Important Information
JPMorgan Global Bond Fund

1. The Fund invests primarily (at least 80%) in global investment grade debt securities. The Fund will have limited RMB denominated underlying investments.
2. The Fund is exposed to risks related to debt securities (including credit risk, interest rate risk, below investment grade/ unrated investment risk, investment grade bond risk, sovereign debt risk and valuation risk), emerging markets, 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. 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.

12-month forward returns of JPMorgan Global Bond Fund’s benchmark index in the past 20 years

1. Source: J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Bloomberg. Data as of end-March 2023. USD refers to US dollar. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results. Forecasts and estimates are indicative of macro trends, may or may not come to pass. Indices do not include fees or operating expenses and are not available for actual investment.
 

  • Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-Securitized, USD hedged Index (benchmark index of JPMorgan Global Bond Fund) is a global investment grade bond index with around 70% government bonds and 30% corporate debt securities.
  • As illustrated in the chart above, higher Treasury yields are generally associated with a relatively more attractive return profile.
  • We see opportunities in investment grade bonds, especially government bonds. As the end of the hiking cycle looms, investors looking to lock-in relatively high risk-free rates could bolster market demand for government bonds. In addition, we believe government bonds could serve as an anchor in bond portfolios as the credit spreads of corporate bonds generally would widen with further signs of an economic downturn.
  • The JPMorgan Global Bond Fund invests at least 80% in investment grade bonds. As of end-April 2023, the portfolio invested over 60% in government-related debt securities. We prefer government bonds at the moment, compared with investment grade corporate credit, as a buffer against risk-off moves and the possibility of credit spreads widening2. The Fund stays focused on quality bonds for better risk-adjusted return opportunities, alongside dynamic duration and disciplined risk management3.
