At least choosing a retirement fund can be easy.

JPMorgan SmartRetirement® Funds

As a target date fund, SmartRetirement can help prepare you for the approximate year you plan to retire. It provides a single place to invest all the assets you have in your employer’s retirement plan.

Life is full of hard choices. 

Surprisingly, selecting a retirement fund doesn’t have to be one of them.

JPMorgan SmartRetirement is a target date fund with everything you may need to plan for retirement, already built right in.  

So it’s easy to be a smart investor. 

SmartRetirement provides a single place for all your retirement plan money.

And it does the hard work of diversifying your investments, and adjusting your portfolio, to help ensure healthy growth.  

All you need to do is decide when you’ll 

retire – at age 65, for example – in order to pick the right fund for you.     

Let’s say your target retirement date is 2049. You would choose the 2050 target date fund.    

Then we take care of the rest. 

Each of our target date funds is made up of many different investments, covering both stocks and bonds so you’re well-diversified.

Plus, our target date funds will automatically adjust your mix of assets to balance risk and return over time.

Let’s see how this might work. At age 25, your portfolio would include more stocks – to maximize growth while retirement is still far off.

By 45, the balance will have shifted somewhat to reduce risk as your goals begin to change. 

And by 65, more of your money will be in conservative investments like bonds, as you look ahead to retirement. 

After helping you be a smart saver, SmartRetirement can help you be a smart spender once you retire. 

During this spending phase of life, the fund will identify a sample withdrawal amount each year, to help ensure your money lasts.

Of course, you’ll have total flexibility to spend more or less. 

Our calculator will show how this affects future spending to help you stay on track.  

In addition, SmartRetirement will continue to focus on investment gains, helping your money go further. 

From saving to spending, SmartRetirement will be expertly managed by a team of J.P. Morgan investment professionals... using intelligent investment models that incorporate real investor behavior.

You just check in along the way to see how things are progressing.

So make the easy choice for your retirement: A JPMorgan SmartRetirement Target Date Fund.

Investing at 30

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: For a younger investor like Alex, a SmartRetirement 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.

Investing at 45

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: With SmartRetirement, 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: Just like Martina herself, a SmartRetirement 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: Jason likes to know how much he can comfortablyspend. With SmartRetirement, 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 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.
