a ready buyer, or the imposition of legal restrictions on the resale of securities, these instruments may be illiquid.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, a Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. A Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Inverse Floater Risk. Inverse floaters and inverse interest-only (IOs) are debt securities structured with interest rates that reset in the opposite direction from the market rate to which the security is indexed. Generally, interest rates on these securities vary inversely with a short-term floating rate (which may be reset periodically). They are more volatile and more sensitive to interest rate changes than other types of debt securities. Interest rates on inverse floaters and inverse IOs will decrease when the rate to which they are indexed increases, and will increase when the rate to which they are indexed decreases. In response to changes in market interest rates or other market conditions, the value of an inverse floater or inverse IO may increase or decrease at a multiple of the increase or decrease in the value of the underlying securities. If interest rates move in a manner not anticipated by the adviser, a Fund could lose all or substantially all of its investment in inverse IOs.
Derivatives Risk. Certain Funds may use derivatives in connection with their investment strategies. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed a Fund’s original investment. Derivatives are subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to a Fund, and the cost of such strategies may reduce a Fund’s returns. Certain derivatives also expose a Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations, (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, a Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. In addition, a Fund may use derivatives for non-hedging purposes, which increases a Fund’s potential for loss.
July 1, 2023  |  149

More About the Funds (continued)
Certain of a Fund’s transactions in futures, swaps, foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in a Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose a Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuations.
The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of a Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Derivatives can also expose a Fund to liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Investing in derivatives and engaging in short sales will result in a form of leverage. Leverage involves special risks. A Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because leverage tends to exaggerate any effect of the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. A Fund cannot assure you that the use of leverage will result in a higher return on your investment, and using leverage could result in a net loss on your investment. Registered investment companies such as the Funds are limited in their ability to engage in derivative transactions.
In addition to the risks associated with derivatives in general, a Fund will also be subject to risks related to swap agreements. Because swap agreements are not exchange-traded, but are private contracts into which a Fund and a swap counterparty enter as principals, a Fund may experience a loss or delay in recovering assets if the counterparty defaults on its obligations.
WHAT IS A DERIVATIVE?
Derivatives are securities or contracts (for example, futures and options) that derive their value from the performance of underlying
assets or securities.
Zero-Coupon, Pay-In-Kind and Deferred Payment Securities Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment security is generally more volatile than the market value of, and is more sensitive to changes in interest rates and credit quality than, other fixed income securities with similar maturities and credit quality that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero-coupon security accrue a portion of the discount at which the security was purchased as taxable income each year even though the holder receives no interest payments on the note during the year. A Fund must distribute substantially all of its net income (including non-cash income attributable to zero-coupon securities) to its shareholders each year to maintain its status as a regulated investment company and to eliminate tax at the Fund level. Accordingly, such accrued discount must be taken into account in determining the amount of taxable distributions to shareholders. A Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash to satisfy such distribution requirements. These actions may reduce the assets to which a Fund’s expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce a Fund’s rate of return.
In addition, (1) the higher yields and interest rates on certain pay-in-kind securities (PIK) reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and such investments may represent a significantly higher credit risk than coupon loans; (2) PIK securities may have higher price volatility because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral; (3) PIK interest has the effect of generating investment income and (4) the deferral of PIK interest may also reduce the loan-to-value ratio at a compounding rate.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to special risks in addition to those of U.S. investments. These risks include political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely.
Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund's ability to buy and sell securities. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental actions such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign investing in their capital markets or in certain
150  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies and financial markets in other countries or regions. A reduction in trading in securities of issuers located in countries whose economies are heavily dependent upon trading with key partners may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s investments.
Securities registration, custody, and settlement may in some instances be subject to delays and legal and administrative uncertainties. Foreign investment in the securities markets of certain foreign countries is restricted or controlled to varying degrees. These restrictions or controls may at times limit or preclude investment in certain securities and may increase the costs and expenses of a Fund. In addition, the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities from certain of the countries is controlled under regulations, including in some cases the need for certain advance government notification or authority, and if a deterioration occurs in a country’s balance of payments, the country could impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances. A Fund also could be adversely affected by delays in, or a refusal to grant, any required governmental approval for repatriation, as well as by the application to it of other restrictions on investment.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. The risks associated with foreign securities are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” These countries may have relatively unstable governments and less-established market economies than developed countries. Emerging markets may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. These risks make emerging market securities more volatile and less liquid than securities issued in more developed countries and you may sustain sudden, and sometimes substantial, fluctuations in the value of your investments. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, a Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging markets countries, which can increase the risks of loss. A Fund’s investments in foreign and emerging market securities may also be subject to foreign withholding taxes and/or other taxes, which would decrease the Fund’s yield on those securities. Emerging markets are more likely than developed markets to experience problems with the clearing and settling of trades, as well as the holding of securities by local banks, agents, and depositories.
Foreign Issuer Risk. Some of the Funds invests in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers. Although these securities are not subject to all of the risks summarized in “Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk,” they may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, and regulatory issuers facing issuers in such foreign countries.
Geographic Focus Risk. The Funds may focus their investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Funds' performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund and may be subject to the risks facing certain regions.
Government Securities Risk. Certain Funds invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to a Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. U.S. government securities include zero-coupon securities, which tend to be subject to greater market risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.
High Yield Securities Risk. Some of the Funds may invest in high yield, high risk securities (also known as junk bonds) which are considered to be speculative. These investments may be issued by companies which are highly leveraged, less credit-worthy or financially distressed. Non-investment grade debt securities can be more sensitive to short-term corporate, economic and market developments. During periods of economic uncertainty and change, the market price of a Fund’s investments and a Fund’s NAV may be volatile. Furthermore, though these investments generally provide a higher yield than higher-rated debt securities, the high

degree of risk involved in these investments can result in substantial or total losses. These securities are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties, and a potential lack of a secondary or public market for securities. The market price of these securities can change suddenly and unexpectedly. As a result, certain Funds are intended for investors who are able and willing to assume a high degree of risk.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the high yield market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing high yield securities, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing high yield securities or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the high yield securities issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the high yield instruments held by a Fund.
As part of its high yield strategy, a Fund may invest in debt securities of smaller, newer companies. A Fund’s risks increase as it invests more heavily in smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies). The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. In addition, smaller companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, the changes in value of their debt securities may be more sudden or erratic than in large capitalization companies, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of a Fund’s investments.
Inflation-Linked and Inflation-Protected Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decrease when real interest rates increase and can increase when real interest rates decrease. Interest payments on inflation-linked securities are unpredictable and will fluctuate as the principal and interest are adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though a Fund will not receive the principal until maturity.
There can also be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. A Fund’s investments in inflation-linked securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. In addition, inflation-linked securities are subject to the risk that the CPI-U or other relevant pricing index may be discontinued, fundamentally altered in a manner materially adverse to the interests of an investor in the securities, altered by legislation or Executive Order in a materially adverse manner to the interests of an investor in the securities or substituted with an alternative index.
Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of a Fund’s securities and may affect the price of a Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of a Fund. A Fund may engage in various strategies to hedge against currency risk. These strategies may consist of use of forward currency contracts including non-deliverable forward contracts and foreign currency futures contracts. To the extent a Fund enters into such transactions in markets other than in the United States, a Fund may be subject to certain currency, settlement, liquidity, trading and other risks similar to those described in this prospectus with respect to a Fund’s investments in foreign securities. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s hedging activities will be effective, and a Fund will incur costs in connection with the hedging. Currency hedging may limit a Fund’s return if the relative values of currencies change. Furthermore, a Fund may only engage in hedging activities from time to time and may not necessarily be engaging in hedging activities when movements in currency exchange rates occur.
Loan Risk. Some of the Funds may invest in Loans including Loans that are rated below investment grade or the unrated equivalent. Like other high yield, corporate debt instruments, such Loans are subject to an increased risk of default in the payment of principal and interest as well as the other risks described under “Interest Rate Risk,” “Credit Risk,” “High Yield Securities Risk,” and “Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk.” Although certain Loans are secured by collateral, a Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. Loans are vulnerable to market sentiment such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for Loans and cause their value to decline rapidly and unpredictably. Although the Fund limits its investments in illiquid securities to no more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets at the time of purchase, Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid.

In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in the Loan market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans held by a Fund.
No active trading market may exist for some of the Loans and certain Loans may be subject to restrictions on resale. The inability to dispose of Loans in a timely fashion could result in losses to a Fund. In addition, the settlement period for Loans is uncertain as there is no standardized settlement schedule applicable to such investments. Certain Loans may take more than seven days to settle. Because some Loans that a Fund invests in may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for a Fund than for funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. Typically, Loans are not registered securities and are not listed on any national securities exchange. Consequently, there may be less public information available about a Fund’s investments and the market for certain Loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods. As a result, a Fund may be more dependent upon the analytical ability of its adviser.
When a Fund acquires a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations, but not the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the seller of the loan participation and any other parties interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. Under a loan participation, a Fund may have no direct rights to enforce the terms of the loan against the borrower. A Fund may not benefit directly from the collateral supporting the load in which it has purchased the loan participations or assignments.
Affiliates of the adviser may participate in the primary and secondary market for Loans. Because of limitations imposed by applicable law, the presence of the adviser’s affiliates in the Loan market may restrict a Fund’s ability to acquire some Loans, affect the timing of such acquisition or affect the price at which the Loan is acquired. Also, because the adviser may wish to invest in the publicly traded securities of an obligor, it may not have access to material non-public information regarding the obligor to which other investors have access. A Fund will not have direct recourse against the issuer of a loan participation.
Loans are subject to prepayment risks. Gains and losses associated with prepayments will increase or decrease a Fund’s yield and the income available for distribution by a Fund. When Loans are prepaid, a Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for Loans, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.
Covenant Lite Loan Risk. A Fund may invest in Loans that are “covenant lite” or obtain exposure to such Loans through structured investments. Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years.
In recent years, there has been a broad trend of weaker or less restrictive covenant protections in both the Loan market. Among other things, under such weaker or less restrictive covenants, borrowers might be able to exercise more flexibility with respect to certain activities than borrowers who are subject to stronger or more protective covenants. For example, borrowers might be able to incur more debt, including secured debt, return more capital to shareholders, remove or reduce assets that are designated as collateral securing Loans, increase the claims against assets that are permitted against collateral securing Loans or otherwise manage their business in ways that could impact creditors negatively. In addition, certain privately held borrowers might be permitted to file less frequent, less detailed or less timely financial reporting or other information, which could negatively impact the value of the Loans issued by such borrowers. Each of these factors might negatively impact the Loans held by the Fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, certain Funds may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that a Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of a Fund’s Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.

