What is the goal of the Fund?The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciationfrom a broadly diversified portfolio of U.S. stocks whileneutralizing the general risks associated with stockmarket investing.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?The Fund takes long and short positions in different securi-ties, selecting from a universe of mid- to large-capitalizationstocks with characteristics similar to those of the Russell1000 and/or Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) Indexes, inan effort to insulate the Fund’s performance from the effectsof general stock market movements.

In rising markets, the Fund expects that the long posi-tions will appreciate more rapidly than the short positions,and in declining markets that the short positions willdecline faster than the long positions. The Fund expectsthat this difference in rates of appreciation, along with anyreturns on cash generated by short sales, will generate apositive return; the Fund pursues returns exceeding thoseof 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills.

The Fund purchases securities that it believes are under-valued and sells short securities that it believes are over-valued. The long and short positions are matched on avariety of risk characteristics in order to limit exposure tomacroeconomic factors.

In each sector in which the Fund invests, it balances thedollars invested in long and short positions to remainsector neutral. In attempting to neutralize market andsector risks, the Fund emphasizes stock selection as theprimary means of generating returns.

The Fund may invest in shares of exchange-traded funds(ETFs), affiliated money market funds and other invest-ment companies. An ETF is a registered investment com-pany that seeks to track the performance of a particularmarket index. These indexes include not only broad-market indexes but more specific indexes as well, includ-ing those relating to particular sectors, markets, regionsor industries.

Derivatives, which are investments that have a valuebased on another investment, exchange rate or index,may also be used as substitutes for securities in whichthe Fund can invest. The Fund may use futures con-tracts, options, swaps and other derivatives as tools inthe management of portfolio assets. The Fund mayuse derivatives to hedge various investments and forrisk management.

The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts(REITs), which are pooled investment vehicles that invest

primarily in income-producing real estate or loans relatedto real estate.

For cash management or temporary defensive purposes,the Fund may invest any portion of its total assets in affili-ated money market funds, high-quality money marketinstruments or repurchase agreements.

The Fund’s Board of Trustees may change any of itsinvestment policies (including its investment objective)without shareholder approval.

The Fund is diversified as defined in the InvestmentCompany Act of 1940.

BEFORE YOU INVEST

Investors considering the Fund shouldunderstand that:• There is no assurance that the Fund will meet its

investment objective.

• The Fund does not represent a complete investmentprogram.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligationsof, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and arenot insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the FederalReserve Board or any other government agency. Youcould lose money if you sell when the Fund’s shareprice is lower than when you invested.

Investment ProcessIn managing the Fund, J.P. Morgan Investment Manage-ment Inc. (JPMIM or the adviser), employs a three-step pro-cess that combines research, valuation and stock selection.

The adviser takes an in-depth look at company prospectsover a relatively long period — often as much as fiveyears — rather than focusing on near-term expectations.This approach is designed to provide insight into a com-pany’s real growth potential.

The research findings allow the adviser to rank the com-panies according to their relative value. The greater acompany’s estimated worth compared to the currentmarket price of its stock, the more undervalued thecompany. The valuation rankings are produced with thehelp of a variety of models that quantify the researchteam’s findings.

The Fund buys and sells securities according to its ownpolicies, using the research and valuation rankings as a

JPMorgan Market Neutral Fund

basis. In general, the team selects securities that areidentified as undervalued and considers selling themwhen they appear overvalued. Along with attractive valua-tion, the team often considers a number of other criteria:

• catalysts that could trigger a rise in a stock’s price

• impact on the overall risk of the portfolio relative tothe benchmark

• temporary mispricings caused by market overreactions

The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securi-ties will vary from year to year, depending on marketconditions.

The Fund’s Main Investment RisksAll mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk. You maylose money on your investment in the Fund. Here aresome specific risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund issubject to management risk because it is an activelymanaged fund. The Fund may not achieve its objective ifthe adviser’s expectations regarding particular securitiesor markets are not met.

Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fallbecause of changes in the broad market or changes in acompany’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly orunpredictably. These price movements may result fromfactors affecting individual companies, sectors or indus-tries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securitiesmarket as a whole, such as changes in economic orpolitical conditions. Equity securities are subject to “stockmarket risk” meaning that stock prices in general (or inparticular, the types of securities in which the Fundinvests) may decline over short or extended periods oftime. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down,your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

Short Selling Risk. While the Fund’s market neutralapproach seeks to minimize the risks of investing in theoverall stock market, it may involve more risk than otherfunds that do not engage in short selling. The Fund’s useof short sales in combination with long positions in theFund’s portfolio in an attempt to improve performance orto reduce overall portfolio risk may not be successful andmay result in greater losses or lower positive returns thanif the Fund held only long positions. It is possible that theFund’s long equity positions will decline in value at thesame time that the value of its short equity positionsincrease, thereby increasing potential losses to the Fund.

