A.
General Description of Advisory Firm
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), a Delaware corporation, is a registered investment adviser
that provides advisory services to open-end and closed-end Registered Investment Companies (“RICs”)
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); provides investment advice
and/or administrative functions for private investment funds organized as limited partnerships, limited
liability companies, or offshore companies (“Private Funds”); and provides discretionary and non-
discretionary investment management services in various wrap fee programs, including the J.P. Morgan
Managed Investment Services Program (the “Program”), offered through an affiliate, J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC (“JPMS”). This Brochure describes the discretionary and non-discretionary services that
JPMPI provides as part of the Program.
The JPMS legal entity offers investment advisory services through several separate sales channels. Similar
wrap fee programs that offer the same and similar investment strategies are offered in different sales
channels and at different fee levels with different features and different execution experiences. Certain
advisory products may also be offered to clients of J.P. Morgan Private Bank. JPMS offers a variety of
investment advisory services and brokerage offerings as detailed in its ADV brochures.
JPMPI was incorporated on November 25, 1991. JPMPI is a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase
& Co., which, together with its affiliates (collectively, “J.P. Morgan” or “JPMC”) is engaged in a large
number of financial businesses worldwide, including banking, asset management, securities brokerage,
and investment advisory services. As relevant to this Brochure, JPMPI is also affiliated with other entities,
which are also affiliates of each other, as well as J.P. Morgan, and includes, but is not limited to, JPMS,
J.P. Morgan Wealth Management Solutions Inc. (“WMS”), J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.
(“JPMIM”), and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”).
B.
Description of Advisory Services
JPMPI provides discretionary and non-discretionary sub-advisory, portfolio management and research
services as part of the Program. JPMS has retained JPMPI to provide such services for the Program.
The Program is an investment advisory program sponsored by JPMS and offered by JPMS private client
advisors or J.P. Morgan financial advisor referred to as an investment adviser representative (“IAR”). For
more information on the Program, refer to the sponsor’s (JPMS) Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1, SEC File
No. 801-3702, for the Program which is available at the SEC’s website at adviserinfo.sec.gov or from JPMS
upon request. With respect to the Program’s investment management services or implementation and
4
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
overlay services provided by J.P. Morgan or third-party SEC-registered investment advisers, refer to the
applicable manager’s Form ADV, Part 2A, which is available at the SEC’s website at adviserinfo.sec.gov.
Additional information about the services JPMPI provides to its other clients investing in (i) Private Funds
and RICs or (ii) other JPMS wrap fee programs are described in separate ADV brochures, which are
available at the SEC’s website at adviserinfo.sec.gov.
The Program Overview
The Program is designed to provide clients, working with their JPMS IAR, access to select investment
solutions to help meet their investment goals. Clients can opt to give full investment discretion to JPMS or
a third-party through single or multi-asset Managed Accounts (“Managed Accounts”) or retain investment
discretion while receiving ongoing advice and guidance from their IAR through Guided Accounts (“Guided
Accounts”), as described below.
• Managed Accounts. Clients can opt for a discretionary Managed Account that includes the
selection of investment strategies provided by J.P. Morgan and/or third-party investment managers
in alignment with a client’s risk profile. Managed Accounts generally include either single or multi-
asset solutions offered by JPMPI that follow J.P. Morgan’s asset allocation guidance and
investment vehicle selection (“Core Solutions”). Clients can also select single strategies managed
by affiliated or unaffiliated model managers and/or separately managed account (“SMA”)
managers. This includes multi-manager portfolios managed by JPMPI that seek to invest in one or
more Funds and/or in individual securities following one or more Model Portfolios that may be
provided by affiliated and/or unaffiliated model managers (the “Multi-Manager Strategies”).
• Guided Accounts. Clients can opt to invest in a Guided Account, which involves the selection of
an asset allocation model customized with the client in alignment with the client’s risk profile. The
customized investment portfolio can combine investments in model managers and/or SMA
investment advisers as well as mutual funds and ETFs. Clients retain investment discretion to (i)
select and change investment products and (ii) define and adjust the target asset allocation and
target portfolio. Guided Accounts may be implemented across a spectrum of asset classes,
including equities, fixed income and alternative investments. JPMPI, as a non-discretionary sub-
adviser for Guided Accounts, makes recommendations regarding allocation guidelines and risk
parameters for each Guided Account Model (as defined below).
JPMS delegates some or all of its investment advisory discretionary authority and functions to its affiliates,
including WMS and JPMPI, as well as to third-party managers. JPMS (not JPMPI) is responsible for
determining whether the choice of the Program, selection of account type, particular investment strategies,
and particular investment advisers that provide Model Portfolios (“Model Manager”) and/or SMA investment
advisers (collectively, with Model Manager, “SMA/Model Managers”) are suitable for a particular client.
5
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
JPMPI does not have any liability for JPMS’ determinations that the investment strategy selected by the
client is suitable in light of the client’s investment objectives and financial situation.
JPMPI will not consider any assets owned by the client outside of that particular account, including any
assets held in other Program accounts. The actual allocation of an account may change over time due to
fluctuations in the market value of the account assets and/or additions to or withdrawals from the account.
In addition, a change in the client information provided to JPMS or other circumstances may warrant a
change to a client’s target allocation.
Performance of a client account in an investment strategy can differ from the performance of other client
accounts in the same strategy depending on the investment selections and elections made by each
particular client, such as clients requesting restrictions, rebalancing frequency selected, electing to opt out
of tax harvesting or funding with securities and utilizing tax transition services.
Neither JPMS, JPMPI, nor the manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates (further described below)
make any representation or guarantee, or can ensure, that a given investment strategy’s objective will be
attained. Additionally, with the exception of the Six Circles Funds (described in Item 11.B below), for which
JPMPI serves as investment adviser, and Model Managers who provide Model Portfolios of individual
securities to JPMS or an affiliate as a discretionary manager, neither JPMS, JPMPI, nor the manager
solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates is responsible for the performance of any Fund (as defined in the
Glossary) or any SMA Manager, or for any Fund’s or SMA/Model Manager’s compliance with its prospectus,
disclosures, laws or regulations, or other matters within the Fund’s or SMA/Model Manager’s control. Each
Fund’s adviser and SMA/Model Manager is responsible for the investment strategy that it manages.
Core Solutions
JPMPI offers single or multi-asset solutions that follow J.P. Morgan’s asset allocation guidance and
investment vehicle selection. Clients establish a discretionary managed account that is invested in a
manner consistent with one of the single-asset class (Managed Fixed Income and Managed Equities) or
multi-asset class (Income, Conservative, Balanced, Growth and Aggressive Growth) investment strategies
that JPMS makes available to clients. In addition, U.S. focused investment strategies for Conservative,
Balanced and Growth are offered in Core Solutions. The investment strategy for a particular client is based
on the client’s discussion with JPMS and the client’s risk tolerance.
The Balanced ESG investment strategy primarily consists of Funds or other investments that consider
environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors and/or focus on sustainable themes.
The US Endowments & Foundations (“E&F”) investment strategy is designed to primarily service the
investment goals of nonprofit entities (i.e., endowments and foundations). This investment strategy is made
available to clients of IARs and is appropriate for a Growth investment strategy. The endowment investing
approach is generally characterized by a longer-term investment horizon. A long-term investment mindset
6
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
can allow a client to look through the short-term volatility and focus on the potential of enhancing long-term
returns.
Assets within an investment strategy are generally invested in each asset class through one or more open-
end mutual funds, ETFs, liquid alternative funds, or any other commingled funds available in the Program
(“Funds”), or through a Model Manager or SMA that includes individual securities. Depending on the
investment strategy selected, clients have the option to make certain elections including municipal fixed
income (for taxable accounts), SMA/Model Managers, Liquid Alternative Funds or non-J.P. Morgan Funds
and unaffiliated Model Managers, as described further below.
JPMPI, as a discretionary sub-adviser, determines strategic and tactical asset allocations, is responsible
for security selection (i.e., selects the Funds and SMA/Model Managers for investment) and determines
portfolio construction using its research. JPMPI from time to time closes investment strategies to new
investments. JPMS oversees the selections and remains responsible for overseeing JPMPI’s performance.
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non–J.P. Morgan Funds are available in Managed Accounts. Currently, a
substantial portion of the assets in Core Solutions are invested, or expected to be invested, in J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds. Unaffiliated and affiliated Model Managers can be evaluated and selected for Core
Solutions accounts. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential
Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and
affiliated Model Managers.
JPMS establishes investment objectives, guidelines and policy, designates sub-adviser(s) when
appropriate and is responsible for oversight of the sub-adviser(s). JPMS (not JPMPI) is responsible for
determining whether an investment strategy is suitable for a particular client. There are operational
considerations, such as Fund concentration and capacity issues, that can result in the timing or
implementation of trades for a client’s account differing from that of another client or group of clients of
JPMS or its affiliates. An internal governance committee provides ongoing oversight of Core Solutions to
review compliance with certain guidelines.
U.S. Focused Models
U.S. Focused investment strategies for Conservative, Balanced and Growth investment strategies are
available to clients in Core Solutions. U.S. Focused investment strategies seek to primarily invest in the
United States.
Balanced ESG
The Balanced ESG investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments and
income generation, with a secondary goal of principal preservation, by primarily investing in funds,
strategies and other investments that consider ESG factors into their investment process and/or focus on
7
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
sustainable themes. The investment strategy aims to maintain moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in
pursuit of this objective. Consistent with its balanced approach, this investment strategy expects to invest
in assets that have upside return potential but tend to have a more volatile return history, such as equities,
as well as assets that tend to have a history of lower capital returns and less volatility, such as fixed income.
US Endowments & Foundations
The E&F investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments. The US E&F
investment strategy also aims to maintain above-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this
return objective. Consistent with these objectives, the E&F investment strategy expects to invest
predominantly in assets that tend to have a history of higher upside return potential and volatility such as
equities and alternative assets, with a lower percentage invested in historically less volatile securities such
as fixed income.
The endowment investing approach is generally characterized by a longer-term investment horizon. A long-
term investment mindset can allow a client to look through the short-term volatility and focus on the
potential of enhancing long-term returns.
Municipal Fixed Income (for taxable accounts)
For taxable (non-retirement) accounts, clients can elect to substitute tax-aware investments for certain
equities or municipal investment for some fixed income options.
Liquid Alternative Funds
Liquid Alternative Funds are available to accounts depending on the investment strategy and assets
available in the account (generally accounts with an investment balance of at least $250,000).
SMA/Model Managers
When a client elects to use SMA/Model Managers, the opportunities available to such client differs from the
opportunities available to clients who do not use SMA/Model Managers. As a result, the asset allocation
and the performance of an account utilizing SMA/Model Managers can differ from the allocation or
performance of other accounts without SMA/Model Managers.
Non-J.P. Morgan Funds and Unaffiliated Model Managers
As described in “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of
Interest” in Item 11.B below, JPMPI prefers J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and affiliated Model Managers.
Clients can elect to exclude from their Managed Accounts. J.P. Morgan managed strategies and affiliated
Model Managers (except for J.P. Morgan sweep vehicles) including J.P. Morgan managed strategies where
a party other than J.P. Morgan is appointed investment adviser (“Non-Proprietary Strategy Election”).
8
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
The Non-Proprietary Strategy Election excludes from Managed Accounts J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
(except J.P. Morgan sweep vehicles) and affiliated Model Managers.
Currently, the Non-Proprietary Strategy Election is available for all Core Solutions investment strategies,
including where clients are eligible for and have elected to include Liquid Alternative Funds or other
securities through Model Managers in their accounts. It is possible that the availability of this election will
change in the future.
When a client elects to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies, it can affect JPMPI’s ability to make
investments, access asset classes, or take advantage of opportunities that are available to clients who do
not make the Non-Proprietary Strategy Election. As a result, performance of an account with an election
can differ from the performance of other accounts without an election.
To the extent a client holds J.P. Morgan managed investments in an existing account at the time of making
the Non-Proprietary Strategy Election, sales of Funds can be subject to redemption fees.
Multi-Manager Strategies
The Multi-Manager Strategies seek to address specific investment objectives, provide exposure to targeted
asset classes, capture timely market opportunities, and/or address specific client objectives through actively
managed portfolios. These investment strategies may include a variety of marketable securities, such as
stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds, and may leverage the expertise of Model Managers who provide
models of securities for certain investment strategies. The Multi-Manager Strategies include the Dynamic
Multi-Asset Strategy, the Dynamic Yield Strategy, the Emerging Markets Growth and Income Strategy, the
Liquidity Management Strategy, the Sustainable Equity Strategy, the Sustainable Fixed Income Strategy
and the Global Emerging Markets Strategy.
JPMPI, as portfolio manager for the Multi-Manager Strategies, is responsible for securities selection
(including selecting Funds and/or Model Managers for investment) and determining portfolio construction.
The portfolio manager(s) construct portfolios and identify Funds and/or specific securities to implement
investment views within the strategies’ guidelines and consistent with its investment objectives. The portfolio
manager(s) will seek to determine their initial and ongoing portfolio positioning at an asset class, sub-asset
class, sector, or sub-sector level in order to capture opportunities or limit risks while managing the portfolio
within respective guidelines. In making investment decisions with respect to Multi-Manager Strategies, the
portfolio manager(s) are only permitted to use approved Funds and/or Model Portfolios provided by Model
Managers. Funds available include both J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non–J.P. Morgan Funds. In
addition, unaffiliated and affiliated Model Managers may be evaluated and selected for Multi-Manager
Strategy accounts. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential
Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and
affiliated Model Managers.

