    1. JPMorgan Multi Income Fund

    Important information
    JPMorgan Multi Income Fund
    1. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of income-producing equities, bonds and other securities. The Fund will primarily invest (at least 70%) in debt and equity securities. The Fund will have limited RMB denominated underlying investments.
    2. The Fund is therefore exposed to a range of investment related risks which includes risk related to dynamic asset allocation strategy, debt securities (including investment grade bond risks, below investment grade/ unrated invest risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, sovereign debt risk and valuation risk), asset backed securities, mortgage backed securities, collateralised loan obligations and asset backed commercial papers, equity, real estate market (associated with the risk of investing in REITs and other property related securities; direct investment in real estate is not permitted), emerging markets, concentration, currency, derivatives, liquidity, hedging, class currency, currency hedged classes and Eurozone sovereign debt crisis. 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. Also, a positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return on the total investment.
    4. Investors may be subject to substantial losses.
    5. Investors should not solely rely on this document to make any investment decision.

    SEEKING INCOME AS RATE HIKES LOOM

    Most investors are intensifying their search for more attractive income prospects as they are likely to face another year of negative real cash returns in 2022, or possibly longer. 

    As illustrated in the chart, real yields stood at -3.14% while inflation was 4.58%, as of 16 December 2021. As inflationary pressure is building up in certain regions, some central banks are considering raising rates, albeit gradually.

    Increasingly, investors are looking for a wider range of assets that can generate enough income so that their overall portfolio’s purchasing power is not eroded by inflation. 

    Interest rates and inflation

    Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, FactSet, Federal Reserve, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Real 10-year Treasury yields are calculated as the daily Treasury yield less year-over-year core CPI inflation for that month except for December and November 2021 where real yields are calculated by subtracting out December 2021 year-over-year core inflation. Data are as of 16.12.2021.

    Record of performance

    Keeping the key objectives of yield, risk and return in mind, we seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted income for investors through different market cycles.

    The portfolio has demonstrated the benefits of diversification through flexible asset allocation, outperforming peers in the various rising rate periods in the past five years, as illustrated in the chart below.

    Diversified income sources

    INCOME FROM DIVIDENDS

    The global economic recovery continues and the fundamental picture for global dividends look cyclically attractive as economies around the world reopen and pent-up consumer demand is materialising, supporting corporate earnings.

    Quality equities could offer attractive opportunities of dividend income, as illustrated in the chart below.

    INCOME FROM YIELDS

    Additionally, fixed income assets with high-yielding potential like high-yield bonds continue to be a relatively attractive source of income, as illustrated in the chart below. For example, Europe high-yield bonds can present potential diversification benefits and they also have shorter duration.

    In fixed income investing, duration is a gauge of interest rate risk, showing how bond prices will likely change when interest rates move. As the movement of interest rates can have a significant impact on an income portfolio, managing duration is crucial for both alpha generation and risk management4.

Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of the principal) of a fixed income investment to a change in interest rates and is expressed as number of years. Yields are not guaranteed, positive yield does not imply positive return. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results. Data reflect most recently available as of 30.09.2021.

     

    INCOME FROM HYBRID ASSETS

    Other hybrid assets such as preferred equities are also generally higher in the capital structure compared with common stocks. Such assets are also generally supported by the strong fundamentals in financials and robust capitalisation of banks5, which comprise the majority of preferred equities.

    Active management

    Drawing on 50+ years of experience in multi-asset investing as a team, we dynamically allocate across geographies, asset classes, market capitalisation and capital structures, striving to provide investors with a consistent and attractive income stream and the opportunity for capital growth in a truly diversified portfolio.

     A dynamic multi-asset approach allows investors to seek the high-conviction income opportunities in the prevailing market conditions. The portfolio6 has maintained a risk-on tilt since the COVID-19 drawdown in March 2020, favouring equity exposures that are geared to continued recovery, as well as adding covered call positions which provided attractive income and upside participation opportunities. Within fixed income, we have preferred low-duration, high-carry credit such as high yield where we continue to see strong fundamentals.

    By shifting tactically across asset classes and regions, JPMorgan Multi Income Fund is able to exploit market dislocations, seeking to deliver a sustainable yield6* in this fast-changing market environment, as illustrated in the chart below. (*The Fund’s mth – USD share class aims at monthly distribution. Dividend rate is not guaranteed. Distributions maybe paid from capital Refer to important information 3.)
