JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund
Class/Ticker: R6/JFLJX
What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in fixed income and equity securities.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following tables describe 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 (Underlying Fund) Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. The impact of Acquired Fund (Underlying Fund) Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund (Underlying 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.

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 5% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund is a “Fund of Funds.” The Fund’s main investment strategy is to invest in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds). Because this is a conservative growth fund, the majority of the Fund’s assets will be allocated to J.P. Morgan income funds and J.P. Morgan money market funds, although a portion of its assets also will be invested in J.P. Morgan equity funds including J.P. Morgan international equity funds and J.P. Morgan specialty funds. J.P. Morgan specialty funds include funds that use market neutral and other alternative strategies or that have exposure to alternative equity asset classes such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) or commodities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in J.P. Morgan Funds that are exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Generally, the Fund’s allocation strategy is to achieve a long-term risk/return profile similar to a fund that invests 70% in income securities and 30% in equity securities.
The Fund’s adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser) allocates the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds based on an evaluation of three components: fund selection, tactical asset allocation and strategic asset allocation. The adviser determines the strategic weight for each asset class represented by the underlying funds by using three to five-year and 10 to 15-year outlooks. Taking a long term approach, the adviser focuses on making investments that it believes will perform well over time while maintaining a level of volatility similar to its Lipper peer group.
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.

JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund (continued)
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.
Investments in Mutual Funds and ETFs Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest. 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 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.
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.
Income Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in income securities that are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. The Fund’s exposure to bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. Income securities are also 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.
Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks. 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 declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes 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. The risk of default for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-back securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. In periods of declining interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to contraction risk which is the risk that borrowers will increase the rate at which they prepay the maturity value of mortgages and other obligations. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the underlying 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 rising interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to extension risk which is the risk that the expected maturity of an obligation will lengthen in duration due to a decrease in prepayments. As a result, in certain interest rate environments, the underlying fund may exhibit additional volatility.
Some of the underlying funds invest 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)). 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. 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 principal and interest. Securities issued 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. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially
2  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
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 or underlying 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. Certain underlying funds invest in junk bonds, loan assignments and participations and commitments to purchase loan assignments (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 are 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 protections under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. An underlying fund will not have direct recourse against the issuer of a loan participation.
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 instruments 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 underlying fund’s instruments and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund and underlying fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for certain underlying funds than for underlying funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and
other instruments are prepaid, an underlying 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.
Equity Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in equity securities (such as stocks) that are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the underlying fund’s securities goes down, the Fund’s investment in the underlying fund decreases in value.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Underlying funds that invest in foreign currencies, 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, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization 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 underlying 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 countries 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.
November 1, 2023  |  3
JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund (continued)
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.
Convertible Securities Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in convertible 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.
Strategy Risk. A primary risk of some of the underlying funds is to invest in common stock considered to be attractive and to sell short securities considered to be unattractive. This strategy involves complex securities transactions that require the underlying fund to borrow securities. The underlying fund may not be able to borrow a security it wishes to sell short or may have to purchase a borrowed security in the market to return it to the lender at a disadvantageous time or price. Losses on short sales are potentially unlimited because there is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain.
Smaller Company Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in securities of smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) which may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. The securities of small 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. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Index Funds Risk. Index funds are not actively managed and are designed to track the performance and holdings of a specified index. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by an index fund at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. There is also the risk that the underlying fund’s performance may not correlate with the performance of the index.
Commodity Risk. Certain underlying funds have exposure to commodities. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject an underlying fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying 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.
Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds may use derivatives. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments because they may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the underlying fund to be more volatile than they would be if they had not used derivatives. Certain derivatives also expose the underlying funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation), including 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 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 derivative liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Inflation-Managed Strategy Risk. The underlying funds may use inflation-managed strategies including using swaps that are based on the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in combination with a core portfolio of fixed income securities to create the equivalent of a portfolio of inflation-protected fixed income securities. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives and debt securities will mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds or reflect the actual rate of inflation. In addition, some of the underlying funds may make direct investments in inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal or interest of inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) is adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., CPI-U). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the actual 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.
Real Estate Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs. These securities 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, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with the management skill and credit worthiness of the issuer and underlying
4  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITS.
Transactions Risk. The Fund or an underlying 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, for both the Fund and the underlying funds, large purchases of a fund’s 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.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times an underlying fund and 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 an underlying fund or 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.
Geographic Focus Risk. An underlying fund and 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.

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 R6 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. Intermediate Aggregate Index, the Russell 3000 Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australia, Far East (EAFE) Index, all broad-based securities market indexes. The table also compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Conservative Funds Index, which is an index
based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other indexes, the Lipper index includes the fees and expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R6 Shares is based on the performance of Class I Shares (which are not offered in this prospectus) prior to the inception of Class R6 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.Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

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 8% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund is a “Fund of Funds.” The Fund’s main investment strategy is to invest in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds). Because this is a balanced fund, approximately half of the Fund’s assets will be allocated to J.P. Morgan equity funds including J.P. Morgan international equity funds and J.P. Morgan specialty funds and approximately half will be invested in J.P. Morgan income funds and J.P. Morgan money market funds. J.P. Morgan specialty funds include funds that use market neutral and other alternative strategies or that have exposure to alternative equity asset classes such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) or commodities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in J.P. Morgan Funds that are exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Generally, the Fund’s allocation strategy is to achieve a long-term risk/return profile similar to a fund that invests 50% in income securities and 50% in equity securities.
The Fund’s adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser) allocates the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds based on an evaluation of three components: fund selection, tactical asset allocation and strategic asset allocation. The adviser determines the strategic weight for each asset class represented by the underlying funds by using three to five-year and 10 to 15-year outlooks. Taking a long term approach, the adviser focuses on making investments that it believes will perform well over time while maintaining a level of volatility similar to its Lipper peer group.
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, including that preservation of capital may not be achieved.

JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund (continued)
Investments in Mutual Funds and ETFs Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest. 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 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.
Equity Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in equity securities (such as stocks) that are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the underlying fund’s securities goes down, the Fund’s investment in the underlying fund decreases in value.
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.
Income Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in income securities that are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. The Fund’s exposure to bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates.
Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. Income securities are also 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.
Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks. 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 declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes 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. The risk of default for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-back securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. In periods of declining interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to contraction risk which is the risk that borrowers will increase the rate at which they prepay the maturity value of mortgages and other obligations. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the underlying 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 rising interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to extension risk which is the risk that the expected maturity of an obligation will lengthen in duration due to a decrease in prepayments. As a result, in certain interest rate environments, the underlying fund may exhibit additional volatility.
Some of the underlying funds invest 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)). 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. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of
8  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of principal and interest. Securities issued 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. 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 or underlying fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Index Funds Risk. Index funds are not actively managed and are designed to track the performance and holdings of a specified index. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by an index fund at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. There is also the risk that the underlying fund’s performance may not correlate with the performance of the index.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Underlying funds that invest in foreign currencies, 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, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization 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 underlying 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 countries 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 informa
tion 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.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in junk bonds, loan assignments and participations and commitments to purchase loan assignments (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 are 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 protections under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. An underlying fund will not have direct recourse against the issuer of a loan participation.
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 instruments 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 underlying fund’s instruments and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund and underlying fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for certain underlying funds than for underlying funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and
November 1, 2023  |  9
JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund (continued)
other instruments are prepaid, an underlying 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.
Convertible Securities Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in convertible 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.
Strategy Risk. A primary risk of some of the underlying funds is to invest in common stock considered to be attractive and to sell short securities considered to be unattractive. This strategy involves complex securities transactions that require the underlying fund to borrow securities. The underlying fund may not be able to borrow a security it wishes to sell short or may have to purchase a borrowed security in the market to return it to the lender at a disadvantageous time or price. Losses on short sales are potentially unlimited because there is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain.
Smaller Company Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in securities of smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) which may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. The securities of small 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. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Commodity Risk. Certain underlying funds have exposure to commodities. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject an underlying fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying 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.
Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds may use derivatives. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments because they may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing
the underlying fund to be more volatile than they would be if they had not used derivatives. Certain derivatives also expose the underlying funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation), including 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 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 derivative liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Inflation-Managed Strategy Risk. The underlying funds may use inflation-managed strategies including using swaps that are based on the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in combination with a core portfolio of fixed income securities to create the equivalent of a portfolio of inflation-protected fixed income securities. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives and debt securities will mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds or reflect the actual rate of inflation. In addition, some of the underlying funds may make direct investments in inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal or interest of inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) is adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., CPI-U). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the actual 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.
Real Estate Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs. These securities 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, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with the management skill and credit worthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITS.
10  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
Transactions Risk. The Fund or an underlying 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, for both the Fund and underlying funds, large purchases of a fund’s 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.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times an underlying fund and 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 an underlying fund or 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.
Geographic Focus Risk. An underlying fund and 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.

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 R6 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. Intermediate Aggregate Index, the Russell 3000 Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australia, Far East (EAFE) Index, all broad-based securities market indexes. The table also compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index, which is an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other indexes, the Lipper index includes the fees and expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R6 Shares is based on the performance of Class I Shares
(which are not offered in this prospectus) prior to the inception of Class R6 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.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 long-term capital appreciation and growth of income by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following tables describe 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 (Underlying Fund) Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. The impact of Acquired Fund (Underlying Fund) Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund (Underlying 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.

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 8% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund is a “Fund of Funds.” The Fund’s main investment strategy is to invest in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds). Because this is a growth and income fund, the majority of the Fund’s assets will be invested in J.P. Morgan equity funds including J.P. Morgan international equity funds and J.P. Morgan specialty funds while a moderate portion will be allocated to J.P. Morgan income funds and J.P. Morgan money market funds. J.P. Morgan specialty funds include funds that use market neutral and other alternative strategies or that have exposure to alternative equity asset classes such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) or commodities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in J.P. Morgan Funds that are exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Generally, the Fund’s allocation strategy is to achieve a long-term risk/return profile similar to a fund that invests 70% in equity securities and 30% in income securities.
The Fund’s adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser) allocates the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds based on an evaluation of three components: fund selection, tactical asset allocation and strategic asset allocation. The adviser determines the strategic weight for each asset class represented by the underlying funds by using three to five-year and 10 to 15-year outlooks. Taking a long term approach, the adviser focuses on making investments that it believes will perform well over time while maintaining a level of volatility similar to its Lipper peer group.
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.
November 1, 2023  |  13
JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund (continued)
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.
Investments in Mutual Funds and ETFs Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest. 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 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.
Equity Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in equity securities (such as stocks) that are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the underlying fund’s securities goes down, the Fund’s investment in the underlying fund decreases in value.
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.
Income Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in income securities that are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. The Fund’s exposure to bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. Income securities are also 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.
Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks. 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 declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes 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. The risk of default for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-back securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. In periods of declining interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to contraction risk which is the risk that borrowers will increase the rate at which they prepay the maturity value of mortgages and other obligations. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the underlying 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 rising interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to extension risk which is the risk that the expected maturity of an obligation will lengthen in duration due to a decrease in prepayments. As a result, in certain interest rate environments, the underlying fund may exhibit additional volatility.
Some of the underlying funds invest 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)). 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. 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 principal and interest. Securities issued 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. 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 or underlying fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Index Funds Risk. Index funds are not actively managed and are designed to track the performance and holdings of a specified index. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by an index fund at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. There is also the risk that the underlying fund’s performance may not correlate with the performance of the index.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Underlying funds that invest in foreign currencies, 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, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization 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 underlying 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 countries 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.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in junk bonds, loan assignments and participations and commitments to purchase loan assignments (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 are 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 protections under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. An underlying fund will not have direct recourse against the issuer of a loan participation.
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 instruments 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 underlying fund’s instruments and other investments in a timely fashion could result in
November 1, 2023  |  15
JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund (continued)
losses to the Fund and underlying fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for certain underlying funds than for underlying funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, an underlying 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.
Convertible Securities Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in convertible 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.
Strategy Risk. A primary risk of some of the underlying funds is to invest in common stock considered to be attractive and to sell short securities considered to be unattractive. This strategy involves complex securities transactions that require the underlying fund to borrow securities. The underlying fund may not be able to borrow a security it wishes to sell short or may have to purchase a borrowed security in the market to return it to the lender at a disadvantageous time or price. Losses on short sales are potentially unlimited because there is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain.
Smaller Company Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in securities of smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) which may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. The securities of small 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. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Commodity Risk. Certain underlying funds have exposure to commodities. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject an underlying fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying 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.
Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds may use derivatives. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments because they may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the underlying fund to be more volatile than they would be if they had not used derivatives. Certain derivatives also expose the underlying funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation), including 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 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 derivative liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Inflation-Managed Strategy Risk. The underlying funds may use inflation-managed strategies including using swaps that are based on the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in combination with a core portfolio of fixed income securities to create the equivalent of a portfolio of inflation-protected fixed income securities. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives and debt securities will mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds or reflect the actual rate of inflation. In addition, some of the underlying funds may make direct investments in inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal or interest of inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) is adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., CPI-U). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the actual 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.
Real Estate Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs. These securities 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, environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with the management skill and credit worthiness of the issuer and underlying
16  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITS.
Transactions Risk. The Fund or an underlying 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, for both the Fund and underlying funds, large purchases of a fund’s 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.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times an underlying fund and 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 an underlying fund or 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.
Geographic Focus Risk. An underlying fund and 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.

