C000129578 Investment Objective and Strategy

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by JPMorgan Trust I.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks to provide total return.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund invests primarily in corporate debt investments that the Funds adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser) believes have the potential to provide total return from countries whose economies or bond markets are less developed (emerging markets). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its Assets in Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments. Assets means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments are debt instruments issued by corporate or other business organizations located in or tied economically to an emerging market. Emerging markets currently include most countries in the world except Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the U.S., the United Kingdom and most western European countries.

An investment will be deemed to be tied economically to emerging markets if: (1) the issuer is organized under the laws of, or has a principal place of business in an emerging market; or (2) the principal listing of the issuers securities is in a market that is in an emerging market; or (3) the issuer derives at least 50% of its total revenues or profits from goods that are produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in an emerging market; or (4) the issuer has at least 50% of its assets located in an emerging market. As part of its main investment strategies, the Fund invests in Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments structured as corporate bonds and debt securities, loan assignments and participations (Loans), commitments to purchase loan assignments (Unfunded Commitments), private placements, restricted securities, and variable and floating rate instruments.

The Fund invests mainly in U.S. dollar denominated Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments but may, to a lesser extent, invest in non-dollar denominated investments. In addition to its investments in Emerging Markets Corporate Debt Investments, the Fund may invest in sovereign debt securities, obligations of supranational agencies and foreign municipal securities. Sovereign debt securities are securities that are issued or guaranteed by foreign sovereign governments or their agencies, authorities or political subdivisions or instrumentalities. The Funds investments may be of any maturity. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest no more than 65% of its total assets in securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds) or the unrated equivalent. Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest.

The Fund may use futures contracts, options, swaps, and forwards including non-deliverable forwards. The Fund may also use such derivatives to seek to increase income or gain to the Fund and as part of the risk management process. Generally, the Fund uses futures including treasury futures and credit default swaps for hedging and to manage duration. In addition, the Fund uses foreign currency derivatives including forward foreign currency contracts to establish or adjust the Funds currency exposure and to manage currency risk. The Fund may use derivatives to hedge non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar but may not always do so. In deciding to buy and sell securities and investments for the Fund, the adviser combines top down macro-economic research with bottom up fundamental credit and country analysis.

The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments based on quantitative assessment of an issuers cash flows, debt structure, debt ratios and profitability and a qualitative assessment of how each issuer will perform relative to other issuers in the region. Generally, the adviser will sell a security when, based on fundamental credit analysis and the considerations described above, the adviser believes that there is better relative value available in the market in securities of comparable quality or when the adviser believes the issuers credit quality will deteriorate materially. For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Funds total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund may use cash and cash equivalents including affiliated money market funds, and U.S.

government securities to manage cash flows and to satisfy asset coverage requirements for its derivative positions.