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
An internal governance committee provides ongoing oversight of the Multi-Manager Strategies to review
compliance with strategy-specific guidelines and metrics.
The portfolio manager(s) may select individual securities and Funds, including Liquid Alternative Funds.
Refer to Item 8 below for more information about relevant risks of these investments.
In the case of Dynamic Multi-Asset Strategy, a Multi-Manager Strategy, clients can select an investment
strategy that excludes J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds or one that may include J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds.
JPMS has a conflict in recommending the Dynamic Multi-Asset Strategy as it may include J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential
Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds in
Multi-Manager Strategies.
Guided Account
Clients can opt to invest in a Guided Account, which involves the selection of an asset allocation model
customized with the client in alignment with the client’s risk profile. JPMPI, as the non-discretionary sub-
adviser for the Program’s Guided Accounts, provides recommendations to JPMS regarding allocation
guidelines and risk parameters for the asset allocation models (“Guided Account Models”) and
recommends the Funds and SMA/Model Managers available through the Program using its research.
JPMPI does not manage Guided Account assets on a discretionary basis. Instead, each client directs the
investment of their Guided Account assets across each selected asset class into one or more Funds or
SMA/Model Managers. Each asset class in a Guided Account Model has a specified allocation range and
the client designates the specific asset allocation percentage desired for each asset class.
Funds available through Guided Accounts include both J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non–J.P. Morgan
Funds. In addition, unaffiliated and affiliated SMA/Model Managers may be evaluated and made available
for Guided Accounts. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential
Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and
affiliated Model Managers.
Funds or SMA/Model Managers that have an ESG or sustainable investing objective or strategy (“ESG
Funds/Managers”) can be selected by clients to satisfy asset class allocations in the Program, to the extent
available. However, Guided Accounts are not designated by JPMS as an ESG or sustainable investing
program nor does JPMS monitor this allocation or guarantee the availability or any minimum or maximum
investment in ESG Funds/Managers. There is no guarantee that an ESG Fund/Manager will continue to
reflect ESG characteristics, objectives or philosophies or be considered by JPMS as an ESG or sustainable
investment.
JPMS establishes investment objectives, guidelines and policies; designates sub-adviser(s) when
appropriate; and is responsible for oversight of the sub-adviser(s). An internal governance committee
provides oversight of the Program(s) tailored to its non-discretionary nature, which includes reviewing
10
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
allocation guidelines and risk parameters. JPMS (not JPMPI) is responsible for determining whether a
Guided Account Model, the allowable ranges in each Guided Account Model, the individual Funds or
SMA/Model Managers are suitable for each client.
Fund and SMA/Model Manager Research
JPMPI utilizes different types of research on Funds and SMA/Model Managers. A due diligence review is
performed on Funds and SMA/Model Managers identified through both the Qualitative Research Process
and Systematic Research Process.
For the “Qualitative Research Process,” the manager solutions team conducts a qualitative analysis of
Funds and SMA/Model Managers on an ongoing basis. The team reviews the portfolio manager’s
organization, investment process, investment philosophy and performance.
For passive Fund vehicles, there is a quantitative screening process that applies the manager solutions
team criteria to review and monitor investments at the product level. This is combined with qualitative review
and inputs.
For the “Systematic Research Process,” Funds and SMA/Model Managers are evaluated using an internally
developed quantitative screening process on an ongoing basis. This evaluation reviews the portfolio
manager’s organization, investment process, investment philosophy and performance using only
quantitative criteria.
Funds and SMA/Model Managers may be removed from (or no longer be eligible for purchase in) the
Program if they do not continue to meet these criteria. Funds and SMA/Model Managers subject to the
Systematic Research Process may also go through the Qualitative Research Process. To the extent that
Fund and SMA/Model Managers are reviewed through both processes, the results of the Qualitative
Research Process will override the results of the Systematic Research Process. For example, if a Fund or
SMA/Model Manager does not meet the required quantitative criteria of the Systematic Research Process,
then the manager solutions team may alternatively review and approve it using the Qualitative Research
Process, and the Fund or SMA/Model Manager would then be available in the Programs relying on the
Systematic Research Process; also, if a Fund or SMA/Model Manager is terminated under the Qualitative
Research Process, it will also be terminated in programs relying on the Systematic Research Process.
C.
Availability of Customized Services for Clients
Clients can request reasonable restrictions on management of their accounts, including particular securities
or categories of securities related to a sector or industry (e.g., weapons or tobacco) that will be implemented
subject to acceptance by JPMS, WMS, or the portfolio manager and in their sole discretion. No restriction
will be applied to the underlying holdings of a Fund that is held or purchased in the client’s account.