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 R6 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 Russell 3000 Index, the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australia, Far East (EAFE) Index, all broad-based securities market indexes. The table also compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Index, which is an index based
on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other indexes, the Lipper index includes the fees and expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R6 Shares is based on the performance of Class I Shares (which are not offered in this prospectus) prior to the inception of Class R6 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.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 long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified group of mutual funds within the same group of investment companies that invest primarily in equity securities.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following tables describe 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 (Underlying Fund) Fees and Expenses” are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. The impact of Acquired Fund (Underlying Fund) Fees and Expenses is included in the total returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund (Underlying 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.

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 3% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund is a “Fund of Funds.” The Fund’s main investment strategy is to invest in other J.P. Morgan Funds (underlying funds). Because this is a growth fund, the majority of the Fund’s assets will be invested in J.P. Morgan equity funds including J.P. Morgan international equity funds and J.P. Morgan specialty funds, although a portion of its assets also will be allocated to J.P. Morgan income funds and J.P. Morgan money market funds. J.P. Morgan specialty funds include funds that use market neutral and other alternative strategies or that have exposure to alternative equity asset classes such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) or commodities. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in J.P. Morgan Funds that are exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Generally, the Fund’s allocation strategy is to achieve a long-term risk/return profile similar to a fund that invests 90% in equity securities and 10% in income securities.
The Fund’s adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser) allocates the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds based on an evaluation of three components: fund selection, tactical asset allocation and strategic asset allocation. The adviser determines the strategic weight for each asset class represented by the underlying funds by using three to five-year and 10 to 15-year outlooks. Taking a long term approach, the adviser focuses on making investments that it believes will perform well over time while maintaining a level of volatility similar to its Lipper peer group.
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.
November 1, 2023  |  19
JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund (continued)
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.
Investments in Mutual Funds and ETFs Risk. The Fund invests in other J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so the Fund’s investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Shareholders will indirectly bear the expenses charged by the underlying funds. Because the Fund’s adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, the Fund’s investments in the underlying funds benefit the adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, the Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, the Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest. 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 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.
Equity Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in equity securities (such as stocks) that are more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes 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 underlying fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the underlying fund’s securities goes down, the Fund’s investment in the underlying fund decreases in value.
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.
Income Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in income securities that are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. The Fund’s exposure to bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. Income securities are also 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.
Certain underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages that are subject to certain other risks. 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 declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes 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. The risk of default for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-back securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. In periods of declining interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to contraction risk which is the risk that borrowers will increase the rate at which they prepay the maturity value of mortgages and other obligations. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the underlying 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 rising interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to extension risk which is the risk that the expected maturity of an obligation will lengthen in duration due to a decrease in prepayments. As a result, in certain interest rate environments, the underlying fund may exhibit additional volatility.
Some of the underlying funds invest 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)). Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the
20  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
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. 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 principal and interest. Securities issued 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. 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 or underlying fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Index Funds Risk. Index funds are not actively managed and are designed to track the performance and holdings of a specified index. Securities may be purchased, held and sold by an index fund at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. There is also the risk that the underlying fund’s performance may not correlate with the performance of the index.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Underlying funds that invest in foreign currencies, foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization 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 underlying 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 countries 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.
Strategy Risk. A primary risk of some of the underlying funds is to invest in common stock considered to be attractive and to sell short securities considered to be unattractive. This strategy involves complex securities transactions that require the underlying fund to borrow securities. The underlying fund may not be able to borrow a security it wishes to sell short or may have to purchase a borrowed security in the market to return it to the lender at a disadvantageous time or price. Losses on short sales are potentially unlimited because there is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain.
Smaller Company Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in securities of smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) which may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. The securities of small 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. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. Certain underlying funds invest in junk bonds, loan assignments and participations and commitments to purchase loan assignments (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 are 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 protections under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. An underlying fund will not have direct recourse against the issuer of a loan participation.
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
November 1, 2023  |  21
JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund (continued)
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 instruments 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 underlying fund’s instruments and other investments in a timely fashion could result in losses to the Fund and underlying fund. Because some instruments may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for certain underlying funds than for underlying funds that invest primarily in other types of fixed income instruments or equity securities. When Loans and other instruments are prepaid, an underlying 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.
Convertible Securities Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in convertible 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.
Commodity Risk. Certain underlying funds have exposure to commodities. Exposure to commodities, commodity-related securities and derivatives may subject an underlying fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. In addition, to the extent that an underlying 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.
Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds may use derivatives. Derivatives may be riskier than other investments because they may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and could result in losses that significantly exceed the original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the underlying fund to be more volatile than they would be if they had not used derivatives. Certain derivatives also expose the underlying funds to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligation), including 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 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 derivative liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
Inflation-Managed Strategy Risk. The underlying funds may use inflation-managed strategies including using swaps that are based on the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in combination with a core portfolio of fixed income securities to create the equivalent of a portfolio of inflation-protected fixed income securities. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives and debt securities will mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds or reflect the actual rate of inflation. In addition, some of the underlying funds may make direct investments in inflation-protected securities. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal or interest of inflation-protected securities such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) is adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., CPI-U). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the actual 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.
Real Estate Securities Risk. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITs. These securities 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,
22  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
environmental factors and, in the case of mortgages, credit risk, prepayment risk and extension risk. In addition, investments in REITs are subject to risks associated with the management skill and credit worthiness of the issuer and underlying funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which they invest in addition to the expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds are highly concentrated in real estate securities, including REITS.
Transactions Risk. The Fund or an underlying 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, for both the Fund and underlying funds, large purchases of a fund’s 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.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times an underlying fund and 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 an underlying fund or 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.
Geographic Focus Risk. An underlying fund and 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.

