Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive
fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.04%, 1.54% and 0.79% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 97% of the average value of its portfolio.
6 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of mid cap companies. Equity securities represent an ownership interest in the issuer. Mid cap companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell Midcap® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell Midcap Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $1.76 billion to $251.61 billion. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the portfolio management team employs an investment process that seeks to identify both growth and value securities for the Fund. The team seeks to identify companies with leading competitive positions, talented management teams and durable business models. In addition, the team will invest in companies that it believes either have the capacity to achieve a sustainable level of above average growth or have sustainable free cash flow generation with management committed to increasing shareholder value.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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 net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.
November 1, 2026 | 7
JPMorgan Mid Cap Equity Fund (continued)
Strategy Risk. Although the Fund invests in both growth and value securities, it may invest more heavily in either growth or value securities depending on market conditions and the convictions of the adviser. To the extent the Fund invests in growth securities, it will be subject to risks related to growth investing. Specifically, growth stocks may trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value. To the extent the Fund invests in value securities, it will be subject to risks related to value investing. Specifically, a value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests.
These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability.
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

The Fund’s 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 I Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Russell 3000® Index and Russell Midcap® Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell Midcap® Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. 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.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive
fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.04%, 1.54% and 0.79% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 78% of the average value of its portfolio.

JPMorgan Mid Cap Growth Fund (continued)
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s Assets will be invested in equity securities of mid cap growth companies. Mid cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $1.99 billion to $251.61 billion. Growth companies are those that the adviser believes have growth potential compared to companies in the U.S. mid capitalization market more broadly, based on one or more of the following factors: projected future revenue growth, projected future earnings growth, historical revenue growth or historical earnings growth. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks of mid cap companies which the Fund’s adviser believes are capable of achieving sustained growth.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify companies that have a history of above-average growth or which the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. Growth companies purchased for the Fund include those with leading competitive positions that can achieve sustainable growth.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.
12 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
Growth Investing Risk. Because growth investing attempts to identify companies that the adviser believes will experience rapid earnings growth relative to value or other types of stocks, growth stocks may trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative
emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

The Fund’s 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 I Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Russell 3000® Index and Russell Midcap® Growth Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell Midcap® Growth Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

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 68% of the average value of its portfolio.
16 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of mid cap value companies. Mid cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from approximately $1.76 billion to $251.62 billion. Value companies are those that the adviser believes are undervalued or attractively valued, based on one or more of the following factors: how the stock price compares to the company’s sales, earnings, and assets, as well as the overall value of the company compared to its sales and the capital invested in it. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund’s investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening and proprietary fundamental analysis. The adviser looks for quality companies, which appear to be attractively valued and have the potential to grow intrinsic value per share. Quality companies generally have a sustainable competitive position, relatively lower levels of business cyclicality, high returns on invested capital and strong experienced management teams. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, changes in the
November 1, 2026 | 17
JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund (continued)
price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.
Value Investing Risk. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
18 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Russell 3000® Index and Russell Midcap® Value Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell Midcap® Value Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. 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.
The performance figures in the bar chart do not reflect any deduction for the front-end sales load, which is assessed on Class A Shares. If the load were reflected, the performance figures would have been lower.

Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, except when your investment is in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged investment plan, in which case you may be subject to federal income tax upon withdrawal from the tax-advantaged investment plan.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Currently, Class L Shares of the Fund are publicly offered only on a limited basis (see “Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds — CLASS SUBJECT TO A LIMITED OFFERING” in the prospectus for more information.)
What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks growth from capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class L Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 68% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of mid cap value companies. Mid cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from approximately $1.76 billion to $251.62 billion. Value companies are those that the adviser believes are undervalued or attractively valued, based on one or more of the following factors: how the stock price compares to the company’s sales, earnings, and assets, as well as the overall value of the company compared to its sales and the capital invested in it. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund’s investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening and proprietary fundamental analysis. The adviser looks for quality companies, which appear to be attractively valued and have the potential to grow intrinsic value per share. Quality companies generally have a sustainable competitive
November 1, 2026 | 21
JPMorgan Mid Cap Value Fund (continued)
position, relatively lower levels of business cyclicality, high returns on invested capital and strong experienced management teams. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.
Value Investing Risk. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient
22 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide
range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive
fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.14%, 1.64% and 0.89% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds.

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 65% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund is a small cap equity portfolio which is normally managed as a core portfolio, but which has the ability to proactively invest more heavily in either growth or value securities depending on market conditions and the convictions of the adviser. The portfolio managers will consider various factors when making overall allocation decisions for the Fund, including the relative attractiveness of growth and value securities and the relative valuations and fundamentals of companies in the small cap growth and value universes. Based on these considerations, the size of the allocation of the Fund to either growth or value securities may range from 30 to 70 percent of the Fund.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of small cap companies. Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell 2000 Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $5.62 million to $85.78 billion. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the Fund’s adviser seeks to outperform the Fund’s benchmark. The adviser employs a fundamental bottom-up investment process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify both growth and value securities.
In selecting growth securities, the adviser seeks to invest in companies that have a history of above-average growth or that the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. The adviser believes that investing in high quality growth companies whose long-term growth rates are underappreciated by the market will lead to attractive returns. Growth companies purchased for the Fund include those with leading competitive positions, predictable and durable business models and management that can achieve sustained growth.
In selecting value securities, the adviser seeks to invest in companies which have durable franchises and that the adviser believes to be attractively valued and to have the ability to grow intrinsic value per share. Companies with durable franchises generally have a sustainable competitive position relative to peers, high returns on capital, a diversified client or asset base and a strong brand.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may
invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a security that it believes offers a better investment opportunity or to reallocate the Fund’s assets between growth and value securities.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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
November 1, 2026 | 27
JPMorgan Small Cap Blend Fund (continued)
crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Strategy Risk. Although the Fund is normally managed as a core portfolio, it may invest more heavily in either growth or value securities, depending on market conditions and the convictions of the adviser. If the Fund invests more heavily in growth securities, it will be more subject to risks related to growth investing. Specifically, growth securities may trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other securities, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value. If the Fund invests more heavily in value securities, it will be more subject to risks related to value investing. Specifically, a value security may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the security price to increase do not occur.
Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of
certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, decreases in real estate values, overbuilding, increased competition and other risks related to local or general economic conditions, increases in operating costs and property taxes, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, possible environmental liabilities, regulatory limitations on rent, possible lack of availability of mortgage financing, market saturation, fluctuations in rental income and the value of underlying properties and extended vacancies of properties, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
28 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

The Fund’s 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 A Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Russell 3000® Index and Russell 2000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell 2000® Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. As of 6/1/18, the Fund changed its investment strategies and certain investment policies. In view of these changes, the Fund’s performance record prior to this period might be less pertinent for investors considering whether to purchase shares of the Fund. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive
fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.14%, 1.64% and 0.89% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a fundamental bottom-up investment process. The adviser seeks to invest in attractively valued companies with leading competitive positions and predictable and durable business models. It also seeks companies whose management has a successful track record of prudent capital allocation.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers.

The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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 net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in

Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically
and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

The Fund’s 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 A 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 and Russell 2000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell 2000® Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. 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.
The performance figures in the bar chart do not reflect any deduction for the front-end sales load, which is assessed on Class A Shares. If the load were reflected, the performance figures would have been lower.

What is the goal of the Fund?
The Fund seeks long-term capital growth primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of small-capitalization and emerging growth companies.
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. You may qualify for sales charge discounts on purchases of Class A Shares if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the J.P. Morgan Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in “Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds — SALES CHARGES AND FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY COMPENSATION” on page 105 and in “Financial Intermediary-Specific Sales Charge Waivers” in Appendix A of the prospectus and in “PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES” in Appendix A to Part II of the Statement of Additional Information.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.14%, 1.64% and 0.89% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 82% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s Assets will be invested in the securities of small capitalization growth companies. Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Growth Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $27.33 million to $23.35 billion. Growth companies are those that the adviser believes have growth potential compared to companies in the U.S. small capitalization market more broadly, based on one or more of the following factors: projected future revenue growth, projected future earnings growth, historical revenue growth or historical earnings growth. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund will invest primarily in common stocks. Typically, the Fund invests in securities of companies with a history of above-average growth, as well as companies expected to have above-average growth.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify companies that have a history of above-average growth or which the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. Growth companies purchased for the Fund include those with leading competitive positions that can achieve sustainable growth.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
38 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Growth Investing Risk. Because growth investing attempts to identify companies that the adviser believes will experience rapid earnings growth relative to value or other types of stocks, growth stocks may trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or
other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
November 1, 2026 | 39
JPMorgan Small Cap Growth Fund (continued)
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

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 82% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s Assets will be invested in the securities of small capitalization growth companies. Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Growth Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $27.33 million to $23.35 billion. Growth companies are those that the adviser believes have growth potential compared to companies in the U.S. small capitalization market more broadly, based on one or more of the following factors: projected future revenue growth, projected future earnings growth, historical revenue growth or historical earnings growth. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund will invest primarily in common stocks. Typically, the Fund invests in securities of companies with a history of above-average growth, as well as companies expected to have above-average growth.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify companies that have a history of above-average growth or which the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. Growth companies purchased for the Fund include those with leading competitive positions that can achieve sustainable growth.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.

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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Growth Investing Risk. Because growth investing attempts to identify companies that the adviser believes will experience rapid earnings growth relative to value or other types of stocks, growth stocks may trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or
November 1, 2026 | 43
JPMorgan Small Cap Growth Fund (continued)
sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

The Fund’s 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 L Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Russell 3000® Index and Russell 2000® Growth Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell 2000® Growth Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.14%, 1.64% and 0.89% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 82% of the average value of its portfolio.
46 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of small cap value companies. “Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from approximately $5.62 million to $24.23 billion. Value companies are those that the adviser believes are undervalued or attractively valued, based on one or more of the following factors: how the stock price compares to the company’s sales, earnings, and assets, as well as the overall value of the company compared to its sales and the capital invested in it. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund’s equity investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to its index, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. In managing cash flows, the Fund buys futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures contracts in response to cash outflows, thereby gaining market exposure to the index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that ranks stocks based on its proprietary stock ranking system. The rankings are then reviewed and adjusted utilizing fundamental research conducted by the investment team to enhance accuracy and consistency. The adjusted rankings are used to place stocks into portfolios.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
In general, stocks are purchased when they are among the top ranked within their sector. Stocks become candidates for sale when their ranking falls, when they appear unattractive or when the company is no longer a small cap company. The Fund may continue to hold the securities if it believes further
substantial growth is possible. Risk factor exposures are managed through portfolio construction. Portfolio constraints control for sector weights, position sizes and/or style characteristics of the Fund.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
November 1, 2026 | 47
JPMorgan Small Cap Value Fund (continued)
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Value Investing Risk. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests.
These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may

adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Russell 3000® Index and Russell 2000® Value Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell 2000® Value Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies with intermediate capitalizations.
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.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.09%, 1.59% and 0.84% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 60% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s Assets will be invested in equity securities of small- to mid-cap companies. Equity securities represent an ownership interest in the issuer. Small- to mid-cap companies are generally considered to be those companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2500® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell 2500 Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $5.62 million to $84.06 billion. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a fundamental bottom-up investment process and seeks to invest in attractively valued companies with leading competitive positions and predictable and durable business models. It also seeks to invest the Fund’s assets in companies whose management has a successful track record of prudent capital allocation.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in a company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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
52 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result
in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually

JPMorgan SMID Cap Equity Fund (continued)
large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Russell 3000® Index and Russell 2500® Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell 2500® Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. Effective 11/1/20, the Fund’s investment strategies changed. The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the Fund were managed using the current strategies. 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.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.14%, 1.64% and 0.89% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 97% of the average value of its portfolio.
56 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of small cap U.S. companies. Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell 2000 Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $5.62 million to $85.78 billion. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Sector by sector, the Fund’s weightings are similar to those of the Russell 2000® Index. The Fund can moderately underweight or overweight sectors when it believes it will benefit performance. The Fund pursues returns that exceed those of the Russell 2000® Index while seeking to limit its volatility relative to this index. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund’s investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to its index, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. In managing cash flows, the Fund buys futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures contracts in response to cash outflows, thereby gaining market exposure to the index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.
An issuer of a security will be deemed to be located in the United States if: (i) the principal trading market for the security is in the United States, (ii) the issuer is organized under the laws of the United States, or (iii) the issuer derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from the United States or has at least 50% of its total assets situated in the United States.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that ranks stocks based on its proprietary stock ranking system. The rankings are then reviewed and adjusted utilizing fundamental research conducted by the investment team to enhance accuracy and consistency. The adjusted rankings are used to place stocks into portfolios.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
In general, stocks are purchased when they are among the top ranked within their sector. Stocks become candidates for sale when their ranking falls, when they appear unattractive or when the company is no longer a small cap company. The Fund may continue to hold the securities if it believes further substantial growth is possible. Risk factor exposures are managed through portfolio construction. Portfolio constraints control for sector weights, position sizes and/or style characteristics of the Fund.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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,
November 1, 2026 | 57
JPMorgan U.S. Small Company Fund (continued)
country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing
and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a
58 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Fund’s Past Performance
This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of the Russell 3000® Index and Russell 2000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell 2000® Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the regulatory index. 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 97% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of small cap U.S. companies. Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell 2000 Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $5.62 million to $85.78 billion. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Sector by sector, the Fund’s weightings are similar to those of the Russell 2000® Index. The Fund can moderately underweight or overweight sectors when it believes it will benefit performance. The Fund pursues returns that exceed those of the Russell 2000® Index while seeking to limit its volatility relative to this index. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund’s investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to its index, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. In managing cash flows, the Fund buys futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures contracts in response to cash outflows, thereby gaining market exposure to the index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.
An issuer of a security will be deemed to be located in the United States if: (i) the principal trading market for the security is in the United States, (ii) the issuer is organized under the laws of the United States, or (iii) the issuer derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from the United States or has at least 50% of its total assets situated in the United States.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that ranks stocks based on its proprietary stock ranking system. The rankings are then reviewed and adjusted utilizing fundamental research conducted by the investment team to enhance accuracy and consistency. The adjusted rankings are used to place stocks into portfolios.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by
November 1, 2026 | 61
JPMorgan U.S. Small Company Fund (continued)
such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
In general, stocks are purchased when they are among the top ranked within their sector. Stocks become candidates for sale when their ranking falls, when they appear unattractive or when the company is no longer a small cap company. The Fund may continue to hold the securities if it believes further substantial growth is possible. Risk factor exposures are managed through portfolio construction. Portfolio constraints control for sector weights, position sizes and/or style characteristics of the Fund.
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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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. As a result, the share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the
financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.99%, 1.49% and 0.74% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 10/31/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 51% of the average value of its portfolio.
66 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?
The Fund will primarily invest in equity securities across all market capitalizations. The Fund may at any given time invest a significant portion of its assets in companies of one particular market capitalization category, such as large-capitalization companies. Equity securities in which the Fund invests primarily include common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in securities of value companies. Value companies are those that the adviser believes are undervalued or attractively valued, based on one or more of the following factors: how the stock price compares to the company's sales, earnings, and assets, as well as the overall value of the company compared to its sales and the capital invested in it. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals and proprietary fundamental analysis. The adviser’s aim is to identify attractively valued companies that have the potential to grow their intrinsic values per share and to purchase these companies at a discount.
As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
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 net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Large Cap Company Risk. Because the Fund invests in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when the Fund’s large cap securities are out of favor.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or
November 1, 2026 | 67
JPMorgan Value Advantage Fund (continued)
erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Value Investing Risk. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term
capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely
68 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

The Fund’s 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 A 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 and Russell 3000® Value Index. The Russell 3000® Index serves as the Fund’s regulatory index and provides a broad measure of market performance. The Russell 3000® Value Index is the Fund’s additional index and is more representative of the Fund’s investment universe than the
regulatory index. 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.
The performance figures in the bar chart do not reflect any deduction for the front-end sales load, which is assessed on Class A Shares. If the load were reflected, the performance figures would have been lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s
performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 51% of the average value of its portfolio.

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.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (NAV), market price, performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, 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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Large Cap Company Risk. Because the Fund invests in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when the Fund’s large cap securities are out of favor.
Smaller Company Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies) may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic,
market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Value Investing Risk. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur.
Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of the Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error.

Certain of the Fund’s transactions in foreign currency derivatives and other derivatives could also affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders which may result in the Fund realizing more ordinary income and short-term capital gain subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax returns.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis
on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities or liquidating other investments to meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

More About the Funds
Additional Information About the Funds’ Investment Strategies
Each of the Funds
Each Fund will invest primarily in equity securities as described below. Each Fund invests in common stock as a main strategy. Equity securities represent an ownership interest in an issuer. Although not a main strategy, a Fund’s investment in equity securities may also include:
●
preferred securities
●
convertible securities
●
trust or partnership interests
●
warrants and rights to buy common stock
●
equity securities purchased in initial public offerings
●
master limited partnerships.
All of these securities may be included as equity securities for the purpose of calculating a Fund’s 80% policy.
The following investments may be part of a Fund’s main investment strategies:
●
real estate investment trusts (REITs) which are pooled vehicles which invest primarily in income-producing real estate or loans related to real estate
●
derivatives, including futures contracts, options and swaps. In connection with its main investment strategies, a Fund may use futures to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash position. Each Fund is also permitted to use derivatives such as futures, options and swaps in order to hedge various investments and for risk management. Under certain market conditions, a Fund’s use of derivatives for cash management or other investment management purposes could be significant. Derivative instruments used by a Fund will be counted toward the Fund’s 80% policy to the extent they provide investment exposure to investments included within that policy or to one or more of the market risk factors associated with investments included in that policy.
Although not main strategies, the Funds may also utilize the following, some of which may be equity securities:
●
other investment companies
●
exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
●
affiliated money market funds
●
foreign securities, often in the form of depositary receipts
●
securities lending.
The Funds (except Diversified Fund) may invest in ETFs in order to gain exposure to particular asset classes. These other ETFs may be within the same group of investment companies (J.P. Morgan ETFs) or managed by unaffiliated investment advisers (unaffiliated ETFs). The other ETFs may be passively or actively managed. Passively managed ETFs generally seek to track the performance of a particular market index, including broad-based market indexes, as well as indexes relating to particular sectors, markets, regions or industries. The price movement of passively managed investment companies may not track the underlying index and may result in a loss. Actively managed ETFs do not seek to track the performance of a particular market index. The Funds will generally limit their investments in a single investment company to 5% of its total assets and in all investment companies and private funds to 10% of its total assets. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles whose ownership interests are purchased and sold on a securities exchange. As a result, ETFs may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their net asset value, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay or receive significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio when they purchase or sell their ETF shares, respectively. Investments in other investment companies are not a principal investment strategy of the Funds.
The Funds will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change in their 80% investment policies as described below.
The frequency with which each Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions.
The name, investment objective and policies of a Fund may be similar to other funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates. However, the investment results of a Fund may be higher or lower than, and there is no guarantee that the investment results of the Fund will be comparable to, any other of these funds. A new fund or a fund with fewer assets under management may be more significantly affected by purchases and redemptions of its shares than a fund with relatively greater assets under management would be affected by purchases and redemptions of its shares. As compared to a larger fund, a new or smaller fund is more likely to sell a comparatively large portion of its portfolio to meet significant redemptions, or invest a comparatively large amount of cash to

facilitate purchases, in each case when a fund otherwise would not seek to do so. Such transactions may cause funds to make investment decisions at inopportune times or prices or miss attractive investment opportunities. Such transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income if sales of securities resulted in gains and a fund redeems shares for cash, or otherwise cause a fund to perform differently than intended. While such risks may apply to funds of any size, such risks are heightened in funds with fewer assets under management. In addition, new funds may not be able to fully implement their investment strategy immediately upon commencing investment operations, which could reduce investment performance.
| FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES |
| An investment objective is fundamental if it cannot be changed without the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The investment objectives for Mid Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Blend Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and SMID Cap Equity Fund are fundamental. The investment objectives for the remaining Funds can be changed without the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of that Fund. |
Securities Lending. Each Fund may engage in securities lending to increase its income. Securities lending involves the lending of securities owned by a Fund to financial institutions such as certain broker-dealers in exchange for cash collateral. The Fund will invest cash collateral in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates and from which the adviser or its affiliates may receive fees. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to receive amounts equivalent to distributions paid on the loaned securities as well as the return on the cash collateral investments. Upon termination of the loan, the Fund is required to return the cash collateral to the borrower plus any agreed upon rebate. Cash collateral investments will be subject to market depreciation or appreciation, and a Fund will be responsible for any loss that might result from its investment of cash collateral. If the adviser determines to make securities loans, the value of the securities loaned may not exceed 33 1∕3% of the value of total assets of a Fund. The 33 1∕3% limit does not apply to securities lending activities that constitute similar financing transactions. Loan collateral (including any investment of that collateral) is not subject to the percentage limitations regarding a Fund’s investments described elsewhere in this prospectus.
Growth Advantage Fund
The Fund will invest primarily in common stocks of companies across all market capitalizations. The Fund may at any given time invest a significant portion of its assets in companies of one particular market capitalization category, such as large capitalization companies.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of growth companies. Growth companies are those that the adviser believes have strong growth potential compared to companies in the U.S. market more broadly, based on one or more of the following factors: projected future revenue growth, projected future earnings growth, historical revenue growth or historical earnings growth. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: The Fund invests in companies that the adviser believes have strong earnings growth potential. In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify companies that have a history of above-average growth or which the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. Growth companies purchased for the Fund include those with leading competitive positions that can achieve sustainable growth.
The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process. ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of ESG factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would.

More About the Funds (continued)
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
Mid Cap Equity Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of mid cap companies. Equity securities represent an ownership interest in the issuer. Mid cap companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell Midcap® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell Midcap Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $1.76 billion to $251.61 billion. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the portfolio management team employs an investment process that seeks to identify both growth and value securities for the Fund. The team seeks to identify companies with leading competitive positions, talented management teams and durable business models. In addition, the team will invest in companies that it believes either have the capacity to achieve a sustainable level of above average growth or have sustainable free cash flow generation with management committed to increasing shareholder value.
The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process. ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of ESG factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest.

Mid cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $1.99 billion to $251.61 billion. Growth companies are those that the adviser believes have growth potential compared to companies in the U.S. mid capitalization market more broadly, based on one or more of the following factors: projected future revenue growth, projected future earnings growth, historical revenue growth or historical earnings growth. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks of mid cap companies which the Fund’s adviser believes are capable of achieving sustained growth.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.

Mid Cap Value Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of mid cap value companies. Mid cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell Midcap® Value Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from approximately $1.76 billion to $251.62 billion. Value companies are those that the adviser believes are undervalued or attractively valued, based on one or more of the following factors: how the stock price compares to the company’s sales, earnings, and assets, as well as the overall value of the company compared to its sales and the capital invested in it. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund’s investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, constructing portfolios based on company fundamentals, quantitative screening and proprietary fundamental analysis. The adviser looks for quality companies, which appear to be attractively valued and have the potential to grow intrinsic value per share. Quality companies generally have a sustainable competitive position, relatively lower levels of business cyclicality, high returns on invested capital and strong experienced management teams.
The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process. ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions.

Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
Small Cap Blend Fund
The Fund is a small cap equity portfolio which is normally managed as a core portfolio, but which has the ability to proactively invest more heavily in either growth or value securities depending on market conditions and the convictions of the adviser. The portfolio managers will consider various factors when making overall allocation decisions for the Fund, including the relative attractiveness of growth and value securities and the relative valuations and fundamentals of companies in the small cap growth and value universes. Based on these considerations, the size of the allocation of the Fund to either growth or value securities may range from 30 to 70 percent of the Fund.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of small cap companies. Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell 2000 Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $5.62 million to $85.78 billion. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the Fund’s adviser seeks to outperform the Fund’s benchmark. The adviser employs a fundamental bottom-up investment process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify both growth and value securities.
In selecting growth securities, the adviser seeks to invest in companies that have a history of above-average growth or that the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. The adviser believes that investing in high quality growth companies whose long-term growth rates are underappreciated by the market will lead to attractive returns. Growth companies purchased for the Fund include those with leading competitive positions, predictable and durable business models and management that can achieve sustained growth.
In selecting value securities, the adviser seeks to invest in companies which have durable franchises and that the adviser believes to be attractively valued and to have the ability to grow intrinsic value per share. Companies with durable franchises generally have a sustainable competitive position relative to peers, high returns on capital, a diversified client or asset base and a strong brand.

Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Growth Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $27.33 million to $23.35 billion. Growth companies are those that the adviser believes have growth potential compared to companies in the U.S. small capitalization market more broadly, based on one or more of the following factors: projected future revenue growth, projected future earnings growth, historical revenue growth or historical earnings growth. “Assets” means net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund will invest primarily in common stocks. Typically, the Fund invests in securities of companies with a history of above-average growth, as well as companies expected to have above-average growth.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that combines research, valuation and stock selection to identify companies that have a history of above-average growth or which the adviser believes will achieve above-average growth in the future. Growth companies purchased for the Fund include those with leading competitive positions that can achieve sustainable growth.
The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process. ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of ESG factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest. The adviser’s assessment is based on an analysis of key opportunities and risks across industries to seek to identify financially material issues with respect to the Fund’s investments in issuers and ascertain key issues that merit engagement with issuers. These assessments may not be conclusive, and securities of issuers that may be negatively impacted by such factors may be purchased and retained by the Fund while the Fund may divest or not invest in securities of issuers that may be positively impacted by such factors. In particular, ESG Integration does not change the Fund’s investment objective, exclude specific types of industries or companies or limit the Fund’s investable universe. The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
The adviser may sell a security for several reasons. A security may be sold due to a change in the company’s fundamentals or if the adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued. Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
Small Cap Value Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of small cap value companies. “Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Value Index at the time of purchase. As of September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from approximately $5.62 million to $24.23 billion. Value companies are those that the adviser believes are undervalued or attractively valued, based on one or more of the following factors: how the stock price compares to the company’s sales, earnings, and assets, as well as the overall value of the company compared to its sales and the capital invested in it. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.
In implementing its main strategies, the Fund’s equity investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain or reduce exposure to its index, maintain liquidity and minimize transaction costs. In managing cash flows, the Fund buys futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sells futures contracts in response to cash outflows, thereby gaining market exposure to the index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a process that ranks stocks based on its proprietary stock ranking system. The rankings are then reviewed and adjusted utilizing fundamental research conducted by the investment team to enhance accuracy and consistency. The adjusted rankings are used to place stocks into portfolios.
The adviser also integrates financially material ESG factors as part of the Fund’s investment process. ESG Integration is the systematic inclusion of ESG issues in investment analysis and investment decisions. As part of its investment process, the adviser seeks to assess the impact of ESG factors on many issuers in the universe in which the Fund may invest.

The Fund is not designed for investors who wish to screen out particular types of companies or investments or are looking for Funds that meet specific ESG goals.
In general, stocks are purchased when they are among the top ranked within their sector. Stocks become candidates for sale when their ranking falls, when they appear unattractive or when the company is no longer a small cap company. The Fund may continue to hold the securities if it believes further substantial growth is possible. Risk factor exposures are managed through portfolio construction. Portfolio constraints control for sector weights, position sizes and/or style characteristics of the Fund.
SMID Cap Equity Fund
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s Assets will be invested in equity securities of small- to mid-cap companies. Equity securities represent an ownership interest in the issuer. Small- to mid-cap companies are generally considered to be those companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2500® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell 2500 Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $5.62 million to $84.06 billion. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks.
Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a fundamental bottom-up investment process and seeks to invest in attractively valued companies with leading competitive positions and predictable and durable business models. It also seeks to invest the Fund’s assets in companies whose management has a successful track record of prudent capital allocation.

U.S. Small Company Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities of small cap U.S. companies. Small cap companies are companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Index at the time of purchase. As of the reconstitution of the Russell 2000 Index on September 30, 2026, the market capitalizations of the companies in the index ranged from $5.62 million to $85.78 billion. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Sector by sector, the Fund’s weightings are similar to those of the Russell 2000® Index. The Fund can moderately underweight or overweight sectors when it believes it will benefit performance. The Fund pursues returns that exceed those of the Russell 2000® Index while seeking to limit its volatility relative to this index. In implementing its main strategies, the Fund’s investments are primarily in common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

Value Advantage Fund
The Fund will primarily invest in equity securities across all market capitalizations. The Fund may at any given time invest a significant portion of its assets in companies of one particular market capitalization category, such as large-capitalization companies. Equity securities in which the Fund invests primarily include common stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in securities of value companies. Value companies are those that the adviser believes are undervalued or attractively valued, based on one or more of the following factors: how the stock price compares to the company's sales, earnings, and assets, as well as the overall value of the company compared to its sales and the capital invested in it. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes.

Investments may also be sold if the adviser identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
The Value Advantage Fund may sell covered call options as an additional strategy. When it does so, the purchaser of the option has the right to buy that security at a predetermined price (exercise price) during the life of the option. If the purchaser exercises the option, the Fund must sell the stock to purchaser at the exercise price. The option is “covered” because the Fund owns the stock at the time it sells the option. As the seller of the option, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser of the call option, which may provide additional returns to the Fund.
Small Cap Equity Fund, SMID Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Blend Fund
While each Fund invests primarily in small cap securities (or in the case of SMID Cap Equity Fund small-to-mid cap securities) as defined above, each Fund may, to a limited extent, buy, continue to hold, as well as make additional investments in, a stock if it is above, or has appreciated beyond the market capitalization of the largest company included in the Fund's index.