D.
Wrap Fee Programs
In a wrap fee program, clients pay JPMS a fee based on the value of the clients’ wrap fee program assets.
JPMS reimburses JPMPI for its costs in providing its services to the Program account, including certain
investment advisory, portfolio management and research services, as applicable. JPMPI does not
separately receive a fee from JPMS or its clients.
JPMPI is responsible for making investment decisions regarding the selection of investments, and can do
so without consultation with clients. Clients generally authorize WMS or an affiliate to effect transactions,
subject to the duty to seek best execution. JPMS will ordinarily provide clearing, settlement, and custodial
services with respect to transactions and assets in accounts.
The same JPMPI personnel who provide services to the Program accounts also service other JPMS
accounts and JPMCB accounts that have the same or substantially similar investment objectives and follow
the same or similar strategies to those of the Program accounts (the “Other J.P. Morgan Accounts”). The
Program accounts will not always be handled identically to the Other J.P. Morgan Accounts, such as trading
through different broker-dealers or at different times. For certain programs, the fee for clients enrolled in the
Program is different than the Program fee for the Other J.P. Morgan Accounts. Additionally, individual
JPMCB accounts generally have more assets than individual JPMS accounts and therefore, JPMCB
receives more gross compensation with respect to JPMCB accounts than JPMS receives from JPMS
accounts. JPMPI could have a potential conflict of interest by having an incentive to favor these JPMCB
accounts when, for example, determining time spent managing such accounts or when allocating securities
to clients. JPMPI has policies and procedures designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated fairly
(refer to Item 12.B).
Refer to Items 10 and 11 for more information on material conflicts of interest relating to JPMPI’s advisory
services.
E.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, JPMPI had regulatory assets under management of approximately $13,917,019
on a discretionary basis and $1,709,610 on a non-discretionary basis for the Program.
Outside of the Program, as of December 31, 2025, JPMPI had additional regulatory assets under
management of approximately $412,914,450,051 on a discretionary basis and $57,050,038,353 on a non-
discretionary basis. Note that Six Circles Funds assets are included in the regulatory assets under
management reported for the Program, to the extent the Program is invested in Six Circles Funds, as well
as the regulatory assets under management reported as managed by JPMPI outside of the Program.

ITEM 5
Fees and Compensation
A.
JPMPI Compensation
JPMS reimburses JPMPI for its costs for providing investment services, including certain investment
advisory, portfolio management, and research services, as applicable. JPMPI does not separately receive
a fee from JPMS or its clients. Neither JPMPI nor any of its supervised persons accepts compensation for
the sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees
from the sale of Funds.
B.
Client Expenses
Clients pay JPMS an asset-based fee (wrap fee) for the various services JPMS provides in the Program.
Refer to the JPMS Form ADV, Part 2A.
C.
Other Client Expenses
Funds pay fees and expenses that are ultimately borne by clients (including but not limited to management
fees, brokerage costs, and administration and custody fees). Additionally, Funds held in an account have
investment advisory expenses, so clients incur two levels of investment management fees and expenses:
one indirectly in the form of an investment management fee to the investment adviser of each Fund, and
one to JPMS for its services rendered. These fees are in addition to any fees paid to JPMS as the sponsor.
JPMS and its affiliates collectively generally receive greater revenue if J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds or
affiliated SMA/Model Managers are included, and therefore, JPMS and JPMPI have a conflict of interest in
including J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds or affiliated SMA/Model Managers. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B for more
information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and affiliated SMA/Model Managers.
Special tax rules may apply to investments in foreign issuers, including ADRs. For example, one or more
issuers in the portfolio may qualify as a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign
corporation for U.S. tax purposes, and non-U.S. withholding tax may be imposed on distributions or gains.
Also, in certain cases, additional U.S. tax reporting may be required. Shares of foreign companies on foreign
exchanges can be purchased and the shares converted to ADRs for client accounts, if the total cost of the
purchase and conversion is more advantageous than directly purchasing the ADRs. To the extent that a
subsidiary of J.P. Morgan assists in the conversion of foreign stock, J.P. Morgan affiliates will receive
additional compensation from the transaction but the total cost of the purchase and conversion should not
exceed the cost if they had originally purchased the ADR in U.S. markets. If the investment in the portfolio
is made through an IRA, any foreign taxes incurred generally would not be creditable against a client’s U.S.
income tax liability. Refer to “Foreign Issuers Risk” for more information.
In choosing to open a wrap account, wrap clients should also be aware that JPMPI offers a variety of
investment strategies that will, at various times, experience higher or lower portfolio “turnover” of investment
13
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.

securities held in the portfolio. Wrap clients investing in a strategy during a period with lower investment
turnover would be paying the same bundled fee as in a period with high turnover.
To the extent that any securities or other assets used to establish a wrap account are sold to bring the
account into alignment with the investment strategy selected by the client, the client will be responsible for
payment of any taxes due. Clients should consult their tax adviser or accountant regarding the tax treatment
of their account under a wrap program.
ITEM 6
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
JPMPI does not receive performance fees or engage in side-by-side management.
ITEM 7
Types of Clients
JPMPI manages assets for the Program, which JPMS offers to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, corporations and other business entities with U.S. addresses. Depending on the strategy,
the Program is available to retirement accounts subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
corresponding Treasury regulations (the “Code”).
JPMS has established account minimum requirements for client accounts, which vary based on the
investment strategy. Minimums are subject to waiver or reduction in JPMS’ discretion and are waived for
certain client accounts on occasion. If an account falls below the Program minimum, JPMS can terminate
such account at its discretion. Refer to the JPMS Form ADV, Part 2A for details about minimums.
To open or maintain an account, clients are required to enter into an investment advisory agreement with
JPMS that stipulates the terms under which JPMS (and other investment advisers to which it delegates
investment discretion) is authorized to act on behalf of the client to manage the assets listed in the
agreement.
Participation in the Program generally requires a minimum $10,000 investment and currently, depending
on the investment strategy selected by the client, the minimum investment can range from $10,000 to
$2,000,000. For more information, please review the JPMS Form ADV, Part 2A.