More About the Funds (continued)
Transactions and Liquidity Risk. A Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests, and its liquidity may be negatively impacted. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities a Fund wishes to, or is required to, sell are illiquid. To the extent a large proportion of shares of a Fund are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder) including funds or accounts over which the adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem Fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the adviser or its affiliates. In addition to the other risks described in this section, these transactions could adversely affect the ability of a Fund to conduct its investment program. A Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at its desired time or price or the price at which the securities have been valued for purposes of the Fund’s net asset value. Illiquidity can be caused by a drop in overall market trading volume, an inability to find a ready buyer, or legal restrictions on the securities’ resale. Other market participants may be attempting to sell debt securities at the same time as a Fund, causing downward pricing pressure and contributing to illiquidity. The capacity for bond dealers to engage in trading or “make a market” in debt securities has not kept pace with the growth of bond markets. This could potentially lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the debt markets. Liquidity and valuation risk may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment, when credit quality is deteriorating or in other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal. Certain securities that were liquid when purchased may later become illiquid, particularly in times of overall economic distress. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Large redemptions also could accelerate the realization of capital gains, increase a Fund’s transaction costs and impact a Fund’s performance.
Short Selling Risk. Some of the Funds may enter into short sales of certain securities and must borrow the securities to make delivery to the buyer. A Fund may not always be able to borrow a security it wants to sell short. A Fund also may be unable to close out an established short position at an acceptable price, and may have to sell long positions at disadvantageous times to cover its short positions. Furthermore, taking short positions in securities results in a form of leverage. Leverage involves special risks described under “Derivatives Risk.” A Fund’s loss on a short sale is potentially unlimited because there is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investment in larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of debt or equity issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other securities, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of a Fund’s investments.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for a Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to “stock market risk” meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the prices of the types of securities in which a Fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of a Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. A Fund’s investments in preferred shares and convertible securities are also subject to equity market risk.
Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security generally entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt securities or the dividend paid on preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible securities generally have characteristics similar to both debt and equity securities. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Convertible securities ordinarily provide a stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common stock of the same or similar issuers. Convertible securities generally rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure but are usually subordinated to comparable nonconvertible securities. Convertible securities generally do not participate directly in any dividend increases or decreases of the underlying securities, although the market prices of convertible securities may be affected by any dividend changes or other changes in the underlying securities. Contingent convertible securities are subject to additional risk factors. A contingent convertible security is a hybrid debt security typically issued by a non-U.S. bank that may be convertible into equity or may be written down if a pre-specified trigger event such as a decline in capital ratio below a prescribed threshold occurs. If such a trigger event occurs, a Fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be converted to equity. In addition to being subject to a possible write-down upon the occurrence of a trigger event, contingent convertible securities may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into equity (in whole or in part), if the applicable bank regulator or other public administrative authority having
154  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

responsibility for managing the orderly dissolution of an institution (the “resolution authority) has determined that the issuer is not viable. Even though the Fund does not invest in common stock as a principal investment strategy, a Fund will be subject to increased equity market risk in the event that such securities are converted to equity. Coupon payments on contingent convertible securities may be discretionary and may be cancelled by the issuer. Holders of contingent convertible securities may suffer a loss of capital when comparable equity holders do not. As contingent convertible securities may be perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Sovereign Debt Risk. A Fund may invest in sovereign debt securities. These securities are issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental entities. These investments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, the relative size of the governmental entity’s debt position in relation to the economy or the failure to put in place economic reforms required by the International Monetary Fund or other multilateral agencies. If a governmental entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans. There is no legal process for collecting sovereign debts that a government does not pay nor are there bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of the sovereign debt that a governmental entity has not repaid may be collected.
Municipal Securities Risk. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. A number of municipalities have had significant financial problems recently, and these and other municipalities could, potentially, continue to experience significant financial problems resulting from lower tax revenues and/or decreased aid from state and local governments in the event of an economic downturn. This could decrease a Fund’s income or hurt the ability to preserve capital and liquidity.
Under some circumstances, municipal securities might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose. Some securities, including municipal lease obligations, carry additional risks. For example, they may be difficult to trade or interest payments may be tied only to a specific stream of revenue.
Since some municipal securities 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. If such events were to occur, the value of the security could decrease or the value could be lost entirely, and it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund to sell the security at the time and the price that normally prevails in the market. Interest on municipal obligations, while generally exempt from federal income tax, may not be exempt from federal alternative minimum tax.
CFTC Regulation Risk. The Funds are subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a “commodity pool” and the adviser is subject to regulation as a “commodity pool operator” with respect to the Funds. As a result, the Funds are subject to various CFTC requirements, including certain registration, disclosure and operational requirements. Compliance with these requirements may increase Fund expenses.
REITs Risk. Investments in REITs are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate. Real estate values rise and fall in response to many factors, including local, regional and national economic conditions, the demand for rental property, and interest rates. When economic growth is slowing, demand for property decreases and prices may fall. Rising interest rates, which drive up mortgage and financing costs, can affect the profitability and liquidity of properties in the real estate market. Property values may also decrease because of overbuilding, extended vacancies, increase in property taxes and operating expenses, zoning laws, environmental regulations, clean-up of and liability for environmental hazards, uninsured casualty or condemnation losses or a general decline in neighborhood values. A Fund’s investments and your investment may decline in value in response to declines in property values or other adverse changes to the real estate market. In addition, federal and state laws may restrict the remedies that a lender of underlying REIT assets has when a borrower defaults on loans. The performance of real estate securities is also largely dependent on the organization, skill and capital funding of the managers and operators of the underlying real estate. Debt securities of REITs are subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity securities of REITs.
MLP Risk. MLPs may trade infrequently and in limited volume and they may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than securities of larger or more broadly-based companies. The managing general partner of an MLP may receive an incentive allocation based on increases in the amount and growth of cash distributions to investors in the MLP. This method of compensation may create an incentive for the managing general partner to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangements. Debt securities of MLPs are subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity securities of MLPs. Certain MLPs may operate

in, or have exposure to, the energy sector. The energy sector can be significantly affected by changes in the prices and supplies of oil and other energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other government regulations, policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and relationships among OPEC members and between OPEC and oil importing nations.
Industry Concentration Risk. A Fund will not invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in the securities of companies conducting their principal business activities in the same industry, except that, to the extent that an industry represents 20% or more of a Fund’s benchmark at the time of investment, a Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in that industry. Concentrating Fund investments in companies conducting business in the same industry will subject a Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting that industry than if its investments were not so concentrated.
Mortgage Dollar Roll Risk. The Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls involving mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs and other mortgage-backed securities. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Short sales of mortgage TBAs and engaging in mortgage dollar rolls may be subject to leverage risks as described under “Derivatives Risk.” In addition, mortgage dollar rolls may increase interest rate risk and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.
Options Risk. There are several risks associated with transactions in options, such as exchange-listed, over-the-counter and index options. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events. There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option at a particular time, especially when a Fund seeks to close out an option position; as a result, it may be costly to liquidate options. There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist for any particular option contract at any particular time even if the contract is traded on an exchange. Exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options contracts and may halt trading if a contract’s price moves up or down more than the limit in a given day, making it impossible for a Fund to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. As a result, the Fund’s access to other assets held to cover its options positions could also be impaired. Although the Funds will attempt to enter into option transactions with creditworthy parties, a Fund may be at risk that the counterparties entering into the option transaction will not fulfill their obligations, particularly when the Fund utilizes over-the-counter options. Because option premiums paid or received by the Fund are small in relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options, buying and selling put and call options can be more volatile than investing directly in the underlying investment.
Investment Company and ETF Risk. The Funds may invest in shares of other investment companies, including ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of a Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when a Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. A Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF or investment company’s investments. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs and closed-end investment companies may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio. Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. Some of the Funds may invest in investment companies that include common and preferred shares of closed-end funds. In addition to the risks applicable to investment companies generally, to the extent that a Fund invests in auction rate preferred shares of closed-end funds, such securities are subject to additional risks.
Certain Funds may also invest in pooled investment vehicles that are not registered investment companies or commodity pools. These pooled investment vehicles do not have the protections available to those types of investments under federal securities or commodities laws. For example, unlike registered investment companies, these vehicles are not subject to federal securities laws that limit transactions with affiliates, require redemption of shares, or limit sales load. Although shares of these vehicles may be traded on an exchange, there may be no active market for such shares and such shares may be highly illiquid.
Strategy Risk.Global Bond Opportunities Fund-The Fund uses a flexible asset allocation approach which may result in the adviser focusing on only a few strategies, sectors, countries or currencies. Due to the Fund's flexible allocation approach, the Fund's risk exposure may vary and risk associated with an individual strategy, sector, country or currency may become more pronounced, particularly when the Fund utilizes only a few strategies or types of investments. The Fund's currency management strategies may substantially change the Fund's exposure to currency exchange rates and could result in losses to the Fund if currencies do not perform as the adviser expects. In addition, currency management strategies, to the extent that they reduce the Fund's exposure to
156  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

currency risks, may also reduce the Fund's ability to benefit from favorable changes in currency exchange rates. Using currency derivative strategies for purposes other than hedging further increases the Fund's exposure to foreign investment losses. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets. In addition, currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time, and can reduce returns.
Income Fund-The Fund’s strategy of seeking to provide a predictable level of dividend income may not be successful. The income payable on debt securities in general and the availability of investment opportunities varies based on market conditions. In addition, the Fund may not be effective in identifying income producing securities and managing distributions; as a result, the level of dividend income may fluctuate. The Fund’s investments are subject to various risks including the risk that the counterparty will not pay income when due which may adversely impact the level and predictability of dividend income paid by the Fund. The Fund does not guarantee that distributions will always be paid or paid at a predictable level.
Strategic Income Opportunities Fund and Total Return Fund-The Funds may use relative value and other strategies that combine derivatives and/or securities to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure and credit and spread volatility. There is no guarantee that these strategies will succeed and their use may subject the Funds to greater volatility and loss. Relative value strategies involve complex securities transactions that involve risks in addition to direct investments in securities including leverage risk and the risks described under “Derivatives Risk.”
Unconstrained Debt Fund-The Fund uses a flexible asset allocation approach which may result in the adviser focusing on only a few strategies, sectors or instrument types. Due to the Fund's flexible allocation approach, the Fund's risk exposure may vary and risk associated with an individual strategy, sector or instrument type may become more pronounced, particularly when the Fund utilizes only a few strategies or types of investments.
Risk Associated with a Fund holding Cash, Money Market Instruments and Other Short-Term Investments. A Fund will, at times, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments, which may hurt the Fund’s performance. These positions may also subject a Fund to additional risks and costs.
Privately Placed Securities Risk. Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and a Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by a Fund may be restricted under federal securities laws or by the relevant exchange or by a governmental or supervisory authority. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such investments at a time when, or at a price at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.
CPI-U Strategy Risk. A Fund may use CPI-U swaps to hedge inflation risk associated with certain debt securities. There is no guarantee that such strategy will be effective in protecting the return from such securities from inflation risks. In addition, CPI-U swaps are subject to “Derivatives Risk.”
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. A Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
European Market Risk. A Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in Europe, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns, and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. The risk of investing in Europe may be heightened due to steps taken by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the European Union. On December 30, 2020, the European Union and the United Kingdom signed the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“TCA”), an agreement on the terms governing certain aspects of the European Union’s and the United Kingdom’s relationship, many of which are still to be determined, including those related to financial services. Notwithstanding the TCA, significant uncertainty remains in the market regarding the ramifications of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union. The impact on the United Kingdom and European economies and the broader global economy could be significant, resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, impacts on arrangements for trading and on other existing cross-border cooperation arrangements (whether economic, tax, fiscal, legal, regulatory or otherwise), and in potentially lower growth for companies in the United Kingdom, Europe and globally, which could have an adverse effect on the value of a Fund’s investments. In addition, if one or more other countries were to exit the European Union or abandon the use of the euro as a currency, the value of investments tied to those countries or the euro could decline significantly and unpredictably.

