President's Letter
October 19, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder,
The U.S. economy has continued to expand this year as financial markets have largely generated positive returns even as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) sought to further reduce inflation by raising interest rates. For the six months ended August 31, 2023, equities markets largely outperformed fixed income markets and the U.S. markets led developed market returns, which generally outperformed emerging markets.

“A properly diversified portfolio
together with a long-term approach
may help investors weather economic
and geopolitical uncertainties.”
— Brian S. Shlissel

While inflation in the U.S. had seemingly subsided since the beginning of 2023, pressures raised by geopolitical events have contributed to elevated global prices, particularly for energy  and food. The Fed responded to economic conditions this year by continuing to raise interest rates at its meetings in February, March and  May but then took a pause from an additional increase at its June 2023 meeting. The Fed then raised the benchmark fed funds discount rate by a quarter of a percentage point in July to 5.50%, then held steady in September.
Higher interest rates in the U.S. have been accompanied by slower economic growth, as gross domestic product edged downward to 2.1% in the second quarter of 2023 from 2.2% in the first quarter. However, estimates on certain key U.S. economic data this year have been revised upward and a surge in consumer spending and factory output during the summer
has brightened the outlook for third quarter growth. Corporate earnings have generally remained strong and the U.S. unemployment rate has remained historically low, although it rose to 3.8% in August from 3.4% in March 2023.
The outlook for the U.S. economy appears brighter than many economists had forecasted at the beginning of the year, as some have prognosticated that the Fed appears to be at, or near, the end of its monetary tightening cycle. Notably, the Fed, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, as well as certain other developed market central banks, have generally articulated a “higher-for-longer” policy stance, indicating they may not raise interest rates much further but they also do not currently expect to lower rates anytime soon.
Meanwhile, geopolitical events have sharply raised investor uncertainty. Conflicts in the Middle East may have unforeseen impacts on the global economy, while the war in Ukraine has been ongoing for more than 600 days with no clear end in sight.
A properly diversified portfolio together with a long-term approach may help investors weather economic and geopolitical uncertainties. Our suite of investment solutions seeks to provide investors with ability to build durable portfolios that meet their financial goals.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Shlissel

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE***
The JPMorgan BetaBuilders MSCI US REIT ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the MSCI US REIT Custom Capped Index (the “Underlying Index”).
INVESTMENT APPROACH
The Underlying Index is a free-float adjusted market-cap weighted index designed to measure the performance of U.S. equity real estate investment trust (REIT) securities. Using a passive investment approach, the Fund attempts to replicate the constituent securities of the Underlying Index as closely as possible and invests at least 80% of its assets in securities included in the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index includes a capping methodology, which is designed to prevent the weight of any single issuer, and the aggregate weight of issuers representing over 5% of the Underlying Index, from exceeding a maximum of 25% of the Underlying Index.
HOW DID THE MARKET PERFORM?
While U.S. equities largely generated positive returns for the six-month period, shares of REITs underperformed the broader market. The U.S. Federal Reserve continued to raise interest rates throughout most of the period in response to elevated inflation levels. Data showed inflation in the U.S. receding faster than most economists had expected, and spending by both consumers and businesses generally remained buoyant during the period. Aggregate corporate earnings were generally better than analysts expected.
The six-month period was bracketed by events that increased financial market volatility. In March 2023, the financials sector was roiled by the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank in the U.S., and Credit Suisse Group AG in Switzerland. However, in each case government regulators moved to prevent further contagion within the banking industry. In early August 2023, Fitch Ratings Inc. downgraded U.S. sovereign debt, citing rising government spending and political uncertainty surrounding the ability of Congress to lift the U.S. debt ceiling.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
For the six months ended August 31, 2023, the Fund performed in line with the Underlying Index, before considering the effects of operating expenses, fees and tax management of the Fund’s portfolio.
During the period, rising interest rates and weakness in the office and retail properties market weighed on the broader REIT sector and hurt performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index. Industrial and health care property REITS generally outperformed other REIT sectors during the period.
HOW WAS THE FUND POSITIONED?
At the end of the reporting period, the Fund’s and the Underlying Index’s largest allocations were to the diversified and apartment REIT sectors and the smallest allocations were
to the hotels and regional malls REIT sectors.