ITEM 8
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A.
Method of Analysis
JPMPI utilizes different methods of analysis that are tailored for each of the investment strategies it offers
its clients. Refer to Item 4.B above for a description of JPMPI services to the Program. Set forth below are
the primary methods of analysis that JPMPI utilizes in formulating investment advice or managing assets.
Investment Strategies
Refer to Item 4.B above for information about investment strategies.
Research Services
The manager solutions and operational due diligence teams of JPMPI or its affiliates conduct due diligence
of the Funds and SMA/Model Managers that are available for use, as applicable. The manager solutions
team is responsible for researching and selecting Funds and SMA/Model Managers, and for subjecting
them to a review process. The due diligence process is designed to subject both JPMIM and non–J.P.
Morgan investment strategies to the same process; however, please refer to below under “Review of
Program” about JPMPI strategies.
The manager solutions team applies its discretion when reviewing the Funds and SMA/Model Managers
and is not required to apply all factors equally to each Fund in the search universe. J.P. Morgan maintains
certain capacity limitations on investment positions in non–J.P. Morgan Funds due to liquidity concerns,
regulatory requirements, and related internal policies. In circumstances where these limitations mean that
JPMPI would not be able to invest all desired client assets in a particular non–J.P. Morgan Fund, the
manager solutions team will likely recommend a J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund. The manager solutions team
will begin the search process by defining an applicable universe of investment strategies, which typically
will include J.P. Morgan investment strategies when there is one in the desired asset class. The manager
solutions team utilizes both quantitative and qualitative assessments during its initial review process.
Once a Fund or SMA/Model Manager has been identified during the initial review process, the operational
due diligence team will be consulted to conduct its initial review. The operational due diligence team is
responsible for the review of the Fund’s or SMA/Model Manager’s infrastructure from a non-investment
perspective. This review includes the organizational structure, trade life-cycle, legal/compliance oversight,
information security, and systems infrastructure.
The manager solutions team in conjunction with the operational due diligence team then makes a formal
presentation recommending particular Funds and SMA/Model Managers, as applicable, to an internal
governance committee, which is responsible for approving or rejecting them (refer to “Initial Strategy Review
and Approval” below). The manager solutions and operational due diligence teams are also responsible for
monitoring and re-evaluating approved Funds and SMA/Model Managers, as applicable, as part of its
ongoing review process (refer to “Ongoing Review of Approved Strategies” below).
15
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
As part of the due diligence process, the manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates applies an
eligibility framework that establishes a sustainable investing minimum criteria for determining the universe
of strategies offered to clients. Strategies that satisfy the sustainable investing eligibility criteria also are
subject to the same due diligence and performance review process as all other strategies. Accordingly,
these strategies can be selected by J.P. Morgan, in its discretion and as appropriate, for inclusion in any
client portfolio.
Initial Strategy Review and Approval
The internal governance committee considers the formal presentation from the manager solutions and
operational due diligence teams and approves or rejects new Funds and SMA/Model Managers, as
applicable, to be made available for JPMPI’s use in the Program. The internal governance committee review
and approval process is generally the same for J.P. Morgan and non–J.P. Morgan investment strategies,
as further described above under “Research Process.”
Ongoing Review of Approved Strategies
An internal governance committee is responsible for making decisions to maintain Funds and SMA/Model
Managers, as applicable, as approved and available for the Program. This committee considers analysis
and recommendations from the manager solutions and operational due diligence teams. From time to time,
this internal governance committee may place them on probation, or terminate them as part of its ongoing
monitoring and oversight responsibilities. The internal governance committee review process is generally
the same for J.P. Morgan and non–J.P. Morgan investment strategies, as further described above under
“Research Process.” If a Fund or SMA/Model Manager that is in the Program is placed on probation, during
the probation period, the manager solutions and operational due diligence teams will continue to review the
Fund or SMA/Model Manager.
In addition, JPMPI may be limited from making additional purchases of a Fund due to capacity
considerations.
Review of Program
JPMPI’s strategies are subject to a separate though similar review process incorporating similar quantitative
and qualitative assessments as described above under “Research Process,” and implemented by an
internal governance committee that provides ongoing oversight of the Program to review compliance with
strategy-specific guidelines and metrics. However, the JPMPI strategies review process does not include a
search process to identify a universe and core peer set of strategies from which to select. From time to
time, this governance committee may place the Program on probation, or terminate it as part of the
committee’s ongoing monitoring and oversight responsibilities. This committee considers analyses and
recommendations from an internal due diligence team separate from the manager solutions team.

File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Additional Research Services – Other JPMS Advisory Programs
JPMS has separately engaged JPMPI to perform research services for other JPMS advisory programs.
The research services that JPMPI performs for JPMS include: (1) recommending strategies available for
inclusion in the advisory programs to an internal governance committee that is responsible for approving or
rejecting them; (2) ongoing review of the strategies; and (3) determining as appropriate whether certain
strategies should be placed on probation or terminated.
Certain strategies offered in other JPMS advisory programs are managed by affiliated portfolio managers,
including JPMIM, and unaffiliated portfolio managers. JPMPI uses its manager solutions and operational
due diligence teams to provide research services. In providing research services for the aforementioned
programs, JPMPI expects to generally follow a similar process to the one described above under “Research
Process.”
The research services JPMPI provides to JPMS are not tailored to clients of the other JPMS advisory
programs. JPMPI is solely responsible for selecting the strategies to be made available in the applicable
program, based upon the information and recommendations provided by the manager solutions and
operational due diligence teams of JPMPI or its affiliates and such other information and resources that
JPMS deems appropriate.
JPMPI has an incentive to recommend its affiliated investment strategies for approval in the J.P. Morgan
advisory programs because J.P. Morgan receives more overall revenue when these strategies are chosen
by clients (except for the Six Circles Funds). Similarly, with respect to manager termination, JPMPI has a
greater incentive to terminate unaffiliated third-party managers from the advisory programs, particularly
where the manager’s strategy is similar to one offered by JPMIM.
Core Solutions Investment Process
JPMPI is responsible for determining asset allocation, selecting Funds and SMA/Model Managers,
determining portfolio construction, and evaluating investment strategies on an ongoing basis subject to
oversight by JPMS.
Asset Allocation Process
JPMPI is responsible for establishing and updating the overall strategic asset allocations for the investment
strategies, as well as the tactical asset allocations. This process includes the use of internal committee(s).
These asset allocations generally are the overall basis for the process described below. The JPMPI
personnel who perform these functions are shared with JPMCB and perform substantially similar services
for other clients. JPMPI periodically reviews the asset allocation and performance of the investment
strategies with JPMS.
17
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Portfolio Construction
From the pool of approved strategies, JPMPI selects the combination of Funds and SMA/Model Managers,
as applicable, that, in its view, fit each investment strategy’s asset allocation goals and investment
objectives. In making portfolio construction decisions, JPMPI will consider and is permitted to prefer J.P.
Morgan Affiliated Funds, including the Six Circles Funds, and affiliated SMA/Model Managers, as
applicable.
JPMPI also may, for portfolio construction reasons, remove a Fund or SMA/Model Manager from the
Program.
If a Fund or SMA/Model Manager that is in the Program is placed on probation, it will generally continue to
be held in client accounts, but generally JPMPI may not direct new purchases of such Fund or SMA/Model
Manager for client accounts until the Fund or SMA/Model Manager is removed from probation, though
capital gains can be reinvested while on probation. Generally, a Fund or SMA/Model Manager that is
terminated will be sold.
If JPMPI removes a Fund or SMA/Model Manager, the assets held in client accounts will be sold and
replaced, when appropriate, with another Fund or SMA/Model Manager that is available for use in the
Program.
Core Solutions - Allocation to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
JPMPI can allocate a portion of the assets in the Program to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. That portion
varies depending on market or other conditions. There are multiple models in each of the investment
strategies available through Core Solutions in the Program. Certain models invest only in mutual funds and
ETFs, while other models utilize SMA/Model Managers and/or Liquid Alternative Funds. Refer to “Use of
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B
below for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and affiliated Model Managers.
The following charts illustrate, as of the date indicated, the allocation of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
(excluding Six Circles Funds), non–J.P. Morgan Funds, Six Circles Funds, and J.P. Morgan cash for Core
Solutions in the Program taxable and retirement models. The charts do not reflect models that elect not to
use J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds, models that utilize Liquid Alternative Funds (other than the Aggressive
Growth investment strategy because all Aggressive Growth investment strategies include Liquid Alternative
Funds), Model Managers, or municipal fixed income elections.

March 27, 2026
non–J.P. Morgan Funds represented in any particular client’s account, and may change without notice.
JPMPI is not required to adhere to the illustrative allocations pictured here. The allocations in any particular
client’s account will depend on, among other things, the investment strategy selected, client elections (such
as non–J.P. Morgan Funds and unaffiliated SMA/Model Managers), client asset level, reasonable
restrictions placed by clients on the management of an account, and other factors. Each client should review
their account opening documentation, confirmations, and quarterly and annual statements for more
information about the actual allocation in the client’s account.
Multi-Manager Strategies Investment Process
JPMPI, as portfolio manager of the Multi-Manager Strategies, is responsible for portfolio construction,
including selecting Funds and Model Managers for these Strategies. For the Multi-Manager Strategies,
JPMPI expects to generally follow a similar process as the one described under “Portfolio Construction”
above.
Multi-Manager Strategies - Allocation to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
JPMPI can allocate a portion of the assets in Multi-Manager Strategies to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. That
portion varies depending on market or other conditions. There are multiple investment strategies available
in the Multi-Manager Strategies. Certain investment strategies invest only in mutual funds and ETFs, while
other investment strategies can also utilize Model Managers. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on
the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and affiliated Model Managers.
The following chart illustrates, as of the date indicated, the allocation of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds

The prior composition of investment strategies in Multi-Manager Strategies is not intended to predict the
future composition of investment strategies or use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds in Multi-Manager
Strategies. Allocations shown here are illustrative only, do not necessarily represent actual use of J.P.
Morgan Affiliated Funds and non–J.P. Morgan Funds represented in any particular client’s account, and
may change without notice. JPMPI is not required to adhere to the illustrative allocations pictured here. The
allocations in any particular client’s account will depend on, among other things, the investment strategy
selected, client elections, client asset level, reasonable restrictions placed by clients on the management
of an account, and other factors. Each client should review their account opening documentation,
confirmations, and quarterly and annual statements for more information about the actual allocation in the
client’s account.
Guided Accounts Investment Process
JPMPI provides recommendations to JPMS regarding allocation guidelines and risk parameters for each
Guided Account Model. Clients designate the specific asset allocation percentage desired for each asset
class (within the approved asset allocation ranges). Clients also select one or more Funds or SMA/Model
Managers in each asset class they select for their own accounts from those Funds or SMA/Model Managers
available in Guided Account. JPMPI’s investment activities in Guided Accounts are subject to oversight by
JPMS. An internal governance committee provides oversight of the Program tailored to its non-discretionary
nature, which includes reviewing allocation guidelines and risk parameters.
In providing recommendations to JPMS regarding allocation guidelines and risk parameters for each
Guided Account Model, as well as recommending the Funds and SMA/Model Managers available through
21
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
the Program using its research, JPMPI considers J.P. Morgan’s overall long-term capital markets
assumptions and seeks to balance risk and return over a long-term horizon, while providing clients with
flexibility to achieve their desired asset allocations.
JPMS determines the number of Funds and SMA/Model Managers in an asset class and the overall design
of Guided Account Models. Periodically, JPMPI reviews with JPMS changes to the Guided Account
composition, such as Fund and SMA/Model Manager additions, terminations, replacements, and
probations.
With respect to “Portfolio Construction,” clients select one or more Funds or SMA/Model Managers in each
asset class they select for their own accounts from the Funds or SMA/Model Managers available in Guided
Account. JPMPI may change the recommended allocation guidelines and risk parameters for a Guided
Account Model. JPMS will notify affected clients of the changes and perform any re-balancing.
In Guided Accounts, if a Fund or SMA/Model Manager has been terminated from the Program, all new and
additional purchases and rebalances allocated to the terminated Fund or SMA/Model Manager will be
allocated to cash. The Fund or SMA/Model Manager held in Program accounts will be sold and replaced
with another Fund or SMA/Model Manager in the same asset class or the proceeds will be allocated to
cash. When evaluating replacement Funds or SMA/Model Managers, JPMPI is expected to consider the
same factors described above and will notify JPMS of the replacement Fund or SMA/Model Manager. JPMS
will notify affected clients in writing of the Fund’s or SMA/Model Manager’s termination in the Guided
Account and of the recommended replacement Fund or SMA/Model Manager for the Program account
assets invested in the terminated Fund or SMA/Model Manager. If clients do not select an alternative
replacement Fund or SMA/Model Manager within the requested time frame, the clients assets will
automatically be re-invested into the designated replacement Fund or SMA/Model Manager. A client who
does not approve of the replacement Fund or SMA/Model Manager must select an alternative Fund or
SMA/Model Manager. Removal and replacement of Funds or SMA/Model Manager can cause income tax
consequences and/or penalties. At times, the alternative Fund or SMA/Model Manager will be a J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Fund or SMA/Model Manager.
The manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates will determine, when appropriate, that a Fund or
SMA/Model Manager be put on probation. A Fund or SMA/Model Manager on probation generally will not
be made available by JPMS to new Guided Account clients. Existing Guided Account clients may continue
to hold shares and purchase additional shares of a Fund or SMA/Model Manager on probation. If a Fund
or SMA/Model Manager on probation is terminated, it will be replaced as described above.

B.
Material, Significant, or Unusual Risks Relating to Investment Strategies
Client accounts will generally be invested in Funds and/or individual securities. The individual securities
held in client accounts and by Funds generally will include U.S. or foreign equity or fixed income securities.
The following risks are the primary risks associated with the investment strategies offered by JPMPI, as
well as the possible risks applicable to client accounts. However, it is impossible to identify all of the risks
associated with investing and the particular risks applicable to a client account will depend on the nature of
the account, its investment strategy or strategies and the types of securities held. For example, if a client’s
investment strategy includes equity investments, the client should review the subsection “Risks that Apply
Primarily to Equity Investments,” and, if the investment strategy includes fixed income securities, the client
should review the subsection “Risks that Apply Primarily to Fixed Income Investments.” The “General Risks”
subsection generally applies to the Program and investment strategies. The subsection “Other
Miscellaneous Portfolio Risks” contains various other portfolio risks that may or may not apply to an account
depending on the nature of an account’s investment strategy and the securities held in the client account.
The subsection “Fund Risks” includes risks that are particularly applicable to Funds. However, depending
on a Fund’s investment strategy, the risks found in the other subsections may be applicable to the Fund.
While JPMPI seeks to manage the accounts and investment strategies so that risks are appropriate to the
strategy, it is often impossible or not desirable to fully mitigate risks. Any investment includes the risk of loss
and there can be no guarantee that a particular level of return will be achieved. Clients should understand
that they could lose some or all of their investment and should be prepared to bear the risk of such potential
losses. Clients should not rely solely on the descriptions provided below. Clients should carefully read all
applicable informational materials and governing documents prior to selecting a strategy. Clients are urged
to ask questions regarding risk factors applicable to a particular strategy or investment product, read all
product-specific risk disclosures, and determine whether a particular strategy is suitable for their account
in light of their specific circumstances, investment objectives, and financial situation.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. The investment
performance and success of any particular investment cannot be predicted or guaranteed, and the
value of a client’s investments will fluctuate due to market conditions and other factors.
Investments are subject to various risks, including but not limited to market, liquidity, currency,
economic, and political risks, and will not necessarily be profitable. Past performance of
investments is not indicative of future performance.
I. General Risks
Many of the risks defined below apply to assets within the Program accounts or the Fund or SMA/Model
Manager.
23
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
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 any one strategy may underperform in comparison to
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, U.S.
government debt ceiling negotiations, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain
disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related
geopolitical events. The U.S. and other governments may renegotiate their global trade relationships and
impose or threaten to impose significant import tariffs. The implementation of tariffs, trade restrictions,
currency controls, or similar measures (including retaliatory actions) could result in price volatility and
overall declines in U.S. and global investment markets. In addition, the value of a strategy’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
or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
The effects of a global event to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant
negative impact on the performance of the separately managed accounts and J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund
investments, increase separately managed account and fund volatility, exacerbate preexisting political,
social, and economic risks to separately managed accounts and J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds, 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 a global
event that affect the instruments in which a separately managed account or J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on such
account or fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any global event and the extent to which
the associated conditions and governmental responses impact a separately managed account or J.P.
Morgan Affiliated Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to
accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Valuation Risk
The net asset value of a portfolio as of a particular date may be materially greater than or less than its net
asset value that would be determined if a portfolio’s investments were to be liquidated as of such date. For
example, if a portfolio was required to sell a certain asset or all or a substantial portion of its assets on a
particular date, the actual price that a portfolio would realize upon the disposition of such asset or assets
could be materially less than the value of such asset or assets as reflected in the net asset value of a
portfolio. Volatile market conditions could also cause reduced liquidity in the market for certain assets,
which could result in liquidation values that are materially less than the values of such assets as reflected
in the net asset value of a portfolio.
24
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Volatility Risk
The prices of a portfolio’s investments can be highly volatile. Price movements of assets are influenced by,
among other things, interest rates, general economic conditions, the condition of the financial markets,
developments or trends in any particular industry, the financial condition of the issuers of such assets,
changing supply and demand relationships, programs and policies of governments, and national and
international political and economic events and policies.
Regulatory Risk
There have been legislative, tax, and regulatory changes and proposed changes that may apply to the
activities of JPMPI that may require legal, tax and regulatory changes, including requirements to provide
additional information pertaining to a client account to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or other taxing
authorities. Regulatory changes and restrictions imposed by regulators, self-regulatory organizations and
exchanges vary from country to country and may affect the value of client investments and their ability to
pursue their investment strategies. Any such rules, regulations and other changes, and any uncertainty in
respect of their implementation, may result in increased costs, reduced profit margins and reduced
investment and trading opportunities, all of which would negatively impact performance.
Key Personnel Risk
If one or more key individuals become unavailable to JPMPI, including any of the portfolio managers of an
investment strategy, who are important to the management of the portfolio’s assets, the portfolio could suffer
material adverse effects, including substantial share redemptions that could require the portfolio to sell
portfolio securities at times when markets are not favorable.
Risks Associated with the Use of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) Tools
J.P. Morgan relies on programs and systems that utilize AI, machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and
other data science technologies (“AI Tools”). AI Tools are highly complex, and may be flawed, hallucinate,
reflect biases included in the data on which such tools are trained, be of poor quality, lack transparency,
infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or be otherwise harmful. J.P. Morgan typically
incorporates human oversight including through the standards and policies that define the governance
framework, to reduce the risk of acting on potentially defective outputs. AI Tools present Data Sources Risk,
Cybersecurity Risk, and Model Risk (as described below). The U.S. and global legal and regulatory
environment relating to the use of AI Tools is uncertain and rapidly evolving, and could require changes in
JPMPI’s implementation of AI Tools and increase compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance. Further,