More About the Funds (continued)
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock generally has a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. Because preferred stocks generally pay dividends only after the issuing company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt, the value of preferred stocks generally is more sensitive than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, deterioration of the real estate market and the financial circumstances of tenants and sellers, unfavorable changes in zoning, building, environmental and other laws, the need for unanticipated renovations, unexpected increases in the cost of energy and environmental factors. Furthermore, a REIT could fail to qualify for tax free pass-through of its income under the Internal Revenue Code or fail to maintain its exemption from registration under the 1940 Act, which could produce adverse economic consequences for the REIT and its investors, including the Fund.
The underlying mortgage loans may be subject to the risks of default or of prepayments that occur earlier or later than expected, and such loans may also include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The value of REITs will also rise and fall in response to the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties. REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities. A Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
In addition, certain of the companies in which a Fund intends to invest may have developed or commenced development on properties and may develop additional properties in the future. Real estate development involves significant risks in addition to those involved in the ownership and operation of established properties, including the risks that financing, if needed, may not be available on favorable terms for development projects, that construction may not be completed on schedule (resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs), that estimates of the costs of construction may prove to be inaccurate and that properties may not be leased, rented or operated on profitable terms and therefore will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investment may decrease in value. Real estate securities have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in operating and financing a limited number of projects. Real estate securities are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency and defaults by borrowers or tenants.
Hybrid Preferred Securities Risk. Hybrid preferred securities are debt instruments that have characteristics and risks similar to those of preferred securities. As hybrid preferred securities typically are perpetual or have long-dated maturities, they may face greater interest rate sensitivity and may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than securities with shorter maturity dates. Hybrid preferred securities are generally structured as debt securities that are subordinate to senior debt holders. In addition, the issuer of such securities may be permitted to defer interest payment. Such securities also may be subject to prepayment risk due to optional or mandatory redemption provisions.
Extension Risk. The Fund invests in securities that may be subject to the risk that a rise in interest rates or credit spreads will extend the life of a security to a date later than the anticipated repayment date, causing the value of the investment to decrease.
Foreign Securities Risk. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers or U.S. affiliates of foreign issuers may be subject to additional risks not faced by domestic issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, and regulatory issues facing issuers in such countries. The Fund may also invest in non-dollar denominated securities. Investments in non-dollar denominated securities are subject to risks in addition to those summarized above including currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, liquidity risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States.
Distribution Risk. The Fund is not designed to provide a predictable level of dividend income. The income payable on debt securities in general and the availability of investment opportunities varies based on market conditions. In addition, the Fund may not be effective in identifying income producing securities and managing distributions; as a result, the level of dividend income will fluctuate. The
158  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Fund’s investments are subject to various risks including the risk that the counterparty will not pay income when due which may adversely impact the level and volatility of dividend income paid by the Fund. The Fund does not guarantee that distributions will always be paid or that such dividends will not fluctuate.
Concentration Risk. Because the Fund will, under ordinary circumstances, invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies in the financials sector including securities in the banking, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries, developments affecting the financials and these four industries within this sector may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund. These risks generally include interest rate risk, credit risk and risk associated with regulatory changes in the financials sector. In addition, companies in the financial sectors are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing.
Trust Preferred Securities Risk. Trust preferred securities, also known as “trust preferreds,” are preferred stocks issued by a special purpose trust subsidiary backed by subordinated debt of the corporate parent. An issuer creates trust preferred securities by creating a trust and issuing debt to the trust. The trust in turn issues trust preferred securities. As a result, under this structure, the trust preferred securities are not a direct obligation of the issuer. Trust preferred securities are hybrid securities with characteristics of both subordinated debt and preferred stock. Such characteristics include long maturities (typically 30 years or more), early redemption by the issuer, periodic fixed or variable interest payments, and maturities at face value. In addition, trust preferred securities issued by a bank holding company may allow deferral of interest payments for up to 5 years. Holders of trust preferred securities have limited voting rights to control the activities of the trust and no voting rights with respect to the parent company. The market for trust preferred securities may be limited due to restrictions on resale, and the market value may be more volatile than those of conventional debt securities. Although trust preferred securities are often deemed to be a close substitute for traditional preferred stocks, trust preferred securities also possess many of the typical characteristics of equity securities due to their subordinated position in an issuer’s capital structure and because their quality and value are heavily dependent on the issuer’s profitability as opposed to any legal claims to specific assets or cash flows. As a result, the value of trust preferred securities may fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in the financial condition of an issuer, investors’ perception of the financial condition of an issuer, or the general economic condition of the market for trust preferred securities.
Newer Fund Risk. The Fund is new with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors will have only limited information concerning the Fund’s track record or history to help inform their investment decisions. In addition, until the Fund achieves a certain size, the performance of certain of its investments may disproportionately impact the performance of the Fund, which may be subject to heightened volatility. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.
Cyber Security Risk. As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Funds have become more susceptible to operational and financial risks associated with cyber security, including: theft, loss, misuse, improper release, corruption and destruction of, or unauthorized access to, confidential or highly restricted data relating to a Fund and its shareholders; and compromises or failures to systems, networks, devices and applications relating to the operations of a Fund and its service providers. Cyber security risks may result in financial losses to a Fund and its shareholders; the inability of a Fund to transact business with its shareholders; delays or mistakes in the calculation of a Fund’s NAV or other materials provided to shareholders; the inability to process transactions with shareholders or other parties; violations of privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties and reputational damage; and compliance and remediation costs, legal fees and other expenses. A Fund’s service providers (including, but not limited to, the adviser, any sub-advisers, administrator, transfer agent, and custodian or their agents), financial intermediaries, companies in which a Fund invests and parties with which a Fund engages in portfolio or other transactions also may be adversely impacted by cyber security risks in their own businesses, which could result in losses to a Fund or its shareholders. While measures have been developed which are designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security, there is no guarantee that those measures will be effective, particularly since the Funds do not directly control the cyber security defenses or plans of their service providers, financial intermediaries and companies in which they invests or with which they do business.
Regulatory and Legal Risk. U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations and legislators pass new laws that affect the investments held by a Fund, the strategies used by a Fund or the level of regulation or taxation applying to a Fund (such as regulations related to investments in derivatives and other transactions). These regulations and laws may adversely impact the investment strategies, performance, costs and operations of a Fund or taxation of shareholders.
Volcker Rule Risk. Pursuant to section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and certain rules promulgated thereunder known as the Volcker Rule, if the adviser and/or its affiliates own 25% or more of the outstanding ownership interests of a Fund after the permitted seeding period from the implementation of a Fund’s investment strategy, a Fund could be subject to restrictions on trading that would adversely impact the Fund’s ability to execute its investment strategy. Generally, the permitted seeding period is three years from the implementation of a Fund’s investment strategy. As a result, the adviser and/or its
July 1, 2023  |  159

More About the Funds (continued)
affiliates may be required to reduce their ownership interests in a Fund at a time that is sooner than would otherwise be desirable, which may result in the Fund’s liquidation or, if the Fund is able to continue operating, may result in losses, increased transaction costs and adverse tax consequences as a result of the sale of portfolio securities.
Securities Lending Risk. Each Fund may engage in securities lending. Securities lending involves counterparty risk, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned or returned in a timely manner and/or a loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower or the lending agent defaults. This risk is increased when the Fund’s loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. In addition, each Fund bears the risk of loss in connection with its investments of the cash collateral it receives from the borrower. To the extent that the value or return of a Fund’s investments of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. In situations where the adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the cash collateral investments in the market, the Fund may borrow money to repay the borrower the amount of cash collateral owed to the borrower upon return of the loaned securities. This will result in financial leverage, which may cause a Fund to be more volatile because financial leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.
LIBOR Discontinuance or Unavailability Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii) immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published, and we recommend that you consult your advisors to stay informed of any such developments. In addition, certain regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a Fund’s investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Fund’s investments may transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for the Fund or its investments. No assurances can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Fund and its investments.
Interfund Lending Risk. A delay in repayment to a Fund from a borrowing fund could result in lost opportunity costs. Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due. In the case of a default by a borrowing fund and to the extent that the loan is collateralized, a Fund could take possession of collateral that the Fund is not permitted to hold and, therefore, would be required to dispose of such collateral as soon as possible, which could result in a loss to the Fund. A Fund’s interfund lending arrangements are subject to certain conditions under an SEC exemptive order. Although the conditions of the SEC exemptive order are designed to minimize the risks associated with interfund lending, no lending activity is without risk.
CLN Risk. CLNs are synthetic instruments that are subject to the counterparty risk described above under “Credit Risk.” In the event of a default, a Fund does not have a right in the underlying reference debt obligation. Generally, payments under the CLN are conditioned on the CLN’s receipt of payments from, and the CLN’s potential obligations, to the counterparties to the derivative instruments and other securities in which the CLN invests. If a default were to occur, the stream of payments may stop and the CLN would be obligated to pay the counterparty the par (or other agreed upon value) of the referenced debt obligation. This, in turn, would reduce the amount of income and principal that the Fund would receive as an investor in the CLN.
Insurance-Linked Securities Risk. The Funds may invest in insurance-linked securities. Gains or losses on insurance based instruments are tied to specific types of insurance risk including, but not limited to, fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, wind-storms, extreme temperature conditions, tsunamis, and floods. The type, frequency and severity of catastrophic events are difficult to predict or model, and thus the expected return on an investment with respect to such instruments is difficult to calculate. A Fund’s investments in insurance-linked securities may be concentrated in one or more types of risk, in which case the overall adverse impact on the Fund of a single catastrophe or other insured event or adverse movements in the value of a single investment position could be considerably greater than if the Fund’s insurance-based investments were more diversified. Insurance-linked securities often provide for an extension of maturity to process and audit loss claims where a catastrophic event has, or possibly has, occurred. An extension of
160  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