The Fund must borrow those securities to make delivery tothe buyer. The Fund may not always be able to borrow asecurity it wants to sell short. The Fund also may be unableto close out an established short position at an acceptable

price, and may have to sell related long positions atdisadvantageous times. The Fund’s loss on a short sale ispotentially unlimited because there is no upward limit on theprice a borrowed security could attain.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The techniques and strate-gies contemplated by the Fund are expected to result ina high degree of portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover(e.g., over 100%) may involve correspondingly greaterexpenses to the Fund, including brokerage commissionsor dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on thesale of securities and reinvestments in other securities.Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capitalgains, including short-term capital gains (which are taxedat ordinary income tax rates when distributed to share-holders who are individuals), and may adversely impactthe Fund’s after-tax returns. The trading costs or taxeffects associated with portfolio turnover may adverselyaffect the Fund’s performance.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The value of real estatesecurities in general, and REITs in particular, are subjectto the same risks as direct investments in real estate andwill depend on the value of the underlying properties orthe underlying loans or interests. The value of thesesecurities will rise and fall in response to many factors,including economic conditions, the demand for rentalproperty and interest rates. In particular, the value ofthese securities may decline when interest rates rise andwill also be affected by the real estate market and by themanagement of the underlying properties. REITs may bemore volatile and/or more illiquid than other types ofequity securities.

Derivatives Risk. The Fund may use derivatives in con-nection with its investment strategies. Derivatives may beriskier than other types of investments because they maybe more sensitive to changes in economic or marketconditions than other types of investments and couldresult in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s origi-nal investment. Certain derivatives may give rise to a formof leverage. As a result, the Fund may be more volatilethan if the Fund had not been leveraged because theleverage tends to exaggerate any effect of the increase ordecrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.Derivatives are also subject to the risk that changes inthe value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly withthe underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivativesfor hedging or risk management purposes or to increaseincome or gain may not be successful, resulting in lossesto the Fund, and the cost of hedging may reduce theFund’s returns.

ETF and Investment Company Risk. The Fund may investin shares of other investment companies. Shareholdersbear both their proportionate share of the Fund’sexpenses and similar expenses of the underlying invest-ment company when the Fund invests in shares ofanother investment company. The price movement of aninvestment company that is an ETF may not track theunderlying index and may result in a loss. If the Fundinvests in closed-end investment companies, it may incuradded expenses such as additional management feesand trading costs.

Temporary Defensive Position Risk. To respond tounusual circumstances, the Fund may invest up to 100%of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents for tem-porary defensive purposes. These investments may pre-vent the Fund from meeting its investment objective.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section shows the Fund’s performance record withrespect to the Fund’s shares.* The bar chart shows howthe performance of the Fund’s Class A Shares has variedfrom year to year over the past nine calendar years. Thisprovides some indication of the risks of investing in theFund. The table shows the average annual total returnsfor the past one year, five years and life of the Fund. Itcompares that performance to the Merrill Lynch 3-MonthU.S. Treasury Bill Index, a broad-based securities marketindex, and the Lipper Equity Market-Neutral Funds Aver-age, an average based on the total returns of certainmutual funds within the Fund’s designated category asdetermined by Lipper.

The performance figures in the bar chart do not reflectany deduction for the front-end sales load which isassessed on Class A Shares. If the load were reflected,

the performance figures would have been lower. The per-formance figures in the table for the Class A Sharesreflect the deduction of the maximum front-end salesload and the performance figures in the table for Class BShares reflect the deduction of the applicable contingentdeferred sales load.

Past performance (before and after taxes) is not neces-sarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will per-form in the future.

The calculations assume that all dividends and distribu-tions are reinvested in the Fund. Some of the companiesthat provide services to the Fund have in the past agreednot to collect some expenses and to reimburse others.Without these agreements, the performance figureswould have been lower than those shown.

* Class A Shares were launched on 2/28/02 and the Fund’s performance in the bar chart prior to 1/1/03 is based on the performance of InstitutionalClass Shares of the Fund, which are not offered in this prospectus. During these periods, the actual returns of Class A Shares would have beenlower than shown because Class A Shares have higher expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

After-tax returns are shown only for the Class A Shares and not the other class offered by this prospectus, and after-taxreturns for the other class will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginalincome tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’stax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who holdtheir shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

* The Fund’s performance in the table for the period before Class A and Class B Shares were launched on 2/28/02 is based on the performance ofInstitutional Class Shares of the Fund. During these periods, the actual returns of Class A and Class B Shares would have been lower than shownbecause Class A and Class B Shares have higher expenses than Institutional Class Shares.

** Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares after eight years. Therefore, the performance in the “Life of Fund” column represents acombination of Class A and Class B operating expenses.

1 The Fund commenced operations on 12/31/98.

2 The Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is a one-security index which, at the beginning of every month, selects for inclusion the bill matur-ing closest to, but not beyond, 91 days from that date. That issue is then held for one month, sold and rolled into a new bill. The performance of theindex does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management fees. By contrast, the perfor-mance of the Fund reflects the deduction of the mutual fund expenses, including sales charges if applicable.

3 The performance of the Lipper Equity Market-Neutral Funds Average includes expenses associated with a mutual fund such as investment manage-ment fees. These expenses are not identical to the expenses charged by the Fund.

1 “Other Expenses” have been calculated based on the actual amounts incurred in the most recent fiscal year.

2 “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are based on the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the acquired funds calculated on a daily basis throughthe Fund’s last fiscal year end. This amount reflects the allocation only through the fiscal year ending 10/31/07. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses”will vary with changes in the expenses of the acquired funds as well as allocation of the Fund’s assets, and may be higher or lower than thoseshown above.