J.P. Morgan uses AI Tools developed by third parties, and J.P. Morgan may have limited visibility over the
accuracy and completeness of such AI Tools.
Data Sources Risk
Although J.P. Morgan obtains data, including alternative data, and information from third-party sources that
it considers to be reliable, J.P. Morgan does not warrant or guarantee the availability, accuracy, timeliness
and/or completeness of any data or information provided by these sources. J.P. Morgan has controls for
certain data, that, among other things, consider the representations of such third parties with regard to the
provision of data in compliance with applicable laws. J.P. Morgan does not make any express or implied
warranties of any kind with respect to such third-party data. J.P. Morgan shall not have any liability for any
errors or omissions in connection with any data obtained from third-party sources.
J.P. Morgan often uses data feeds from a number of sources. If such data feeds or formats become
corrupted, compromised, or discontinued in any material manner, or become undeliverable or inaccessible
in a timely manner, the tool utilizing the data will be unable to properly function or its operation may be
adversely impacted. The tool’s ability to use the data may also be adversely impacted by any change in the
format of data delivered or acquired by the tools. The timeliness and quality of a third party’s data may be
compromised for a variety of reasons, some of which are outside of the control of J.P. Morgan and the third-
party data provider. A tool’s ability to process data may also be adversely affected if J.P. Morgan
experiences any disruptions to its computing resources or network connections, including disruption of
cloud-based computing resources.
Cybersecurity Risk
As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, J.P. Morgan has become
more susceptible to operational and financial risks associated with cybersecurity, including: theft, loss,
misuse, fraud, improper release, corruption and destruction of, or unauthorized access to, confidential,
personal, or highly restricted data relating to J.P. Morgan and its clients, and compromises or failures to
systems, networks, devices and applications, including but not limited to AI Tools and cloud-based
computing resources relating to the operations of J.P. Morgan and its service providers. Cybersecurity risks
can result in financial losses to J.P. Morgan and its clients; the inability of J.P. Morgan to transact business
with its clients; delays or mistakes in materials provided to clients; the inability to process transactions with
clients or other parties; violations of privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, and reputational
damage; and compliance and remediation costs, legal fees and other expenses. J.P. Morgan’s service
providers (including any sub-advisers, administrators, transfer agents, and custodians or their agents),
financial intermediaries, the companies in which client accounts and funds invest, and parties with which
J.P. Morgan engages in portfolio or other transactions also may be adversely impacted by cybersecurity
risks in their own businesses, which could result in losses to J.P. Morgan or its clients. While measures
have been developed that are designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity, there is no
guarantee that those measures will be effective, particularly since J.P. Morgan does not directly control the
cybersecurity defenses or plans of its service providers, financial intermediaries and companies in which
26
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.

March 27, 2026
they invest or with which they do business. Use of AI Tools may lead to increased risks of cyberattacks or
data breaches and the ability to launch more automated, targeted, and coordinated attacks, due to the
vulnerability of AI technology to cybersecurity threats.
Model Risk
Some strategies can include the use of various proprietary quantitative or investment models. Investments
selected using models may perform differently than expected as a result of changes from the factors’
historical – and predicted future – trends, and technical issues in the implementation of the models,
including, for example, issues with data feeds. Moreover, the effectiveness of a model may diminish over
time, including as a result of changes in the market and/or changes in the behavior of other market
participants. A model’s return mapping is based partially on historical data regarding particular economic
factors and securities prices. The operation of a model, similar to other fundamental, active investment
processes, may result in negative performance, including returns that deviate materially from historical
performance, both actual and pro-forma. For a model-driven investment process – and again similar to
other, fundamental, and active investment processes, there is no guarantee that the use of models will
result in effective investment outcomes for clients.
Intellectual Property and Technology Risks Involved in International Operations
There can be risks to technology and intellectual property that can result from conducting business outside
the United States. This is particularly true in jurisdictions that do not have comparable levels of protection
of corporate proprietary information and assets such as intellectual property, trademarks, trade secrets,
know-how and customer information and records. As a result, JPMPI can be more susceptible to potential
theft or compromise of data, technology and intellectual property from a myriad of sources, including direct
cyber intrusions or more indirect routes such as companies being required to compromise protections or
yield rights to technology, data or intellectual property in order to conduct business in a foreign jurisdiction.
II. Risks that Apply Primarily to Equity Investments
Equity Securities Risk
Strategies that invest in equity securities (such as stocks), or when selecting Funds or SMA/Model
Managers that invest in equity securities, such strategies will be more or less volatile and carry more risks
than some other forms of investment. 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 will generally result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries
selected for a 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 an account or a Fund invests) may decline over
short or extended periods of time. When the value of an account or the Fund’s securities goes down, your
investment in that Fund decreases in value.
27

File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Growth Investing Risk
When investing in growth equity securities, or when selecting Funds or SMA/Model Managers that invest
in growth equity securities, the portfolio manager attempts to identify companies that it believes will
experience rapid earnings growth relative to value or other types of stocks. The value of these stocks
generally is much more sensitive to current or expected earnings than stocks of other types of companies.
Short-term events, such as a failure to meet industry earnings expectations, can cause dramatic decreases
in the growth stock price compared to other types of stock. Growth stocks generally trade at higher
multiples of current earnings compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus
potentially greater declines in value.
Value Investing Risk
Value investing attempts to identify companies that according to the portfolio manager’s estimate of their
true worth, are undervalued, or attractively valued. The portfolio manager selects stocks at prices that it
believes are temporarily low relative to factors such as the company’s earnings, cash flow or dividends. A
value stock can decrease in price or not increase in price as anticipated by the portfolio manager if other
investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause
the stock price to increase do not occur.
Smaller Companies Risk
Certain strategies, Funds or SMA/Model Managers invest in securities of smaller companies. Investments
in smaller companies are generally riskier than investments in larger companies. The securities of smaller
companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies.
Securities of smaller companies tend to be less liquid than securities of larger companies. In addition, small
companies are generally more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, the
changes in value of their securities may be more sudden or erratic than in large capitalization companies,
especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or
financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular
economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected
and frequent decreases in the value of an account’s investments. Finally, emerging companies in certain
sectors may not be profitable and may not realize earning profits in the foreseeable future.

