Within the index, information technology and industrials were the best-performing sectors, returning 31.79% and 14.88%, respectively, while energy and utilities were the worst-performing sectors, returning -13.45% and -0.53%, respectively. Helped The materials and energy sectors added the most value. Hurt The information technology and health care sectors weighed the most on performance. Outlook We continue to focus on fundamentals of the economy and company earnings. Our analysts’ estimates for S&P 500 Index® earnings project 26% for 2026 and 22% for 2027. While subject to revision, this forecast includes our best analysis of earnings expectations. ### Quarter in Review The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income Fund (I Class Shares) underperformed the benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. An overweight position in Intuit, a financial software company best known for TurboTax, QuickBooks and Credit Karma, detracted from performance during the period. The stock underperformed as TurboTax revenue growth disappointed investors, declining roughly 50% year to date (through May 2026) before falling an additional 10%–14% following Q3 earnings, driven by weakness among price-sensitive DIY filers and a 17% workforce reduction announced in May. An underweight position in Intel, a leading semiconductor manufacturer focused on computing, data center, and foundry technologies, detracted from performance during the period. The stock outperformed as server CPU demand accelerated, driving improved pricing power, and preliminary foundry engagements with Apple and Tesla provided optimism that Intel’s manufacturing turnaround is taking shape. An overweight position in Lam Research, a leading provider of wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) and services to the semiconductor industry, contributed to performance during the period. The stock outperformed due to record revenue growth, exceptional gross margin expansion, and raised 2026 guidance, signaling strong execution. Investors remain enthusiastic about industrywide WFE spending and Lam’s opportunity to outgrow the market. The company's strong position in memory - where capacity-add expectations continue to trend meaningfully higher amid a historic supply shortage - along with a strengthening position in foundry/logic are favorable attributes. An underweight position in Northrop Grumman, a leading U.S. defense contractor specializing in aerospace and mission systems, contributed to performance during the period. Overall, the defense cohort underperformed in the second quarter after brief outperformance in the first quarter, where the U.S. government focused on increasing the defense budget to unprecedented levels. Tensions easing in the Middle East, uncertainty around margin expansion trajectory and capital deployment strategy, along with midterm election fears, have brought defense stocks back down to pre-Q1 levels. ### Looking Ahead The U.S. equity market remains constructive amid evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. Continued strength in corporate earnings, coupled with robust AI-related investment, continue to support the outlook for equities. However, narrow market leadership and heightened return dispersion reinforce the case for active stock selection. We remain focused on high conviction stocks and seek to take advantage of market dislocations for compelling stock selection opportunities. ## Documents - [Factsheet: JPMorgan Equity Premium Income Fund (I)](https://am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jpm-am-aem/americas/us/en/literature/fact-sheet/specialty/fs-epi-i.pdf) - [Fund Story: Equity Premium Income Fund](https://am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jpm-am-aem/americas/us/en/literature/fund-story/STO-EPI.pdf) - [Commentary: Equity Premium Income Fund](https://am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jpm-am-aem/americas/us/en/literature/commentary/FC-EPI.PDF) - [Supplemental Data Sheet - Equity Premium Income Fund (Quarterly)](https://am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jpm-am-aem/americas/us/en/supplemental/mfdp/MFDP-EPI-1.PDF) - [Summary Prospectus](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/SP?site=JPMorganv3) - [Prospectus](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/P?site=JPMorganv3) - [Annual Report to Shareholders](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/AR?site=JPMorganv3) - [Annual Financial Statements and Other Information](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/NCSR?site=JPMorganv3) - [Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/SAR?site=JPMorganv3) - [Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/NCSRS?site=JPMorganv3) - [First Quarter Holding](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/QH1?site=JPMorganv3) - [Third Quarter Holding](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/QH3?site=JPMorganv3) - [Statement of Additional Information](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/S?site=JPMorganv3) - [Annual Report Of Proxy Voting](https://am.jpmorgan.com/JPMorgan/TVT/46645V675/NPX?site=JPMorganv3) ## Disclosures 1.