Additional Risks
Communication Services Sector Risk. Communication services companies may be greatly affected by technological advancements, market competition, supply chain issues, and labor shortages. Companies in the communication services sector may also be affected by research and development costs, substantial capital requirements, pricing competition and government regulations. Certain communication services companies may also be susceptible to network security breaches including hacking, ransomware attacks, denial of service attacks, and potential theft, loss, or unauthorized disclosure of proprietary or consumer information, which may result in disruptions in service, reputational damage, regulatory penalties, or financial losses.Additionally, the communication services sector
November 1, 2026 | 85
More About the Funds (continued)
is impacted by fluctuating market demands both domestically and internationally, as well as shifting demographics and unpredictable changes in consumer preferences. Companies in the communication services sector also face intense competition in new product development, deployment, and delivery.
Convertible Securities Risk. A convertible security generally entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt securities, the dividend paid on preferred securities and payment of principal upon maturity until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible securities generally have characteristics similar to both debt and equity securities. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Convertible securities ordinarily provide a stream of income with generally higher yields than those of common stock of the same or similar issuers. Convertible securities generally rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure but are usually subordinated to comparable nonconvertible securities. Convertible securities generally do not participate directly in any dividend increases or decreases of the underlying securities, although the market prices of convertible securities may be affected by any dividend changes or other changes in the underlying securities. Certain types of convertible securities may decline in value or lose their value entirely if the issuer’s financial condition is significantly impaired.
Covered Call Option Risk. When the Fund sells covered call options, it receives cash but limits its opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of the security beyond the exercise price (plus the premium received). The gain on an underlying stock will be equal to the difference between the exercise price and the original purchase price of the underlying security, plus the premium received. In a rising market, the option may require the Fund to sell a security at an exercise price that is lower than the Fund would receive if the security was sold at the market price. If a call expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium received, although there may have been a decline (unrealized loss) in the market value of the underlying security during the option period which may exceed such gain. If the underlying security should decline by more than the option premium the Fund received, there will be a loss on the overall position.
Cyber Security Risk. As the use of technology, including cloud-based technology, has become more prevalent and interconnected in the course of business, the Funds have become more susceptible to operational and financial risks associated with cyber security, including: theft, loss, misuse, fraud, improper release, corruption and destruction of, or unauthorized access to, confidential, personal 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. A Fund and its service providers’ use of internet, technology and information systems may expose a Fund to potential risks linked to processing and human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, errors in algorithms used with respect to a Fund, changes in personnel, errors caused by third parties or trading counterparties, cyberattacks, and similar events. Recently, geopolitical tensions may have increased the scale and sophistication of deliberate cybersecurity attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. While a Fund and its service providers may establish business continuity and other plans and processes that seek to address the possibility of and fallout from such events, there are inherent limitations to these plans and systems, and certain risks may not yet be identified. 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. There can be no assurance that a Fund will not suffer losses relating to cyberattacks or other information security breaches in the future.
Derivatives Risk. A Fund may use derivatives in connection with its investment strategies. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed a Fund’s original investment. Derivatives are subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to a Fund, and the cost of such strategies may reduce a Fund’s returns. Certain derivatives also expose a Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), 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, a Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. In addition, a Fund may use derivatives for non-hedging purposes, which increases that Fund’s potential for loss.
86 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
Investing in derivatives and engaging in short sales will result in a form of leverage, which may be significant. Leverage involves special risks. A Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities. A Fund cannot assure you that the use of leverage will result in a higher return on your investment, and using leverage could result in a net loss on your investment. Registered investment companies such as a Fund are limited in their ability to engage in derivative transactions.
A 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 the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Fund’s after-tax return.
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 a Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error.
| WHAT IS A DERIVATIVE? |
| Derivatives are securities or contracts (for example, futures and options) that derive their value from the performance of underlying assets or securities. |
Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for a Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to “stock market risk” meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the prices of the types of securities in which a Fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of a Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in that Fund decreases in value.
Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) and Other Investment Company Risk. A Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of a Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when a Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF, although, for investments by a Fund in underlying J.P. Morgan ETFs, the adviser has agreed to waive Fund fees and expenses in an amount equal to those charged by the underlying J.P. Morgan ETFs. A Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF or investment company’s investments. The price and movement of an ETF designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, ETFs may trade at a price above (premium) or below (discount) their NAV, especially during periods of significant market volatility or stress, causing investors to pay significantly more or less than the value of the ETF’s underlying portfolio. Certain ETFs traded on exchanges may be thinly traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. In addition, the adviser’s authority to allocate investments among J.P. Morgan ETFs and unaffiliated investment companies creates conflicts of interest. For example, investing in J.P. Morgan ETFs will cause the adviser and/or its affiliates to increase assets under management or support particular investment strategies or J.P. Morgan ETFs. The Adviser also has a conflict with respect to the timing of investments, such as an incentive not to withdraw a Fund's investment from a J.P. Morgan ETF in order to avoid or delay the withdrawal's adverse impact on the underlying fund. These conflicts of interest are discussed further in the “Conflicts of Interest” section.
Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties
November 1, 2026 | 87
More About the Funds (continued)
of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. To the extent a Fund invests in foreign securities (including depositary receipts), these investments are subject to special risks in addition to those of U.S. investments. These risks include political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of a 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,” a 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. Many emerging market countries are heavily dependent on international trade and have fewer trading partners, which makes them more sensitive to world commodity prices and economic downturns in other countries. Some emerging market countries may have hostile relations with other countries. 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 market countries which can increase the risk of loss. From time to time, certain companies in which a Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company's performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions. In addition, due to jurisdictional limitations, U.S. regulators may be limited in their ability to enforce regulatory or legal obligations in emerging market countries. A Fund’s investments in foreign and emerging market securities may also be subject to
88 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
foreign withholding and/or other taxes, which would decrease a 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.
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, trade wars, retaliatory trade measures, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events.
The U.S. and other governments may renegotiate their global trade relationships and impose or threaten to impose significant import tariffs. The implementation of trade restrictions, currency controls, or similar measures (including retaliatory actions) could result in price volatility and overall declines in U.S. and global investment markets. The economic, fiscal, monetary and foreign policies of the U.S. government, including the imposition of tariffs, changes to its federal agencies and changes to regulatory policies, may impact the U.S. economy and could lead to increased market volatility.
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, or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
The effects of a global event to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund’s investments, increase a Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to a Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a global event that affect the instruments in which a Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of a 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.
Growth Investing Risk. Growth investing attempts to identify companies that the adviser believes will experience rapid earnings growth relative to value or other types of stocks. The value of these stocks generally is much more sensitive to current or expected earnings than stocks of other types of companies. Short-term events, such as a failure to meet industry earnings expectations, can cause dramatic decreases in the growth stock price compared to other types of stock. Growth stocks may also trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value. A Fund’s performance may be better or worse than the performance of equity funds that focus on value stocks or that have a broader investment style.
Healthcare Sector Risk. Companies in the healthcare sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the healthcare sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Healthcare companies are also subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the healthcare sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market. Several legislative proposals concerning healthcare have been considered by the U.S. Congress in recent years and it is unclear what proposals will ultimately be enacted, if any, and what effect they may have on companies in the healthcare sector.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. A Fund may engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. The effects of high portfolio turnover may adversely affect Fund performance.
Industrials Sector Risk. The value of securities issued by companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by supply and demand related to their specific products or services and industrials sector products in general. The products of manufacturing companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction. Government regulations, world events, economic conditions and exchange rates may adversely affect the performance of companies in the
November 1, 2026 | 89
More About the Funds (continued)
industrials sector. Companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by liability for environmental damage and product liability claims. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. Companies in the industrials sector, particularly aerospace and defense companies, may also be adversely affected by government spending policies because companies in this sector tend to rely to a significant extent on government demand for their products and services.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, a 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 a Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of a Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Initial Public Offering (IPO) Risk. IPO securities have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. The prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile and their purchase may involve high transaction costs. At any particular time or from time to time, a Fund may not be able to invest in securities issued in IPOs, or invest to the extent desired, because, for example, only a small portion (if any) of the securities being offered in an IPO may be made available to a Fund. In addition, under certain market conditions, a relatively small number of companies may issue securities in IPOs. Similarly, as the number of purchasers to which IPO securities are allocated increases, the number of securities issued to a Fund may decrease. The performance of a Fund during periods when it is unable to invest significantly or at all in IPOs may be lower than during periods when a Fund is able to do so. In addition, as a Fund increases in size, the impact of IPOs on the Fund’s performance will generally decrease.
Large Cap Company Risk. If a Fund invests in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when a Fund’s large cap securities are out of favor. In addition, large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology or consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful small cap companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Master Limited Partnerships Risk. A Fund may invest in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) whose ownership interests are publicly traded and that primarily derive their income from, among other industries, the mining, production, transportation or processing of minerals or natural resources, although they may also finance entertainment, research and development, real estate and other projects. Investments held by an MLP may be relatively illiquid, limiting the MLP’s ability to vary its portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, MLPs may have limited financial resources, their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume and they may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than securities of larger or more broadly-based companies. The risks of investing in an MLP are generally those inherent in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation. For example, state law governing partnerships is often less restrictive than state law governing corporations. Accordingly, there may be fewer protections afforded investors in an MLP than investors in a corporation. Additional risks involved with investing in an MLP are risks associated with the specific industry or industries in which the partnership invests, such as the risks of investing in real estate or oil and gas industries.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk. A Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in a Fund’s Shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities. The value of a Fund’s Shares may also be more volatile than the value of a fund which invests in more securities.
Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities generally have a preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuer’s common stock but rank junior to debt securities in an issuer’s capital structure. Unlike interest payments on debt securities, dividends on preferred securities are payable only if declared by the issuer’s board of directors. As a consequence, if the board of directors of an issuer does not declare dividends or distributions for the relevant dividend or distribution periods, the issuer will not be obligated to pay dividends or distributions on the relevant payment date, and such dividends and distributions may be forfeited. In addition, preferred securities are generally subject to the market and issuer risks applicable to equity securities generally, including fluctuations in value due to broad market or company-specific developments. Holders of preferred securities typically do not have voting rights except in certain circumstances where they may be given only limited voting rights. Preferred securities also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption provisions. Preferred shares may carry different rights or obligations in jurisdictions outside of the United States.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments or redemptions occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, a Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. A Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, which include, but are not limited to, sensitivity to changes in real estate values and property taxes, interest rate risk, tax and regulatory risk, fluctuations in rent schedules and operating expenses, adverse changes in local, regional or general economic conditions, including reduced demand for commercial and office space as well as increased maintenance or tenant improvement costs to convert properties for other uses, default risk of tenants and borrowers, the financial condition of tenants, buyers and sellers, and the inability to re-lease space on attractive terms or to obtain mortgage financing on a timely basis or at all, 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 a Fund.
The underlying mortgage loans may be subject to the risks of default or of prepayments that occur earlier or later than expected, and such loans may also include so-called “sub-prime” mortgages. The value of REITs will also rise and fall in response to the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties. REITs may be more volatile and/or more illiquid than other types of equity securities. A Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of a Fund.
In addition, certain of the companies in which a Fund intends to invest may have developed or commenced development on properties and may develop additional properties in the future. Real estate development involves significant risks in addition to those involved in the ownership and operation of established properties, including the risks that financing, if needed, may not be available on favorable terms for development projects, that construction may not be completed on schedule (resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs), that estimates of the costs of construction may prove to be inaccurate and that properties may not be leased, rented or operated on profitable terms and therefore will fail to perform in accordance with expectations. As a result, the value of a 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.
Regulatory and Legal Risk. U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies and other regulators regularly implement additional regulations or amend 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.
Securities Lending Risk. A Fund may engage in securities lending. Securities lending involves counterparty risk, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned or returned in a timely manner, and/or a loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower or the lending agent defaults. This risk is increased when a Fund’s loans are concentrated with a single or limited number of borrowers. In addition, a Fund bears the risk of loss in connection with its investment of the cash collateral it receives from a borrower. To the extent that the value or return of a Fund’s investment of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to the borrower, a 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, a Fund may borrow money to repay the applicable borrower the amount of cash collateral owed to the borrower upon return of the loaned securities. This will result in financial leverage, which may cause a Fund to be more volatile because financial leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities.
Short Selling Risk. The Fund’s strategy may involve more risk than other funds that do not engage in short selling or other short equity positions. The Fund’s use of short sales or other short equity positions in combination with long positions in the Fund’s portfolio in an attempt to improve performance or to reduce overall portfolio risk may not be successful and may result in greater losses or lower positive returns than if the Fund held only long positions. It is possible that the Fund’s long equity positions will decline in value at the same time that the value of its short equity positions increases, thereby increasing potential losses to the Fund.
In order to establish a short position in a security, the Fund must first borrow the security from a lender, such as a broker or other institution. The Fund may not always be able to obtain the security at a particular time or at an acceptable price. Thus, there is risk that the Fund may be unable to implement its investment strategy due to the lack of available securities or for other reasons.
After short selling a security, the Fund may subsequently seek to close this position by purchasing and returning the security to the lender on a later date. The Fund may not always be able to complete or “close out” the short position by replacing the borrowed securities at a particular time or at an acceptable price.
November 1, 2026 | 91
More About the Funds (continued)
In addition, the Fund may be prematurely forced to close out a short position if the lender demands the return of the borrowed security. The Fund incurs a loss as a result of a short sale or other short equity position if the market value of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date when the Fund replaces the security. The Fund’s loss on a short sale or other short equity position is potentially unlimited because there is no upward limit on the price a borrowed security could attain.
Further, if other short sellers of the same security want to close out their positions at the same time, a “short squeeze” can occur. A short squeeze occurs when demand exceeds the supply for the security sold short. A short squeeze makes it more likely that the Fund will need to replace the borrowed security at an unfavorable price, thereby increasing the likelihood that the Fund will lose some or all of the potential profit from, or incur a loss on, the short sale. Furthermore, taking short positions in securities results in a form of leverage. Leverage involves special risks described under “Derivatives Risk.”
The Securities and Exchange Commission and financial industry regulatory authorities in other countries have, in the past, imposed temporary prohibitions and restrictions on certain types of short sale transactions. These prohibitions and restrictions, or the imposition of other regulatory requirements on short selling in the future, could inhibit the ability of the adviser to sell securities short on behalf of the Fund.
Smaller and/or Mid-Sized Company Risk. (Small Cap Company and/or Mid Cap Company Risk). Investments in smaller and mid-sized companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes 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, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of securities of larger companies, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of a Fund’s investments. These risks are higher for small cap companies.
Strategy Risk. Although the Fund is normally managed as a core portfolio, it may invest more heavily in either growth or value securities, depending on market conditions and the convictions of the adviser. If the Fund invests more heavily in growth securities, it will be more subject to risks related to growth investing. Growth investing attempts to identify companies that the adviser believes will experience rapid earnings growth relative to value or other types of securities. The value of these securities generally is more sensitive to current or expected earnings than securities of other types of companies. Short-term events, such as a failure to meet industry earnings expectations, can cause dramatic decreases in the growth security price compared to other types of securities. Growth securities may also trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other securities, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value. During times when the Fund focuses more heavily on growth securities, the Fund’s performance may be better or worse than the performance of equity funds that focus on value securities or that have a broader investment style. If the Fund invests more heavily in value securities, it will be more subject to risks related to value investing. Value investing attempts to identify companies that, according to the adviser’s estimate of their true worth, are undervalued. The adviser selects securities at prices that it believes are temporarily low relative to factors such as the company’s earnings, cash flow or dividends. A value security may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the security price to increase do not occur. During times when the Fund focuses more heavily on value securities, the Fund’s performance may be better or worse than the performance of equity funds that focus on growth securities or that have a broader investment style.
Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of a Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulatory and policy changes and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Such competitive pressures may lead to limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability. In addition, certain technology-related companies in which a Fund may invest may not currently be profitable and there can be no assurance that such companies will be profitable in the future.
Transactions and Liquidity Risk. A Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests and its liquidity may be negatively impacted. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities a Fund wishes to, or is required to, sell are illiquid. To the extent a large proportion of shares of a Fund are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder) including funds or accounts over which the adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem Fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the adviser or its affiliates. In addition to the other risks described in this section, these transactions could
92 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
adversely affect the ability of the Fund to conduct its investment program. A Fund may be unable to sell illiquid securities at its desired time or price or the price at which the securities have been valued for purposes of the Fund’s net asset value. Illiquidity can be caused by a drop in overall market trading volume, an inability to find a ready buyer, or legal restrictions on the securities’ resale. Disruption to the activities of market makers, and limited pool of authorized participants could also contribute to decreased liquidity. Certain securities that were liquid when purchased may later become illiquid, particularly in times of overall economic distress. Similarly, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect a Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Large redemptions also could accelerate the realization of capital gains, increase a Fund’s transaction costs and impact the Fund’s performance. Large purchase and redemptions, including those by funds or accounts over which the adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, could also potentially limit a Fund’s ability to use any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains, if any.
Value Investing Risk. Value investing attempts to identify companies that, according to the adviser’s estimate of their true worth, are undervalued or attractively valued. The adviser selects stocks at prices that it believes are temporarily low relative to factors such as the company’s earnings, cash flow or dividends. A value stock may decrease in price or may not increase in price as anticipated by the adviser if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the adviser believes will cause the stock price to increase do not occur. A Fund’s performance may be better or worse than the performance of equity funds that focus on growth stocks or that have a broader investment style.
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 a Fund’s ability to execute its investment strategy. Generally, the permitted seeding period is three years from the implementation of a Fund’s investment strategy, 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 a Fund purchases, please read each “Risk/Return Summary” at the front of this prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information.
Conflicts of Interest
An investment in a Fund is subject to a number of actual or potential conflicts of interest. For example, the adviser and/or its affiliates provide a variety of different services to a Fund, for which the Fund compensates them. As a result, the adviser and/or its affiliates have an incentive to enter into arrangements with a Fund, and face conflicts of interest when balancing that incentive against the best interests of a Fund. The adviser and/or its affiliates also face conflicts of interest in their service as investment adviser to other clients, and, from time to time, make investment decisions that differ from and/or negatively impact those made by the adviser on behalf of a Fund. In addition, affiliates of the adviser provide a broad range of services and products to their clients and are major participants in the global currency, equity, commodity, fixed income and other markets in which a Fund invests or will invest. In certain circumstances by providing services and products to their clients, these affiliates’ activities will disadvantage or restrict the Funds and/or benefit these affiliates.
In addition, the adviser’s authority to allocate investments among J.P. Morgan Funds and unaffiliated investment companies creates conflicts of interest. Investing in J.P. Morgan Funds will cause the adviser and/or its affiliates to increase assets under management or support particular investment strategies or J.P. Morgan Funds (for example, by allocating capital to a fund that is small). The adviser also has a conflict with respect to the timing of investments, such as an incentive not to withdraw a Fund’s investment from a J.P. Morgan Fund in order to avoid or delay the withdrawal’s adverse impact on the underlying fund. These conflicts also could cause the adviser to adjust its asset class target or actual allocation to provide for increased use of J.P. Morgan Funds. Moreover, the portfolio managers and research analysts of certain Funds will, from time to time, have access to the holdings and may have knowledge of the investment strategies and techniques of certain J.P. Morgan Funds, for example, because they are part of the team that provides research or manages the other investment company. These individuals therefore face conflicts of interest in the timing and amount of allocations made to an acquired fund, as well as in the choice of an acquired fund.
The adviser expects to consider a variety of factors in selecting other investment companies (including ETFs) for investment, including in determining whether to allocate these investments to J.P. Morgan Funds or unaffiliated investment companies. The adviser expects these factors to include, among others, the strategy and holdings of the other investment company relative to the desired exposure for the investing Fund, the adviser’s assessment of the quality of the other investment company’s management and access
November 1, 2026 | 93
More About the Funds (continued)
to information to support this assessment, the liquidity and trading characteristics of an ETF or closed-end investment company (where applicable) and the costs of investing in the other investment company. The adviser anticipates that these factors will frequently result in selecting J.P. Morgan Funds rather than unaffiliated investment companies.
The adviser may also acquire material non-public information which would negatively affect the adviser’s ability to transact in securities for a Fund. The adviser and the J.P. Morgan Funds have adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to appropriately prevent, limit or mitigate conflicts of interest. In addition, many of the activities that create these conflicts of interest are limited and/or prohibited by law, unless an exception is available. For more information about conflicts of interest, see the Potential Conflicts of Interest section in the Statement of Additional Information.
Temporary Defensive and Cash Positions
For liquidity and to respond to unusual market conditions, the Funds may invest all or most of their total assets in cash and cash equivalents for temporary defensive purposes. In addition, certain Funds may invest in cash and cash equivalents as a principal investment strategy. These investments may result in a lower yield than lower-quality or longer-term investments.
| WHAT IS A CASH EQUIVALENT? |
| Cash equivalents are highly liquid, high-quality instruments with maturities of three months or less on the date they are purchased. They include securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper, money market mutual funds and bank deposit accounts. |
While the Funds are engaged in a temporary defensive position, they may not meet their investment objectives. These investments may also be inconsistent with a Fund’s main investment strategies. Therefore, the Funds will pursue a temporary defensive position only when market conditions warrant.

