    1. JPMorgan Asian Total Return Bond Fund

    Important information
    JPMorgan Asian Total Return Bond Fund
    1. The Fund invests primarily (at least 70%) in Asian bonds and other debt securities. The Fund will have limited RMB denominated underlying investments.
    2. The Fund is exposed to risks related to debt securities (including interest rate risk, below investment grade/ unrated investment risk, investment grade bond risk, sovereign debt risk, valuation risk, credit risk and credit rating agency risk) emerging markets, concentration, currency, derivatives, liquidity, hedging, class currency and currency hedged classes. Pertaining to investments in below investment grade or unrated debt securities, these securities may be subject to higher liquidity risks and credit risks comparing with investment grade bonds, with an increased risk of loss of investment. For RMB hedged class, risks associated with the RMB currency and currency hedged classes risks. RMB is currently not freely convertible and RMB convertibility from offshore RMB (CNH) to onshore RMB (CNY) is a managed currency process subject to foreign exchange control policies of and restrictions imposed by the Chinese government. There can be no assurance that RMB will not be subject to devaluation at some point. The Manager may, under extreme market conditions when there is not sufficient RMB for currency conversion and with the approval of the Trustee, pay redemption monies and/or distributions in USD.
    3. Where the income generated by the Fund is insufficient to pay a distribution as the Fund declares, the Manager may at its discretion determine such distributions may be paid from capital including realised and unrealised capital gains. Investors should note that the payment of distributions out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any payments of distributions by the Fund may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value per unit.
    4. Investors may be subject to substantial losses.
    5. Investors should not solely rely on this document to make any investment decision.

    Why JPMorgan Asian Total Return Bond Fund Now?  | Investment Insights: Asian Bond | Fund Details

     

    Which is why the JPMorgan Asian Total Return Bond Fund navigates through the evolving fixed income markets, tapping the broad spectrum of Asian bond sectors for compelling income opportunities.

    CAPTURING THE VAST POTENTIAL ACROSS ASIAN BONDS

    Supportive backdrop from accommodative policies

    Over six months into 2020, geopolitical uncertainty and the public health crisis continue to dominate markets. Central banks and governments have responded with massive monetary and fiscal stimulus to support economies and help mitigate risks. Inflation is expected to remain benign in Asia, potentially giving policymakers more room for quantitative easing policies, which could be a boon for debt markets.

    Better positioned to capture income potential

    Investors’ search for yield has become tougher in the era of ultra-low, or zero interest rates. When compared with other regions around the globe, Asian bonds generally offer more attractive income potential. Meanwhile, investing in higher-yielding local currency debt may help enhance potential returns.

    Risk diversification potential

    Various Asian bonds exhibit lower, or negative correlation to US Treasuries while offering compelling returns. Similarly, USD Asian IG bonds and local currency Asian bonds also show lower correlation to equities. Taking a diversified approach across Asian bond sectors could offer diversification^ benefits to the overall portfolio.

    ^ Diversification does not guarantee investment return and does not eliminate the risk of loss.