maturity may increase volatility. Insurance-linked exposure may also expose a Fund to certain unanticipated risks including credit risk, counterparty risk, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, and adverse tax consequences. Insurance-linked securities may also be subject to liquidity risk.
Business Development Company Risk. Each Fund may invest in shares of BDCs. BDCs are closed-end investment companies that have elected to be BDCs under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of a Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the BDC when a Fund invests in shares of the BDC. BDCs that are listed on a stock exchange may trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount). If a Fund invests in BDCs, it may incur added expenses such as additional management fees and trading costs. BDCs generally invest in debt securities that are not rated by a credit rating agency and are considered below investment grade quality (junk bonds). Little public information generally exists for the type of companies in which a BDC may invest and, therefore, there is a risk that investors may not be able to make a fully informed evaluation of the BDC and its portfolio of investments. In addition, investments made by BDCs are typically illiquid and are difficult to value for purposes of determining a BDC’s net asset value. If a Fund invests in a BDC that is privately placed, the investment also may be subject to additional liquidity risks because it may be difficult for the Fund to liquidate its investment in a privately placed BDC. The revenues, income (or losses) and valuations of companies in which BDCs invest can, and often do, fluctuate suddenly and dramatically, and they face considerable risk of loss.
Structured Investment Risk. Certain structured investments including CLNs are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such instruments, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk.
Commodity Risk. A Fund may invest in commodity-linked securities and derivatives. The Fund may have direct investments in commodities. Developments affecting commodities will have a disproportionate impact on the Fund. The Fund’s investment in commodities, commodity-linked securities and derivatives may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodities, commodity-linked securities and derivatives may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The natural resources and energy sector can be significantly affected by changes in the prices and supplies of oil, gas and other energy fuels, exploration and production spending and the success of energy spending, energy conservation, and tax and other government regulations, policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and oil importing nations. Therefore, the securities of companies in the energy and natural resources sectors may experience more price volatility than companies in other industries. The metals sector can be affected by sharp price volatility over short periods caused by global economic, financial and political factors, resource availability, government regulation, economic cycles, changes in inflation or expectations about inflation in various countries, interest rates, currency fluctuations, metal sales by governments, central banks or international agencies, investment speculation and fluctuations in industrial and commercial supply and demand. Use of leveraged commodity-linked derivatives creates an opportunity for increased return but, at the same time, creates the possibility for greater loss (including the likelihood of greater volatility of the net asset value), and there can be no assurance that the use of leverage will be successful. In addition, to the extent that the Fund gains exposure to an asset through synthetic replication by investing in commodity-linked investments rather than directly in the asset, it may not have a claim on the applicable underlying asset and will be subject to enhanced counterparty risk.
For more information about risks associated with the types of investments that a Fund purchases, please read the “Risk/Return Summary” at the front of this prospectus and “Investment Practices” section later in the prospectus, and the Statement of Additional Information.
Conflicts of Interest
An investment in a Fund is subject to a number of actual or potential conflicts of interest. For example, the Adviser and/or its affiliates provide a variety of different services to a Fund, for which the Fund compensates them. As a result, the Adviser and/or its affiliates have an incentive to enter into arrangements with a Fund, and face conflicts of interest when balancing that incentive against the best interests of a Fund. The Adviser and/or its affiliates also face conflicts of interest in their service as investment adviser to other clients, and, from time to time, make investment decisions that differ from and/or negatively impact those made by the Adviser on behalf of a Fund. In addition, affiliates of the Adviser provide a broad range of services and products to their clients and are major participants in the global currency, equity, commodity, fixed-income and other markets in which a Fund invests or will invest. In certain circumstances, by providing services and products to their clients, these affiliates’ activities will disadvantage or restrict the Funds and/or benefit these affiliates. The Adviser may also acquire material non-public information which would negatively affect the Adviser’s ability to transact in securities for a Fund. JPMorgan and the Funds have adopted policies and procedures reasonably
July 1, 2023  |  161

More About the Funds (continued)
designed to appropriately prevent, limit or mitigate conflicts of interest. In addition, many of the activities that create these conflicts of interest are limited and/or prohibited by law, unless an exception is available. For more information about conflicts of interest, see the Potential Conflicts of Interest section in the Statement of Additional Information.
Temporary Defensive and Cash Positions
For liquidity and to respond to unusual market conditions, the Funds may invest all or most of their total assets in cash and cash equivalents for temporary defensive purposes. In addition, certain Funds may invest in cash and cash equivalents as a principal investment strategy. These investments may result in a lower yield than lower-quality or longer-term investments.
WHAT IS A CASH EQUIVALENT?
Cash equivalents are highly liquid, high-quality instruments with maturities of three months or less on the date they are purchased.
They include securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, repurchase agreements, certificates of
deposit, bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper, money market mutual funds and bank deposit accounts.
While the Funds are engaged in a temporary defensive position, they may not meet their investment objectives. These investments may also be inconsistent with a Fund’s main investment strategies. Therefore, the Funds will pursue a temporary defensive position only when market conditions warrant.

Additional Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement
Service providers to the Funds may, from time to time, voluntarily waive all or a portion of any fees to which they are entitled and/or reimburse certain expenses as they may determine from time to time. The Funds' service providers may discontinue or modify these voluntary actions at any time without notice. Performance for the Funds will reflect the voluntary waiver of fees and/or the reimbursement of expenses, if any. Without these voluntary waivers and/or expense reimbursements, performance would have been less favorable.
Expense Limitations
Income Fund
The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.40% of the average daily net assets of Class R6 Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an
162  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds for all Share classes. These waivers are in effect through 6/30/24, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Additional Historical Performance Information
Core Bond Fund
The historical performance for the Class R3 and Class R4 Shares in the performance table prior to their inception on 9/9/16 is based on the performance of the Class I Shares of the Fund, which invest in the same portfolio of securities, but are offered in a different prospectus. Prior class performance of Class R3 and Class R4 Shares has been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses.
Core Plus Bond Fund
The historical performance for the Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5 Shares in the performance table prior to their inception on 9/9/16 is based on the performance of the Class I Shares of the Fund, which invest in the same portfolio of securities, but are offered in a different prospectus. Prior class performance of Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5 Shares has been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses.
Floating Rate Income Fund
The historical performance for the Class R6 Shares in the performance table prior to their inception on 10/31/13 is based on the performance of the Class I Shares of the Fund, which invest in the same portfolio of securities, but are offered in a different prospectus. Class R6 and Class I Shares of the Fund would have substantially similar performance because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, and the performance would differ only to the extent that the classes have different expenses.
Government Bond Fund
The historical performance for the Class R3 and Class R4 Shares in the performance table prior to their inception on 9/9/16 is based on the performance of the Class I Shares of the Fund, which invest in the same portfolio of securities, but are offered in a different prospectus. Prior class performance of Class R3 and Class R4 Shares has been adjusted to reflect differences in expenses.
This historical performance for the Class R6 Shares in the performance table prior to their inception on 8/1/16 is based on the performance of the Class I Shares of the Fund, which invest in the same portfolio of securities, but are offered in a different prospectus. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 have different expenses than Class I Shares.
High Yield Fund
The historical performance for the Class R3 and Class R4 Shares in the performance table prior to their inception on 8/21/17 are based on the performance of the Class I Shares of the Fund, which invest in the same portfolio of securities, but offered in a different prospectus. All prior class performance has been adjusted to reflect the differences in expenses between classes.
Strategic Income Opportunities Fund
The historical performance for the Class R6 Shares in the performance table prior to their inception on 11/1/17 is based on the performance of the Class R5 Shares of the Fund, which invest in the same portfolio of securities. The actual returns of Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.
Total Return Fund
The historical performance for the Class R2 Shares and Class R6 Shares in the performance table prior to their inception on 3/18/14 is based on the performance of the Class R5 Shares of the Fund, which invest in the same portfolio of securities. The actual returns of Class R2 and Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because Class R2 Shares and Class R6 Shares have different expenses than Class R5 Shares.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING STRATEGIC INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Fund Expenses
“Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are based on the allocation of the Fund’s assets to acquired funds including Institutional Class Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund calculated on a daily basis for the fiscal year ended 2/28/23. The JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund imposes a separate investment advisory fee, administration fee, and shareholder servicing fee. The Fund’s adviser, administrator, and shareholder servicing agent will waive fees charged in an amount equal to the weighted pro rata amount of investment advisory fees, administration fees and shareholder servicing fees charged by the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund. For the fiscal year ended 2/28/23, the net expenses of Class R5 and Class R6 Shares were 0.50% and 0.40%, respectively, taking into account these waivers.

Each of the Funds operates in a multiple class structure. A multiple class fund is an open-end investment company that issues two or more classes of shares representing interests in the same investment portfolio.
Each class in a multiple class fund can set its own transaction minimums and may vary with respect to expenses for distribution, administration and shareholder services. This means that one class could offer access to a Fund on different terms than another class. Certain classes may be more appropriate for a particular investor.
Each Fund may issue other classes of shares that have different expense levels and performance and different requirements for who may invest. Call 1-800-480-4111 to obtain more information concerning all of the Funds’ other share classes. A Financial Intermediary who receives compensation for selling Fund shares may receive a different amount of compensation for sales of different classes of shares.
The Funds' Investment Adviser
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM) acts as investment adviser to the Funds and makes day-to-day investment decisions for the Funds. In rendering investment advisory services to certain Funds, JPMIM uses the portfolio management, research and other resources of a foreign (non-U.S.) affiliate of JPMIM and may provide services to a Fund through a “participating affiliate” arrangement, as that term is used in relief granted by the staff of the SEC. Under this relief, U.S. registered investment advisers are allowed to use portfolio management or research resources of advisory affiliates subject to the regulatory supervision of the registered investment adviser.

