The flexibility to thrive in any rate environment
Important information
- The Fund invests primarily in debt securities.
- The Fund is therefore exposed to risks related to emerging markets, debt securities (including below investment grade/unrated investment, investment grade bond, credit, sovereign debt, interest rate, valuation and asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) risks), concentration, convertible securities, currency, derivative, hedging, distribution (no assurance on distribution or the frequency of distribution or distribution rate or dividend yield), class currency and currency hedged share 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. Investments in ABS and MBS 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. These securities may be highly illiquid and prone to substantial price volatility. Investment in RMB hedged share class is subject to risks associated with the RMB currency and currency hedged share 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.
10 years of income and returns
Since its inception about a decade ago, the JPMorgan Income Fund has sought to provide investors with a consistent income stream1, by investing opportunistically across a wide range of bond sectors while actively managing credit and interest rate risks2.
Through the years, the Fund has grown to become one of the largest fixed income strategies within the Morningstar USD flexible bond fund category3 and has also achieved robust returns by harnessing a broad-based, globally unconstrained and flexible approach to bond investing.
Let’s look at what the Fund has achieved over the last 10 years.