III. Risks that Apply Primarily to Fixed Income Investments
Interest Rate Risk
“Interest rate risk” refers to the risk associated with market changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes
may affect the value of a debt instrument indirectly (especially in the case of fixed rate securities) and
directly (especially in the case of instruments whose rates are adjustable). Fixed rate securities increase or
decrease in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments
generally declines. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of these investments generally increases.
Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater
fluctuations in value. Variable and floating rate (i.e., adjustable) securities are generally less sensitive to
interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, but the value of variable and floating rate securities may
decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can
cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include governmental and tax policies, central bank monetary
policy (such as an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve), domestic and international economic and
political considerations, fiscal deficits, trade surpluses or deficits, regulatory requirements, rising inflation
rates, general economic conditions, and other factors beyond the control of JPMPI. It is difficult to accurately
predict the pace at which interest rates will change, or the timing, frequency or magnitude of any such
changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and
reduced liquidity for securities.
Interest rate sensitivity is generally more pronounced and less predictable in instruments with uncertain
payment or prepayment schedules. This risk will be greater for long-term securities than for short-term
securities. While for certain accounts JPMPI may from time to time seek to hedge interest rate risks
(including through investments in treasury securities or derivative instruments), there is no assurance that
such measures, to the extent implemented, will be effective.
Credit Risk
There is a risk that issuers and/or counterparties will not make payments on securities and instruments
when due or will default completely. Such default could result in losses. In addition, the credit quality of
securities and instruments may be lowered if an issuer’s or a counterparty’s financial condition changes.
Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security or instrument, affect liquidity and
make it difficult to sell the security or instrument. Certain strategies may invest in securities or instruments
that are rated in the lowest investment grade category. Such securities or instruments are also considered
to have speculative characteristics similar to high yield securities, and issuers or counterparties of such
securities or instruments are more vulnerable to changes in economic conditions than issuers or
counterparties of higher grade securities or instruments. Prices of fixed income securities will be adversely
affected, and credit spreads will increase if any of the issuers of or counterparties to such investments are
subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spread risk is the risk that
economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration of an issuer may lead to an
29
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
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.
Government Securities Risk
Some strategies invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and
instrumentalities (such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal
National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie
Mac)). U.S. government securities are subject to General Market Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Credit Risk.
Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or 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. 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 principal and interest.
Securities issued by U.S. government–related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are
not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S.
government will provide financial support.
High Yield Securities Risk
Certain strategies invest in securities and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly
leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are
considered speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and
economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity.
Equity Investment Conversion Risk
A non-equity investment, such as a convertible debt obligation, may convert to an equity security.
Alternatively, equity securities may be acquired in connection with a restructuring event related to non-
equity investments. An investor may be unable to liquidate the equity investment at an advantageous time
from a pricing standpoint.
Municipal Obligations Risk
The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes
in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal
payments when due. A number of municipalities have had significant financial problems recently, and these
and other municipalities could, potentially, continue to experience significant financial problems resulting
from lower tax revenues and/or decreased aid from state and local governments in the event of an economic
downturn. Under some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless the state
legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose. Some securities, including municipal lease
obligations, carry additional risks. For example, they may be difficult to trade or interest payments may be
tied only to a specific stream of revenue.
30
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods
of economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower
property tax collections as a result of lower home values, lower sales tax revenue as a result of consumers
cutting back spending, and lower income tax revenue as a result of a higher unemployment rate. In addition,
since some municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk
to an investor could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the
credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a
national rating organization. If such events were to occur, the value of the security could decrease or the
value could be lost entirely, and it may be difficult or impossible for an investor to sell the security at the
time and at the price that normally prevails in the market.
Interest on municipal bonds is generally exempt from federal income tax. The interest payments may also
be exempt from state and local taxes if you reside in the state where the bond is issued. If a client invests
in municipal bonds in a state other than the state of the client’s residence, the client may not receive the
state income tax benefits. Additionally, the interest rate for municipal bonds is usually lower than on taxable
fixed income securities such as corporate bonds. Clients investing in municipal bonds should consider
consulting a tax professional to discuss the tax implications of investing in municipal bonds, including the
possibility that the bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and may not be eligible for
state income tax benefits.
Credit Spread Risk
Credit spread risk is the risk that a change in credit spreads will adversely affect the value of an investment.
Even when a market exists, there may be a substantial credit spread, which is the difference in yield
between two fixed income instruments that have similar maturity but different credit quality. The value of
fixed income instruments generally moves in the opposite direction of credit spreads. Values decrease when
credit spreads widen and increase when credit spreads narrow.
Call Risk
Declining interest rates may cause issuers to call their bonds in order to sell new bonds paying lower
interest rates. The bond’s principal is repaid early, but the investor is left unable to find a similar bond with
as attractive a yield.
Reinvestment Risk
Investors in callable bonds may not receive the bond’s original coupon rate for the entire term of the bond,
and they may be unable to find an equivalent investment paying rates as high as the original rate. In
addition, once the call date has been reached, the stream of a callable bond’s interest payments is
uncertain and any appreciation in the market value of the bond may not rise above the call price.
31
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Prepayment and Extension Risk
Callable bonds and asset-backed securities (a pool of fixed income securities backed by a package of
assets, including, but not limited to, mortgages, automobile loans and credit card receivables) are also
subject to prepayment and extension risk. A decline in interest rates and other factors may result in
unexpected prepayment of the underlying obligations, possibly causing a decline in the value of the
investment and reinvestment at lower interest rates. An increase in interest rates and other factors may
extend the life of such a security because the prepayments do not occur as expected, possibly causing a
decline in the value of the investment. Since JPMPI’s fees apply to the total market value of the assets
under management, in a low interest rate environment the net investment return on fixed income
investments could be negative.
Income Risk
An account’s income will decline when interest rates fall if it holds a significant portion of short duration
securities and/or securities that have floating or variable interest rates. Further, an account’s income could
decline if it invests in lower-yielding bonds, as bonds in the portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called.
IV. Other Miscellaneous Risks
Liquidity Risk
Investments in some equity and privately placed securities, structured notes or other instruments can be
difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the sale of these illiquid securities at an advantageous price
or when desired. A lack of liquidity can also cause the value of investments to decline and the illiquid
investments can also be difficult to value.
Additionally, there may be no market for a fixed income instrument, and the holder may not be able to sell
the security at the desired time or price. Even when a market exists, there may be a substantial difference
between the secondary market bid and ask prices for a fixed income instrument.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk
Certain strategies engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher
transaction costs, and the recognition that capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital
gains that are generally taxable as ordinary income.
Derivatives Risk
Funds in a client portfolio may use derivatives. Derivatives, including forward currency contracts, futures,
options and commodity-linked derivatives and swaps, may be riskier than other types of investments
because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions, and could result in
losses that significantly exceed the investor’s original investment in the derivative. Many derivatives create
leverage thereby causing a portfolio to be more volatile than it would have been if it had not been exposed
to such derivatives. Derivatives also expose a portfolio to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative
32
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
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, an investor does not have a claim on the reference assets and is
subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so an investor may not
realize the intended benefits. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting
ability to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose a portfolio to losses. Additionally, certain
derivatives are subject to position limits imposed by regulators, and JPMPI will not be able to obtain
additional exposure if these limits are reached. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative
may not correlate as expected with what is being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives
expose an investor to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.
Geographic and Sector Focus Risk
Certain strategies and funds concentrate their investments in a region, small group of countries, an industry
or economic sector, and as a result, the value of the portfolio will generally be subject to greater volatility
than a more geographically or sector diversified portfolio. Investments in issuers within a country, state,
geographic region, industry or economic sector that experiences adverse economic, business, political
conditions or other concerns will impact the value of such a portfolio more than if the portfolio’s investments
were not so concentrated. A change in the value of a single investment within the portfolio may affect the
overall value of the portfolio and may cause greater losses than it would in a portfolio that holds more
diversified investments.
Diversification Risk
JPMPI’s asset allocation and Model Portfolio construction processes assume that diversification is
beneficial. This concept is a generally accepted investment principle, although no amount of diversification
can eliminate investment risk, and the investment returns of a diversified portfolio may be lower than a more
concentrated portfolio or a single investment over a similar period.
Focused Portfolio Risk
A focused portfolio investment strategy’s portfolio will generally have more volatility risk than a strategy
that invests in securities of a greater number because changes in the value of an individual security will
have a more significant effect, either negative or positive, on the portfolio’s value. To the extent that the
portfolio invests its assets in fewer securities, the portfolio is subject to greater risk of loss if any of those
securities lose value.
Counterparty Risk
Transactions, including but not limited to certain derivative transactions, covered agency transactions, and
over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions, entered into directly with a counterparty are subject to the risk that
the counterparty will make an error or otherwise fail to perform its obligations in accordance with the agreed
terms and conditions of the transaction which may result in the account sustaining losses including but not
33
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
limited to overdraft charges. In addition, an account may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties
with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange traded or
off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it
engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by
transacting through a clearing house, might not be available in connection with OTC transactions.
Therefore, in those instances in which an account enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject
to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain
losses. This includes where accounts enter into uncollateralized covered agency transactions and
derivatives transactions.
Currency Risk
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of certain portfolio securities. Generally,
when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by
that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may
fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates.
Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact
on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as
regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the
volatility of a portfolio.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk
Investments in securities of foreign issuers denominated in foreign currencies are subject to risks in
addition to the risks of securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil
conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by
the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transactions costs, delayed
settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, liquidity risks, and less stringent investor protection
and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. 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,” which may have relatively unstable governments and less-established
market economies than those of developed countries. Emerging markets may face greater social,
economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. These risks make emerging markets market securities
more volatile and less liquid than securities issued in more developed countries.
LIBOR Discontinuance Risk
The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was intended to represent the rate at which contributing
banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. After the global
financial crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed
based on a number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no
34
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
longer be representative of the underlying markets. New or alternative reference rates have since been
used in place of LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate (“SOFR,” which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of U.S.
dollar overnight borrowings collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate
(“SONIA,” which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate
paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a
result of the benchmark reforms, publication of all LIBOR settings has ceased, and JPMPI and the funds
and accounts it manages have generally transitioned to successor or alternative reference rates as
necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most instruments has been completed,
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, which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a fund’s or other
client account’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a
fund’s or other client account’s portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference
rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR to
alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a fund or a client account or their
investments. Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party
market participants, such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain
service providers; no assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a
fund or other client account or their investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in
connection with other IBORs (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that
are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.
Risks That Apply Primarily to ESG/Sustainable Investing Strategies
To the extent a client desires to invest in strategies that incorporate ESG considerations or sustainable
investing, those strategies may include additional risks. ESG or sustainable investing strategies (together,
“ESG Strategies”), including SMAs, mutual funds and ETFs can limit the types and number of investment
opportunities and, as a result, could underperform other strategies that do not have an ESG or sustainable
focus. ESG Strategies can follow different approaches. For example, some ESG Strategies select
companies based on positive ESG characteristics while others may apply screens in order to exclude
particular sectors or industries from a client’s portfolio. Certain strategies focusing on a particular theme or
sector can be more concentrated in particular industries or sectors that share common characteristics and
are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens. Because investing on the basis of
ESG/sustainability criteria can involve qualitative and subjective analysis, there can be no assurance that
the methodology utilized by or determinations made by, J.P. Morgan, or an investment manager or
investment adviser selected by J.P. Morgan, will align with the beliefs or values of the client. Additionally,
other investment managers and investment advisers, including affiliates of JPMPI can have a different
approach to ESG or sustainable investing and can offer ESG Strategies that differ from the ESG Strategies
offered by J.P. Morgan with respect to the same theme or topic. In addition to the ESG Strategies, J.P.
35
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Morgan also offers investment products that utilize ESG criteria in developing the product while seeking to
maximize financial return.
When evaluating investments, an investment manager or investment adviser is dependent upon information
and data that might be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could cause the manager/adviser to
incorrectly assess an investment’s ESG or sustainable attributes. In making investment decisions, J.P.
Morgan uses data and information, including, but not limited to, industry classifications, industry grouping,
ratings, scores and issuer screening provided by third-party data providers, or by a J.P. Morgan–affiliated
service provider. J.P. Morgan does not review, guarantee or validate any third-party data, ratings,
screenings or processes. Such data and information will not have been validated by J.P. Morgan and can
therefore be incomplete or erroneous.
ESG and sustainable investing are not uniformly defined concepts and scores or ratings may vary across
data providers that use similar or different screens based on their process for evaluating ESG
characteristics. Investments identified by J.P. Morgan as demonstrating positive ESG characteristics might
not be the same investments identified by other investment managers in the market that use similar ESG
screens or methodologies. In addition, investments identified as demonstrating positive ESG characteristics
at a particular point in time might not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics across all relevant
metrics or methodologies or on an ongoing basis. ESG or sustainable investing practices differ by asset
class, country, region and industry and are constantly evolving. As a result, a company’s ESG or
sustainability-related practices and J.P. Morgan’s assessment of such practices could change over time.
The ESG or sustainable solutions offered by J.P. Morgan meet our internally developed criteria for inclusion
in the ESG Strategies available to clients, which, where applicable, take into account ESG or sustainable
investing regulations. As part of the due diligence process, the manager solutions team of J.P. Morgan or
its affiliates applies an eligibility framework that establishes a sustainable investing minimum criteria for
determining the universe of strategies offered to clients. Strategies that satisfy the sustainable investing
eligibility criteria also are subject to the same due diligence and performance review process as all other
strategies. Accordingly, these strategies can be selected by the adviser, in its discretion and as appropriate,
for inclusion in any client portfolio.
The evolving nature of sustainable finance regulations and the development of jurisdiction-specific
legislation setting out the regulatory criteria for a “sustainable investment” or “ESG” investment mean that
there is likely to be a difference in the regulatory meaning of such terms. This is already the case in the
European Union where, for example, under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU)
(2019/2088) (“SFDR”) certain criteria must be satisfied in order for an investment to be classified as a
“sustainable investment.” Unless otherwise specified and where permitted by applicable law, any
references to “sustainable investing” or “ESG” in this material are intended as references to our internally
developed criteria only and not to any jurisdiction-specific regulatory definition.