Please see “MINIMUM ACCOUNT BALANCE” for more information about minimum balance requirements.
Financial Intermediaries may include financial advisors, investment advisers, brokers, financial planners, banks, insurance companies, retirement or 401(k) plan administrators and others, including various affiliates of JPMorgan Chase, that have entered into agreements with JPMDS as Distributor and/or shareholder servicing agent.
Accounts may be opened either directly with the Funds' transfer agent or through Financial Intermediaries. If you have questions about eligibility, please call 1-800-480-4111.
Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares are not subject to Rule 12b-1 fees.
Class R6 Shares have lower annual expense ratios than other share classes, as the Class R6 Shares have no ongoing service fees.
A Fund may issue other classes of shares that have different sales charges, expense levels and performance and different requirements for who may invest. Call 1-800-480-4111 to obtain more information concerning all of a Fund’s other share classes. A Financial Intermediary who receives compensation for selling Fund shares may receive different amounts of compensation for sales of different classes of shares.
Group Retirement Plans
The only retirement plans that are eligible to purchase Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5 and Class R6 Shares are employer-sponsored retirement, deferred compensation and employee benefit plans (including health savings accounts) and trusts used to fund those plans. To satisfy eligibility requirements, the plan must be a group plan (more than one participant), the shares cannot be held in a commission-based brokerage account and the shares must be held a) at a plan level or b) at the Fund level through an omnibus account of a retirement plan recordkeeper. Group Retirement Plans include group employer-sponsored 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit-sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans, retiree health
July 1, 2023  |  175

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
benefit plans, group annuity separate accounts offered to retirement plans, and non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Group Retirement Plans do not include traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, KEOGHs, individual 401(k) plans or individual 403(b) plans.
Discretionary Accounts
Class R6 Shares may also be purchased by an account for an investor:
1.
Whose investments in a Fund are made and directed on their behalf by investment representatives at the Investment Manager pursuant to a discretionary investment management agreement or trust agreement that provides for discretionary investment management services between the Investment Manager and the investor (a Discretionary Account), and
2.
Whose account’s initial investment in a Fund is at least $5,000,000. An investor can combine purchases of Class R6 Shares with Class R6 Shares of other JPMorgan Funds in order to meet the applicable minimum investment.
Institutional Investors
Class R6 Shares may also be purchased by institutional investors whose initial investment in a Fund is at least $5,000,000. Institutional investors include, but are not limited to, corporations, qualified non-profit organizations, charitable trusts, foundations and endowments, governmental entities, municipalities, and hospitals investing for their own account. These accounts may not be held for the benefit of multiple underlying, unrelated investors. For these investors, accounts cannot be aggregated at the investor level to meet the initial minimum.
Other Investors
Class R6 Shares also may be purchased in other accounts whose initial investment in a Fund is at least $15,000,000. These accounts may not be held for the benefit of multiple underlying, unrelated investors. For these investors, accounts cannot be aggregated at the investor level to meet the initial minimum.
Certain Financial Intermediaries may not make Class R6 Shares available for purchase.
College Savings Plans
To be eligible to invest in R5 and Class R6 Shares, Section 529 college savings plans must hold their shares through plan level or omnibus accounts held on the books of a Fund.
Financial Intermediary Compensation
The following section describes the various fees that you will pay if you purchase shares of the Funds. In addition, it describes the types of compensation paid to Financial Intermediaries for the sale of Fund shares and related services.
Class R6 Shares are only available through a Financial Intermediary if the Financial Intermediary will not receive from the Fund assets or the Distributor’s or an affiliate’s resources any commission payments, service fees (including sub-transfer agent and networking fees), or distribution fees (including Rule 12b-1 fees) directly tied to assets invested in Class R6 Shares. This restriction does not apply to fees paid to a Financial Intermediary by an affiliate of the Distributor from its fees for retirement plan recordkeeping services.
To obtain information, see below, visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or call 1-800-480-4111.
Rule 12b–1 Fees
Each Fund described in this prospectus has adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 with respect to Class R2 and Class R3 Shares that allows it to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of these shares of the Funds. These fees are called “Rule 12b-1 fees.” Rule 12b-1 fees are paid by the Funds to the Distributor as compensation for its services and expenses in connection with the sale and distribution of Fund shares. The Distributor in turn pays all or part of these Rule 12b-1 fees to Financial Intermediaries that have agreements with the Distributor to sell shares of the Funds. The Distributor may pay Rule 12b-1 fees to its affiliates. Payments are not tied to actual expenses incurred.
The Rule 12b-1 fees (based on average daily net assets of the share class) vary by share class as follows:
176  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Class
Rule 12b-1 Fee
Class R2
0.50%
Class R3
0.25%
Class R4
None
Class R5
None
Class R6
None
Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of Fund assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
Networking and Sub-Transfer Agency Fees
JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, has entered into agreements with Financial Intermediaries pursuant to which the Financial Intermediary is paid for services such as networking or sub-transfer agency (collectively, the “Sub-TA Agreements”). Sub-TA Agreement payments are generally based on either (1) a percentage of the average daily net assets of clients serviced by such Financial Intermediary up to a set maximum dollar amount per shareholder account serviced, or (2) a per account fee based on the number of accounts serviced by such Financial Intermediary. Sub-TA Agreement payments are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, Rule 12b-1 fees the Financial Intermediary may also be receiving pursuant to agreements with the Distributor for classes with Rule 12b-1 fees. Payments to Financial Intermediaries for sub-transfer agency services will be made by JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, from the service fee. From time to time, JPMIM or its affiliates may pay a portion of the sub-transfer agency fees at its or their own expense and out of its or their legitimate profits.
Service Fees
JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, receives an annual fee of up to the following fee (based on the average daily net assets of the applicable class of a Fund).
Class
Service Fee
Class R2
0.25%
Class R3
0.25%
Class R4
0.25%
Class R5

Class R6
None
JPMDS may enter into service agreements with Financial Intermediaries under which it will pay all or a portion of that fee to such Financial Intermediaries for performing shareholder and administrative services.
Purchasing Fund Shares
You may purchase shares directly from the J.P. Morgan Funds through the Distributor or through your Financial Intermediary.
Purchase and redemption orders will be accepted only on days that J.P. Morgan Funds are open for business. The Funds are open for business on each day the NYSE is open for trading. A purchase or redemption order received by the Funds prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. ET) (“Fund Close”), on a day the Funds are open for business, will be effected at that day’s NAV. The Funds will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption or closure in NYSE trading as a closure of the NYSE and will calculate NAV as of 4:00 p.m. ET, if the particular disruption or closure directly affects only the NYSE. An order received after the Fund Close will generally be effected at the NAV determined on the next business day. However, orders received by Financial Intermediaries on a business day prior to the Fund Close and communicated to the Funds prior to such time as agreed upon by the Funds and the Financial Intermediary will be effected at the NAV determined on the business day the order was received by the Financial Intermediary.
A purchase order must be supported by all appropriate documentation and information in the proper form. The Funds may refuse to honor incomplete purchase orders.
Share ownership is electronically recorded; therefore, no certificate will be issued. A shareholder who purchases shares of a Fund that accrues dividends daily will not accrue a dividend on the day of the purchase.

Transactions by phone, fax or the Internet
You may access your account and conduct certain transactions using phone, fax or the J.P. Morgan Funds website. Phone conversations are recorded. The J.P. Morgan Funds and their agents use reasonable procedures to verify the identity of the shareholder. If these procedures are followed, the J.P. Morgan Funds and their agents are not liable for any losses, liability, cost or expenses (including attorney fees) that may occur from acting on unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. Therefore please take precautions to protect your account information and immediately review account statements or other information provided to you. In addition, a confirmation is sent promptly after a transaction. Please review it carefully and contact J.P. Morgan Funds Services or your Financial Intermediary immediately about any transaction you believe to be unauthorized. You may revoke your right to make purchases over the phone or by mailing written instructions to us.
You may not always reach J.P. Morgan Funds Services by phone or online. This may be true at times of unusual market changes and shareholder activity. You can mail us your instructions or contact your Financial Intermediary. We may modify or cancel the ability to purchase or redeem shares online or by phone without notice.
Additional Information Regarding Purchases
Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When you open an account, we will ask for your name, residential or business street address, date of birth (for an individual), and other information that will allow us to identify you, including your social security number, tax identification number or other identifying number. The J.P. Morgan Funds cannot waive these requirements. A Fund is required by law to reject your Account Application if the required identifying information is not provided.
We will attempt to collect any missing information required on the Account Application by contacting either you or your Financial Intermediary. If we cannot obtain this information within the established time frame, your Account Application will be rejected. Amounts received prior to receipt of the required information will be held uninvested and will be returned to you without interest if your Account Application is rejected. If the required information is obtained, your investment will be accepted and you will pay the NAV per share next calculated after all of the required information is received.
Once we have received all of the required information, federal law requires us to verify your identity. After an account is opened, we may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. If we are unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time, the Funds and/or the Distributor reserve the right to close your account at the current day’s NAV per share. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV per share next calculated after the account is closed, less any applicable fees.
Purchases by wire may be canceled if J.P. Morgan Funds Services does not receive payment by 4:00 p.m. ET on the settlement date. You will be responsible for any expenses and/or losses to the Funds.
Exchanging Fund Shares
An exchange is selling shares of one J.P. Morgan Fund and taking the proceeds to simultaneously purchase shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund. Before making an exchange request, you should read the prospectus of the J.P. Morgan Fund whose shares you would like to purchase by exchange. You can obtain a prospectus for any J.P. Morgan Fund by contacting your Financial Intermediary, by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com, or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
Class R2 Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for:
Class R2 Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund,
Another share class of the same Fund if you are eligible to purchase that class.
Class R3 Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for:
Class R3 Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund,
Another share class of the same Fund if you are eligible to purchase that class.
Class R4 Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for:
Class R4 Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund,
Another share class of the same Fund if you are eligible to purchase that class.
Class R5 Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for:
Class R5 Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund,
Another share class of the same Fund if you are eligible to purchase that class.
Class R6 Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for:
Class R6 Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund,
Another share class of the same Fund if you are eligible to purchase that class.
The following rules and procedures apply to exchanges:
All exchanges are subject to meeting any investment minimum or eligibility requirements of the new Fund and class.
The J.P. Morgan Funds will provide 60 days’ written notice of any termination of or material change to your exchange privilege.
All exchanges are based upon the net asset value that is next calculated after the Fund receives your order, provided the exchange out of one Fund must occur before the exchange into the other Fund.
In order for an exchange to take place on the date that the order is submitted, the order must be received prior to the close of both the Fund that you wish to exchange into and the Fund that you wish to exchange out of, otherwise, the exchange will occur on the following business day on which both Funds are open.
A shareholder that exchanges into shares of a Fund that accrues dividends daily, including a money market fund, will not accrue a dividend on the day of the exchange. A shareholder that exchanges out of shares of a Fund that accrues a daily dividend will accrue a dividend on the day of the exchange.
The exchange privilege is not intended as a way for you to speculate on short-term movements in the market. Therefore, to prevent disruptions in the management of J.P. Morgan Funds, certain J.P. Morgan Funds limit excessive exchange activity as described in the “Frequent Trading Policy” section. Your exchange privilege will be limited or revoked if the exchange activity is considered excessive. In addition, any J.P. Morgan Fund may reject any exchange request for any reason, including if it is not in the best interests of the Fund and/or its shareholders to accept the exchange.
Following an exchange, the fees and expenses of the new share class may be higher than those of the class you previously held. You should carefully review the prospectus for the new share class, including information on the fees, expenses and exchange features of the new share class, or contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Tax Consequences on Exchanges
Generally, an exchange between J.P. Morgan Funds is considered a sale and generally results in a capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. An exchange between classes of shares of the same Fund is generally not taxable for federal income tax purposes. You should talk to your tax advisor before making an exchange.
Redeeming Fund Shares
If you sell shares through your Financial Intermediary, contact your investment representative for its requirements and procedures. If a Financial Intermediary holds your shares, it is the responsibility of the Financial Intermediary to send your redemption order to the Fund. Your Financial Intermediary may have an earlier cut-off time for redemption orders.
If you sell shares directly with a Fund, see the information below.
Your redemption proceeds may be mailed to you at your address of record1 or wired to a pre-existing bank account on file.

