JPM Strategic Bond FundObjective

To maximise returns by investing primarily in a global portfolio of fixed and floating rate debt securities. The Fund may invest in developed and emerging market countries and hold investment grade, non-investment grade and unrated bonds. The Fund may have a concentrated portfolio and may have a significant exposure to any one country, sector or issuer, which may include emerging markets and non-investment grade or unrated bonds, at any time. Allocations between countries, sectors and ratings of bonds may vary significantly at any time. The Fund may use derivatives for investment purposes or Efficient Portfolio Management including hedging, where appropriate. The Fund is also permitted to invest up to 100% in government and public securities.

Risk Profile

Bond funds may not behave like direct investments in the underlying bonds themselves. By investing in bond funds, the certainty of receiving a regular fixed amount of income for a defined period of time with the prospect of a future known return of capital is lost.

Bond prices can fluctuate significantly depending not only on the global economic and interest rate conditions but also on the general credit market environment and the creditworthiness of the issuer.

The credit quality of high yield bonds is below investment grade and they usually offer higher yields to compensate for the reduced creditworthiness and the increased risk of default relative to investment grade bonds.

Bonds with a lower credit rating may have a higher risk of defaulting which may in turn have an adverse effect on the performance of Funds which invest in them.

The investment policy of the Fund permits the use of derivatives and/or forward transactions for investment purposes. As a result the Fund may sometimes be leveraged, potentially increasing the volatility and therefore risk of the Fund.

The Fund may have a significant exposure to asset and mortgage backed securities (ABS and MBS). Owing to the nature of some ABS and MBS, the exact timing and size of cashflows paid by the securities may not be fully assured.

Bond funds will normally distribute a combination of coupon and the expected discount/premium on the securities. Therefore, a Fund’s distribution will comprise income received and an element of projected capital gains or losses. This could result in an element of capital gain being taxed as income in the hands of an investor.