LIFE OF FUND PERFORMANCE (6/15/18 TO 8/31/23)
The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Exchange-traded funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-844-457-6383. 
Fund commenced operations on June 15, 2018.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in shares of the JPMorgan BetaBuilders MSCI US REIT ETF and the MSCI US REIT Custom Capped Index from June 15, 2018 to August 31, 2023. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the MSCI US REIT Custom Capped Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with an exchange-traded fund and has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions of the securities included in the respective Index, if applicable.
The MSCI US REIT Custom Capped Index is designed to measure the performance of the US equity REIT market across all market capitalizations. It
starts with the universe and weightings of stocks in the MSCI US REIT Index and applies certain investment limits designed to prevent the weight of any single issuer, and the aggregate weight of issuers representing over 5% of the MSCI US REIT Custom Capped Index, from exceeding a maximum of 25% of the MSCI US REIT Custom Capped Index.
For periods presented prior to the adoption of a unitary fee structure, Fund performance reflects the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods since the inception date. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemption or sale of Fund shares.
The returns shown are based on net asset values calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the net asset values in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(a)
Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted.
(b)
Calculated based upon average shares outstanding.
(c)
Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(d)
Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset values for financial
reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns for shareholder transactions.
(e)
Prior to December 9, 2019, market price return was calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market price at the beginning of the reporting period,
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at market price during the period, and sale at the market price on the last day of the period. The price used to
calculate the market price return was the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at the close of business on the listing exchange of the Fund. Effective December 9, 2019,
the closing price was used to calculate the market price return; however, any prices used in the calculation for market price return prior to December 9, 2019,
would have used the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at the close of business on the exchange.
(f)
Calculation of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share does not correlate with the Fund’s net realized and unrealized gains (losses) presented in
the Statement of Operations due to the timing of capital transactions in relation to the fluctuating market values of the Fund’s investments.
(g)
Prior to November 1, 2019, the Fund may have waived fees if expenses exceeded the expense cap. On November 1, 2019, the Fund adopted a unitary fee structure
where a management fee is accrued by the Fund based on prior day net assets and other expenses are paid by the Advisor.
(h)
Commencement of operations.
(i)
Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until the day after the Fund’s inception, for the period from the inception to the first day of
secondary market trading, the net asset value is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate the market returns.
(j)
Certain non-recurring expenses incurred by the Fund were not annualized for the period indicated.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF August 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on February 25, 2010, and is governed by a Declaration of Trust as amended and restated February 19, 2014, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. JPMorgan BetaBuilders MSCI US REIT ETF (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified series of the Trust covered in this report. 
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the MSCI US REIT Custom Capped Index.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as adviser (the “Adviser”) and administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Fund.
Shares of the Fund are listed and traded at market price on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. Market prices for the Fund’s shares may be different from its net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems its shares on a continuous basis, through JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, at NAV in large blocks of shares, referred to as “Creation Units". Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities and/or cash. Shares are generally traded in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only individuals or institutions that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the Distributor may do business directly with the Fund (each, an “Authorized Participant”). 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
A. Valuation of Investments  Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Fund's valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board"), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Board is required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations.  Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Board may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Board has designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Fund on behalf of the Board subject to appropriate oversight by the Board. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the NAV of the Fund is calculated on a valuation date.  
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Fund's investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2 Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
14
J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds
August 31, 2023


A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments ("SOI"):

B. Securities Lending The Fund is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Fund is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Fund, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Fund retains the interest earned on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Fund). Upon termination of a loan, the Fund is required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Fund also receives payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Fund bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Fund may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
The following table presents the Fund's value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Fund as of August 31, 2023.

Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower.
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF August 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)
JPMIM voluntarily waived management fees charged to the Fund to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.13% to 0.06%. For the six months ended August 31, 2023, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Fund's investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
 
$1,335
The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).
C. Investment Transactions with Affiliates  The Fund invested in Underlying Funds advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund assumes the issuers listed in the table below to be affiliated issuers.

D. Futures Contracts  The Fund used index futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to the stock market, or maintain liquidity or minimize transaction costs. The Fund also purchased futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.
Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts on the Statement of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOI, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The use of futures contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk. The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. The Fund may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Fund's credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.

J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds
August 31, 2023


The Fund's futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions). 
The table below discloses the volume of the Fund's futures contracts activity during the six months ended August 31, 2023:
 
 
Futures Contracts:
Average Notional Balance Long
$4,084,469
Ending Notional Balance Long
1,434,840
E. Security Transactions and Investment Income  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend. 
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Fund records distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Fund adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
F. Federal Income Taxes  The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund's tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of August 31, 2023, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
G. Distributions to Shareholders  Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared  and paid at least quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Management Fee  JPMIM manages the investments of the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement. For such services, JPMIM is paid a fee, which is accrued daily and paid no more frequently than monthly at an annual rate of 0.11% of the Fund's average daily net assets. 
Under the Management Agreement, JPMIM is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, (including expenses of the Trust relating to the Fund), except for the management fee, payments under the Fund's 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses (other than fees for funds advised by the Adviser and/or its affiliates), costs of holding shareholder meetings, and litigation and potential litigation and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. Additionally, the Fund is responsible for its non-operating expenses, including brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with the Fund’s securities lending program, if applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Adviser’s payment of such expenses may be accomplished through the Fund’s payment of such expenses and a corresponding reduction in the fee payable to the Adviser, provided, however, that if the amount of expenses paid by the Fund exceeds the fee payable to the Adviser, the Adviser will reimburse the Fund for such amount.
B. Administration Fee  JPMIM provides administration services to the Fund. Pursuant to the Management Agreement for the Fund, JPMIM is compensated as described in Note 3.A.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund's sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the management fees payable to JPMIM.
C. Custodian, Accounting and Transfer Agent Fees JPMCB provides custody, accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund. For performing these services, JPMIM pays JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Additionally, Authorized Participants generally pay transaction fees associated with the creation and redemption of Fund shares. These fees are paid to JPMIM to offset certain custodian charges that are covered by the Management Agreement.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.

D. Distribution Services  The Distributor or its agent distributes Creation Units for the Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Fund. JPMDS receives no fees for their distribution services under the distribution agreement with the Trust (the “Distribution Agreement”). Although the Trust does not pay any fees under the Distribution Agreement, JPMIM pays JPMDS for certain distribution related services.
E. Waivers and Reimbursements  The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The fees for the affiliated money market funds, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral, are covered under the Management Agreement as described in Note 3.A.
F. Other   Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS.  Such officers receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer are paid for by JPMIM as described in Note 3.A.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

6. Capital Share Transactions
The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Fund only in Creation Units through the Distributor at NAV. Capital shares transactions detail can be found in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. Such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Fund's shares outstanding and act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Fund. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”); or (2) a DTC Participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor.
7. Borrowings
Effective November 1, 2022, the Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the six months ended August 31, 2023.
The Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund's borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 30, 2023.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the six months ended August 31, 2023.
Effective August 8, 2023, the Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has entered into an existing joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. Although the Trust is effectively part of the Credit Facility as of August 8, 2023, it is not eligible to draw on the Credit Facility, and will not incur costs associated with being a part of the Credit Facility, until on or about May 28, 2024.
This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00% (the "Applicable Margin"), plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or the one-month Adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Effective August 8, 2023, the Credit Facility has been amended and restated for a term of 364 days, unless extended.
The Fund did not utilize the Credit Facility during the six months ended August 31, 2023.
8. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders may impact the Fund's performance and liquidity.
Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than they would have been if they had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses.
Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to the NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund’s holdings. During such periods, investors may incur significant losses if shares are sold.
The Fund may not track the return of its underlying index for a number of reasons and therefore may not achieve its investment objective. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to its underlying index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the underlying index. In addition, the Fund’s return may differ from the return of its underlying index as a result of, among other things, pricing differences and the inability to purchase certain securities included in the underlying index due to regulatory or other restrictions. To the extent of the previously outlined items, the Fund’s return may differ from the return of the underlying index.
Because the Fund invests in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), the Fund may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults by tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders, and certain REITs have self-liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time.
The Fund is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the world, including those in which the Funds invest. 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, negatively impact the Fund’s arbitrage and pricing mechanisms, exacerbate other 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.