You cannot request a redemption by check to be sent to an address updated within 15 days.
You may redeem some or all of your shares on any day that the Funds are open for business. You will not be permitted to enter a redemption order for shares purchased directly through J.P. Morgan Funds Services by check for five business days following the acceptance of a purchase order unless you provide satisfactory proof that your purchase check has cleared (sometimes referred to as uncollected shares).
If a Fund or Financial Intermediary receives your redemption order before the close of the NYSE (normally 4 p.m. ET or before 4:00 p.m. ET, if the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. ET), you will receive the NAV per share calculated after your redemption order is received in good order (meaning that it includes the information required by, and complies with security requirements implemented by, the Fund’s transfer agent or the Fund), minus the amount of any applicable fees. Your Financial Intermediary may have an earlier cut-off time for redemption orders and may charge a fee to process redemption of shares. A shareholder that redeems out of shares of a Fund that accrues a daily dividend will accrue a dividend on the day of the redemption.
All redemption requests must be supported by valid identity authentication, the appropriate documentation (if applicable) and any necessary information in good order. Additional information may be required depending on the situation.
For accounts held directly with the Funds, the length of time that the Funds typically expect to pay redemption proceeds depends on whether payment is made by ACH, wire or check. The Funds typically expect to make payments of redemption proceeds by wire on the next business day following receipt of the redemption order by the Funds. For payment by check, the Funds typically expect to mail the check on the next business day following receipt of the redemption order by the Funds.
For accounts held through Financial Intermediaries, the length of time that the Funds typically expect to pay redemption proceeds depends on the method of payment and the agreement between the Financial Intermediary and the Funds. For redemption proceeds that are paid directly to you by the Fund, the Fund typically expects to make payments by wire or by mailing a check on the next business day following the Fund’s receipt of a redemption order from the Financial Intermediary. For payments that are made to your Financial Intermediary for transmittal to you, the Funds expect to pay redemption proceeds to the Financial Intermediary within 1 to 3 business days following the Fund’s receipt of the redemption order from the Financial Intermediary.
Payment of redemption proceeds may take longer than the time a Fund typically expects and may take up to seven days as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Transactions by phone, fax or the Internet
You may access your account and conduct certain transactions using phone, fax or the J.P. Morgan Funds website. Phone conversations are recorded. The J.P.

Therefore please take precautions to protect your account information and immediately review account statements or other information provided to you. In addition, a

confirmation is sent promptly after a transaction. Please review it carefully and contact J.P. Morgan Funds Services or your Financial Intermediary immediately about any transaction you believe to be unauthorized. You may revoke your right to make redemptions over the phone or by mailing written instructions to us.
You may not always reach J.P. Morgan Funds Services by phone or online. This may be true at times of unusual market changes and shareholder activity. You can mail us your instructions or contact your Financial Intermediary. We may modify or cancel the ability to purchase or redeem shares online or by phone without notice.
Additional Information Regarding Redemptions
Medallion signature guarantees may be required if:
You want to redeem shares with a value of $50,000 or more and you want to receive your proceeds in the form of a check; or
You want your payment sent to an address, bank account or payee other than the one currently designated on your Fund account.
The Fund may refuse to honor incomplete redemption orders.
The Fund may suspend your ability to redeem when:
1.
Trading on the NYSE is restricted;
2.
The NYSE is closed (other than weekend and holiday closings);
3.
Federal securities laws permit;
4.
The SEC has permitted a suspension; or
5.
An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC.
You generally will recognize a gain or loss on a redemption for federal income tax purposes. You should talk to your tax advisor before making a redemption.
Generally, all redemptions will be for cash. The J.P. Morgan Funds typically expect to satisfy redemption requests by selling portfolio assets or by using holdings of cash or cash equivalents. On a less regular basis, the Funds may also satisfy redemption requests by borrowing from another Fund, by drawing on a line of credit from a bank, or using other short-term borrowings from its custodian. These methods may be used during both normal and stressed market conditions. In addition to paying redemption proceeds in cash, if you redeem shares worth $250,000 or more, the J.P. Morgan Funds reserve the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash. If payment is made in securities, the Fund will value the securities selected in the same manner in which it computes its NAV. This process minimizes the effect of large redemptions on the Fund and its remaining shareholders. If you receive a redemption in-kind, securities received by you may be subject to market risk and you could incur taxable gains and brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash. While the J.P. Morgan Funds do not routinely use redemptions in-kind, the Funds reserve the right to use redemptions in-kind to manage the impact of large redemptions on the Funds. Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by delivering a pro-rata amount of a Fund’s holdings that are readily marketable securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the Fund’s receipt of the redemption order.
The Funds and their service providers may temporarily hold redemption proceeds from accounts maintained directly with the Funds if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified Adult” refers to an individual who is (A) a natural person age 65 and older; or (B) a natural person age 18 and older who the member reasonably believes has a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
Minimum Account Balance
If your account value falls below the required minimum balance, that Fund and/or the Distributor reserve the right to redeem all of the remaining shares in your account and close your account. Before this action is taken, you will be given 60 days advance written notice in order to provide you with time to increase your account balance to the required minimum, by purchasing sufficient shares, in accordance with the terms of this prospectus.
Closings, Reorganizations and Liquidations
To the extent authorized by law, each Fund reserves the right to discontinue offering shares at any time, to merge or reorganize itself or a share class, or to cease operations and liquidate at any time.
182  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Frequent Trading Policy
J.P. Morgan Funds do not authorize market timing and, except for the Funds identified below, use reasonable methods to identify market timers and to prevent such activity. However, there can be no assurance that these methods will prevent market timing or other trading that may be deemed abusive. Market timing is an investment strategy using frequent purchases, redemptions and/or exchanges in an attempt to profit from short-term market movements. Market timing may result in dilution of the value of Fund shares held by long-term shareholders, disrupt portfolio management and increase Fund expenses for all shareholders. Although market timing may affect any Fund, these risks may be higher for Funds that invest significantly in non-U.S. securities or thinly traded securities (e.g., certain small cap securities), such as international, global or emerging market funds or small cap funds. For example, when a Fund invests in securities trading principally in non-U.S. markets that close prior to the close of the NYSE, market timers may seek to take advantage of the difference between the prices of these securities at the close of their non-U.S. markets and the value of such securities when the Fund calculates its net asset value.
J.P. Morgan Funds or the Distributor will prohibit any purchase order (including exchanges) with respect to one investor, a related group of investors or their agent(s) where they detect a pattern of either purchases and sales of one of the J.P. Morgan Funds, or exchanges between or among J.P. Morgan Funds, that indicates market timing or trading that they determine is abusive.
Although J.P. Morgan Funds use a variety of methods to detect and deter market timing, there is no assurance that the Funds’ own operational systems and procedures will identify and eliminate all market timing strategies. For example, certain accounts, which are known as omnibus accounts, include multiple investors and such accounts typically provide the Funds with a net purchase or redemption order on any given day where purchasers of Fund shares and redeemers of Fund shares are netted against one another and the identity of individual purchasers and redeemers are not known by the Funds. While the Funds seek to monitor for market timing activities in omnibus accounts, the netting effect limits the Funds’ ability to locate and eliminate individual market timers. As a result, the Funds are often dependent upon Financial Intermediaries who utilize their own policies and procedures to identify market timers. These policies and procedures may be different than those utilized by the Funds.
The Boards of J.P. Morgan Funds have adopted various policies and procedures to identify market timers, including reviewing “round trips” in and out of J.P. Morgan Funds by investors. A “round trip” includes a purchase or exchange into a Fund followed or preceded by a redemption or exchange out of the same Fund. If the Distributor detects that you have completed two round trips within 60 days in the same Fund, the Distributor will reject your purchase and exchange orders for a period of at least 90 days. For subsequent violations, the Distributor may, in its sole discretion, reject your purchase and exchange orders temporarily or permanently. In identifying market timers, the Distributor may also consider activity of accounts that it believes to be under common ownership or control.
J.P. Morgan Funds have attempted to put safeguards in place to assure that Financial Intermediaries have implemented procedures designed to deter market timing and abusive trading. Despite these safeguards, there is no assurance that the Funds will be able to effectively identify and eliminate market timing and abusive trading in the Funds particularly with respect to omnibus accounts.
J.P. Morgan Funds will seek to apply the Funds’ market timing policies and restrictions as uniformly as practicable to accounts with the Funds, except with respect to the following:
1.
Trades that occur through omnibus accounts at Financial Intermediaries as described above;
2.
Purchases, redemptions and exchanges made on a systematic basis;
3.
Automatic reinvestments of dividends and distributions;
4.
Purchases, redemptions or exchanges that are part of a rebalancing program, such as a wrap, advisory or bona fide asset allocation program, which includes investment models developed and maintained by a financial intermediary;
5.
Redemptions of shares to pay fund or account fees;
6.
Transactions initiated by the trustee or adviser to a donor-advised charitable gift fund;
7.
Transactions in Section 529 college savings plans;
8.
Transactions in Fund of Fund Products; and
9.
Transactions within a Retirement account such as:
Shares redeemed to return an excess contribution;
Transactions initiated by sponsors of group employee benefit plans or other related accounts;
Retirement plan contributions, loans, distributions, and hardship withdrawals;