3 The Total Annual Operating Expenses included in the fee table do not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets in the Financial High-lights. The Financial Highlights reflect only the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

4 JPMIM, the Administrator and the Distributor have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent total annual operatingexpenses of Class A and Class B Shares (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, dividend expenses relating to short sales, interest, taxes andextraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees’ deferred compensation plan) exceeds 1.50% of the average daily net assets of theClass A Shares and 2.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class B Shares through 2/28/09. Without the dividend expenses relating to short salesand the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, the Total Annual Operating Expenses would have been 2.52% and 3.07% for Class A Shares and Class BShares, respectively, and Net Expenses would have been 1.50% and 2.00% for Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively. In addition, the Fund’sservice providers may voluntarily waive or reimburse certain of their fees, as they may determine, from time to time.

PURCHASING FUND SHARES

Where can I buy shares?You may purchase Fund shares:

• Through your Financial Intermediary. Financial Interme-diaries may include financial advisors, investment advis-ers, brokers, financial planners, banks, insurancecompanies, retirement or 401(k) plan administratorsand others, including various affiliates of JPMorganChase, that have entered into agreements with JPMDSas Distributor and/or shareholder servicing agent.Shares purchased this way will typically be held for youby the Financial Intermediary; or

• Directly from the Fund through JPMDS.

Who can buy shares?Class A and Class B Shares may be purchased by thegeneral public.

When can I buy shares?Purchases may be made on any business day. Thisincludes any day that the Fund is open for business,other than weekends and days on which the New YorkStock Exchange (NYSE) is closed, including the followingholidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Indepen-dence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christ-mas Day.

Only purchase orders accepted by the Fund or a Finan-cial Intermediary before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) willbe effective at that day’s price. JPMorgan Funds Serviceswill accept your order when federal funds, a wire, acheck or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction isreceived together with a completed Account Application.If you purchase shares through a Financial Intermediary,you may be required to complete additional forms or fol-low additional procedures. You should contact yourFinancial Intermediary regarding purchases, exchangesand redemptions. Please see “How do I open anaccount?” for more details.

On occasion, the NYSE will close before 4:00 p.m. ET.When that happens, purchase orders accepted by theFund or a Financial Intermediary after the NYSE closeswill be effective the following business day.

If a Financial Intermediary holds your shares, it is theresponsibility of the Financial Intermediary to send yourpurchase order to the Fund. Your Financial Intermediarymay have an earlier cut-off time for purchase orders.

Share ownership is electronically recorded; therefore, nocertificate will be issued.

The JPMorgan Funds do not authorize market timingand, except for the Funds identified below, use reason-able methods to identify market timers and to preventsuch activity. However, there can be no assurance thatthese methods will prevent market timing or other tradingthat may be deemed abusive. Market timing is an invest-ment strategy using frequent purchases, redemptionsand/or exchanges in an attempt to profit from short-termmarket movements. Market timing may result in dilutionof the value of Fund shares held by long-term sharehold-ers, disrupt portfolio management and increase Fundexpenses for all shareholders. Although market timingmay affect any Fund, these risks may be higher for Fundsthat invest significantly in non-U.S. securities or thinlytraded securities (e.g., certain small cap securities), suchas international, global or emerging market funds or smallcap funds. For example, when a Fund invests in securi-ties trading principally in non-U.S. markets that closeprior to the close of the NYSE, market timers may seekto take advantage of the difference between the prices ofthese securities at the close of their non-U.S. marketsand the value of such securities when the Fund calcu-lates its net asset value. The JPMorgan Funds or the Dis-tributor will prohibit any purchase order (includingexchanges) with respect to one investor, a related groupof investors or their agent(s), where they detect a patternof either purchases and sales of one of the JPMorganFunds, or exchanges between or among the JPMorganFunds, that indicates market timing or trading that theydetermine is abusive.

The JPMorgan Funds’ Board of Trustees has adoptedpolicies and procedures that use a variety of methods toidentify market timers, including reviewing “round trips” inand out of the JPMorgan Funds by investors. A “roundtrip” includes a purchase or exchange into a Fund fol-lowed or preceded by a redemption or exchange out ofthe same Fund. If the Distributor detects that you havecompleted two round trips within 60 days with the sameFund, the Distributor will reject your purchase andexchange orders for a period of at least 90 days. Forsubsequent violations, the Distributor may, in its sole dis-cretion, reject your purchase and exchange orders tem-porarily or permanently. In identifying market timers, theDistributor may also consider activity of accounts that itbelieves to be under common ownership or control.

Market timers may disrupt portfolio management andharm Fund performance. To the extent that the Fund is

unable to identify market timers effectively, long-terminvestors may be adversely affected. Although theJPMorgan Funds use a variety of methods to detectand deter market timing, there is no assurance that theFund’s own operational systems and procedures willidentify and eliminate all market timing strategies. Forexample, certain accounts, which are known as omnibusaccounts, include multiple investors and such accountstypically provide the Fund with a net purchase orredemption order on any given day where purchasers ofFund shares and redeemers of Fund shares are nettedagainst one another and the identity of individual pur-chasers and redeemers are not known by the Fund.While the Fund seeks to monitor for market timing activi-ties in omnibus accounts, the netting effect limits theFund’s ability to locate and eliminate individual markettimers. As a result, the Fund is often dependent uponFinancial Intermediaries who utilize their own policiesand procedures to identify market timers. These policiesand procedures may be different than those utilized bythe Fund.