SCHEDULE OF SHAREHOLDER EXPENSES
(Unaudited)
Hypothetical $1,000 Investment
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on your purchase and sales of Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, primarily management fees. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these ongoing costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The examples assume that you had a $1,000 investment at the beginning of the reporting period, March 1, 2023, and continued to hold your shares at the end of the reporting period, August 31, 2023. 
Actual Expenses
For the Fund in the table below, the first line provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line of the Fund under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the
Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the Fund in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The examples also assume all dividends and distributions have been reinvested. The examples do not take into account brokerage commissions that you pay when purchasing or selling shares of the Fund.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
(Unaudited)
The JPMorgan BetaBuilders MSCI US REIT ETF (the “Fund”) has adopted the J.P. Morgan Funds and J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds Amended and Restated Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Program seeks to assess, manage and review each of the applicable J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds (each a “Fund”; and collectively, the “Funds”) Liquidity Risk. “Liquidity Risk” is defined as the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund. Pursuant to an exemptive order (the “Exemptive Order”) from the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Program permits the Funds to use liquidity definitions and classification methodologies that differ from the requirements under the Liquidity Rule in some respects. Among other things, the Liquidity Rule requires that a written report be provided to the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on an annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, including the operation of any Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (“HLIM”), where applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
The Board has appointed J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Liquidity Risk Forum to be the program administrator for the Program (the “Program Administrator”). In addition to regular reporting at each of its quarterly meetings, on February 7, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, where applicable, the operation of the Fund’s HLIM. There were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period.
The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Program Administrator in assessing whether the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to the Fund. Such information and factors included, among other things: (1) the effectiveness of the Program with respect to the identification of the Fund that qualifies as an “In-Kind ETF” (as defined in the Liquidity Rule); (2) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage, and periodically review the Fund’s Liquidity Risk and the results of this assessment; (3) the methodology and inputs for classifying the investments of the Fund (other than an In-Kind ETF) into one of the required liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of the liquidity of those investments under current market conditions (and, for In-Kind ETFs, the methodology and inputs for determining whether any investments should be classified as “Illiquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program)); (4) whether the Fund (other than an In-Kind ETF) invested primarily in “Highly Liquid Investments” (as defined or modified under the Program), as well as whether an HLIM should be established for the Fund (other than an In-Kind ETF) and the procedures for monitoring any HLIM; (5) whether the Fund invested more than 15% of its assets in “Illiquid Investments” and the procedures for monitoring for this limit; and (6) specific liquidity events arising during the Program Reporting Period. The Report further summarized the conditions of the Exemptive Order and whether all applicable Funds were in compliance with the terms of the Exemptive Order.
Based on this review, the Report concluded that: (1) the Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage the Fund’s Liquidity Risk; and (2) the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to the Fund during the Program Reporting Period.

