The Fund's Investment Adviser
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM) acts as investment adviser to the Fund and makes the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund. 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 the 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 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 is located at 270 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017.
The Fund will pay the adviser a management fee of 0.08% of average daily net assets.
A discussion of the basis the Board used in approving the investment advisory agreement for the Fund will be available in the financial statements and other information filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR (“Financial Statements and Other Information”), which will be available online at www.jpmorganfunds.com.
JPMIM (the Administrator) provides administration services and oversees the other service providers of the Fund. The Administrator receives a pro-rata portion of the following annual fee on behalf of each money market mutual fund in the J.P. Morgan Funds Complex (Money Market Funds) for administration services: 0.070% of the first $150 billion of average daily net assets of all Money Market Funds, plus 0.050% of average daily net assets of such Money Market Funds between $150 billion and $300 billion, plus 0.030% of average daily net assets of such Money Market Funds between $300 billion and $400 billion, plus 0.010% of the average daily net assets of such Money Market Funds over $400 billion.
The Fund's Shareholder Servicing Agent
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into a shareholder servicing agreement with JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (JPMDS) under which JPMDS has agreed to provide certain support services to the Fund’s shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, receives an annual fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Token Class Shares of the Fund. JPMDS may enter into service agreements with financial intermediaries under which it will pay all or a portion of the annual fee to such entities for performing shareholder and administrative services.

Additional Compensation to Financial Intermediaries
JPMIM, JPMDS and, from time to time, other affiliates of JPMorgan Chase may, at their own expense and out of their own legitimate profits, make additional cash payments to certain intermediaries whose customers invest in shares of the J.P. Morgan Funds (“Financial Intermediaries”). Financial Intermediaries may include financial advisors, investment advisers, brokers, financial planners, banks, insurance companies, retirement or 401(k) plan administrators and other firms (including certain affiliates of JPMorgan Chase) that have entered into agreements with JPMDS. Financial Intermediaries also may include certain record owners of Fund shares that provide digital asset-related services (“Digital Asset Intermediaries”), such as custody, staking, governance, settlement and/or other services to their customers, who may include payment stablecoin issuers or end-users of payment stablecoins.
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 Financial Intermediaries, as described elsewhere in this prospectus. These payments are generally made to Financial Intermediaries that provide shareholder, sub-transfer agency or administrative