The Fund has attempted to put safeguards in place toassure that Financial Intermediaries have implementedprocedures designed to deter market timing and abusivetrading. Despite these safeguards, there is no assurancethat the Fund will be able to effectively identify and elimi-nate market timing and abusive trading in the Fund par-ticularly with respect to omnibus accounts.

The JPMorgan Funds will seek to apply the Fund’s mar-ket timing policies and restrictions as uniformly as practi-cable to accounts with the Fund, except with respect tothe following:

1. Trades that occur through omnibus accounts at Finan-cial Intermediaries as described above,

2. Purchases, redemptions and exchanges made on asystematic basis,

3. Automatic reinvestments of dividends anddistributions,

4. Purchases, redemptions or exchanges that are part ofa rebalancing program, such as a wrap program, or

5. Bona fide asset allocation programs.

Please see the Statement of Additional Information for afurther description of these arrangements.

Certain of the JPMorgan Funds are intended for short-term investment horizons and do not monitor for markettimers or prohibit such short-term trading activity. Those

funds are the JPMorgan Enhanced Income Fund,JPMorgan Short Duration Bond Fund, JPMorgan ShortTerm Bond Fund, JPMorgan Short Term Bond Fund II,JPMorgan Short Term Municipal Bond Fund, JPMorganTax Aware Enhanced Income Fund, JPMorgan Tax AwareShort-Intermediate Income Fund, JPMorgan Treasury &Agency Fund, JPMorgan Ultra Short Duration Bond Fundand the JPMorgan money market funds. Although thesefunds are managed in a manner that is consistent withtheir investment objectives, frequent trading by share-holders may disrupt their management and increasetheir expenses.

In addition to rejecting purchase orders in connectionwith suspected market timing activities, the Distributorcan reject a purchase order (including purchase ordersfor the funds listed above) for any reason, including pur-chase orders that it does not think are in the best inter-ests of a Fund and/or its shareholders or if it determinesthe trading to be abusive. Your Financial Intermediarymay also have additional procedures for identifying mar-ket timers and rejecting or otherwise restricting purchaseorders and/or exchanges.

What kind of shares can I buy?This prospectus offers Class A and Class B Shares, eachof which are available to the general public.

Each share class has different sales charges andexpenses. When deciding what class of shares to buy,you should consider the amount of your investment, thelength of time you intend to hold the shares, the salescharges and expenses applicable to each class of sharesand whether you qualify for any sales charge discounts.Sales charges are discussed in the section of this pro-spectus entitled “Sales Charges.”

Class A SharesYou may pay a sales charge at the time of purchase.

Sales charges are reduced on investments of $50,000or more and the amount of the reduction increasesas your level of investment increases. Please see“Sales Charges.”

You can utilize the Right of Accumulation or a Letter ofIntent to achieve reduced sales charges more quickly.

Generally, there is no contingent deferred sales charge(CDSC) except for purchases of $1 million or more, whichare not subject to an upfront sales charge. Please see“Sales Charges.”

FEBRUARY 29, 2008 11

Page 14: JPMorgan Specialty Funds

Class A Shares have lower annual expenses than Class BShares as a result of lower ongoing Rule 12b-1 fees.

There is no maximum investment amount forClass A Shares.

Class B SharesYou will not pay a sales charge at the time of purchase.However, the Distributor pays a commission of 4.00% ofthe original purchase price to Financial Intermediarieswho sell Class B Shares of the Fund.

A CDSC will apply on shares of the Fund sold within sixyears, measured from the first day of the month in whichthe shares were purchased. The CDSC may be waivedfor certain redemptions.

Class B Shares have higher annual expenses thanClass A Shares as a result of higher ongoingRule 12b-1 fees.

Class B Shares automatically convert to Class A Sharesafter eight years, measured from the first day of themonth in which the shares were purchased.

Class B Shares should not be used for investments ofmore than $99,999 individually or in the aggregate.

Individual purchases of $100,000 or more will berejected. Purchases will also be rejected if the Fund hasdetermined that your purchase when aggregated with thevalue of Class B shares of all JPMorgan Funds held byyou in individual accounts with the same tax or otheridentification number would total $100,000 or more.

The Funds may not be able to identify Class B Share pur-chases that exceed $100,000 if you hold yourshares through one or more Financial Intermediaries or inaccounts with different tax or other identification num-bers. If you hold your shares through a Financial Interme-diary, it is the responsibility of the Financial Intermediaryto determine if an initial or additional purchase of Class Bshares is suitable for you. It is your responsibility toinform your Financial Intermediary or the Fund of anyand all accounts that should be linked together forpurposes of determining whether the application ofthe Right of Accumulation or the use of a Letter ofIntent would make Class A Shares a more suitableinvestment than Class B Shares. For a discussion ofthe types of accounts that qualify for the Right of Accu-mulation and the Letter of Intent, please read “SalesCharges — Reducing your Class A Sales Charge.”

Which class of shares is best?Your decision about which class of shares to buydepends on a number of factors, including the number of

shares you are buying and how long you intend to holdyour shares. If you have no plans to sell your shares forat least six years and you would prefer not to pay anupfront sales charge, you may consider buying Class BShares. Class A Shares may be a good choice if youqualify to have the sales charge reduced or eliminated.

You should also consider the Rule 12b-1 fees, which arelower for Class A Shares. These fees appear in the tablecalled Annual Operating Expenses for the Fund.

How much do shares cost?Shares are sold at net asset value (NAV) per share, plus asales charge, if any.

