Fixed Income Funds - Important Information
JPMorgan Asian Total Return Bond Fund
- The Fund invests primarily (at least 70%) in Asian bonds and other debt securities. The Fund will have limited RMB denominated underlying investments.
- 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.
- 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.

JPMorgan Funds – Income Fund
- The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of debt securities.
- The Fund is therefore exposed to emerging markets, investment grade bonds, credit, sovereign, interest rate risks which may affect the price of bonds, concentration, convertibles, equity, currency, liquidity, derivative and distribution (no assurance on distribution or the frequency of distribution or distribution rate or dividend yield) risks. 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. Investments in asset backed securities and mortgage backed securities may be subject to greater credit, liquidity and interest rate risks compared to other debt securities such as government issued bonds and are often exposed to extension and prepayment risks.
- The Fund may at its discretion pay dividends out of capital. The Fund may also at its discretion pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of the Fund’s fees and expenses to the capital of the Fund, resulting in an increase in distributable amount for the payment of dividends and therefore, effectively paying dividends out of realised, unrealised capital gains or capital. Investors should note that, share classes of the Fund which pay dividends may distribute not only investment income, but also realised and unrealised capital gains or capital. Payment of dividends out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any dividend payments, irrespective of whether such payment is made up or effectively made up out of income, realised and unrealised capital gains or capital, may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share.