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 R6 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 Russell 3000 Index, the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Index and the Morgan Stanley Capital International
(MSCI) Europe, Australia, Far East (EAFE) Index, all broad-based securities market indexes. The table also compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Aggressive Growth Funds Index, which is an index based on the total returns of all mutual funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other indexes, the Lipper index includes the fees and expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. The performance of Class R6 Shares is based on the performance of Class I Shares (which are not offered in this prospectus) prior to the inception of Class R6 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.Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-800-480-4111.

More About the Funds
Each of the Funds described in this prospectus is a series of JPMorgan Trust II (the Trust or JPMT II) and is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM). The underlying funds are managed by JPMIM. The underlying funds advised by JPMIM are in the same group of investment companies. For more information about the Funds and JPMIM, please read the “Management of the Funds” section and the Statement of Additional Information.
Principal Investment Strategies
The mutual funds described in this prospectus are “Funds of Funds.” Each Fund’s investment strategy is to invest in a diversified group of other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) within the same group of investment companies (i.e., J.P. Morgan Funds). The Funds are designed to provide exposure to three major asset classes: equities including international equities, fixed income, and equity and/or fixed income alternative investments such as market neutral and other alternative strategies, commodities and real estate securities. Exposure and diversification to such asset classes is achieved by investing in other J.P. Morgan Funds. A Fund’s adviser allocates a Fund’s investments in the underlying funds based on an evaluation of three components: fund selection, tactical asset allocation and strategic asset allocation. The Fund’s adviser also integrates financially material environmental, social and governance (“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 assessment, the adviser will also consider the risks presented by ESG factors. Specifically, the adviser will assess how ESG risks are considered within an active underlying fund’s/manager’s investment process and how the active underlying fund/manager defines and mitigates financially material ESG risks. Although these particular risks are considered, underlying funds presenting such risks may be purchased and retained by a Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in underlying funds and securities of issuers that do not present such risks. In particular, ESG Integration does not change a 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 adviser determines the strategic weight for each asset class represented by the underlying funds by using three to five-year and 10 to 15-year outlooks. Taking a long term approach, the adviser focuses on making investments that it believes will perform well over time while maintaining a level of volatility similar to its Lipper peer group. Each of the Funds invests in the J.P. Morgan Funds in varying amounts and may be concentrated in particular J.P. Morgan Funds from time to time. Updated information concerning a Fund's allocations to underlying funds is available in a Fund's shareholder reports and on a Fund's website from time to time.
In addition, the adviser makes use of equity and income funds that utilize alternative strategies like market neutral strategies to potentially create a more efficient portfolio. Equity and income funds that utilize alternative strategies may have a lower correlation to traditional equity and income markets, which can help smooth the return stream for a Fund during different market cycles. By blending more traditional funds with funds that utilize alternative strategies, the adviser attempts to manage returns and risk. 
FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES
A Fund’s investment strategy may involve “fundamental policies.” A policy is fundamental if it cannot be changed without the
consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Each Fund’s investment objective is fundamental. In addition, as a
matter of fundamental policy, each Fund must allocate its investments among the underlying funds. As a result, each Fund does not
have the same flexibility to invest directly in securities as a mutual fund without such constraints. Additional fundamental policies
are specifically identified in the Statement of Additional Information.
JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund. The Fund is diversified between equity and income funds, with an emphasis on income funds. Generally, the Fund’s allocation strategy is to achieve a long-term risk return profile similar to a fund that invests 70% in income securities and 30% in equity securities.
JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund. The Fund invests in both equity and income funds — equity funds for long-term growth potential and income funds for principal stability and current income. Generally, the Fund’s allocation strategy is to achieve a long-term risk return profile similar to a fund that invests 50% in equity securities and 50% in income securities.
JPMorgan Investor Growth & Income Fund. The Fund is diversified between equity and income funds, with an emphasis on equity funds. Generally, the Fund’s allocation strategy is to achieve a long-term risk return profile similar to a fund that invests 70% in equity securities and 30% in income securities.
JPMorgan Investor Growth Fund. The Fund is diversified between equity and income funds, with a heavy emphasis on equity funds. Generally, the Fund’s allocation strategy is to achieve a long-term risk return profile similar to a fund that invests 90% in equity securities and 10% in income securities.
In connection with these general allocation strategies, the Funds allocate their investments within the following ranges:

