The Fund’s adviser and/or its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market
fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.18% of the average daily net
assets of Academy Shares. The Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the adviser or its
affiliates (affiliated money market funds). The Fund’s adviser, shareholder servicing agent and/or administrator have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the
affiliated money market funds on the Fund’s investment in such money market funds. These waivers are in
effect through 6/30/23, at which time it will
be determined whether such waivers will be renewed or revised. To the extent that the Fund engages in securities
lending, affiliated money market fund fees and expenses resulting from the Fund’s investment of cash received from securities lending borrowers are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and therefore, the above waivers do not apply to such
investments.
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 6/30/23 and
total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

The Fund’s Main Investment Strategy
Under normal conditions, the Fund invests its assets exclusively in:
•
obligations of the
U.S. Treasury, including Treasury bills, bonds and notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury, and
•
repurchase
agreements fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities.
The debt securities described above carry different interest rates, maturities and issue dates.
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 will generally hold a portion of its assets in cash, primarily to meet redemptions.
The Fund intends to
continue to qualify as a “government money market fund,” as such term is defined in or interpreted
under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company
Act”).“Government money market funds” are required to invest at least 99.5% of their assets
in (i) cash, (ii) securities issued or guaranteed by the
1
United States or certain U.S. government agencies
or instrumentalities and/or (iii) repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully, and are exempt from
requirements that permit money market funds to impose a liquidity fee and/or temporary redemption gates. While
the J.P. Morgan Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may elect to subject the Fund to
liquidity fee and gate requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time. A
government money market fund may also include investments in other government money market funds as an eligible
investment for purposes of the 99.5% requirement above.
The Fund’s adviser seeks to develop an appropriate portfolio by considering the differences in yields among securities
of different maturities and issue dates.
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. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.
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.
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. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Fund’s yield
(and total return) also may be low or the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns or a stable net asset
value of $1.00 per share.
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, 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.
For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected economies, markets and individual companies throughout the
world, including those in which the Fund invests. The effects of this pandemic to public health and business
and market conditions, including, among other things, reduced consumer demand and economic output, supply chain
disruptions and increased government spending may continue to have a significant negative impact on the
performance of the Fund’s investments, increase the Fund’s volatility, exacerbate pre-existing
political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in
response to the pandemic that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such
instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
The duration and extent of COVID-19 and associated economic and market conditions and uncertainty over the
long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which the associated conditions impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to
accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Government Securities Risk. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by 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. 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. U.S. government securities include zero coupon securities, which tend to be subject to greater
market risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.
2
LIBOR Discontinuance or Unavailability Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term
borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct
Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of
the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023,
publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and (iii)
immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be
provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no
longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that
representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that the dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability,
composition or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published, and we
recommend that you consult your advisors to stay informed of any such developments. In addition, certain
regulated entities ceased entering into most new LIBOR contracts in connection with regulatory guidance or
prohibitions. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to implement new or 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 prior to its discontinuance, unavailability or replacement, all of which may affect the
value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a Fund's loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments
or investments comprising some or all of a 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 transition from LIBOR prior to the dates announced by the FCA. 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.
Risk of Regulation of Money Market Funds. The SEC and other regulatory agencies continue to review the regulation of money market funds. As of the date of this Prospectus, the SEC has proposed amendments to the rules that govern money market
funds. These proposed amendments, if implemented, may affect the Fund’s investment strategies,
performance, yield, expenses, operations and continued viability.
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.
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.
Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments 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.
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. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, except when your investment

income tax upon withdrawal from the tax-advantaged investment plan.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, including Academy Securities, the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial
intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest
by influencing the broker-dealer or financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
