JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Blend 2020
For individuals born between 1954 and 1958

Your SmartRetirement® Blend fund is ready for all the years ahead, including the years after you retire.

When you select a SmartRetirement Blend Fund, you're automatically invested in more than 20 underlying funds across two asset classes - stocks and bonds. By investing in the fund, a team of more than 100 investment professionals at J.P. Morgan* is responsible for shifting the allocation from stocks to bonds as the fund approaches its target date. This way your fund automatically changes to become more conservative as you approach your target retirement date.

Keep in mind, SmartRetirement Blend can meet your needs after you retire, too, with features that help you spend confidently so your money lasts.

[MUSIC PLAYING] My name's Elizabeth Swartwood. I am invested in my 401(k) at my work. I have nine children, and we raised them, and then I went to work to help pay to raise them. So I worked at night part time. My husband always came home-- he was a structural engineer-- always came home promptly at 5 o'clock, and I left a little bit early, had dinner on the table, and worked at night for many years [INAUDIBLE] and I think in 1961 is when I started.

And I've worked ever since. My husband talked me into quitting. Why don't know I quit? And he said, the kids are gone. Enjoy some time off. Quit working. So I did for a year, and I got bored, went back to work. No, I wasn't able to. Because I had so many children, we were paying from paycheck to paycheck. I remember we had $500 money saved, and we were just blessing ourselves and patting ourselves on the back, and the car went bad and we had to get a new car.

All of my children, of course, are grown, and are marvelous savers. We must have instilled something at home because they all have savings accounts that are listed with investing companies. They're all on their 401(k) or whatever their companies have. I do you have grandchildren and great grandchildren, and I have two new great grandsons that'll will be year old next month.

And I've started what I've started doing with them, and I've told their parents, I'm giving them money for their birthday. Any occasion-- Valentine's Day, whatever-- I'm giving them money for them to put it in an account so that that boy will be-- have some money when he's grown. I'm sure I won't be around when he's grown, but she's promised me she's going to tell him about me.

I would advise them to start putting something-- a few dollars, anything-- every pay day to put it in, because they're not going to miss it, and it will amount to a lot of money later on in their life. If they can just leave it and let it grow, it's going to be fabulous for them when they need it later on.

It’s important my money lasts

For Melia, there’s a fear factor to spending in retirement. So she likes the fund’s estimate of how much to spend.

[MUSIC PLAYING] I chose my fund based on my lifestyle. I have a really, really busy lifestyle. So I wanted a fund that would give me the necessary amount of risk and growth. So I didn't want to have to proactively manage those funds and make sure that I had the right mix, because that would sort of make me a little nervous to have to do that on a constant basis. So I love that there is a fund that does that for me.

I know that a target date fund is a fund that is a specified mix of income and growth. So if I am 25 years old, then I would probably have a more aggressive mix. And that mix would change over time, as I grow older.

I think they do research, and they look at statistics, and they look at what's out there in the marketplace. And then they determine the best companies to invest in and the best markets to invest in for the various types of target date funds that are out there. I think they probably love what they do. And they want to see the fund be successful, and they want to see people who invest in the fund be successful as well.

I would say, just think about that there is a professional that's doing this for you that really understands the mix behind these funds. And just think about all the research that you would have to do if you select these funds individually for yourself.

See how it works

You’ve been saving for retirement for a long time. 

 

 

That was smart.

 

 

Now it’s time to be a smart spender, too, so you manage your money wisely in the years after you retire.

 

 

Your JPMorgan SmartRetirement fund has some important features to help.  

 

 

For starters, SmartRetirement is designed to keep generating investment returns in retirement, just as it did during your working years. 

 

 

That can give you more spending power, so you don’t deny yourself the things that make retirement fun. 

 

 

Even better, your SmartRetirement fund gives you information to help you spend confidently in retirement… so you feel better about the decisions you make.

 

 

Let’s say you’re 65 and looking at your sources of retirement income. 

 

 

The first thing you may want to do is keep your assets invested in JPMorgan SmartRetirement. 

 

 

It’s designed to help you spend gradually, so your money can last through retirement, even to age 100.

 

 

Next, check in each year to see how much to spend to keep your retirement on track. 

 

 

This amount is based on our research and market conditions.

 

 

And, finally, enjoy your retirement more knowing you can gradually spend your money over time with less worry. 

