The Fund’s Main Investment Strategy
The Fund invests in high quality, short-term money market instruments which are issued and payable in U.S. dollars. The Fund principally invests in:
●
high quality commercial paper and other short-term debt securities, including floating and variable rate demand notes of U.S. and foreign corporations,
●
debt securities issued or guaranteed by qualified U.S. and foreign banks, including certificates of deposit, time deposits and other short-term securities,
●
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities or Government-Sponsored Enterprises ("GSEs"),
●
asset-backed securities,
●
repurchase agreements, and
●
taxable municipal obligations.
The Fund is a money market
fund managed in the following manner:
●
The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value (“NAV”) of $1.00 per share.
●
The dollar-weighted average maturity of the Fund will be 60 days or less and the dollar-weighted average life to maturity will be 120 days or less.
●
The
Fund will only buy securities that have remaining maturities of 397 days or less or securities otherwise permitted to be purchased because of maturity shortening provisions under applicable regulation.
●
The
Fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities.
●
The Fund seeks to invest in securities that present minimal credit risk.
The Fund may invest significantly in securities with floating or variable rates of interest. Their yields will
vary as interest rates change. The securities in which the Fund may invest include privately
placed securities. The Fund will generally hold a portion of its assets in cash, primarily to meet redemptions.
The Fund will concentrate its investments in the financial services industry, including asset-backed commercial paper programs. Therefore, under normal conditions, the
Fund will invest at least 25% of its total assets in securities issued by companies in the
financial services industry, which includes banks, broker-dealers, finance companies and other issuers of asset-backed securities. The Fund may, however, invest less than 25% of its total assets in this industry if warranted due to adverse economic conditions or if investing less
than 25% appears to be in the best interest of shareholders.
The Fund may enter into lending agreements under which the Fund would lend
money for temporary purposes directly to another J.P. Morgan Fund through a credit facility, subject to meeting the conditions of an SEC exemptive order granted to the Fund permitting such interfund
lending.
1
The Fund may trade
securities on a when-issued, delayed settlement or forward commitment basis. The Fund’s adviser seeks to develop an appropriate portfolio by considering the differences in yields among securities of different
maturities, market sectors and issuers.
Applicable Money Market Fund Regulations
Under the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules that govern the operation of registered
money market funds (“MMFs”), MMFs that qualify as “retail” (“Retail MMFs”) or “government” (“Government MMFs”) are permitted to utilize amortized cost to value
their portfolio securities and to transact at their existing $1.00 share price. MMFs that do not qualify as Retail MMFs or Government MMFs (collectively, “Institutional MMFs”) are required to price and
transact in their shares at NAV reflecting current market-based values of their portfolio
securities (i.e., at a “floating NAV”). The Fund intends to qualify
as a Retail MMF.
Liquidity Fees
The Fund’s policies and procedures permit the Fund to impose a discretionary liquidity fee on redemptions of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed if the adviser, as
the delegate of the Board, determines it is in the best interests of the Fund.
Further Developments
The Fund may redeem investors that do not satisfy the eligibility requirements for Retail MMF investors. The Fund will provide advance written notification of its intent to
make any such involuntary redemptions to the applicable shareholders, which will include more
specific information about timing. Neither the Fund nor the adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
The Fund’s Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and the Fund may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular instruments or interest rates
are not met.
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the
Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it
will do so. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares. An investment in the Fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor is not required to reimburse the Fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at
any time, including during periods of market stress.
The Fund is subject to the main risks noted below, any of which may
adversely affect the Fund’s performance and ability to meet its investment objective.
Interest Rate
Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based
on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally
declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are
subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments,
the value of floating rate and variable securities may decline if their interest rates do not
rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or
monetary authorities may change interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such
changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments.
Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Prices of the
Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is
invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit
spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead
to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of
similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact
markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may
underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial
market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for
inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for
particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and
downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other
governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the
value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or
pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are subject to certain other risks, including prepayment and call risks. During periods of difficult or frozen credit
markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions,
mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties,
become more volatile and/or become illiquid. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and
when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected
capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising
or declining interest rates, the Fund may
2
be subject to extension risk, and may
receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund
may exhibit additional volatility. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the
servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities
may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities.
Government Securities Risk. U.S. Government securities include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as
securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal
National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) or other Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs)). U.S. Government securities are subject to market risk,
interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae
or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will
fluctuate. The income generated by investments may not keep pace with inflation. Actions by
governments and central banking authorities could result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, which may adversely affect the Fund and its
investments. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government-related organizations,
such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support.
Therefore, U.S. Government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment
obligations in the future. U.S. Government securities include zero coupon securities, which tend
to be subject to greater market risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.
Municipal Obligations and Securities Risk. Because the Fund may invest in municipal obligations, including municipal securities, the Fund may be susceptible to political, legislative, economic, regulatory, tax or other factors affecting
issuers of these municipal obligations, such as state and local governments and their agencies.
The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and
principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or hurt the ability to
preserve capital and liquidity. Under some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay
interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose.