Each class of shares has a different NAV. This is primarilybecause each class has different distribution expenses.

NAV per share is calculated by dividing the total marketvalue of a Fund’s investments and other assets allocableto a class (minus class liabilities) by the number of out-standing shares in that class.

The market value of a Fund’s investments is determinedprimarily on the basis of readily available market quota-tions. Certain short-term securities are valued at amor-tized cost, which approximates market value. If marketquotations are not readily available or if available marketquotations are determined not to be reliable or if a securi-ty’s value has been materially affected by events occur-ring after the close of trading on the exchange or marketon which the security is principally traded (for example, anatural disaster affecting an entire country or region, oran event that affects an individual company), but beforethe Fund’s NAV is calculated, that security may be valuedat its fair value in accordance with policies andprocedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Asecurity’s valuation may differ depending on the methodused for determining value. In addition, the Fund hasimplemented fair value pricing on a daily basis for allequity securities, except for North American, CentralAmerican, South American or Caribbean equity securities,held by the Fund. The fair value pricing utilizes the quota-tions of an independent pricing service unless the adviser,in accordance with valuation procedures adopted by theFund’s Board of Trustees, determines that the marketquotations do not accurately reflect the value of a secu-rity and determines that use of another fair valuationmethodology is appropriate.

The Fund’s NAV may change every day. NAV is calcu-lated each business day following the close of the NYSEat 4:00 p.m. ET. On occasion, the NYSE will close before4:00 p.m. ET. When that happens, NAV will be calculatedas of the time the NYSE closes. The price at which a

purchase is effected is based on the next calculation ofNAV after the order is accepted in accordance with thisprospectus. To the extent the Fund invests in securitiesthat are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that tradeon weekends or other days when the Fund does notprice its shares, the value of the Fund’s shares maychange on days when you will not be able to purchase orredeem your shares.

How do I open an account?Read the prospectus carefully, and select the share classmost appropriate for you and decide how much you wantto invest.

Class A and Class B Shares are subject to a $1,000minimum investment requirement. You are required tomaintain a minimum account balance equal to the mini-mum initial investment in the Fund. Subsequent invest-ments must be at least $25.

Minimums for initial and subsequent investments may bewaived for certain types of retirement accounts (e.g., 401(k),403(b) and SIMPLE IRA) as well as for certain wrap feeaccounts. The Funds reserve the right to waive any initial orsubsequent investment minimum. For further information oninvestment minimum waivers, call 1-800-480-4111.

For accounts sold through Financial Intermediaries, it isthe primary responsibility of the Financial Intermediary toensure compliance with investment minimums.

Reducing Your Class A Sales ChargeThe Fund permits you to reduce the initial sales chargeyou pay on Class A Shares by using the Right of Accu-mulation or a Letter of Intent. Each of these methods forreducing the initial sales charge on Class A Shares isdescribed below. In taking advantage of these methodsfor reducing the initial sales charge you will pay, you maylink purchases of shares of all of the JPMorgan Funds inwhich you invest (as described below) even if suchJPMorgan Funds are held in accounts with differentFinancial Intermediaries, as well as purchases of sharesof all JPMorgan Funds to be held in accounts owned byyour spouse or domestic partner and children under theage of 21 who share your residential address. It is yourresponsibility when investing to inform your FinancialIntermediary or the JPMorgan Funds that you wouldlike to have one or more JPMorgan Funds linkedtogether for purposes of reducing the initialsales charge.

Right of Accumulation: You may qualify for a reduction inthe initial sales charge for future purchases of Class AShares based on the current market value of your Class A,Class B and Class C Share holdings from prior purchasesthrough the Right of Accumulation. To calculate the salescharge applicable to your net purchase of Class A Shares,you may aggregate your investment with the current marketvalue of any Class A, Class B or Class C Shares of aJPMorgan Fund held in:

1. Your account(s);

2. Account(s) of your spouse or domestic partner;

3. Account(s) of children under the age of 21 who shareyour residential address;

4. Trust accounts established by any of the individuals initems (1) through (3) above. If the person(s) whoestablished the trust is deceased, the trust accountmay be aggregated with the account(s) of the primarybeneficiary of the trust;

5. Solely controlled business accounts; and

6. Single-participant retirement plans of any of the indi-viduals in items (1) through (3) above.

In order to obtain any breakpoint reduction in theinitial sales charge, you must, before purchasingClass A Shares, inform your Financial Intermediary orthe JPMorgan Funds if you have any of the abovetypes of accounts that can be aggregated with yourcurrent investment in Class A Shares to reduce theapplicable sales charge. In order to verify your eligibility

for a reduced sales charge, you may be required to pro-vide appropriate documentation, such as an accountstatement or the social security or tax identification num-ber on an account, so that the JPMorgan Funds mayverify (1) the number of shares of the JPMorgan Fundsheld in your account(s) with the JPMorgan Funds, (2) thenumber of shares of the JPMorgan Funds held in youraccount(s) with a Financial Intermediary, and (3) the num-ber of shares of the JPMorgan Funds held in an accountwith a Financial Intermediary owned by your spouse ordomestic partner and by children under the age of 21who share your residential address.