 

 

Looking at this in more detail...if you have $100,000 invested in SmartRetirement, the fund will identify a sample amount to withdraw for each year of your retirement. 

 

 

Starting with $5,000 at age 65, for example.

 

 

This amount will change yearly. So when you check in at age 75, it might be $7,000.  

 

 

But what if you want to spend a little more (or a lot more) one year – say, for a special trip with the grandkids?

 

 

Our digital SmartRetirement calculator will help you evaluate the impact on your future ability to spend, so you can make the smartest decision for you.

 

 

All of your fund’s spending features turn on automatically as you near your target date.  

 

 

So stay on track in the years ahead with JPMorgan SmartRetirement. It could be your smartest move yet.

Morgan Asset Management, its affiliates or representatives for any specific investment strategy or specific course of action—or any action at all. Materials like this are part of product marketing efforts and are not impartial. Any examples are just hypothetical illustrations provided to help explain a point. Before you make any investment decisions, contact the professionals, such as your tax advisor, who know your personal financial situation best.

The JPMorgan SmartRetirement Funds are target date funds with the target date being the approximate date when investors plan to retire. Generally, the asset allocation of each Fund will change on an annual basis with the asset allocation becoming more conservative as the Fund nears the target retirement date. The principal value of the Fund(s) is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST – Refer to the Conflicts of Interest section of the Fund’s prospectus

Certain underlying funds of the SmartRetirement Funds may have unique risks associated with investments in foreign/ emerging markets securities and/or fixed income instruments. International investing involves increased risk and volatility due to currency exchange rate changes; political, social or economic instability; and accounting or other financial standard differences.

The strategic asset allocation depicts the funds targeted weights. Actual allocations may differ. We may adjust this amount based on J.P. Morgan’s internal research and market conditions.

Asset allocation strategy for Target Date Funds is designed with two main goals in mind: promoting asset accumulation prior to retirement, which is the Fund’s “Savings Phase,” and supporting investors withdrawing their investment in the Fund throughout retirement, which is the Fund’s “Spending Phase.” Therefore, the asset allocation strategy will change over time, generally becoming more conservative as it approaches the target retirement year and then remaining relatively stable afterwards. The asset allocation strategy during the Savings Phase will generally start with a greater emphasis on global equity investments and gradually shift to more emphasis on global fixed income investments. During the Spending Phase, the Fund will generally have a greater emphasis on global fixed income investments. The Spending Phase of the Fund is designed for investors in retirement who intend to spend down their holdings in the Fund. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide sufficient retirement income, the sample withdrawal amount for any given year may be zero in order to preserve capital and you may lose money invested in the Fund.

Annual Sample Withdrawal Amount is a generic hypothetical example produced annually by the Fund’s advisor and seeks to estimate a percentage of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund(s) as of the beginning of the year that theoretically could be redeemed by a shareholder during that year while still allowing for redemptions in future years through the maturity date. This amount is as of a specific calculation date that does not consider, nor is it based upon, an investor’s specific circumstances.

Because it is assumed that investors will be withdrawing a portion of their investment in the Fund each year during the Spending Phase, the Fund’s assets are expected to decline over time and approach zero in the target maturity year. The Sample Withdrawal Amount will be made available in January each year on the Fund’s website.

(1) Morningstar, US Fund Target Date categories. Medalist rating as of 10/03/22; applies to the SmartRetirement and SmartRetirement Blend R6 mutual funds. The Morningstar Medalist RatingTM is a summary expression of Morningstar’s forwardlooking analysis of investment strategies using a rating scale of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral and Negative. Medalist Ratings indicate which investments Morningstar believes are likely to outperform a relevant index or peer group average on a risk-adjusted basis over time. Products are evaluated on three key pillars (People, Parent, and Process) which, when coupled with fees, forms the basis for Morningstar’s conviction in those products’ investment merits and determines the Medalist Rating assigned. Products are sorted by expected performance into rating groups defined by their Morningstar Category and their active or passive status. Analyst-covered products are assigned the three pillar ratings based on the analyst’s qualitative assessment, subject to the Analyst Rating Committee’s oversight, monitored and reevaluated at least every 14 months. Ratings are assigned monthly for vehicles covered either indirectly by analysts or by algorithm.