The amount of public information available about municipal obligations is generally less than for corporate
equities or bonds, meaning that the investment performance of municipal obligations may be more
dependent on the analytical abilities of the investment adviser than stock or corporate bond investments. The secondary market for municipal obligations also tends to be less well-developed and less liquid than many
other securities markets, which may limit the Fund’s ability to sell its
municipal obligations at attractive prices.
The differences between the price at which an obligation can be purchased and the price at which
it can be sold may widen during periods of market distress. Less liquid obligations can become more difficult to value and be subject to erratic price movements. In addition, changes in U.S. federal tax laws or the
activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations. Loss
of tax-exempt status may result in a significant decline in the values of such municipal obligations.
Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. In addition, since some municipal
obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to the Fund
could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating
organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on
the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of the Fund’s
investments.
In addition to being downgraded, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. The reorganization of a
municipality’s debts may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the
securities issued by the municipality and the value of the Fund’s investments. Interest on municipal obligations, while generally exempt from federal income tax, may not be exempt from federal alternative minimum tax.
When-Issued, Delayed Settlement and Forward Commitment
Transactions Risk. The Fund may purchase or sell securities which it is eligible to purchase or sell on a when-issued basis, may purchase and sell such securities for
delayed delivery and may make contracts to purchase or sell such securities for a fixed price at
a future date beyond normal settlement time (forward commitments). When-issued transactions, delayed delivery purchases and forward commitments involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value
prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the
other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund loses both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security’s
price.
Transactions Risk. The Fund could experience a loss and its liquidity may be negatively impacted when selling securities to
meet redemption requests. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually
large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices. Similarly,
large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent
that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.
Concentration Risk. Because the Fund will, under ordinary circumstances, invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies in the financial services
industry, developments affecting the financial services industry may have a disproportionate
impact on the Fund. These risks generally include interest rate risk, credit risk and risk associated with regulatory changes in the financial services industry. In addition, financial services companies are highly
dependent on the supply of short-term financing.
3
Foreign Securities
Risk. Because the Fund may invest in foreign securities, it is subject to special risks in
addition to those applicable to U.S. investments. These risks include political and economic
risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed
settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and
disclosure standards of foreign markets. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. In certain markets where
securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund
may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery
when due or default completely. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets
may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were
perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.
Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to
fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations,
availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other
industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its
investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk. Floating and variable rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually,
or may be based on an event, such as a change in the prime rate. Floating and variable rate
securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose
value.
Net Asset Value Risk. There is no assurance that the Fund will meet its investment objective of maintaining a net asset value of
$1.00 per share on a continuous basis. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the
Fund’s affiliates will purchase distressed assets from the Fund, make capital infusions, enter into capital support agreements or take other actions to ensure that the Fund maintains a net asset value of
$1.00 per share. In the event any money market fund fails to maintain a stable net asset value,
other money market funds, including the Fund, could face a universal risk of increased redemption pressures, potentially jeopardizing the stability of their net asset values. In general, certain other money market funds
have in the past failed to maintain stable net asset values and there can be no assurance that
such failures and resulting redemption pressures will not occur in the future.
Repurchase Agreement
Risk. There is a risk that the counterparty to a repurchase agreement will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation and the value of your investment could decline as a
result.
Risk Associated with the Fund Holding Cash.
The Fund will generally hold a portion of its assets in cash, primarily to meet redemptions. Cash positions may hurt performance and may subject the Fund to additional risks and costs, such
as increased exposure to the custodian bank holding the assets and any fees imposed for large
cash balances.
LIBOR Discontinuance and
Unavailability Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading
floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments and investments.
As a result of benchmark reforms, publication of most LIBOR settings has ceased. Some LIBOR
settings continue to be published but only on a temporary, synthetic and non-representative
basis. Regulated entities have generally ceased entering into new LIBOR contracts in connection
with regulatory guidance or prohibitions. Public and private sector actors have worked to establish alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. There is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be
similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the
same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of the Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of the Fund's
investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for
positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. Certain of the Fund's investments may have transitioned from LIBOR or will transition from LIBOR in the future. The transition from LIBOR to alternative
reference rates may result in operational issues for the Fund or its investments. No assurances
can be given as to the impact of the LIBOR transition (and the timing of any such impact) on the Fund and its investments.
Interfund Lending Risk. A delay in repayment to the Fund from a borrowing fund could result in lost opportunity costs. Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the
borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due. In the case of a default by a
borrowing fund and to the extent that the loan is collateralized, the Fund could take possession
of collateral that the Fund is not permitted to hold and, therefore, would be required to dispose
of such collateral as soon as possible, which could result in a loss to the Fund.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the
rate at which prepayments or redemptions occur can affect the return on investment of these
securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to
reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts
(i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.
Privately Placed Securities Risk. Privately placed securities generally are less liquid than publicly traded securities and the Fund may not always be able to sell such securities without experiencing delays in finding buyers or reducing
the sale price for such securities. The disposition of some of the securities held by the Fund
may be restricted under federal securities laws. As a result, the Fund may not be able to dispose of such
4
investments at a time when, or at a price
at which, it desires to do so and may have to bear expenses of registering these securities, if
necessary. These securities may also be difficult to value.
