This contract cannot be terminated prior to 3/1/15, at which time the Service Providers will determine whether or not to renew or revise it.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 2/28/15 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

 

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE:
 
      1 Year     3 Years     5 Years     10 Years  
CLASS R5 SHARES ($)     97        358        640        1,443   

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 41% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its Assets in equity securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs), including REITs with relatively small market capitalizations, and other real estate companies. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund will invest primarily in foreign companies of various sizes, including foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies. The Fund’s assets may be invested in issuers in emerging markets.

A real estate company is a company that derives at least 50% of its revenues from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial, or residential real estate (or that has at least 50% of its assets invested in such real estate). Real estate companies include REITs. A REIT is a pooled investment vehicle that generally invests in income-producing real estate or real estate-related loans or interests. REITs are classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs, or hybrid REITs. Equity REITs, which invest the majority of their assets directly in real property, derive their income primarily from rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs, which invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages, derive their income primarily from interest payments. Hybrid REITs combine the characteristics of both equity and mortgage REITs. The Fund does not invest in real estate directly.

The Fund concentrates its investments in the real estate group of industries. This means that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in the real estate group of industries.

Equity securities in which the Fund invests are common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, depositary receipts and rights and warrants to buy common stocks.

The Fund may invest in securities denominated in U.S. dollars, major reserve currencies and currencies of other countries in which it can invest. No more than 20% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in debt securities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar or issued by a foreign government or international organization, such as the World Bank. The Fund may from time to time hedge a portion of its foreign currency exposure into the U.S. dollar.

The Fund may use currency forwards to manage currency exposure of its foreign investments relative to its benchmark.

Investment Process: The Fund’s adviser, JPMorgan Investment Management Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser), manages the Fund utilizing a disciplined investment process that focuses on

superior stock selection rather than sector or theme bets. JPMIM’s portfolio management team continuously screens the target universe of investments, selecting companies that exhibit superior financial strength, operating returns and attractive growth prospects in JPMIM’s opinion.

The Fund’s adviser takes an in-depth look at each company’s ability to generate earnings over a long-term business cycle, rather than focusing solely on near-term expectations. These research efforts allow the portfolio management team to determine the company’s normalized earnings and growth potential, from which they evaluate whether the company’s current price fully reflects its long-term value.

The Fund’s adviser will seek to select securities of issuers from countries other than the United States. The adviser may change its allocation among countries at any time. The Fund will sell securities if the adviser believes the issuer of such securities no longer meets the criteria above, or if the adviser believes that more attractive opportunities are available.

The Fund is non-diversified.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.

 

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, the value of your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

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.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

Industry Focus Risk. The Fund concentrates its investments in the real estate group of industries. This concentration increases the risk of loss to the Fund by increasing its exposure to economic, business, political or regulatory developments that may be adverse to the real estate group of industries.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Market Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. 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 and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments 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. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets”.

Smaller Cap Company Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier, more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including foreign currency exchange contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would be if it had

not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results among those issuing the securities.

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. 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.

 

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

You could lose money investing in the Fund.