Letter of Intent: You may qualify for a reduction in theinitial sales charge applicable on a current purchase ofClass A Shares by signing a Letter of Intent committingyou to purchase a certain amount of shares over adefined period of time. Provided you satisfy the minimuminitial investment requirement, you may purchase Class AShares of one or more JPMorgan Funds (other than amoney market fund) over the next 13 months and paythe same sales charge that you would have paid if allshares were purchased at once. At your request, pur-chases made during the previous 90 days may beincluded toward the amount covered by the Letter ofIntent. If you elect to include purchases made during thepast 90 days toward fulfillment of your Letter of Intent,the 13-month period will be deemed to begin as of thedate of the earliest purchase being counted toward fulfill-ment of your Letter of Intent. You should inform yourFinancial Intermediary or the Fund that you have a Letterof Intent each time you make an investment. A percent-age of your investment will be held in escrow until the fullamount covered by the Letter of Intent has beeninvested. If the terms of the Letter of Intent are not ful-filled by the end of the 13th month, you must pay theDistributor the difference between the sales chargesapplicable to the purchases at the time they were madeand the reduced sales charges previously paid or the Dis-tributor will liquidate sufficient escrowed shares to obtainthe difference. Calculations made to determine whether aLetter of Intent commitment has been fulfilled will bemade on the basis of the net amount invested.

Additional information regarding the reduction of Class Asales charges is available in the Fund’s Statement ofAdditional Information. To take advantage of the Right ofAccumulation and/or a Letter of Intent, complete theappropriate section of your Account Application or con-tact your Financial Intermediary.

To take advantage of any of these Class A sales chargewaivers, you must qualify for such waiver. To see if youqualify, call 1-800-480-4111 or contact your FinancialIntermediary. These waivers may not continue indefinitelyand may be discontinued at any time without notice.

Class B SharesClass B Shares are offered at NAV per share,without any upfront sales charge. However, if you redeemClass B Shares within six years of the purchase date,measured from the first day of the month in which theshares were purchased, you will be assessed a CDSCaccording to the following schedule:

Years Since PurchaseCDSC as a % of Dollar Amount

Subject to Charge

0–1 5.001–2 4.002–3 3.003–4 3.004–5 2.005–6 1.00More than 6 None

The Distributor pays a commission of 4.00% of the origi-nal purchase price to Financial Intermediaries who sellClass B Shares of the Funds.

Conversion FeatureYour Class B Shares automatically convert to Class AShares after eight years, measured from the first day ofthe month in which the shares were purchased.

After conversion, your shares will be subject to the lowerRule 12b–1 fees charged on Class A Shares.

You will not be assessed any sales charges or fees forconversion of shares, nor will you be subject to any fed-eral income tax as a result of the conversion. Class AShares of the Fund received as a result of the conversionwill not be subject to a redemption fee even if they areredeemed within 60 days of conversion.

Because the share price of the Class A Shares may behigher than that of the Class B Shares at the time of con-version, you may receive fewer Class A Shares; however,the dollar value will be the same.

If you have exchanged Class B Shares of one JPMorganFund for Class B Shares of another, the time you held theshares in each Fund will be added together.

How the Class B CDSC is CalculatedThe Fund assumes that all purchases made in a givenmonth were made on the first day of the month.

For Class B Shares purchased prior to February 19,2005, the CDSC is based on the current market valueor the original cost of the shares, whichever is less. Youshould retain any records necessary to substantiatehistorical costs because the Distributor, the Funds, thetransfer agent and your Financial Intermediary may notmaintain such information. For Class B Shares purchasedon or after February 19, 2005, the CDSC is based on theoriginal cost of the shares.

No CDSC is imposed on share appreciation, nor is aCDSC imposed on shares acquired through reinvestmentof dividends or capital gains distributions.

To keep your CDSC as low as possible, the Fund first willredeem shares acquired through dividend reinvestmentfollowed by the shares you have held for the longest timeand thus have the lowest CDSC.

If you received your Class B Shares in connection witha fund reorganization, the CDSC applicable to your origi-nal shares (including the period of time you have heldthose shares) will be applied to the shares received inthe reorganization.

Waiver of the Class B CDSCNo sales charge is imposed on redemptions of Class BShares of the Fund:

1. If you withdraw no more than a specified percentage(as indicated in “Redeeming Fund Shares — Can Iredeem on a systematic basis?”) of the current bal-ance of a Fund each month or quarter. Withdrawalsmade as part of a required minimum distribution also

RULE 12b-1 FEESEach Fund described in this prospectus has adopted aDistribution Plan under Rule 12b-1 that allows it to paydistribution fees for the sale and distribution of sharesof the Fund. These fees are called “Rule 12b-1 fees.”Rule 12b-1 fees are paid by the Fund to the Distributoras compensation for its services and expenses in con-nection with the sale and distribution of Fund shares. TheDistributor in turn pays all or part of these Rule 12b-1fees to Financial Intermediaries that have agreementswith the Distributor to sell shares of the Fund. The Dis-tributor may pay Rule 12b-1 fees to its affiliates.

The Rule 12b-1 fees vary by share class as follows:

1. Class A Shares pay an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fundattributable to Class A Shares.

2. Class B Shares pay an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fundattributable to such class. This will cause expenses forClass B Shares to be higher and dividends to belower than for Class A Shares.

Rule 12b-1 fees, together with the CDSC, help the Distribu-tor sell Class B Shares without an upfront sales charge bydefraying the costs of advancing brokerage commissionsand other expenses paid to Financial Intermediaries.

Because Rule 12b-1 fees are paid out of Fund assets onan ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase thecost of your investment and may cost you more thanpaying other types of sales charges.