Investment Risks
There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives.
The Funds invest in a variety of other J.P. Morgan Funds. The J.P. Morgan Funds in which the Funds may invest are referred to in this prospectus as the “underlying funds.” The main risks associated with investing in each Fund are summarized in the “Risk/Return Summaries” at the front of this prospectus. In addition to each Fund’s main risks, each Fund may be subject to additional risks in connection with investments and strategies used by each Fund from time to time. The table below identifies main risks and some of the additional risks for each Fund.
Each Fund may also be subject to additional risks that are not described herein but which are described in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
An investment in a Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in a 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 a Fund is suitable for you.
The Funds are subject to the main risks designated as such in the table below, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective. The Funds may also be subject to additional risks that are noted in the table below, as well as those that are not described herein but which are described in the Statement of Additional Information.

Investments in Mutual Funds and ETFs Risk. Each Fund invests in underlying J.P. Morgan Funds as a primary strategy, so each Fund’s performance is directly related to the performance of the underlying funds. A Fund’s net asset value will change with the value of the underlying funds and changes in the markets where the underlying funds invest. Because a Fund’s adviser or its affiliates provide services to and receive fees from the underlying funds, investments in a Fund benefit the adviser and/or its affiliates. In addition, a Fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a result, a Fund’s investments in an underlying fund may create a conflict of interest because a situation could occur where an action for a Fund could be adverse to the interest of an underlying fund or vice versa.
ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs may be structured as investment companies, depositary receipts or other pooled investment vehicles and may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market 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 price movement of an index-based ETF may not track the underlying index and
November 1, 2023  |  27
More About the Funds (continued)
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.
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 a 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 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 any future pandemic or other global event to 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 or other global event 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 or other global event 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.
Income Securities Risk. Underlying funds that invest in income securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk as well as the risks associated with the types of securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities risk and high yield securities risk).
Interest Rate Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in debt securities that increase or decrease in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these underlying funds’ investments generally declines. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the investments generally increases. Your investment will decline in value if the value of the underlying funds’ investments decreases. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The underlying funds may invest in variable and floating rate Loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include central bank monetary policy, rising inflation rates and general economic conditions. A Fund 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 the 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 to a security, contract, repurchase agreement or other investment will not make payments on securities and repurchase agreements held by the underlying funds. 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 default could result in losses to the underlying funds and to the Funds. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by an underlying fund may be lowered if an issuer’s or a counterparty’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of an underlying fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult for the underlying fund to sell the security. Some of the underlying funds 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 of such securities are more vulnerable to changes in economic conditions than issuers of higher grade securities. Although U.S. government securities issued directly by the U.S. government are guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, other U.S. government securities issued by an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government may not be. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities if not required to do so by law. Prices of a Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties of an underlying fund held by the Funds is subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the
28  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
underlying 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.
Equity Securities 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 underlying 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 the underlying fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of an underlying fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the underlying fund decreases in value.
If the price of the underlying stock does not rise above the exercise price before the warrant expires, the warrant generally expires without any value and the underlying fund loses the amount it paid, if any, for the warrant. Thus, investments in warrants may involve substantially more risk than investments in common stock. Warrants may trade in the same markets as their underlying stock; however, the price of the warrant does not necessarily move with the price of the underlying stock.
Derivatives Risk. The underlying funds may use derivatives in connection with their investment strategies. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the underlying 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 the underlying funds, and the cost of such strategies may reduce the underlying funds’ returns. Certain derivatives also expose the underlying fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. In addition, an underlying fund may use derivatives for non-hedging purposes, which increases the underlying fund’s potential for loss. 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. 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.
Investing in derivatives and, in the case of underlying funds engaging in short sales, will result in a form of leverage. Leverage involves special risks. An underlying fund may be more volatile than if the underlying fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of an underlying fund’s portfolio securities. Registered investment companies such as the underlying funds are limited in their ability to engage in derivative transactions.
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 also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk relating to the payment obligations created thereunder and legal and operational risk.
The underlying fund’s transactions in futures contracts, swaps and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in an underlying 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 an underlying fund’s after-tax return. 
WHAT IS A DERIVATIVE?
Derivatives are securities or contracts (like futures and options) that derive their value from the performance of underlying assets or
securities.
High Yield Securities Risk. Some of the underlying funds may invest in debt securities that are considered to be speculative (also known as junk bonds). These investments may be issued by companies which are highly leveraged, less creditworthy 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 an underlying fund’s investments and an underlying fund’s net asset value 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.

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, some of the underlying funds may invest in debt securities of smaller, newer companies. The underlying 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 the underlying funds and the Funds’ investments.
Loan Risk. Some of the underlying funds may invest in loan assignments and participations and commitments to purchase loan assignments (Loans) including Loans that are rated below investment grade. 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,” and “High Yield Securities Risk.” Although certain Loans are secured by collateral, an underlying 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 underlying fund will limit its investments in illiquid securities to no more than 15% of the underlying 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 addition, 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 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 the underlying 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 the underlying fund invests in may have a more limited secondary market, liquidity and valuation risk is more pronounced for an underlying 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 the underlying 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, an underlying fund may be more dependent upon the analytical ability of its adviser.
When an underlying fund acquires a loan participation, the underlying fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations, but not the borrower. As a result, the underlying fund assumes the credit risk of the seller of the loan participation and any other parties interpositioned between the underlying fund and the borrower. The underlying fund may not benefit directly from the collateral supporting the Loan 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 an underlying 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.

