Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through
its ownership of shares in other investment companies, including affiliated money market funds, other mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and business development companies. The impact of Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses is included in the total
returns of the Fund. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not direct costs of the Fund, are no used to calculate the Funds net asset value per share and are not included in the calculation of the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in
the Financial Highlights section of the Funds prospectus. 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 How to Do Business with the Fund SALES CHARGES on page 15 of the prospectus and in PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND
EXCHANGES in Appendix A to Part II of the Statement of Additional Information.

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 and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses are equal
to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 2/28/15, 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 Funds performance. During the Funds most recent fiscal year,
the Funds portfolio turnover rate (including short sales) was 196% of the average value of its portfolio.
What are the Funds main investment strategies?
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by taking both long and short positions in equity securities, across all market capitalizations, including those with
market capitalizations below $250 million and targeting an overall net equity market exposure of
20%-80%.
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs), depositary receipts
and exchange traded funds (ETFs). By adjusting its overall exposure to the equity market, the Fund seeks to provide some protection in down markets when compared to a fund that takes only long positions.
The Fund may invest in securities of companies across all market capitalizations. The Funds adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM),
may invest a significant portion or all of the Funds assets in companies of one particular market capitalization category when JPMIM believes such companies offer attractive opportunities.
The Fund purchases securities that JPMIM believes are undervalued and sells short securities that it believes are overvalued. Under normal market conditions,
its net long equity market exposure will not exceed 80% and its net short equity market exposure will not exceed 20%. Further, the Funds gross equity
market exposure is limited to 200%. The Fund may hold a substantial portion of its total assets in cash when it holds significant short positions.
Selling securities short allows the Fund to more fully exploit insights into securities that the Funds adviser expects to underperform. Short sales
generally involve the sale of a security which the Fund does not own in hopes of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, the Fund must borrow the security, and the Fund is obligated to return the
security to the lender, which is accomplished by a later purchase of the security by the Fund.
The Fund may use ETFs to manage the Funds
overall equity market and sector exposures. In particular, JPMIM will take long and short positions in ETFs to increase/decrease equity market/sector exposures in place of using individual equity securities. The ETFs in which the Fund will invest
are pooled investment vehicles that seek to track the performance of an underlying index. These underlying indexes include not only broad-based market indexes but more specific indexes as well, including those relating to particular sectors,
markets, regions or industries.
The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, JPMIM uses a
bottom-up
fundamental approach, selecting the best ideas from
its research analysts and utilizing the insights of approximately 240 members of the US and global research team. JPMIM sets defined price targets and sale stops when entering into a long or short position. JPMIM buys and covers shorts in equity
securities that are identified as undervalued and considers selling or shorting securities when they appear overvalued. JPMIM takes long and short positions in those securities in which it has the highest conviction. Once the individual long and
short positions are selected, JPMIM may adjust the Funds equity market and sector exposures through the use of ETFs.
The Funds
Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the advisers expectations regarding
particular securities 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.
2
Equity Market Risk.
The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad
market or changes in a companys financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Funds portfolio or the
securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Funds 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.
Smaller Cap Company Risk.
Because the Fund may invest in
equity investments of companies across all market capitalizations, the Funds risks increase as it invests more heavily in smaller companies (mid cap and small cap companies). Smaller cap companies may be more volatile and more vulnerable to
economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.
Investment Company and ETF Risk.
The Fund may invest in ETFs as a primary strategy, so the Funds investment performance and risks are directly related to the performance and risks of the
underlying funds. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Funds expenses and similar expenses of the underlying funds. Certain underlying funds such as ETFs may not be actively managed. Securities may be purchased, held and
sold by such funds when an actively managed fund would not do so. ETFs may trade at a price below their net asset value (also known as a discount).
Short Selling Risk.
The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security sold short increases in value between the date
of the short sale and the date on which the Fund purchases the security to replace the borrowed security. In addition, a lender may request, or market conditions may dictate, that securities sold short be returned to the lender on short notice, and
the Fund may have to buy the securities sold short at an unfavorable price. If this occurs, any anticipated gain to the Fund may be reduced or eliminated or the short sale may result in a loss. The Funds losses are potentially unlimited in a
short sale transaction. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the advisers ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. Furthermore, taking short positions in
securities results in a form of leverage which may cause the Fund to be more volatile.
Foreign Securities Risk.
To the extent the Fund invests in depositary receipts, such investments are
subject to additional risks including political and economic risks, greater volatility, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and
disclosure standards of foreign markets. 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.
Real Estate Securities Risk.
The Funds 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.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk.
The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent
trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased capital gains, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Redemption Risk.
The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. 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 for the securities held long (or appreciating prices of securities held short).
Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are
not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Funds Past Performance
This section
provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Funds Select Class Shares has varied from year to year for the past three calendar years. The table shows the average annual total
returns for the past one year and the life of the Fund. The table compares that performance to the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, the S&P 500 Index and the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Index, an index
3
based on the total returns of certain mutual funds within the Funds designated category as determined by Lipper. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication
of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.

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
4
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 intermediarys website for more information.
