    J.P. Morgan Asset Management Launches JPMorgan Active Growth ETF (JGRO)

    Unifies two industry-leading growth strategies into one actively managed ETF

    NEW YORK, August 9, 2022: J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM) today announced the launch of

    JPMorgan Active Growth ETF (JGRO), an actively managed style pure growth ETF that seeks to outperform the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The strategy follows a bottom-up approach and aims to identify companies with growth potential that is underappreciated by the market.

    Priced at an expense ratio of 0.44%, JGRO leverages the breadth and depth of the entire J.P. Morgan Growth Platform and leverages two flagship strategies on the platform, JPMorgan Large Cap Growth, a style pure approach which utilizes price momentum, and JPMorgan Growth Advantage, which is anchored in large cap but has flexibility to invest down cap. Blending these two fundamental approaches with unique characteristics results in one ETF solution that seeks opportunities across the growth landscape.

    “As investors look to navigate today’s unique market environment, JGRO provides access to opportunities across J.P. Morgan’s Growth Platform, combined with the benefits of the active ETF structure,” said Bryon Lake, Global Head of ETF Solutions, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. “We are excited to add JGRO to our range of active capabilities, uniting two of the industry’s most experienced growth management teams to deliver a solution aimed at providing long-term capital appreciation while delivering risk-adjusted returns.”

    The fund is managed by by Giri Devulapally, Timothy Parton and Felise Agranoff, all of whom are Managing Directors and Portfolio Managers that bring decades of investment experience and have successfully managed through various market cycles. They are supported by a well-resourced team of dedicated growth research analysts which average 16 years of experience. The entire growth team collectively oversees more than $93b in assets.

    JGRO compliments the firm’s existing style pure offerings, including JPMorgan Active Value ETF (JAVA), an active equity ETF managed by Clare Hart, Scott Blasdell, David Silberman and Andrew Brandon.

    The addition of JGRO brings J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s full U.S. suite of ETFs to 45 products with more than $81 billion in assets under management. J.P. Morgan Asset Management ranks as a top ten ETF issuer in the U.S. with respect to AUM1 and number one in net active flows across active ETFs in the U.S. for 20212. JPMorgan’s Active ETFs were also recently named “ETF Suite of the Year” by With Intelligence3 as part of their annual Mutual Fund Industry and ETF Awards.