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.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities. These 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 declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes 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. The risk of default for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-back securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. In periods of declining interest rates, the underlying fund may be subject to contraction risk which is the risk that borrowers will increase the rate at which they prepay the maturity value of mortgages and other obligations. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the underlying 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 underlying fund may be subject to extension risk which is the risk that the expected maturity of an obligation will lengthen in duration due to a decrease in prepayments. As a result, in certain interest rate environments, the underlying fund may exhibit additional volatility. Some asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed 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 default). 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 and 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.
Some of the underlying funds may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations (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 the underlying fund invests may be more volatile and may be subject to higher risk of nonpayment.
Also some of the underlying funds may invest in interest-only (IO) and principal-only (PO) mortgage-related securities. 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 interest-only securities, while a rapid or unexpected decrease could have the same effect on principal-only 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.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Market Risk. Because the underlying funds may invest in securities of foreign issuers, investments in such underlying funds 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, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, all of which could adversely affect the underlying fund’s investments in a foreign

country. 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 underlying 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 underlying 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 a 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 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 a 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 a 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 in the underlying funds. 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. In addition, a 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, in particular, in emerging markets countries. An underlying fund’s investments in foreign and emerging market securities may also be subject to foreign withholding and/or other taxes, which would decrease an underlying 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.
Some of the underlying funds invest 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 of foreign and emerging markets securities summarized above, 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 issues facing issuers in foreign countries.
Smaller Company Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in securities of smaller companies. Investments by underlying funds in smaller, newer companies may be riskier and less liquid than investments in larger, more established 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 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 underlying funds investing in small companies, and may affect your investment in the Funds.
Convertible Securities Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest in convertible securities. 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
32  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
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 non-convertible 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, an underlying fund may lose the principal amount invested on a permanent or temporary basis or the contingent convertible security may be 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.
Strategy Risk. A main investment strategy of some of the underlying funds is to invest in common stocks considered to be attractive and to short sell stocks considered to be unattractive. This strategy may fail to produce the intended results. There is no guarantee that the use of long and short positions will succeed in limiting a Fund’s exposure to domestic stock market movements, capitalization, sector-swings or other factors. The strategy used by these Funds involves complex securities transactions, including short sales, that involve risks different than direct equity investments. Some of the other underlying funds also use short sales. The use of short sales may result in these underlying funds realizing more short-term capital gains and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than they would if they did not engage in such short sales.
Real Estate Securities Risk. Investments by certain of the underlying funds will be highly concentrated in the securities of companies in the real estate sector. The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, 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 “subprime” 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 underlying 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 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.
Government Securities Risk. Some of the underlying funds invest 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 underlying fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government related
November 1, 2023  |  33
More About the Funds (continued)
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.
Index Funds Risk. Underlying funds may attempt to track the performance of a specified index. Therefore, securities may be purchased, retained and sold by the underlying fund at times when an actively managed fund would not do so. If the value of securities that are heavily weighted in the index change, you can expect a greater risk of loss than would be the case if the underlying fund were not fully invested in such securities.
Commodity Risk. Certain underlying funds will have a significant portion of their assets concentrated in commodity-linked securities and derivatives. Some of the underlying funds may have direct investments in commodities. Developments affecting commodities will have a disproportionate impact on such underlying funds. An underlying fund’s investment in commodities, commodity-linked securities, and derivatives may subject the underlying 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 underlying fund’s net asset value), and there can be no assurance that the underlying fund’s use of leverage will be successful. In addition, to the extent that an underlying 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. Some of the underlying funds may concentrate in certain commodity sectors such as natural resources. When an underlying fund concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries, events impacting that sector will have a greater effect on an underlying fund than they would on a fund that is more widely diversified among a number of unrelated industries. In addition, certain commodity sub-sectors are subject to greater governmental regulation than are other industries, therefore, changes in tax and other government regulations may be more likely to adversely affect such underlying funds.
Geographic Focus Risk. In addition to the more general Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk, certain of the underlying funds may focus their investments in one or more regions or groups of countries. As a result, a Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund and may be subject to the risks facing certain regions.
Transactions and Liquidity Risk. The underlying 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 unusually large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities an underlying fund wishes to, or is required to, sell are illiquid. To the extent a large proportion of shares of the underlying 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 the underlying fund to conduct its investment program. The underlying 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. For underlying funds that invest in debt securities, other market participants may be attempting to sell debt securities at the same time as the underlying 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 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, for both the Funds and underlying funds, large purchases of a fund’s shares may adversely affect the fund’s performance to the extent that the fund is
34  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
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 or underlying fund’s transaction costs and impact a Fund’s or underlying fund’s performance.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times an underlying fund and 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, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that an underlying fund and the 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.
Non-Diversified Risk. Certain of the underlying funds are non-diversified and they may invest a greater percentage of their assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased concentration in fewer issuers may result in the underlying funds’ shares being more sensitive to the economic results of those issuing the securities. The value of the Fund’s shares may also be more volatile than the value of a Fund which invests in more securities.
Tax Aware Strategies Risk. The investment strategy of one of the underlying funds, the Tax Aware Equity Fund, is to minimize shareholders’ tax liability in connection with the underlying fund’s distribution of realized capital gains and to minimize distributions that are taxed as ordinary income and that are not qualified dividend income. The underlying fund’s tax aware strategies may reduce taxable income, but will not eliminate it. These strategies may require trade-offs that reduce pre-tax income.
Inflation-Managed Strategies Risk. Certain underlying funds may use inflation-managed strategies including using swaps that are based on the CPI-U in combination with a core portfolio of fixed income securities to create the equivalent of a portfolio of inflation-protected fixed income securities. There is no guarantee that the use of derivatives and debt securities will mimic a portfolio of inflation-protected bonds or reflect the actual rate of inflation. In addition, some of the underlying funds may make direct investments in inflation-protected securities. Inflation-linked 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 is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-linked debt security will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though the underlying fund will not receive the principal until maturity. There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. An underlying 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.
Currency Risk. One of the underlying funds, the International Currency Income Fund, is designed for investors who want exposure to foreign currencies. As a result, the International Currency Income Fund is not required to hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar for defensive purposes. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the International Currency Income Fund’s securities and the price of the International Currency Income 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 fewer 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 may be more volatile and generally are not as regulated as securities markets.
Securities Lending Risk. To generate additional income, certain Underlying Funds may lend up to 33 1∕3% of such Underlying Fund’s total assets pursuant to agreements requiring that the loan be continuously secured by collateral equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent. 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 or fails financially. This risk is increased when an Underlying Fund’s loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. The earnings on the collateral invested may not be sufficient to pay fees incurred in connection with the loan. Also, the principal value of the collateral invested may decline and may not be sufficient to pay back the borrower for the amount of collateral posted. There are no limits on the number of borrowers an Underlying Fund may use and an Underlying Fund may lend securities to only one or a small group of borrowers. Underlying Funds participating in securities lending bear the risk of loss in connection with investments of the cash collateral received from the borrowers, which do not trigger additional collateral requirements from the borrower. To the extent that the value or return of an Underlying Fund’s investments of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Underlying 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,
November 1, 2023  |  35
More About the Funds (continued)
an Underlying 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 the Underlying Fund to be more volatile because financial leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio securities.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The techniques and strategies contemplated by some of the underlying funds are expected to result in a high degree of portfolio turnover. The portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year as well as within a particular year. High portfolio turnover (e.g. over 100%) may involve correspondingly greater expenses to the underlying funds, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities. Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gain, including short-term capital gain that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, and may adversely impact the underlying fund’s after-tax returns. The trading costs or tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect an underlying fund’s performance.
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 invest 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 5% 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 the Fund’s investment strategy, with permissible extensions under certain circumstances. As a result, the adviser and/or its 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 a Fund’s liquidation or, if a 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.
For more information about risks associated with the types of investments that the Funds purchase, please read the “Risk/Return Summaries” 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. Decreases in underlying fund fees, if any, may not fully benefit investors because a Fund's expense cap may change over time. 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
36  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
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 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 a Fund 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. A Fund’s 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.
Expenses of Underlying Funds
The percentage of each Fund’s assets that will be allocated to each of the underlying funds may be changed from time to time by JPMIM within the parameters set forth in this prospectus. In addition, new J.P. Morgan Funds may be added to the list of underlying funds from time to time. To the extent that the allocations among the underlying funds are changed, or to the extent that the expense ratios of the underlying funds change, the weighted average operating expenses borne by the Funds may increase or decrease. The Funds will invest in Class R6 Shares of the underlying funds to the extent they are available. If an underlying fund does not offer Class R6 Shares, the Funds will invest in Class R5 Shares of the underlying funds. To the extent that an underlying fund does not offer Class R5 Shares, the Fund may invest in Class L Shares or Institutional Class Shares, if applicable and available. To the extent that an underlying fund does not offer Class R6, Class R5 or Class L Shares, the Fund will invest in Class I Shares, if available. With respect to underlying funds that are money market funds, the Funds will invest in IM Shares or Institutional Class Shares. The shares of the underlying funds in which the Funds invest may impose a separate service fee. To avoid charging a separate service fee at an effective rate above 0.25%, the shareholder servicing agent will waive service fees with respect to each Fund in an amount equal to the weighted average pro rata amount of service fees charged by the underlying funds. This amount is shown as a waiver under “Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements” in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table.
Expense Limitations
JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund. 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 10/31/24, 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.