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
IRA re-characterizations and conversions; and
IRA purchases of shares by asset transfer or direct rollover.
In addition to rejecting purchases in connection with suspected market timing activities, the Distributor can reject a purchase (including purchases for the Funds listed below) for any reason, including purchases that it does not think are in the best interests of a Fund and/or its shareholders or if it determines the trading to be abusive. Your Financial Intermediary may also have additional procedures for identifying market timers and rejecting or otherwise restricting purchases and/or exchanges.
Certain J.P. Morgan Funds are intended for short-term investment horizons and do not monitor for market timers or prohibit such short-term trading activity. Those Funds are the JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund, JPMorgan Short Duration Core Plus Fund, JPMorgan Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, JPMorgan Limited Duration Bond Fund, JPMorgan Managed Income Fund, JPMorgan Ultra-Short Municipal Fund and the J.P. Morgan Money Market Funds. Although these Funds are managed in a manner that is consistent with their investment objectives, frequent trading by shareholders may disrupt their management and increase their expenses.
Valuation
Shares are purchased at NAV per share. This is also known as the offering price. Shares are also redeemed at NAV. The NAV of each class within a Fund varies, primarily because each class has different class-specific expenses such as distribution and service fees.
The NAV per share of a class of a Fund is equal to the value of all the assets attributable to that class, minus the liabilities attributable to that class, divided by the number of outstanding shares of that class. The following is a summary of the procedures generally used to value J.P. Morgan Funds’ investments.
Securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at their current market value. Other securities and assets, including securities for which market quotations are not readily available; market quotations are determined not to be reliable; or, their value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded but before a Fund’s NAV is calculated, may be valued at fair value in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the J.P. Morgan Funds’ Board of Trustees. Fair value represents a good faith determination of the value of a security or other asset based upon specifically applied procedures. Fair valuation may require subjective determinations. There can be no assurance that the fair value of an asset is the price at which the asset could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used in determining a Fund’s NAV.
Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Other foreign equity securities are fair valued using quotations from an independent pricing service, as applicable. The value of securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. is generally the NASDAQ official closing price.
Fixed income securities are valued using prices supplied by an approved independent third party or affiliated pricing services or broker/dealers. Those prices are determined using a variety of inputs and factors as more fully described in the Statement of Additional Information.
Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing market rates from an approved independent pricing service as of 4:00 p.m. ET.
Shares of ETFs are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the ETF is principally traded. Shares of open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
Options traded on U.S. securities exchanges are valued at the composite mean price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes.
Options traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the settled price, or if no settled price is available, at the last sale price available prior to the calculation of a Fund’s NAV and will be fair valued by applying fair value factors provided by independent pricing services, as applicable, for any options involving equity reference obligations listed on exchanges other than North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchanges.
Exchange traded futures are valued at the last sale price available prior to the calculation of a Fund’s NAV. Any futures involving equity reference obligations listed on exchanges other than North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchanges will be fair valued by applying fair value factors provided by independent pricing services, as applicable.
Non-listed over-the-counter options and futures are valued utilizing market quotations provided by approved pricing services.
Swaps and structured notes are priced generally by an approved independent third party or affiliated pricing service or at an evaluated price provided by a counterparty or broker/dealer.
184  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Any derivatives involving equity reference obligations listed on exchanges other than North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchanges will be fair valued by applying fair value factors provided by independent pricing services, as applicable.
NAV is calculated each business day as of the close of the NYSE, which is typically 4:00 p.m. ET. On occasion, the NYSE will close before 4:00 p.m. ET. When that happens, NAV will be calculated as of the time the NYSE closes. The Funds will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption or closure in NYSE trading as a closure of the NYSE and will calculate NAV as of 4:00 p.m. ET, if the particular disruption or closure directly affects only the NYSE. The price at which a purchase is effected is based on the next calculation of NAV after the order is received in proper form in accordance with this prospectus. To the extent a Fund invests in securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges or other markets that trade on weekends or other days when a Fund does not price its shares, the value of a Fund’s shares may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem your shares.
Distributions and Taxes
Each Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each taxable year as a regulated investment company. A regulated investment company is not subject to tax at the corporate level on income and gains from investments that are distributed to shareholders. Each Fund’s failure to qualify as a regulated investment company would result in corporate-level taxation and, consequently, a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.
Each Fund can earn income and realize capital gain. Each Fund deducts any expenses and then pays out the earnings, if any, to shareholders as distributions.
The Income Fund and the Preferred and Income Securities Fund generally distribute net investment income, if any, at least monthly. The Funds declare dividends of investment income, if any, daily and distributes net investment income, if any, at least monthly. In connection with the Funds’ strategy of managing distributions throughout the year to help minimize fluctuations in monthly dividends, each Fund may not distribute all of its net investment income on a monthly basis. Each Fund will distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually but may distribute gains more frequently in connection with the Fund’s strategy of managing distributions. For each taxable year, the Income Fund and the Preferred and Income Securities Fund will generally distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains. However, in connection with each Fund’s strategy of managing distributions, each Fund may carry over a portion of undistributed income from one calendar year to the next, which may be subject to an excise tax in accordance with Internal Revenue Code. The Income Fund and the Preferred and Income Securities Fund each intend to make distributions sufficient to avoid imposition of an excise tax, although each Fund reserves the right to pay an excise tax in certain circumstances.
The other Funds also generally distribute net investment income, if any, at least monthly. Such Funds will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. For each taxable year, each such Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains.
You have the following options for your distributions. You may:
Reinvest all distributions in additional Fund shares;
Take distributions of net investment income in cash and reinvest distributions of net capital gain in additional shares;
Take distributions of net capital gain in cash and reinvest distributions of net investment income; or
Take all distributions in cash.
If you do not select an option when you open your account, we will reinvest all distributions. If your distributions are reinvested, they will be in the form of shares of the same class without a sales charge. If you take your distributions in cash, you can choose to have a check mailed to your address of record or you can have them deposited into a pre-assigned bank account. The taxation of the dividends will not be affected whether you have them deposited into a bank account or sent by check.
Distributions of net investment income generally are taxable as ordinary income. Dividends of net investment income paid to a non-corporate U.S. shareholder that are properly reported as qualified dividend income generally will be taxable to such shareholder at preferential rates. The maximum individual federal income tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” is either 15% or 20%, depending on whether the individual’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts. The amount of dividend income that may be so reported by a Fund generally will be limited to the aggregate of the eligible dividends received by each Fund. In addition, a Fund must meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to the shares on which the Fund received the eligible dividends, and the non-corporate U.S. shareholder must meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to the Fund. The amount of a Fund’s distributions that would otherwise qualify for this favorable tax treatment may be reduced as a result of the Fund’s securities lending activities or high portfolio turnover rate. Dividends of net investment income that are not reported as
July 1, 2023  |  185

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
either qualified dividend income or exempt-interest dividend income and dividends of net short-term capital gain will be taxable to a U.S. shareholder as ordinary income. It is unlikely that dividends from any of the Funds will qualify to a significant extent for designation as qualified dividend income.
Distributions of net capital gain (that is, the excess of the net gains from the sale of investments that a Fund owned for more than one year over the net losses from investments that the Fund owned for one year or less) that are properly reported by a Fund as capital gain dividends will be taxable as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long you have held your shares in the Fund. The maximum individual federal income tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains is generally either 15% or 20%, depending on whether the individual’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts. Distributions of net short-term capital gain (that is, the excess of any net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss), if any, will be taxable to U.S. shareholders as ordinary income. Capital gain of a corporate shareholder is taxed at the same rate as ordinary income.
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares, but excluding any exempt-interest dividends received from a Fund) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts.
If you buy shares of a Fund just before a distribution, you will be subject to tax on the entire amount of the taxable distribution you receive. Distributions are taxable to you even if they are paid from income or gains earned by a Fund before your investment (and thus were included in the price you paid for your Fund shares). Any gain resulting from the sale or exchange of Fund shares generally will be taxable as long-term or short-term gain, depending upon how long you have held your shares.
Each Fund is generally subject to foreign withholding or other foreign taxes, which in some cases can be significant on any income or gain from investments in foreign stocks or securities. In that case, the Fund’s total return on those securities would be decreased.
Each Fund may generally deduct these taxes in computing its taxable income. Rather than deducting these foreign taxes, a Fund that invests more than 50% of its assets in the stock or securities of foreign corporations or foreign governments at the end of its taxable year may make an election to treat a proportionate amount of eligible foreign taxes as constituting a taxable distribution to each shareholder, which would, subject to certain limitations, generally allow the shareholder to either (i) credit that proportionate amount of taxes against U.S. Federal income tax liability as a foreign tax credit or (ii) take that amount as an itemized deduction. Any foreign tax withheld on payments made "in lieu of" dividends or interest with respect to loaned securities will not qualify for the pass-through of foreign tax credits to shareholders. Although in some cases the Fund may be able to apply for a refund of a portion of such taxes, the ability to successfully obtain such a refund may be uncertain.
A Fund’s investments in certain debt obligations, derivative instruments and so-called “passive foreign investment companies” may require such Fund to accrue and distribute income not yet received. In order to generate sufficient cash to make the requisite distributions, a Fund may be required to liquidate other investments in its portfolio that it otherwise would have continued to hold, including when it is not advantageous to do so.
A Fund’s investments in REIT securities also may result in the Fund’s receipt of cash in excess of the REIT’s earnings; if a Fund distributes such amounts, such distributions could constitute a return of capital to Fund shareholders for federal income tax purposes.
A Fund’s transactions in futures contracts, short sales, swaps and other derivatives will be subject to special tax rules, the effect of which may be to accelerate income to the Fund, defer losses to the Fund, cause adjustments in the holding periods of the Fund’s securities, and convert short-term capital losses into long-term capital losses. These rules could therefore affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders. A Fund’s use of these types of transactions may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions.
Please see the Statement of Additional Information for additional discussion of the tax consequences of the above-described and other investments to each Fund and its shareholders.
The dates on which net investment income and capital gain dividends, if any, will be distributed are available online at www.jpmorganfunds.com.
Early in each calendar year, each Fund will send you a notice showing the amount of distributions you received during the preceding calendar year and the tax status of those distributions.
The Funds are not intended for foreign shareholders. Any foreign shareholders would generally be subject to U.S. tax-withholding on distributions by the Funds, as discussed in the Statement of Additional Information.
186  |  J.P. Morgan Income Funds

Distributions by a Fund to retirement plans and other entities that qualify for tax-exempt or tax-deferred treatment under federal income tax laws will generally not be taxable. Special tax rules apply to investments through such plans. The tax considerations described in this section do not apply to such tax-exempt or tax-deferred entities or accounts. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the suitability of a Fund as an investment and the tax treatment of distributions.
Any investor for whom a Fund does not have a valid Taxpayer Identification Number may be subject to backup withholding.
The above is a general summary of tax implications of investing in the Funds. Because each investor’s tax consequences are unique, please consult your tax advisor to see how investing in a Fund and, for individuals and S corporations, selection of a particular cost method of accounting will affect your own tax situation.