Expense Limitations
Small Cap 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 Class L Shares. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, 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.

may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in effect through 10/31/27, at which time it will be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such investments.
Additional 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.

The Board of Trustees of each trust and the Board of Directors of JPMFMFG are responsible for overseeing all business activities of their respective Funds.
Each of the Funds operates in a multiple class structure. A multiple class fund is an open-end investment company that issues two or more classes of shares representing interests in the same investment portfolio.
Each class in a multiple class fund can set its own transaction minimums and may vary with respect to expenses for distribution, administration and shareholder services. This means that one class could offer access to a Fund on different terms than another class. Certain classes may be more appropriate for a particular investor.
Each Fund may issue other classes of shares that have different expense levels and performance and different requirements for who may invest. Call 1-800-480-4111 to obtain more information concerning all of the Funds’ other share classes. A Financial Intermediary who receives compensation for selling Fund shares may receive a different amount of compensation for sales of different classes of shares.
The Funds’ Investment Adviser
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM) is the investment adviser to the Funds and makes the day-to-day investment decisions for the Funds. In rendering investment advisory services to the Fund, 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.

For performing these services, JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, receives an annual fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class C and Class I Shares of each Fund, as applicable, and an annual fee of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Class L Shares of each Fund, as applicable. JPMDS may enter into service agreements with Financial Intermediaries under which it will pay all or a portion of the annual fee to such Financial Intermediaries for performing shareholder and administrative services.

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/or 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.

| Advantages |
If you are eligible to have the sales charge reduced or eliminated or you have a long-term investment horizon, these shares have lower distribution fees over a longer term investment horizon than Class C Shares. |
No front-end sales charge is assessed so you own more shares initially. These shares may make sense for investors who have a shorter investment horizon relative to Class A Shares. |
No front-end sales charge or CDSC is assessed so you own more shares initially. In addition, Class I Shares have lower fees than Class A and Class C Shares. |
No front-end sales charge or CDSC is assessed so you own more shares initially. In addition, Class L Shares have the lowest fee structure of the shares offered in this prospectus. |
| Disadvantages |
A front-end sales charge is generally assessed, diminishing the number of shares owned. If you are eligible to have the sales charge reduced or eliminated, you may be subject to a CDSC. Class A Shares may not make sense for investors who have a shorter investment horizon relative to Class C Shares. |
Shares are subject to CDSC and have higher ongoing distribution fees. This means that over the long term Class C Shares accrue higher fees than Class A Shares. |
Limited availability and higher minimum initial investment than Class A and Class C Shares. |

To obtain information regarding sales charges and the reduction, and elimination or waiver of sales charges on Class A and Class C Shares of the J.P. Morgan Funds, see below, visit www.jpmorganfunds.com or call 1-800-480-4111. You may contact your Financial Intermediary about the reduction, elimination or waiver of sales charges. You may also contact your Financial Intermediary about any commissions charged by them on your purchase of Class I Shares.
Class A Shares
The public offering price of Class A Shares of each Fund is the net asset value (NAV) per share plus the applicable sales charge, unless you qualify for a waiver of the sales charge. The sales charge is allocated between your Financial Intermediary and the Distributor as shown in the tables below, except if the Distributor, in its discretion, re-allows the entire amount to your Financial Intermediary. In those instances, in which the entire amount is re-allowed, such Financial Intermediaries may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933.
The table below shows the front-end sales charge you would pay at different levels of investment, the commission paid to Financial Intermediaries, any finder’s fees paid to Financial Intermediaries and any applicable CDSC. Purchases at certain dollar levels, known as “breakpoints,” allow for a reduction in the front-end sales charge.