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds
Choosing A Share Class
Each share class represents an investment in the same portfolio of securities, but each has different availability and eligibility criteria, expenses, dividends and distributions.
Please read this prospectus carefully, and then select the Fund most appropriate for you and decide how much you want to invest. Each Fund may offer other classes of shares not included in this prospectus that have different expense levels, performance and eligibility requirements from the share classes offered in this prospectus. In addition, each Fund may have a similar name, investment objective and policies as other funds and ETFs advised by the adviser or its affiliates that may have different expense levels, performance and eligibility requirements from the share classes offered in this prospectus. Please visit www.jpmorganfunds.com/funddocuments to obtain more information concerning these or other share classes, funds or ETFs. A Financial Intermediary may receive different compensation based on the share class sold.
Additional Information that Applies to All Accounts: If your identity or the identity of any other person(s) authorized to act on your behalf cannot be verified, or if potentially criminal activity is identified, the J.P. Morgan Funds and the Distributor reserve the right to reject opening an account for you, close your account, or take such other action they deem reasonable or required by law.
Class R6 Shares are primarily used in Group Retirement Plans. The particular Group Retirement Plan will determine the share class available to its participants.
 
 
Shares of the Funds have not been registered for sale outside of the United States. This prospectus is not intended for distribution to prospective investors outside of the United States. The Funds generally do not market or sell shares to investors domiciled outside of the United States, even, with regard to individuals, if they are citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States.

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
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 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 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 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 JPMIM or JPMorgan Chase Bank NA or their affiliates (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 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.
40  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
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.
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.
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 J.P. Morgan Funds are open for business on each day the NYSE is open for trading. A purchase or redemption order received by the J.P. Morgan Funds prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. ET) (“Funds Close”), on a day the J.P. Morgan Funds are open for business, will be effected at that day’s NAV. The J.P. Morgan 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 Funds 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 Funds Close and communicated to the J.P. Morgan Funds prior to such time as agreed upon by the J.P. Morgan 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 J.P. Morgan 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.
If you purchase 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 purchase order to the J.P. Morgan Funds. Your Financial Intermediary may have an earlier cut-off time for purchase orders.
If you purchase shares directly with the Funds, see the information below.

The Funds currently do not charge for these services, but may impose a charge in the future. However, your bank may impose a charge for debiting your bank account.
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. If you purchase shares directly with the J.P. Morgan Funds, you may revoke your right to make purchases over the phone, fax or internet by mailing written instructions to us. If you purchase shares through your Financial Intermediary, contact your investment representative regarding your ability to revoke or modify your purchase rights.
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.
42  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
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 R6 Shares of the 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.