BOARD APPROVAL OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) has established various standing committees composed of Trustees with diverse backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities to further enhance the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight and decision making.  The Board and its investment committees (Money Market and Alternative Products Committee, Equity Committee, and Fixed Income Committee) met regularly throughout the year and, at each meeting, considered factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the continuation of the management agreements.  The Board also met for the specific purpose of considering  management agreement annual renewals.  The Board held meetings June 20-21, 2023 and August 8-10, 2023, at which the Trustees considered the continuation of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) for the Fund.  At the June meeting, the Board’s investment committees met to review and consider performance, expense and related information for the J.P. Morgan Funds.  Each investment committee reported to the full Board, which then considered each investment committee’s preliminary findings. At the August meeting, the Trustees continued their review and consideration. The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to a Management Agreement or “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any party to a Management Agreement or any of their affiliates, approved the continuation of the Management Agreement on August 10, 2023.
As part of their review of the Management Agreement, the Trustees considered and reviewed performance and other information about the Fund received from J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”).  This information includes the Fund’s performance as compared to the performance of its peers and benchmark, and analyses by the Adviser of the Fund’s performance.  In addition, at each of their regular meetings throughout the year, the Trustees considered reports on the performance of certain J.P. Morgan Funds provided by an independent investment consulting firm (the “independent consultant”).  In addition, in preparation for the June and August meetings, the Trustees requested, received and evaluated extensive materials from the Adviser, including performance and expense information compiled by Broadridge, using data from Lipper Inc. and/or Morningstar Inc., independent providers of investment company data (together, “Broadridge”).  The Trustees’ independent consultant also provided additional quantitative and statistical analyses of certain Funds, including risk and performance return assessments as compared to the Fund’s objectives, benchmarks and peers.  Before voting on the Management Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Management Agreement with representatives of the Adviser, counsel to the Funds, and independent legal counsel to the Trustees, and received a memorandum from independent legal counsel to the Trustees discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the Management
Agreement.  The Trustees also discussed the Management Agreement with independent legal counsel in executive sessions at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
A summary of the material factors evaluated by the Trustees in determining whether to approve the Management Agreement is provided below.  The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund over the course of the year, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual renewal process.  Each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors and no factor alone was considered determinative.  The Trustees considered information provided with respect to the Fund throughout the year, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process.  From year to year, the Trustees consider and place emphasis on relevant information in light of changing circumstances in market and economic conditions.  The Trustees determined that the compensation received by the Adviser from the Fund under the Management Agreement was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
The factors summarized below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under its Management Agreement.  The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Trustee meetings, as well as the materials furnished specifically in connection with this annual review process.  Among other things, the Trustees considered:
•  The background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and investment personnel, including personnel changes, if any;
•  The qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund, including personnel changes, if any;
•  The investment strategy for the Fund, and the infrastructure supporting the portfolio management team;
•  Information about the structure and distribution strategy of the Fund and how it fits with the Adviser’s other fund offerings within the J.P. Morgan Funds complex;
•  The administration services provided by the Adviser in its role as Administrator;

