  1. Portfolio Pulse: JPMorgan Asia Equity Dividend

Important Information

1.The Fund invests primarily (at least 70%) in equity securities of companies in the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan) that the investment manager expects to pay dividends. The Fund will have limited RMB denominated underlying investments.
2. The Fund is therefore exposed to a range of investment related risks which includes risks related to equity, dividend-paying equity (no guarantee that the companies that the Fund invests in and which have historically paid dividends will continue to pay dividends or to pay dividends at the current rates in the future), emerging markets, concentration, smaller companies, currency, liquidity, high volatility of the equity market in the Asian region, Chinese variable interest entity, hedging, derivatives, class currency, and currency hedged classes. 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.

Value

Sectors that provides diversified sources of return

J.P. Morgan Asset Management

Financials: a number of Asian financials are well capitalised and we believe systemic risk in this space is relatively low. Improving fundamentals, structural growth and underlying value in the sector provide diversified sources of return.

Insurance: insurance penetration particularly in China remains below the developed markets’ average.

Quality-at-reasonable-yield (QARY)

Quality businesses with cost control and pricing power

Chart-5

Semiconductors: digitalisation and the deployment of 5G are driving robust chip demand across smartphone, high-performance computing and the Internet of Things.

Chart-4

Consumption: quality consumer businesses in China with strong branding and pricing power can benefit from China’s recovery.

Defensive

Opportunities emerging from macro adjustments

J.P. Morgan Asset Management

Telecommunications: consolidation is a key theme as companies are pursuing scale to share the cost of rolling out 5G, creating leaders with the advantage of scale.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management

Utilities: with the expectation of recovering demand, a number of select names benefit from automation, electrification and renewable proliferation.