Reducing Your Class A Sales Charges
Each Fund permits you to reduce the front-end sales charge you pay on Class A Shares by exercising your Rights of Accumulation or Letter of Intent privileges. Both of these are described below.
Rights of Accumulation: For Class A Shares, a front-end sales charge can be reduced by breakpoint discounts based on the amount of a single purchase or through Rights of Accumulation. By using Rights of Accumulation, you may combine the current market value of any existing qualifying holdings and account types (as described below) with the amount of the current purchase to qualify for a breakpoint and reduced sales charge on the current purchase.
The amount of the sales charge will be calculated based on the higher of (a) the market value of your qualified holdings as of the last calculated NAV prior to your investment or (b) if you purchased shares after July 3, 2017, the initial value of total share purchases, or if you already held shares on July 3, 2017, the market value of the shares on that date, provided that, in either case, the value will be reduced by the market value on the applicable redemption date of any shares you have redeemed. Depending on their operational capabilities, Financial Intermediaries may utilize one or both of the methods described above so your holdings could be valued differently depending on where you hold your shares.
Letter of Intent: By signing a Letter of Intent, you may combine the current market value of any existing qualifying holdings and account types with the value that you intend to buy over a 13 month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase that you make during that 13 month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The 13 month Letter of Intent period commences on the day that the Letter of Intent is received by the J.P. Morgan Funds or your Financial Intermediary, and you must inform your Financial Intermediary or the J.P. Morgan Funds that you have a Letter of Intent each time you make an investment. Purchases submitted prior to the date on which the Letter of Intent is received by the J.P. Morgan Funds or your Financial Intermediary are considered only in determining the level of sales charge that will be paid. The Letter of Intent will not result in a reduction in the amount of any previously paid sales charges.
106 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
A percentage of your investment will be held in escrow until the full amount covered by the Letter of Intent has been invested. If the terms of the Letter of Intent are not fulfilled by the end of the 13th month, you must pay the Distributor the difference between the sales charges applicable to the purchases at the time they were made and the reduced sales charges previously paid or the Distributor will liquidate sufficient escrowed shares to obtain the difference and/or adjust the shareholder’s account to reflect the correct number of shares that would be held after deduction of the sales charge. The Letter of Intent will be considered completed if the shareholder dies within the 13 month period covered by the Letter of Intent. Commissions to dealers will not be adjusted or paid on the difference between the Letter of Intent amount and the amount actually invested before the shareholder’s death. Calculations to determine whether a Letter of Intent commitment has been fulfilled will be made on the basis of the amount invested prior to the deduction of any applicable sales charge.
Qualifying Holdings: Class A, Class C, Class I, Class L Shares and Class R6 Shares (only when used in advisory programs) of the J.P. Morgan Funds; Class A, Class C and the Advisor Class units in New York’s 529 Advisor-Guided College Savings Program (NY 529 Advisor-Guided Plan); and Class A, Class C and Class Z units of the Future Path 529 Plan. Investments in the JPMorgan 529 Stable Asset Income Portfolio and Future Path 529 JPMorgan Stable Asset Income Portfolio are not included.
Qualifying Accounts:
1.
Your account(s);
2.
Account(s) of your spouse or domestic partner;
3.
Account(s) of children under the age of 21 who share your residential address;
4.
Trust accounts established by any of the individuals in items (1) through (3) above. If the person(s) who established the trust is deceased, the trust account may be aggregated with the account(s) of the primary beneficiary of the trust;
5.
Solely controlled business accounts; and
6.
Single-participant retirement plans of any of the individuals in items (1) through (3) above.
You may use your qualifying holdings and account types even if they are held at different Financial Intermediaries. In order to obtain any reduction in the sales charge by utilizing either the Rights of Accumulation or Letter of Intent privileges, you must, before each purchase of Class A Shares, inform your Financial Intermediary or the J.P. Morgan Funds if you have any existing holdings that may be aggregated with your current purchase in order to qualify for a reduced front-end sales charge.
In order to verify your eligibility for a reduced sales charge, you may be required to provide appropriate documentation, such as an account statement or the social security or tax identification number on an account, so that J.P. Morgan Funds may confirm (1) the value of each of your accounts invested in J.P. Morgan Funds or in the NY 529 Advisor-Guided Plan or Future Path 529 Plan and (2) the value of the accounts owned by your spouse or domestic partner and by children under the age of 21 who share your residential address.
Certain Financial Intermediaries may not participate in extending the Rights of Accumulation or Letter of Intent privileges to your holdings in the NY 529 Advisor-Guided Plan or Future Path 529 Plan. Please check with your Financial Intermediary to determine whether the Financial Intermediary makes these privileges available with respect to NY 529 Advisor-Guided Plan and Future Path 529 Plan investments.
Additional information regarding the reduction of Class A sales charges is available in a Fund's Statement of Additional Information. To determine if you are eligible for Rights of Accumulation or Letter of Intent privileges or to request a copy of the Statement of Additional Information, call 1-800-480-4111. These programs may be terminated or amended at any time.
Sales Charge Waivers
The availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on whether you purchase your shares directly from a Fund or on a Financial Intermediary platform. Financial Intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (CDSC) waivers, which are discussed in Appendix A. Except as described in Appendix A, purchases will be subject to the waivers or discounts discussed below.
Waiver of the Class A Sales Charge
No sales charge is imposed on Class A Shares of the Funds if the shares were:
1.
Bought with the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.
November 1, 2026 | 107
Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
2.
Acquired in exchange for shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund if a comparable sales charge has been paid for the exchanged shares.
3.
Bought through a Financial Intermediary and not directly from the Funds by officers, directors, trustees, retirees and employees, and their immediate family members (i.e., spouses, domestic partners, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents and any dependent of the person, as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code) of:
●
J.P. Morgan Funds.
●
JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Former employees and their immediate family members can make subsequent purchases in accounts established during the employees’ employment. Officers, directors, trustees, retirees and employees, and their immediate family members of J.P. Morgan Funds and JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries and affiliates may open new Class I Share accounts subject to a $1,000 minimum investment requirement provided such accounts are opened directly from the Funds and not through a Financial Intermediary. Class I Shares have lower expenses than Class A Shares. Please call 1-800-480-4111 for more information concerning all of the Funds’ other share classes.
4.
Bought by employees of:
●
SS&C GIDS, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
●
Financial Intermediaries or financial institutions that have entered into dealer agreements with the Funds or the Distributor and their subsidiaries and affiliates (or otherwise have an arrangement with a Financial Intermediary or financial institution with respect to sales of Fund shares). This waiver includes the employees’ immediate family members (i.e., spouses, domestic partners, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents and any dependent of the employee, as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code).
5.
Bought by:
●
Employer sponsored retirement, deferred compensation, employee benefit plans (including health savings accounts) and trusts used to fund those plans. Employer sponsored plans include 401(k) plans, 457 plans, 403(b) plans, profit-sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans, retiree health benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans. Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs and KEOGHs plans do not qualify under this waiver.
●
Financial Intermediaries, including affiliates of JPMorgan Chase, who have a dealer arrangement with the Distributor, act in a custodial capacity, or who place trades for their own accounts or for the accounts of their clients and who charge a management, asset allocation, consulting, or other fee for their services.
●
Financial Intermediaries who have entered into an agreement with the Distributor and have been approved by the Distributor to offer Fund shares to investment brokerage programs in which the end shareholder makes investment decisions independent of a financial advisor; these programs may or may not charge a transaction fee.
●
Tuition programs that qualify under Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code.
●
A bank, trust company or thrift institution which is acting as a fiduciary exercising investment discretion, provided that appropriate notification of such fiduciary relationship is reported at the time of the investment to a Fund or a Fund’s Distributor.
6.
Bought in connection with plans of reorganization of a J.P. Morgan Fund, such as mergers, asset acquisitions and exchange offers to which a Fund is a party. However, you may pay a CDSC when you redeem the Fund shares you received in connection with the plan of reorganization.
7.
Purchased in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) established prior to September 2, 2014:
i.
That were established through a rollover from a qualified retirement plan for which J.P. Morgan Retirement Plan Services LLC had a contractual relationship to provide recordkeeping for the plan (an “RPS Rollover IRA”) or an IRA that was subsequently established in connection with the RPS Rollover IRA;
ii.
Where there is no broker of record for the IRA; and
iii.
Where UMB Bank, n.a. continues to serve as custodian for the IRA.
8. Purchased in an account where there is no broker of record as of April 10, 2017.
108 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
To determine if you qualify for a sales charge waiver, call 1-800-480-4111 or contact your Financial Intermediary. These waivers may not continue indefinitely and may be discontinued at any time without notice.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)
Certain redemptions of Class A and Class C Shares are subject to a CDSC. Please see “SALES CHARGES AND FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY COMPENSATION” for the amount of the applicable CDSC. The CDSC is calculated by multiplying the original cost of the shares by the CDSC rate. For Class A Shares, the CDSC is calculated from the date of the purchase of the applicable shares. For Class C Shares, the Fund assumes that all purchases made in a given month were made on the first day of the month.
No CDSC is imposed on share appreciation, nor is a CDSC imposed on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions.
To keep your CDSC as low as possible, the Funds will first redeem any shares that are not subject to a CDSC (i.e., shares that have been held for longer than the CDSC period or shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions), followed by the shares held for the longest time. You should retain any records necessary to substantiate historical costs because the Distributor, the Funds, the transfer agent and your Financial Intermediary may not maintain such information.
If you received Fund shares in connection with a fund reorganization, the CDSC applicable to your original shares (including the period of time you have held those shares) will be applied to the shares received in the reorganization.
Waiver of the Class A and Class C CDSC
No CDSC is imposed on redemptions of shares:
1.
If you participate in a Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw no more than the amount permitted to be withdrawn without a CDSC. Please refer to Systematic Redemption Plan in the “HOW TO REDEEM” table below.
2.
Made due to the death or disability of a shareholder. For shareholders that become disabled, the redemption must be made within one year of initial qualification for Social Security disability payments or within one year of becoming disabled as defined in section 72(m)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. This waiver is only available for accounts opened prior to the shareholder’s disability. In order to qualify for the waiver, the Distributor must be notified of the death or disability at the time of the redemption order and be provided with satisfactory evidence of such death or disability.
3.
That represent a Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA Account or other qualifying retirement plan. The waiver only applies to the pro rata required minimum distribution amount from the assets invested in one or more of the J.P. Morgan Funds.
4.
That are part of a J.P. Morgan Fund-initiated event, such as mergers, liquidations, asset acquisitions, and exchange offers to which a Fund is a party, or result from a failure to maintain the required minimum balance in an account. However, you may pay a sales charge when you redeem the Fund shares you received in connection with the Fund-initiated event.
5.
Exchanged into the same share class of other J.P. Morgan Funds. Your new Fund will be subject to the CDSC of the Fund from which you exchanged and the current holding period is carried over to your new shares. Please read “Exchanging Fund Shares” for more information.
6.
For Class C Shares only, if your Financial Intermediary has notified the Distributor before you invest that it is waiving its commission.
7.
Sold as a return of excess contributions from an IRA Account.
8.
Sold to pay the Distributor or a Financial Intermediary account-related fees (only if the transaction is initiated by the Distributor or the Financial Intermediary).
To see if you qualify for a CDSC waiver, call 1-800-480-4111 or contact your Financial Intermediary. These waivers may not continue indefinitely and may be discontinued at any time without notice.
Repurchase Rights
If you redeem shares in a mutual fund, Repurchase Rights may allow you to reinvest all or a portion of the redemption proceeds or repurchase shares at NAV if the purchase is made within 90 days of the sale or distribution. In order to take advantage of Repurchase Rights, you must inform your Financial Intermediary or J.P. Morgan Funds you wish to do so at the time of purchase. This policy does not apply to systematic purchases.
There is no sales charge on:
November 1, 2026 | 109
Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
●
Class A Shares if they are bought with proceeds from the sale of Class A Shares of a J.P. Morgan Fund
●
Class A Shares if they are bought with proceeds from the sale of Class I Shares or Class L Shares of a J.P. Morgan Fund
●
Class A Shares if they are bought with proceeds from the sale of Class R6 Shares of a J.P. Morgan Fund held in a fee-based advisory account
●
Class A Shares if they are bought with proceeds from the sale of Morgan Shares of a J.P. Morgan Money Market Fund, provided that the Morgan Shares were acquired from Class A Shares where a sales charge was paid or waived
In addition, if you repurchase Class C Shares within 90 days of a redemption, there will be no CDSC on the new Class C Shares.
Rule 12b–1 Fees
Each Fund described in this prospectus has adopted a Distribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 with respect to Class A and Class C Shares that allows it to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of these shares of the Funds. These fees are called “Rule 12b-1 fees.” Rule 12b-1 fees are paid by the Funds to the Distributor as compensation for its services and expenses in connection with the sale and distribution of Fund shares. The Distributor in turn pays all or part of these Rule 12b-1 fees to Financial Intermediaries that have agreements with the Distributor to sell shares of the Funds. The Distributor may pay Rule 12b-1 fees to its affiliates. Payments are not tied to actual expenses incurred.
The Rule 12b-1 fees (based on average daily net assets of the share class) vary by share class as follows:
| Class |
Rule 12b-1 Fee |
| Class A |
0.25% |
| Class C |
0.75% |
| Class I |
None |
| Class L |
None |
Rule 12b-1 fees, together with the CDSC, help the Distributor sell Class C Shares without an upfront sales charge by defraying the costs of advancing brokerage commissions and other expenses paid to Financial Intermediaries.
Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of Fund assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
With respect to Class A Shares transactions, for purchases at NAV where the Distributor paid a finder’s fee at the time of the purchase, the selling Financial Intermediary will start to receive the applicable Rule 12b-1 fee in the 13th month after the sale and the Distributor will retain the Rule 12b-1 fees during such period.
Service Fees
JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, receives an annual fee of up to the following fee (based on the average daily net assets of the applicable class of a Fund).
| Class |
Service Fee |
| Class A |
0.25% |
| Class C |
0.25% |
| Class I |
0.25% |
| Class L |
0.10% |
JPMDS may enter into service agreements with Financial Intermediaries under which it will pay all or a portion of that fee to such Financial Intermediaries for performing shareholder and administrative services.
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.
110 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
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.
Conversion Feature for Certain Class A Shares Held by Employees
Effective November 2, 2020, employees were no longer eligible to purchase Class A Shares in accounts where the Distributor is broker of record. Therefore, Class A Shares held by employees in such accounts with the Distributor were converted to Class I Shares beginning on November 6, 2020. Employees include officers, directors, trustees, retirees and employees, and their immediate family members (i.e., spouses, domestic partners, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents and any dependent of the person, as defined in Section 152 of the Internal Revenue Code) of J.P. Morgan Funds and JPMorgan Chase and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Because the share price of the Class I Shares may be higher than that of the Class A Shares at the time of conversion, you may receive fewer Class I Shares; however, the dollar value will be the same. After conversion, your new shares will no longer be subject to Rule 12b-1 fees charged on Class A Shares. You will not be assessed any sales charges, fees or other charges for the conversion of the shares, nor will you be subject to any federal income tax as a result of the conversion.
Class C Shares Conversion Feature
Class C Shares will be converted to Class A Shares in the following instances:
●
If an investor is eligible to purchase Class A Shares, then their Class C Share positions will convert to Class A Shares after 8 years, calculated from the first day of the month of purchase and processed on the tenth business day of the anniversary month.
●
If Class C Shares held in an account with a third party broker of record are transferred to a Fund direct account with no broker of record, those Class C Shares will be converted to Class A Shares on the tenth business day of the month following the transfer.
Because the share price of the Class A Shares may be higher than that of the Class C Shares at the time of conversion, you may receive fewer Class A Shares; however, the dollar value will be the same.
After conversion, your new shares will be subject to the lower Rule 12b-1 fees charged on Class A Shares. You will not be assessed any sales charges, fees or other charges for the conversion of shares, nor will you be subject to any federal income tax as a result of the conversion. You will not pay any CDSC when you sell Class A Shares that have converted from Class C Shares.
Purchasing Fund Shares
You may purchase shares directly from the J.P. Morgan Funds through the Distributor or through your Financial Intermediary.
This prospectus offers multiple share classes. Each share class has different sales charges and/or expenses. When deciding what share class to buy, you should consider the amount of your investment, the length of time you intend to hold the shares, the sales charges and expenses applicable to each share class and whether you qualify for any sales charge discounts. Please refer to “Choosing a Share Class” for investment minimums for initial and subsequent purchases and to help you determine which share class would be best for you.
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.
November 1, 2026 | 111