J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds
23


BOARD APPROVAL OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
(Unaudited) (continued)
•  Their knowledge of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates gained from their experience as Trustees of the Fund and in the financial industry generally;
•  The overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser and its affiliates;
•  The commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Fund;
•  Their overall confidence in the Adviser’s integrity; and
•  The Adviser’s responsiveness to requests for additional information, questions or concerns raised by them, including the Adviser’s willingness to consider and implement organizational and operational changes designed to improve investment results and the services provided to the Fund.
Based upon these considerations and other factors, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees received, reviewed, considered and discussed information regarding the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund. The Trustees recognized that this information is not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Fund, less expenses of providing such services.  Expenses include direct and indirect costs and are calculated using allocation methodologies developed by the Adviser and reviewed with the Board.  The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make direct comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the fact that publicly-traded fund managers’ operating profits and net income are net of distribution and marketing expenses.  Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Adviser under the Management Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.
The Trustees also considered the fees earned by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, for custody, fund accounting, and other related services for the Fund, and the profitability of these arrangements to JPMCB.
Fall-Out Benefits
The Trustees reviewed information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationships with the Fund.  The Trustees considered that the J.P. Morgan Funds’ operating accounts are held at JPMCB, which, as a result, will receive float benefits for certain J.P. Morgan Funds, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser supports a diverse set of products and services, which benefits the Adviser by allowing it to leverage its infrastructure to serve additional clients, including benefits that may be received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the Fund’s potential investments in other funds advised by the Adviser.  The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s allocation of Fund brokerage for the J.P. Morgan Funds complex, including allocations to brokers who provide research to the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s use of affiliates to provide other services and the benefits to such affiliates of doing so. The Trustees also considered the benefit to the Adviser and its affiliates from allocating client assets to the Fund.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the extent to which the Fund may benefit from potential economies of scale.  The Trustees noted that the Fund has a “unitary” management fee which does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees considered that shareholders would benefit because expenses would be limited even when a Fund is new and not achieving economies of scale.  The Trustees considered the fact that increases in assets would not lead to management fee decreases even if economies of scale are achieved, but also that the Trustees would have the opportunity to further review the appropriateness of the fee payable to the Adviser under the Management Agreement in the future.  The Trustees also concluded that the Fund benefited from the Adviser’s reinvestment in its operations to serve the Fund and its shareholders.  The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s reinvestment ensures sufficient resources in terms of personnel and infrastructure to support the Fund. After considering the factors identified above, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s shareholders will receive the benefits of potential economies of scale.
Fees Relative to Adviser’s Other Clients
The Trustees received and considered information about the nature and extent of management services and fee rates offered to other clients of the Adviser, including to the extent applicable, institutional separate accounts, collective investment trusts, other registered investment companies and/or private funds sub-advised by the Adviser, for investment management styles substantially similar to that of the Fund.  The Trustees considered the complexity of investment management for registered investment companies relative to the Adviser’s other clients and noted differences, as applicable, in the fee structure and the regulatory, legal and other risks
24
J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds
August 31, 2023


and responsibilities of providing services to the different clients.  The Trustees considered that serving as an adviser to a registered investment company involves greater responsibilities and risks than acting as a sub-adviser and observed that sub-advisory fees may be lower than those charged by the Adviser to the Fund, as applicable. The Trustees also noted that the adviser, not the applicable registered investment company, typically bears the sub-advisory fee and that many responsibilities related to the advisory function are typically retained by the primary adviser. The Trustees concluded that the fee rates charged to the Fund in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients were reasonable.
Investment Performance
The Trustees considered the Fund is a “passive” ETF whose objective is to closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its benchmark index.  The Trustees considered the Fund’s investment strategy and processes, portfolio management teams and competitive positioning against peer funds, as identified by Broadridge and/or management.  As part of this review, the Trustees reviewed the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and considered the Fund’s performance information provided at regular Board meetings by the Adviser.  After consideration, the Trustees determined that the Fund’s performance was consistent with its investment objective.
Management Fees and Expense Ratios
The Trustees considered the contractual management fee rate paid by the Fund to the Adviser and compared the rate to the information prepared by Broadridge concerning management fee rates paid by other funds in the same Morningstar category as the Fund.  This review included ranking of the Fund within an
expense universe comprised of funds with the same Morningstar investment classification and objective (the “Universe”), as well as a subset of funds within the Universe (the “Peer Group”).  The Trustees reviewed a description of Broadridge’s methodology for selecting funds in the Universe and Peer Group, as applicable, and noted that Universe and Peer Group quintile rankings were not calculated if the number of funds in the Universe and/or Peer Group did not meet a predetermined minimum.  The Trustees also reviewed information about other expenses and the total expense ratio for the Fund.  The Trustees compared the management fee for the Fund to fees charged to mutual funds and/or institutional accounts with similar investment objectives or in similar asset classes managed by the Adviser.  The Trustees recognized that it can be difficult to make comparisons of management fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other accounts.  The Trustees considered how the Fund is positioned against peer funds, as identified by management and/or Broadridge and noted that the Fund’s management fee was appropriate as compared to identified peer funds.  The Trustees’ determinations as a result of the review of the Fund’s management fees and expense ratios are summarized below:
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net management fee was in the second quintile of both the Peer Group and Universe, and that the actual total expenses were in the second and first quintiles of the Peer Group and Universe, respectively.  After considering the factors identified above, in light of this information, the Trustees concluded that the management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