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
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 J.P. Morgan Funds. 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 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. 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 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 J.P. Morgan Funds may refuse to honor incomplete redemption orders.
The J.P. Morgan Funds 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.

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
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.
Additional information that applies to all limited offerings:
If all shares of a Fund in an existing shareholder’s account are voluntarily redeemed or involuntarily redeemed (due to instances when a shareholder does not meet aggregate account balance minimums), then the shareholder’s account will be closed. Such former Fund shareholders will not be able to buy additional Fund shares or reopen their accounts in the Fund unless a former shareholder makes his or her repurchase within 90 days of the redemption. However, these repurchase restrictions do not apply to Group Retirement Plans that are eligible to continue to invest under the limited offering, as described above. If shares are purchased through a Financial Intermediary, contact your investment representative for their requirements and procedures.
If a Fund receives a purchase order directly from an investor who is not eligible to purchase shares of the Fund, after the limited offering dates outlined above, J.P. Morgan Funds Services will attempt to contact the investor to determine whether he or she would like to purchase shares of another Fund or would prefer that the investment be refunded. If J.P. Morgan Funds Services cannot contact the investor within 30 days, the entire investment will be refunded.
The Funds reserve the right to change these policies at any time.
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.
46  |  J.P. Morgan Investor 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;
•
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
November 1, 2023  |  47
Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
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.
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.
Dividends from net investment income are generally declared and paid at least quarterly for each Fund. The Investor Conservative Growth Fund, however, generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income monthly. The Funds will distribute their net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. For each taxable year, each 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:
48  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
•
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 qualified dividend income and dividends of net short-term capital gain will be taxable to a U.S. shareholder as ordinary income. The JPMorgan Investor Conservative Growth Fund and JPMorgan Investor Balanced Fund do not expect a significant portion of their distributions to be derived from 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) 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.
Except when your investment is in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged investment plan, or you are a tax-exempt investor, if you buy shares of a Fund before a distribution, you will be subject to tax on the entire amount of the taxable distribution you receive. This is known as “buying a dividend”. 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. To avoid buying a dividend, please check a Fund’s Dividend and Capital Gain Schedule before you invest.
An underlying fund’s investment in foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes. In that case, a Fund’s yield on those securities would be decreased. If at least 50% of the value of a Fund’s total assets at the close of each quarter of its taxable year is represented by interests in other regulated investment companies (as is expected to be the case for each Fund), that Fund may elect to “pass through” to its shareholders the amount of foreign taxes deemed paid by that Fund. If that Fund so elects, each of its shareholders would be required to include in gross income, even though not actually received, its pro rata share of the foreign taxes deemed paid by that Fund, but would be treated as having paid its pro rata share of such foreign taxes and would therefore be allowed to either deduct such amounts in computing taxable income or use such amounts (subject to various limitations) as a foreign tax credit against federal income tax (but not both). In addition, an underlying fund’s investment in certain foreign securities or foreign currencies may increase or accelerate a Fund’s recognition of ordinary income and may affect the timing or amount of Fund distributions.
An underlying fund’s investments in mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities may require a 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 use of a fund-of-funds structure could affect the amount, timing and character of distributions from the Fund, and therefore,
November 1, 2023  |  49
Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
may increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.
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.
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.
50  |  J.P. Morgan Investor Funds
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
Each of the Funds may disclose the complete uncertified holdings list and the percentage allocations to each of the underlying funds as of the most recent month end online at www.jpmorganfunds.com, no sooner than ten calendar days after month end.
Not later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, the Funds will make available upon request a complete schedule of its portfolio holdings as of the last day of that quarter.
The Funds will post these quarterly schedules on J.P. Morgan Funds’ website at www.jpmorganfunds.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
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.

Management of the Funds
The Adviser, Administrator and Distributor
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the Adviser) (277 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10172) makes the day-to-day investment decisions for each of the Funds and continuously reviews, supervises and administers each of the Funds’ investment program. 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. JPMIM performs its responsibilities subject to the supervision of, and policies established by, the Trustees of JPMorgan Trust II. JPMIM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Asset Management Holdings Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPMorgan Chase) a bank holding company.
JPMIM (the Administrator) (277 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10172) provides administration services and oversees the Funds’ other service providers. Effective January 1, 2019, the Administrator does not receive a separate fee for administration services to the J.P. Morgan Investor Funds but does receive fees for administration services to the underlying funds.
JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the Distributor or JPMDS) (1111 Polaris Parkway, Columbus, Ohio 43240) is the distributor for the Funds. The Distributor is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase.

Additional Compensation to Financial Intermediaries
JPMIM, JPMDS and, from time to time, other affiliates of JPMorgan Chase may also, at their own expense and out of their own legitimate profits, provide additional cash payments to Financial Intermediaries whose customers invest in shares of the J.P. Morgan Funds. For this purpose, Financial Intermediaries 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. These additional cash payments are payments over and above any sales charges (including Rule 12b-1 fees) and service fees (including sub-transfer agency and networking fees) that are paid to such Financial Intermediaries, as described elsewhere in this prospectus. These additional cash payments are generally made to Financial Intermediaries that provide shareholder, sub-transfer agency or administrative services or marketing support. Marketing support may include access to sales meetings, sales representatives and Financial Intermediary management representatives, inclusion of the J.P. Morgan Funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, or other sales programs and/or for training and educating a Financial Intermediary’s employees. These additional cash payments also may be made as an expense reimbursement in cases where the Financial Intermediary provides shareholder services to J.P. Morgan Fund shareholders. JPMIM and JPMDS may also pay cash compensation in the form of finders’ fees that vary depending on the J.P. Morgan Fund and the dollar amount of shares sold. Such additional compensation may provide such Financial Intermediaries with an incentive to favor sales of shares of the J.P. Morgan Funds over other investment options they make available to their customers. See the Statement of Additional Information for more information.