Morgan Funds, you may revoke your right to make purchases over the phone, fax or the internet by mailing written instructions to us. If you purchased 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.
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, plus any applicable sales charge.
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 CDSC or fees. In addition, you will not be entitled to recoup any sales charges paid to a Fund in connection with your purchase of Fund shares.

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
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 A Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for: |
| ●Class A Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund, |
| ●Morgan Shares of a J.P. Morgan money market fund (except for JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund), or |
| ●Another share class of the same Fund if you are eligible to purchase that class. |
| Class C Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for: |
| ●Class C Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund (except for JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund). Your new Class C Shares will be subject to the CDSC of the Fund from which you exchanged, and the current holding period for your exchanged Class C Shares is carried over to your new shares. |
| ●Class I, Class L or Class R6 Shares, if available, of the same Fund, provided you meet the eligibility requirements for the class you are exchanging into. In addition, the Class C Shares that you wish to exchange must not currently be subject to any CDSC. |
| ●Reserve Shares of a J.P. Morgan money market fund (except for the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund). Reserve Shares are not subject to an initial sales charge or CDSC. If you exchange Class C Shares that are subject to a CDSC to Reserve Shares, you will not pay a CDSC at the time of the exchange. However, your new Reserve Class Shares will be subject to the CDSC of the Fund from which you exchanged, and the current holding period for your exchanged Class C Shares will be carried over to your new Reserve Shares. Reserve Shares investment minimums may be waived for Class C shareholders that convert or exchange their Class C Shares into Reserve Shares of a J.P. Morgan money market fund (except for the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund). |
| Class I Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for: |
| ●Class I Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund, |
| ●Morgan Shares of a J.P. Morgan money market fund (except for JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund), or |
| ●Another share class of the same Fund if you are eligible to purchase that class. |
| Class L Shares of a Fund may be exchanged for: |
| ●Class L Shares of another J.P. Morgan Fund, or |
| ●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 a 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.
114 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
●
For Class A and Class C Shares only, you can set up a systematic exchange program to automatically exchange shares on a regular basis. However, you cannot have simultaneous systematic investment plans for the same Fund. You may call 1-800-480-4111 for complete instructions.
Generally, you will not pay a sales charge on an exchange except as specified below.
If you exchange Class A or Class C Shares of a Fund that are subject to a CDSC for Class A (Morgan Shares of a J.P. Morgan money market fund) or Class C Shares, respectively, of another Fund, you will not pay a CDSC at the time of the exchange, however:
1.
Your new Class A (Morgan Shares of a J.P. Morgan money market fund) or Class C Shares will be subject to the CDSC of the Fund from which you exchanged, and
2.
The current holding period for your exchanged Class A (Morgan Shares of a J.P. Morgan money market fund) or Class C Shares, is carried over to your new shares.
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, wired, or sent by ACH to a pre-existing bank account on file.

| Systematic Redemption Plan2, 3 Note: The Funds currently do not charge for this service, but may impose a charge in the future. |
You may include instructions to set up a Systematic Redemption Plan on your application. Payment instructions must be included. You may call, or mail written instructions to start, edit or delete a Systematic Redemption Plan. You may send a written redemption request to your Financial Intermediary, if applicable, or to the Fund at the following address: J.P. Morgan Funds Services P.O. Box 219143 Kansas City, MO 64121-9143 You may redeem over the phone. Please see “Can I redeem by phone?” for more information. If you own Class A or Class C Shares, the applicable CDSC will be deducted from those payments unless such payments are made:4 ●Monthly and constitute no more than 1/12 of 10% of your then-current balance in the Fund each month; or ●Quarterly and constitute no more than ¼ of 10% of your then-current balance in the Fund each quarter. It may not be in your best interest to buy additional Class A Shares while participating in a Systematic Redemption Plan. This is because Class A Shares have an upfront sales charge. |
1
You cannot request a redemption by check to be sent to an address updated within 15 days.
2
If the amount of the systematic payment exceeds the income earned by your account since the previous payment under the Systematic Redemption Plan, payments will be made by redeeming some of your shares. This will reduce the amount of your investment, up to possibly closing your account.
3
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 crediting your bank account.
4
Your current balance in a Fund for purposes of these calculations will be determined by multiplying the number of shares held by the last calculated NAV per share of the applicable class.
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 or through an ACH transaction for five business days following the acceptance of a purchase order unless you provide satisfactory proof that your purchase check or ACH transaction 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 CDSC or 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.
116 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
All redemption requests must be supported by valid identity authentication, the appropriate documentation (if applicable) and any necessary information in good order. Additional information may be required depending on the situation.
For accounts held directly with the Funds, the length of time that the Funds typically expect to pay redemption proceeds depends on whether payment is made by ACH, wire or check. The Funds typically expect to make payments of redemption proceeds by wire or ACH 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 ACH 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 1940 Act.
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 purchased shares directly with the J.P. Morgan Funds, you may revoke your right to make redemptions over the phone, fax or the internet by mailing written instructions to us. If you purchased shares through your Financial Intermediary, contact your investment representative regarding your ability to revoke or modify your redemption 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.
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,
November 1, 2026 | 117
Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
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. Paying redemption proceeds in-kind seeks to reduce 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 on the redemption and on any later sale of the securities, and you may incur brokerage fees or other charges in converting the securities to cash. Redemptions in-kind may be used in a Fund’s discretion, during both normal and stressed market conditions. Redemption in-kind proceeds will typically be made by delivering either a pro-rata or a non-pro-rata basket of a Fund’s holdings that are readily marketable securities to the redeeming shareholder within seven days after the Fund’s receipt of the redemption order.
The Funds and their service providers may temporarily hold redemption proceeds from accounts maintained directly with the Funds if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified Adult” refers to an individual who is (A) a natural person age 65 and older; or (B) a natural person age 18 and older who the member reasonably believes has a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
Minimum Account Balance
Due to the relatively high cost associated with maintaining small accounts J.P. Morgan Funds has established minimum balance requirements for each Fund held in your accounts. Minimum investment amounts per Fund are described earlier within the Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds section of this prospectus. If a shareholder does not maintain the required minimum balance in each Fund, J.P. Morgan Funds may either 1) redeem all remaining shares in that Fund or 2) charge a $10 below minimum balance fee per Fund. To collect the fee, the Fund will redeem $10 worth of shares from your account. The Funds and/or the Distributor reserve the right to determine whether we redeem all remaining shares and close your account or charge the annual below minimum account fee. You will not be charged a CDSC, if applicable, for these actions. Shareholders will receive written notice and be given 60 days to bring Fund balances above minimum requirements before action is taken on your account.
If your account is below the minimum balance, you are participating in a systematic investment plan, and you are not actively selling shares, it will be excluded from the minimum balance requirements as long as the systematic payments will increase your Fund value above the required minimum balance within 18 months of the date that the account was established. Once the required minimum account balance is reached, you must maintain the minimum investment amount in that Fund.
Investors in Class A or Class C Shares, employees investing in Class I Shares, as well as investors in the Premier and Morgan share classes of the J.P. Morgan Money Market Funds cannot combine investments for purposes of meeting the minimum.
Certain Financial Intermediaries or other organizations making the J.P. Morgan Funds available to their clients or customers impose minimum account balances that may be different than the requirements for investors purchasing directly from the Funds. If a shareholder purchases shares through such an intermediary and does not maintain the required minimum balance imposed by that intermediary, the intermediary may redeem the investor’s shares or impose a fee consistent with the terms of the investment arrangement with the investor. Please contact your intermediary for more information.
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.
Class Subject to a Limited Offering
LIMITED OFFERING OF THE CLASS L SHARES
The Funds’ Class L Shares are publicly offered only on a limited basis. Investors are not eligible to purchase Class L Shares of the Funds except as described below. In addition, a Fund may from time to time, in its sole discretion based on a Fund’s net asset levels and other factors, limit new purchases into a Fund or otherwise modify the closure policy at any time on a case-by-case basis.
Except as otherwise described below, shareholders of record are permitted to continue to purchase Class L Shares; if the shareholder of record is an omnibus account, beneficial owners in that account as of December 1, 2016 (“the Transition Date”) are permitted to continue to purchase Class L Shares.
●
Existing shareholders of Class L Shares of a Fund are able to continue to purchase additional Class L Shares of that Fund in their existing Fund accounts either through J.P. Morgan Funds Services or a Financial Intermediary and may continue to reinvest dividends or capital gains distributions from shares owned in the Fund;
118 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
●
Existing shareholders of Class L Shares of a Fund are able to add to their existing Fund accounts through exchanges from Class L Shares of other Funds;
●
Group Retirement Plans (as defined in the Glossary) may continue to use the Class L Shares of a Fund under certain circumstances. Effective April 3, 2017, new Group Retirement Plans are not eligible to purchase Class L Shares. Group Retirement Plans (and their successor, related and affiliated plans) which have Class L Shares of a Fund available to participants on or before April 3, 2017, may continue to open accounts for new participants in Class L Shares of a Fund and purchase additional shares in existing participant accounts. In addition, new Group Retirement Plans may purchase Class L Shares of a Fund until December 31, 2018, if it is determined that the particular Group Retirement Plan is having operational difficulties in implementing the new eligibility restrictions and receives the approval of the particular Fund and its Distributor;
●
Current and future J.P. Morgan Funds that are permitted to invest in other J.P. Morgan Funds may purchase Class L Shares of a Fund;
●
New York’s 529 Advisor-Guided College Savings Program may continue to utilize Class L Shares for new and existing program accounts;
●
Registered investment advisors using an approved custodial platform may utilize Class L Shares of any Fund in fee-based advisory programs for both new and existing program accounts;
●
Banks and trust companies acting as a fiduciary and using an approved custodial platform may continue to utilize Class L Shares of any Fund for new and existing customer accounts. New banks or trust companies may utilize a Fund only with the approval of that Fund and its Distributor; and
●
Other fee-based advisory programs currently utilizing a Fund may continue to utilize the Class L Shares of that particular Fund for new and existing program accounts and any new affiliated program.
Additional information that applies to all limited offerings:
If all shares of a Fund (or a Class subject to a limited offering) 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 or when participants in Systematic Investment Plans do not meet minimum investment requirements), 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. Repurchases during this 90 day period will not be subject to any applicable sales charges if such sales charges are normally waived for repurchases within 90 days of the redemption as described in the “Repurchase Rights” section above. However, these repurchase restrictions do not apply to Group Retirement Plans that are eligible to continue to invest under the limited offerings 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 J.P. Morgan 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.
November 1, 2026 | 119
Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
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 is not known by the Funds. While the Funds seek to monitor for market timing activities in omnibus accounts, the netting effect limits the Funds’ ability to locate and eliminate individual market timers. As a result, the Funds are often dependent upon Financial Intermediaries who utilize their own policies and procedures to identify market timers. These policies and procedures may be different than those utilized by the Funds.
The Boards of J.P. Morgan Funds have adopted various policies and procedures to identify market timers, including reviewing “round trips” in and out of J.P. Morgan Funds by investors. A “round trip” includes a purchase or exchange into a Fund followed or preceded by a redemption or exchange out of the same Fund. If the Distributor detects that you have completed two round trips within 60 days in the same Fund, the Distributor will reject your purchase and exchange orders for a period of at least 90 days. For subsequent violations, the Distributor may, in its sole discretion, reject your purchase and exchange orders temporarily or permanently. In identifying market timers, the Distributor may also consider activity of accounts that it believes to be under common ownership or control. Certain transactions, such as purchases or redemptions of shares in exchange for securities and cash (transactions in-kind), are not reviewed for purposes of identifying market timers, because these transactions generally do not dilute the value of Fund shares held by long-term shareholders, disrupt portfolio management or increase Fund expenses for all shareholders.
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 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, plus a sales charge. This is also known as the offering price. Shares are also redeemed at NAV, minus any applicable CDSC. The NAV of each class within a Fund varies, primarily because each class has different class-specific expenses such as distribution and service fees.
The NAV per share of a class of a Fund is equal to the value of all the assets attributable to that class, minus the liabilities attributable to that class, divided by the number of outstanding shares of that class. The following is a summary of the procedures generally used to value J.P. Morgan Funds’ investments.
Securities for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at their current market value. Other securities and assets, including securities for which market quotations are not readily available; market quotations are determined not to be reliable; or, their value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of trading on the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded but before a Fund’s NAV is calculated, may be valued at fair value in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the J.P. Morgan Funds’ Board of Trustees. Fair value represents a good faith determination of the value of a security or other asset based upon specifically applied procedures. Fair valuation may require subjective determinations. There can be no assurance that the fair value of an asset is the price at which the asset could have been sold during the period in which the particular fair value was used in determining a Fund’s NAV.
Equity securities listed on a North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchange are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Other foreign equity securities are fair valued using quotations from an independent pricing service, as applicable. The value of securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. is generally the NASDAQ official closing price.
Fixed income securities are valued using prices supplied by an approved independent third party or affiliated pricing services or broker/dealers. Those prices are determined using a variety of inputs and factors as more fully described in the Statement of Additional Information.
Assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing market rates from an approved independent pricing service as of 4:00 p.m. ET.
Shares of ETFs are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which the ETF is principally traded. Shares of open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.
Options traded on U.S. securities exchanges are valued at the composite mean price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes.
Options traded on foreign exchanges are valued at the settled price, or if no settled price is available, at the last sale price available prior to the calculation of a Fund’s NAV and will be fair valued by applying fair value factors provided by independent pricing services, as applicable, for any options involving equity reference obligations listed on exchanges other than North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchanges.
Exchange-traded futures are valued at the last sale price available prior to the calculation of a Fund’s NAV. Any futures involving equity reference obligations listed on exchanges other than North American, Central American, South American or Caribbean securities exchanges will be fair valued by applying fair value factors provided by independent pricing services, as applicable.
Swaps and structured notes are valued at the price provided 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.