NETWORKING AND SUB-TRANSFERAGENCY FEESThe Fund may also directly enter into agreements withFinancial Intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund willpay the Financial Intermediary for services such as net-working or sub-transfer agency. Payments made pursu-ant to such agreements are generally based on either(1) a percentage of the average daily net assets of clientsserviced by such Financial Intermediary up to a set maxi-mum dollar amount per shareholder account serviced, or(2) the number of accounts serviced by such Financial

Intermediary. Any payments made pursuant to suchagreements are in addition to, rather than in lieu of,Rule 12b-1 fees the Financial Intermediary may alsobe receiving pursuant to agreements with the Distributor.From time to time, JPMIM or its affiliates may pay a por-tion of the fees for networking or sub-transfer agencyat its or their own expense and out of its or their legiti-mate profits.

2. If you select this option, please keep in mind that:

• It may not be in your best interest to buy additionalClass A Shares while participating in a SystematicWithdrawal Plan. This is because Class A Shareshave an up-front sales charge. If you own Class BShares, you or your designated payee may receivemonthly, quarterly or annual systematic payments.The applicable Class B CDSC will be deductedfrom those payments unless such paymentsare made:

• Monthly and constitute no more than 1⁄12 of10% of your then-current balance in the Fundeach month; or

• Quarterly and constitute no more than 1⁄4 of10% of your then-current balance in the Fundeach quarter.

3. The amount of the CDSC charged will dependon whether your systematic payments are a fixeddollar amount per month or quarter or are calculatedmonthly or quarterly as a stated percentage ofyour then-current balance in the Fund. For moreinformation about the calculation of the CDSC forsystematic withdrawals exceeding the specified limitsabove, please see the Fund’s Statement of AdditionalInformation. New annual systematic withdrawals arenot eligible for a waiver of the Class B CDSC. Yourcurrent balance in a Fund for purposes of these cal-culations will be determined by multiplying the num-ber of shares held by the then-current NAV per shareof the applicable class.

4. If the amount of the systematic payment exceedsthe income earned by your account since theprevious payment under the Systematic WithdrawalPlan, payments will be made by redeeming someof your shares. This will reduce the amount ofyour investment.

5. You cannot have both a Systematic InvestmentPlan and a Systematic Withdrawal Plan for thesame Fund.

Additional Information Regarding RedemptionsGenerally, all redemptions will be for cash. However, ifyou redeem shares worth $250,000 or more, the Fundreserves the right to pay part or all of your redemptionproceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash.If payment is made in securities, the Fund will value the

securities selected in the same manner in which it com-putes its NAV. This process minimizes the effect of largeredemptions on the Fund and its remaining shareholders.

Due to the relatively high cost of maintaining smallaccounts, if your account value falls below the requiredminimum balance, the Fund reserves the right to redeemall of the remaining shares in your account and closeyour account or charge an annual sub-minimum accountfee of $10. Before either of these actions is taken, youwill be given 60 days’ advance written notice in order toprovide you with time to increase your account balanceto the required minimum, by purchasing sufficient shares,in accordance with the terms of this prospectus.

Accounts participating in a qualifying Systematic Invest-ment Plan will not be subject to redemption or the impo-sition of the $10 fee as long as the systematic paymentsto be made will increase the account value above therequired minimum balance within one year of the estab-lishment of the account.

1. To collect the $10 sub-minimum account fee, theFund will redeem $10 worth of shares from youraccount. Shares redeemed for this reason will not becharged a CDSC.

2. If your account falls below the minimum required bal-ance and is closed as a result, you will not becharged a CDSC.

For information on minimum required balances, pleaseread “Purchasing Fund Shares — How do I open anaccount?”

The Fund may suspend your ability to redeem when:

1. Trading on the NYSE is restricted;

2. The NYSE is closed (other than weekend and holidayclosings);

3. Federal securities laws permit;

4. The SEC has permitted a suspension; or

5. An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC.

See “Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges” in theStatement of Additional Information for more detailsabout this process.

You generally will recognize a gain or loss on a redemp-tion for federal income tax purposes. You should talk toyour tax advisor before making a redemption.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXESThe Fund can earn income and can realize capital gain.The Fund deducts any expenses and then pays out theearnings to shareholders as distributions.

The Fund generally declares and distributes net invest-ment income, if any, at least quarterly. The Fund distrib-utes net capital gain (that is, the excess of net long-termcapital gain over net short-term capital loss), if any, atleast annually. For each taxable year, the Fund will distrib-ute substantially all of its net investment income and netcapital gain.

You have three options for your distributions. You may:

• reinvest all distributions in additional Fund shares with-out a sales charge;

• take distributions of net investment income in cash oras a deposit in a pre-assigned bank account and rein-vest distributions of net capital gain in additionalshares; or

• take all distributions in cash or as a deposit in a pre-assigned bank account.

If you do not select an option when you open youraccount, we will reinvest all distributions. If your distribu-tions are reinvested, they will be in the form of shares ofthe same class. The taxation of the dividends will not beaffected by the form in which you receive them.

