Alex’s story: Aiming to maximize growth

Situation: While still in the early stages of his career Alex has $20,000 to invest. He understands the benefits of investing now. But with retirement so far off, it’s not his main focus. Alex is:

• Looking for an investment that he can “set and forget”

• Comfortable taking some risks in pursuit of growth

Why SmartRetirement Passive Blend: For a younger investor like Alex, a SmartRetirement Passive Blend portfolio will initially be weighted toward stocks aiming to maximize growth. With a team of investment professionals managing the fund, Alex can feel confident he’s on the right track without being hands-on.

Courtney’s story: Balancing risk and return

Situation: Courtney works full-time. Plus she has three kids. Needless to say, she doesn’t have much time to think about large cap vs. small cap vs. value to invest her $100,000. So, once a year, she looks at her fund choices and takes her best guess. Courtney is:

• Overwhelmed by her investment options

• Looking for an investment that aims for growth without too much risk 

Why SmartRetirement Passive Blend: With SmartRetirement Passive Blend, everything is planned out for Courtney. Year after year, her investment allocations will be adjusted based on her target retirement date. Being mid-career, Courtney would have a portfolio with a mix of stocks and bonds that balances risk and return.

Martina’s story: Preserving assets

Situation: With about five years to go until retirement, and $225,000 in assets to invest, Martina doesn’t want to take too many chances with her retirement plan savings, especially in today’s unpredictable economy. Her goal right now is to be smart and responsible with her money. Martina is:

• Concerned about market volatility and global unrest

• Savvy about her personal finances and focused on her future

Why SmartRetirement Passive Blend: Just like Martina herself, a SmartRetirement Passive Blend Fund will be focused on her target retirement date. As she gets closer to it, her investment allocations will gradually become more and more conservative to avoid unnecessary risk.

Jason’s story: Not just investing with confidence, spending with confidence

Situation: Jason and his wife are enjoying retirement, with $300,000 invested, but they’re still mindful of their spending. After all, their money may have to last another 30 years. Right now, they’re considering a 50th anniversary vacation with the kids and grandkids. Jason is:

• Worried a big trip will take too much out of their savings

• Uncertain what the impact will be on their yearly spending

Why SmartRetirement Passive Blend: Jason likes to know how much he can comfortablyspend. With SmartRetirement Passive Blend, all he has to do is check his sample withdrawal amount each year. Even better, he can use our online calculator to see how a big expense (like a trip) will affect his future spending ability, so he can adjust his plans accordingly.

The Commingled Pension trust Fund (JPMCB SmartRetirement Passive Blend) of JPMorgan Chase bank N.A. is a collective trust fund established and maintained by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. under a declaration of trust. The fund is not required to file a prospectus or registration statement with the SEC, and accordingly, neither is available, but a copy of the Fund Summary is available from your employer. The fund is available only to certain qualified retirement and government plans and is not offered to the general public. Units of the fund are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed by any bank, government entity, the FDIC or any other type of deposit insurance.

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.

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.