IMPORTANT TAX REPORTING CONSIDERATIONS
Your Financial Intermediary or the Fund (if you hold your shares in the Fund direct account) will report gains and losses realized on redemptions of shares for shareholders who are individuals and S corporations purchased after January 1, 2012 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This information will also be reported to you on Form 1099-B and the IRS each year. In calculating the gain or loss on redemptions of shares, the average cost method will be used to determine the cost basis of Fund shares purchased after January 1, 2012 unless you instruct the Fund in writing at J.P. Morgan Funds Services, P.O. Box 219143, Kansas City, MO 64121-9143 that you want to use another available method for cost basis reporting (for example, First In, First Out (FIFO), Last In, First Out (LIFO), Specific Lot Identification (SLID) or High Cost, First Out (HIFO)). If you designate SLID as your cost basis method, you will also need to designate a secondary cost basis method (Secondary Method). If a Secondary Method is not provided, the Fund will designate FIFO as the Secondary Method and will use the Secondary Method with respect to systematic redemptions.
Not all cost basis methods are available. Please contact the Fund at J.P. Morgan Funds Services, P.O. Box 219143, Kansas City, MO 64121-9143 for more information on the available methods for cost basis reporting. To determine which available cost basis method is best for you, you should consult with your tax advisor. Please note that you will be responsible for calculating and reporting gains and losses on redemptions of shares purchased prior to January 1, 2012 to the IRS as such information will not be reported by the Fund and may not be maintained by your Financial Intermediary.
Your Financial Intermediary or the Fund (if you hold your shares in the Fund direct account) is also required to report gains and losses to the IRS in connection with redemptions of shares by S corporations. If a shareholder is a corporation and has not instructed the Fund that it is a C corporation in its account application or by written instruction to J.P. Morgan Funds Services, P.O. Box 219143, Kansas City, MO 64121-9143, the Fund will treat the shareholder as an S corporation and file a Form 1099-B.
Shareholder Statements and Reports
The J.P. Morgan Funds or your Financial Intermediary will send you transaction confirmation statements and quarterly account statements. Please review these statements carefully. The Funds will correct errors if notified within one year of the date printed on the transaction confirmation or account statement. Your Financial Intermediary may have a different cut-off time. J.P. Morgan Funds will charge a fee for requests for statements that are older than two years. Please retain all of your statements, as they could be needed for tax purposes.
To reduce expenses and conserve natural resources, the J.P. Morgan Funds will deliver a single copy of prospectuses and financial reports to individual investors who share a residential address, provided they have the same last name or the J.P. Morgan Funds reasonably believe they are members of the same family. If you would like to receive separate mailings, please call 1-800-480-4111 and the Fund will begin individual delivery within 30 days. If you would like to receive these documents by e-mail, please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com and sign up for electronic delivery.
If you hold your Fund shares directly, you may access your account statements at www.jpmorganfunds.com.
After each fiscal half year you will receive a financial report from the Funds. In addition, the Funds will periodically send you proxy statements and other reports.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please write to J.P. Morgan Funds Services at P.O. Box 219143, Kansas City, MO 64121-9143, call 1-800-480-4111 or visit www.jpmorganfunds.com.

Availability of Proxy Voting Record
The Trustees for each Fund have delegated the authority to vote proxies for securities owned by the Funds to the Funds' adviser. A copy of each Fund’s voting record for the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or on J.P. Morgan Funds’ website at www.jpmorganfunds.com no later than August 31 of each year. Each Fund’s proxy voting record will include, among other things, a brief description of the matter voted on for each portfolio security, and will state how each vote was cast, for example, for or against the proposal.
Portfolio Holdings Disclosure
No sooner than three calendar days after the end of each month for the Core Bond Fund, Short Duration Bond Fund and Strategic Income Opportunities Fund and no sooner than seven calendar days after the end of each month for the Funds, other than the Core Bond Fund, Short Duration Bond Fund and Strategic Income Opportunities Fund, each Fund will make available upon request an uncertified, complete schedule of its portfolio holdings as of the last day of that month. Not later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, each Fund will make available a complete schedule of its portfolio holdings as of the last day of that quarter.
In addition to providing hard copies upon request, the Funds will post these schedules on the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website at www.jpmorganfunds.com. In addition, the quarterly schedules will be posted on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. From time to time, each Fund may post portfolio holdings on the J.P. Morgan Funds’ website on a more timely basis.
Each Fund may disclose the Fund’s 10 largest portfolio holdings and the percentage that each of these 10 holdings represent of the Fund’s portfolio as of the most recent month’s end, online at www.jpmorganfunds.com, no sooner than 10 calendar days after month’s end.
Shareholders may request portfolio holdings schedules at no charge by calling 1-800-480-4111. A description of each Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of a Fund’s portfolio holdings is available in the Statement of Additional Information.

Zero-Coupon Securities
Risk related to certain investments held by the Funds:
Credit risk The risk that a financial obligation will not be met by the issuer of a security or the counterparty to a contract, resulting in a loss to the purchaser.
Currency risk The risk that currency exchange rate fluctuations may reduce gains or increase losses on foreign investments.
Environmental risk The risk that an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs associated with hazardous or toxic substances located on the property.
Extension risk The risk that a rise in interest rates will extend the life of a security to a date later than the anticipated prepayment date, causing the value of the investment to fall.
Foreign investment risk The risk associated with higher transaction costs, delayed settlements, currency controls, adverse economic developments, and exchange rate volatility. These risks are increased in emerging markets.
Government securities risk U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. Securities issued or guaranteed by certain U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support.
High yield securities risk High yield, high risk securities (also known as junk bonds) which are considered to be speculative and these investments are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and a potential lack of a secondary or public market for securities.
Interest rate risk The risk that a change in interest rates will adversely affect the value of an investment. The value of fixed income securities generally moves in the opposite direction of interest rates (decreases when interest rates rise and increases when interest rates fall). A Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy, such as an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve.
Investment company risk If a Fund invests in shares of another investment company, shareholders would bear not only their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also similar expenses of the investment company. The price movement of an investment company that is an ETF may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss.
Leverage risk The risk that gains or losses will be disproportionately higher than the amount invested.
Liquidity risk The risk that the holder may not be able to sell the security at the time or price it desires.
Management risk The risk that a strategy used by a Fund’s management may fail to produce the intended result. This includes the risk that changes in the value of a hedging instrument will not match those of the asset being hedged. Incomplete matching can result in unanticipated risks.
Market risk The risk that when the market as a whole declines, the value of a specific investment will decline proportionately. This systematic risk is common to all investments and the mutual funds that purchase them.
Natural event risk The risk that a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or similar event, will cause severe economic losses and default in payments by the issuer of the security.
Political risk The risk that governmental policies or other political actions will negatively impact the value of the investment.
Portfolio quality risk The risks associated with below investment grade securities including greater risk of default, greater sensitivity to interest rates and economic changes, potential valuation difficulties, and sudden and unexpected changes in credit quality.
Prepayment risk The risk that declining interest rates or other factors will result in unexpected prepayments, causing the value of the investment to fall.
Tax risk The risk that the issuer of the securities will fail to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, which could cause adverse tax consequences. Also the risk that the tax treatment of municipal or other securities could be changed by Congress thereby affecting the value of outstanding securities.
Valuation risk The risk that the estimated value of a security does not match the actual amount that can be realized if the security is sold.
Zero-Coupon securities risk The market value of these securities are generally more volatile than the market value of, and is more likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates than, other fixed income securities with similar maturities and credit quality that pay interest periodically. Actions required by federal income tax law may reduce the assets to which a Fund’s expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce a Fund’s rate of return.

Financial Highlights
The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for each share class for the past five fiscal years or period of a Fund’s operations, as applicable. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information for each period presented has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, whose reports, along with each Fund’s financial statements, are included in the respective Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request.
To the extent a Fund invests in other funds, the Total Annual Operating Expenses included in the Fee Table will not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights below.

Additional Fee and Expense Information
ADDITIONAL FEE AND EXPENSE INFORMATION
AFFECTING THE JPMT II FUNDS
In connection with the 2004 final settlement between Banc One Investment Advisors Corporation (BOIA), subsequently known as JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc. (JPMIA1), with the New York Attorney General arising out of market timing of certain mutual funds advised by BOIA, BOIA agreed, among other things, to disclose hypothetical information regarding investment and expenses information to Fund shareholders. The hypothetical examples are provided for JPMT II Funds or those Funds that have acquired the assets and liabilities of a JPMT II Fund or a series of One Group Mutual Funds.
The “Gross Expense Ratio” includes the contractual expenses that make up the investment advisory, administration and shareholder service fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, fees paid to vendors not affiliated with JPMIM that provide services to the Funds and other fees and expenses of the Funds. The “Net Expense Ratio” is Gross Expenses less any fee waivers or expense reimbursements memorialized in a written contract between the Funds and JPMIM and/or its affiliates, as applicable.

A Fund’s annual return is reduced by its fees and expenses for that year. The examples below are intended to help you understand the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s fees and expenses on your investment through a hypothetical investment of $10,000 held for the next 10 years. The examples assume the following:
On 7/1/23, you invest $10,000 in the Fund and you will hold the shares for the entire 10 year period;
Your investment has a 5% return each year;
The Fund’s operating expenses remain at the levels discussed below and are not affected by increases or decreases in Fund assets over time;
At the time of purchase, any applicable initial sales charges (loads) are deducted; and
There is no sales charge (load) on reinvested dividends.
The annual costs are calculated using the Net Expense Ratios for the period through the expiration of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements memorialized in a written contract between the Funds and JPMIM and/or its affiliates; and the Gross Expense Ratios thereafter.

“Gross Cumulative Return” shows what the cumulative return on your investment at the end of each fiscal year would be if Fund expenses are not deducted. “Net Cumulative Return” shows what the cumulative return on your investment at the end of each year would be assuming Fund expenses are deducted each year in the amount shown under “Annual Costs.”
Your actual costs may be higher or lower than those shown.