For federal income tax purposes, distributions of netinvestment income (and any net short-term capital gain)generally are taxable as ordinary income. Dividends of netinvestment income paid to a non-corporate U.S. share-holder during a taxable year beginning before January 1,2011 that are properly designated as qualified dividendincome generally will be taxable to such shareholder at amaximum rate of 15%. The amount of dividend incomethat may be so designated by the Fund generally will belimited to the aggregate of the eligible dividends receivedby the Fund. In addition, the Fund must meet certainholding period and other requirements with respect to theshares on which the Fund received the eligible dividends,and the non-corporate U.S. shareholder must meet cer-tain holding period and other requirements with respectto the Fund shares. Dividends of net investment incomethat are not designated as qualified dividend income anddividends of net short-term capital gain will be taxable toshareholders as ordinary income.

If you receive distributions that are properly designated ascapital gain dividends, the tax rate will be based on howlong the Fund held a particular asset, not on how longyou have owned your shares. Distributions of net capital

gain from the sale of investments that the Fund ownedfor more than one year and that are properly designatedby the Fund as capital gain dividends will be taxable aslong-term capital gain. Capital gain dividends of a non-corporate U.S. shareholder recognized during a taxableyear beginning before January 1, 2011, generally will betaxed at a maximum rate of 15%. Distributions of netshort-term capital gain in excess of net long-term capitalloss, if any, will be taxable to shareholders as ordi-nary income. Capital gain of a corporate shareholder istaxed at the same rate as ordinary income. If you buyshares of a Fund just before a distribution, you will paytax on the entire amount of the taxable distribution youreceive. Distributions are taxable to you even if they arepaid from income or gain earned by the Fund before yourinvestment (and thus were included in the price you paid).Any gain resulting from the sale or exchange of Fundshares will be taxable as long-term or short-term gain,depending upon how long you have held your shares.

The Fund’s investments in certain REIT securities mayrequire the Fund to accrue and distribute income not yetreceived. In order to generate sufficient cash to make therequisite distributions, the Fund may be required to sellother investments in its portfolio that it otherwise wouldhave continued to hold (including when it is not advanta-geous to do so). The Fund’s investments in REIT securi-ties also may result in the Fund’s receipt of cash inexcess of the REIT’s earnings; if the Fund distributessuch amounts, such distribution could constitute a returnof capital to Fund shareholders for federal income taxpurposes. Please see the Statement of Additional Infor-mation for additional discussion of the tax consequencesof these investments to the Fund.

The Fund’s investments in other investment companiesand repurchase agreements could affect the amount, tim-ing, and character of distributions from the Fund, and,therefore, may increase the amount of taxes payable byshareholders.

The Fund’s transactions in futures contracts, short sales,swaps and other derivatives will be subject to special taxrules, the effect of which may be to accelerate income tothe Fund, defer losses to the Fund, cause adjustments inthe holding periods of the Fund’s securities, and convertshort-term capital losses into long-term capital losses.These rules could therefore affect the amount, timing andcharacter of distributions to shareholders. The Fund’s useof these types of transactions may result in the Fundrealizing more short-term capital gains and ordinaryincome subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than itwould if it did not engage in such transactions.

None of the actions described below allege that any unlawful activity took place with respect to the Fund whose sharesare offered in this prospectus.

Prior to becoming an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase, on June 29, 2004, Banc One Investment Advisors Corporation (BOIA),now known as JPMorgan Investment Advisors Inc., entered into agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commis-sion (the SEC) and the New York Attorney General (NYAG) in resolution of investigations conducted by the SEC and theNYAG into market timing of certain funds advised by BOIA which were series of One Group Mutual Funds, possible latetrading of certain funds and related matters. In its settlement with the SEC, BOIA consented to the entry of an order bythe SEC (the SEC Order) instituting and settling administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against it. Under theterms of the SEC Order and the NYAG settlement agreement, BOIA agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and acivil money penalty of $40 million for a total payment of $50 million, which is being distributed to certain current andformer shareholders of certain funds. Pursuant to the settlement agreement with the NYAG, BOIA reduced its manage-ment fee for certain funds which were series of One Group Mutual Funds (now known as JPMorgan Trust II) in theaggregate amount of approximately $8 million annually over a five-year period commencing September, 2004.

In addition to the matters involving the SEC and NYAG, various lawsuits were filed by private plaintiffs in connection withthese circumstances in various state and federal courts. These actions were transferred to the United States DistrictCourt for the District of Maryland for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings by the orders of the Judicial Panelon Multidistrict Litigation, a federal judicial body that assists in the administration of such actions. The plaintiffs filed con-solidated amended complaints, naming as defendants, among others, BOIA, Bank One Corporation and JPMorganChase (the former and current corporate parent of BOIA), the Distributor, One Group Services Company (the former dis-tributor of One Group Mutual Funds), certain officers of One Group Mutual Funds and BOIA, and certain current andformer Trustees of One Group Mutual Funds. These complaints alleged, among other things, that various defendants(i) violated various antifraud and other provisions of federal securities laws, (ii) breached their fiduciary duties, (iii) unjustlyenriched themselves, (iv) breached Fund-related contracts, and (v) conspired to commit unlawful acts.

As of June 14, 2006, all claims against One Group Mutual Funds and current and former Trustees were dismissed bythe United States District Court in Maryland. Certain claims against BOIA and its affiliates have also been dismissed, anda settlement in principle has been reached for the purpose of resolving all remaining claims in the litigation in Maryland.The settlement is subject to court approval.

The foregoing speaks only as of the date of this prospectus. Additional lawsuits presenting allegations and requests forrelief arising out of or in connection with any of the foregoing matters may be filed against these and related parties inthe future.