Investing with J.P. Morgan Funds (continued)
Distributions and Taxes
Each Fund has elected to be treated and intends to qualify each taxable year as a regulated investment company. A regulated investment company is not subject to tax at the corporate level on income and gains from investments that are distributed to shareholders. Each Fund’s failure to qualify as a regulated investment company would result in corporate-level taxation and, consequently, a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.
Each Fund can earn income and realize capital gain. Each Fund deducts any expenses and then pays out the earnings, if any, to shareholders as distributions.
The Growth Advantage Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Blend Fund, Small Cap Equity Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, SMID Cap Equity Fund, U.S. Small Company Fund and Value Advantage Fund generally distribute net investment income, if any, at least annually. The Small Cap Value Fund generally distributes net investment income, if any, at least quarterly. The Funds will distribute 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:
●
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.
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.
122 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
A Fund’s investments in certain debt securities and derivative instruments may cause the 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 investment in REIT securities also may result in the Fund’s receipt of cash in excess of the REIT’s earnings; if the Fund distributes such amounts, such distributions could constitute a return of capital to Fund shareholders for federal income tax purposes.
A Fund’s transactions in futures contracts, short sales, swaps and other derivatives will be subject to special tax rules, the effect of which may be to accelerate income to the Fund, defer losses to the Fund, cause adjustments in the holding periods of the Fund’s securities, and convert short-term capital losses into long-term capital losses. These rules could therefore affect the amount, timing and character of distributions from the Fund, and, therefore, may increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. A Fund’s use of these types of transactions may result in the Fund realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions.
The extent to which a Fund can invest in master limited partnerships is limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code.
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.
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.

Glossary of Common Investment Terminology
For the purpose of the “INVESTING WITH J.P. MORGAN FUNDS” section, references to “account” and “Fund” are not interchangeable. Fund refers to an individual mutual fund position. An account may be invested in a single Fund or multiple Funds.
Breakpoints — Differences in sales charges that are assessed based on the amount of purchases. The larger the investment, the lower the sales charge.
Capital Gains Distribution — Payment to mutual fund shareholders of gains realized on securities that a Fund has sold at a profit, minus any realized losses.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) — A back-end sales charge imposed when shares are redeemed from a Fund. This fee usually declines over time.
Dividend Distribution — Payment to mutual fund shareholders of income from interest or dividends generated by a Fund’s investments.
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 the Distributor and/or shareholder servicing agent. Shares purchased this way will typically be held for you by the Financial Intermediary.
Group Retirement Plans — Refers to 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
●
Shares must be held at a plan level or
●
Shares must be held 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 IRAs, Roth IRAs, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, KEOGHs, individual 401(k) or individual 403(b) plans.
Institutional Investors — Include fee-based “wrap” account sponsors (provided they have an agreement covering the arrangement with the Distributor), corporations, qualified nonprofit organizations, charitable trusts, foundations and endowments, state, county, city or any instrumentality, department, authority or agency thereof, and banks, trust companies or other depository institutions investing for their own account or on behalf of their clients.
Letter of Intent (LOI) — A Letter of Intent is signed by an investor stating the investor’s intention to buy a specified amount over a period of 13 months in order to receive a reduced front-end sales charge. Each purchase the investor makes during the 13 month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount specified in the Letter of Intent. If the amount is not met within the 13 month period, the investor must pay the Distributor the difference between the sales charges applicable to the purchases at the time they were made and the reduced sales charges previously paid. A Letter of Intent shall be based on the sales charge and breakpoint schedules in effect when the initial shares were purchased.
Medallion Signature Guarantee — A special stamp used to verify the authenticity of certain documents. It is a guarantee by a financial institution that the signature is genuine and the financial institution accepts liability for any forgery. Medallion signature guarantees protect shareholders by preventing unauthorized transfer of assets that could result in monetary losses to the investor due to fraud. Medallion guarantee stamps can be obtained at many bank branches or brokerage firms.
Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) — Refers to the annual amounts that must be withdrawn from pre-tax retirement accounts (such as Traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs) in or after the year the shareholder reaches the qualified age based on applicable IRS regulations.
Rights of Accumulation (ROA) — When utilizing “rights of accumulation,” the investor can combine the current market value of any existing qualifying holdings and account types with the amount of the current purchase to qualify for a breakpoint and reduced front-end sales charge on the current purchase. Rights of Accumulation shall be based on the sales charge and breakpoint schedules in effect when the initial shares were purchased.
Uncollected Shares — Shares purchased directly through J.P. Morgan Funds Services by check or through an ACH transaction are not available for redemption for up to five business days following the acceptance of a purchase order unless you provide satisfactory proof that your purchase check or ACH transaction has cleared.
Wire or ACH — Refers to the method used for payment or redemptions. Movement of money by wire is typically faster than money sent by ACH (Automated Clearing House). While J.P. Morgan Funds does not charge for either method, your bank may charge a fee for these services.

Financial Highlights
The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand each Fund’s financial performance for each share class for the past five fiscal years or the period of a Fund’s operations, as applicable. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information for each period presented has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, whose reports, along with each Fund’s financial statements, are included in the respective Fund’s Financial Statements and Other Information, which is available online at www.jpmorganfunds.com or upon request by calling J.P. Morgan Funds Services at 1-800-480-4111.
To the extent a Fund invests in other funds, the Total Annual Operating Expenses included in the Fee Table will not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets in the financial highlights below.

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

Effective 1/1/10, the investment advisory business of JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc. (JPMIA), which was the adviser for certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, was transferred to JPMIM and JPMIM became the investment adviser for certain J.P. Morgan Funds that were previously advised by JPMIA.
A Fund’s annual return is reduced by its fees and expenses for that year. The examples below are intended to help you understand the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s fees and expenses on your investment through a hypothetical investment of $10,000 held for the next 10 years. The examples assume the following:
●
On November 1, 2026, you invest $10,000 in the Fund and you will hold the shares for the entire 10 year period;
●
Your investment has a 5% return each year;
●
The Fund’s operating expenses remain at the levels discussed below and are not affected by increases or decreases in Fund assets over time;
●
At the time of purchase, any applicable initial sales charges (loads) are deducted; and
●
There is no sales charge (load) on reinvested dividends.
●
The annual costs are calculated using the Net Expense Ratios for the period through the expiration of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements memorialized in a written contract between the Funds and JPMIM and/or its affiliates; and the Gross Expense Ratios thereafter.
148 |
“Gross Cumulative Return” shows what the cumulative return on your investment at the end of each 12 month period (year) ended October 31 would be if Fund expenses are not deducted. “Net Cumulative Return” shows what the cumulative return on your investment at the end of each year would be assuming Fund expenses are deducted each year in the amount shown under “Annual Costs.” “Net Annual Return” shows what effect the “Annual Costs” will have on the assumed 5% annual return for each year.
Your actual costs may be higher or lower than those shown.

POLICIES REGARDING TRANSACTIONS THROUGH EDWARD JONES
Effective on or after January 1, 2024, the following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in Fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts and waivers described elsewhere in this Fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of J.P. Morgan Funds, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Breakpoints
●
Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”)
●
The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A Shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of the J.P. Morgan Funds held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing
156 | J.P. Morgan U.S. Equity Funds
groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
●
The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
●
ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent (“LOI”)
●
Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
●
If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.
Front-End Sales Charge Waivers
Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations:
●
Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate’s life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones’ policies and procedures.
●
Shares purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
●
Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
●
Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, the sale and purchase are made from a share class that charges a front load and one of the following:
●
The redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
●
The redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversions, recharacterizing of contributions, or distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same pricing group.
●
The Right of Reinstatement excludes systematic or automatic transactions including, but not limited to, purchases made through payroll deductions, liquidations to cover account fees, and reinvestments from non-mutual fund products.
●
Shares exchanged into Class A Shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same Fund and was initiated at the discretion of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in a Fund’s prospectus.
●
Exchanges from Class C Shares to Class A Shares of the same Fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers
If the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
●
The death or disability of the shareholder.
●
Systematic withdrawals with up to 10% per year of the account value.
●
Return of excess contributions from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
●
