NOT FDIC INSURED | NO BANK GUARANTEE | MAY LOSE VALUE JPMorgan Large Cap Growth Fund A Shares (OLGAX) C Shares (OLGCX) Select Shares (SEEGX) Data as of February 28, 2015 Fund overview Investment objective The goal of the JPMorgan Large Cap Growth Fund is to outperform the Russell 1000 Growth Index over a full market cycle through stock selection while managing risk. The strategy looks for companies that have the ability to deliver higher growth than market expectations over the next several years. The investment process is focused on identifying stocks that have large addressable markets, are executing on competitive advantage and experiencing good price momentum. We would expect the strategy to outperform during periods where growth and momentum are in favor, while headwinds could occur during periods where growth and momentum are challenged. The strategy is designed to reduce risk during such unfavorable market environments, allowing for more consistent returns over time. Objective The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. Strategy/Investment process • Invests primarily in equity securities of large capitalization companies with market capitalizations similar to those within the universe of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. • Seeks to invest in stocks that have potential to exceed market expectations for a prolonged period of time. • Employs a process that combines research, stock selection and risk management to construct a diversified portfolio.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark during the period largely due to stock selection in the industrials (7.6% portfolio weighting) and consumer discretionary (20.1% portfolio weighting) sectors. Stock selection in the financials sector (4.0% portfolio weighting) and underweight exposure to the consumer staples sector (4.5% portfolio weighting) contributed to performance. At the individual stock level, an overweight position in Delta Air Lines, Inc. (1.8% portfolio weighting) was the top detractor in the month. The stock traded lower as the price of oil rose modestly in early February, adversely impacting the Delta's business. An overweight position in Gilead Sciences, Inc. (3.0% portfolio weighting), a biopharmaceutical company, was also a top detractor. Shares came under pressure despite the company reporting stronger-than-expected earnings and revenues as investors grew concerned over intensifying competition and its adverse impact on the company's pricing power for Sovaldi, a treatment for Hepatitis C. On the positive side, an overweight position in Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (2.8% portfolio weighting) was the top contributor for the month. The stock traded higher as investors applauded their announced plans to acquire Salix Pharmaceuticals. The company also reported better-than-expected earnings and revenues, which also sent shares higher. An overweight position in Avago Technologies Ltd. (2.0% portfolio weighting), a semiconductor company, was another top contributor for the month. The company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenues, and also announced an acquisition of Emulex, which was well received by the market. Fund positioning The portfolio's positioning has not materially changed since the prior month. We maintain a positive view on growth and the portfolio, and continue to identify high-conviction stocks from a variety of different pockets in the market. The portfolio continues to overweight the health care sector (22.6% portfolio weighting) along with materials (6.0% portfolio weighting) and consumer discretionary (20.1% portfolio weighting). Consumer staples (4.5% portfolio weighting), industrials (7.6% portfolio weighting) and telecommunication services (0.0% portfolio weighting) are the largest underweights. VALUATION RATIOS DEFINED: 1P/E ratio: the number by which earnings per share is multiplied to estimate a stock's value. 2P/B ratio: the relationship between a stock's price and the book value of that stock. RISK MEASURES DEFINED: Risk measures are calculated based upon the Funds' broad-based index as stated in the prospectus. 3 Beta: The systematic risk of a Fund. The beta of a Fund is its sensitivity to a benchmark. A Fund with a beta of 1.0 is as risky as the benchmark and would therefore provide expected returns equal to those of the market during both up and down periods. 4 Sharpe ratio: A risk-adjusted measure that determines the reward per unit of risk. The numerator is the difference between the Fund’s annualized return and the annualized return of the risk-free instrument and the denominator is the Fund’s standard deviation. The Sharpe ratio is calculated over a 36-month period based on the Fund’s returns. The greater the Fund’s Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been. A negative Sharpe ratio indicates that a risk-free instrument would perform better than the Fund. The Sharpe ratio shown is based on the Fund's Class A Shares or the oldest share class, where Class A Shares are not available.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTING IN THE FUND: 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. Equity securities are subject to “stock market risk,” meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the prices of the types of securities in which a fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of a Fund’s securities goes down, an investment in a Fund decreases in value. ©2015, American Bankers Association, CUSIP Database provided by the Standard & Poor's CUSIP Service Bureau, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

By contrast, the performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of fund expenses, including sales charges if applicable. Investors can not invest directly in an index.