Category Restrictions and Exclusions Risks
Restrictions and exclusions can affect the investment manager’s ability to make investments or take
advantage of opportunities that may be available to clients that do not choose similar restrictions and, as a
result, investment performance could suffer. In order to implement category restrictions, JPMPI may rely on
information about a company, industry classification, industry grouping and/or issuer screening provided by
J.P. Morgan or an affiliated service provider or a third party. Category restrictions aim to screen companies
that engage in certain behaviors or earn revenue derived from a restricted category; however, they do not
exclude all companies with any tie or revenue derived from such restricted category. If a client holds an
investment that is perceived to belong to the restricted category, such security will be sold and could trigger
a taxable event for that client.
Third-party managers or programs may apply category restrictions differently than J.P. Morgan or its
affiliates and use different data, data providers and methodologies; therefore, the selection of restricted
securities and the number of restricted securities may differ in the same category. Category restrictions
require assumptions, opinions and the subjective judgment of a data provider that might not reflect J.P.
Morgan’s views or values and/or the views or values of the client. Further, use of a particular data source
from an organization does not mean that J.P. Morgan endorses all the activities of that organization.
Additionally, data providers will have conflicts of interest when receiving compensation from or providing
services to companies that use or obtain their ratings. JPMPI does not review, guarantee or validate any
third-party data, ratings, screenings or processes. Moreover, issuer screenings and processes to implement
category restrictions are not absolute and could be discontinued or changed at any time, including, but not
limited to, changes to industry sector definitions, parameters, ownership categories, revenue calculations
and estimations that could result in the portfolio holding investments in companies that derive revenue from
the restricted category. If there is a change in the screening methodology or processes used to implement
category restrictions, it could lead to trading in the account, which could trigger a taxable event.
The application of category restrictions varies by asset class. Restrictions are not available for all strategies
and JPMPI or third-party manager can reject a restriction if it deems the restriction to be unreasonable or
not in line with the strategy. The number of restrictions that a client can select are limited based on the
potential impact to the applicable strategy and potential deviation from the strategy’s model. Only those
restrictions that can be applied by JPMPI or a third-party manager will be applied to the client’s portfolio.
Any faith-based restrictions will exclude multiple categories selected by a third-party provider based
generally on the values and norms of such groups; however, such restrictions will not completely represent
or fully align with the client’s values or religious beliefs.
For client portfolios that can hold Funds, the client cannot prohibit or restrict specific securities or types of
securities that are held within any Fund. Category restrictions will not be applied to strategies that invest
only in Funds, nor will they be applied to investments made by Funds, so it is possible that client restrictions
would not have any practical effect on a portfolio comprised primarily of Fund investments.

REITs Risk
The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to similar risks as direct
investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will be influenced by many factors including the
value of the underlying properties or the underlying loans or interests. The underlying loans may be subject
to the risks of default or of prepayments that occur later or earlier than expected and such loans may also
include so-called “subprime” mortgages. The value of these securities will rise and fall in response to many
factors, including economic conditions, the demand for rental property, interest rates and, with respect to
REITs, the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In particular, the value of these securities
may decline when interest rates rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the
management of the underlying properties. There is no public trading market for private or public non-listed
REITs; therefore, such REITs may be less illiquid than publicly listed REITs and other types of equity
securities.
Infrastructure Investments Risk
Investing in infrastructure and infrastructure-related assets is subject to a variety of risks, including: the
burdens of ownership of infrastructure; local, national, and international economic conditions; the supply
and demand for services from and access to infrastructure; the financial condition of users and suppliers of
infrastructure assets; risks related to construction, regulatory requirements, labor actions, health and safety
matters, government contracts, operating and technical needs, capital expenditures, demand and user
conflicts, bypass attempts, strategic assets, changes in interest rates, and the availability of funds that may
render the purchase, sale or refinancing of infrastructure assets difficult or impracticable; troubled
infrastructure assets; changes in environmental laws and regulations, and planning laws and other
governmental rules; regulatory risks; ESG-related risks of environmental claims arising in respect of
infrastructure acquired with undisclosed or unknown environmental problems or as to which inadequate
reserves have been established; changes in energy prices; changes in fiscal and monetary policies;
negative developments in the economy that depress travel; changes in market and societal sentiment
toward traditional energy infrastructure or otherwise the growth in demand, globally and by jurisdiction, for
renewable and other alternative energy sources; climate-related transition risk; stranded asset risk; political
risk; commodity price risk; uninsured casualties; force majeure acts, wars/conflicts, terrorist events,
cyberattacks, pandemics and/or public health emergencies; under-insured or uninsurable losses; stability
of local and/or global financial system; and other factors that are beyond the reasonable control of the
investor and its advisers. Many of these factors could cause fluctuations in usage, expenses, and revenues,
causing the value of infrastructure and infrastructure-related investments to decline and negatively affect
the collective returns on such investments.

V. Fund Risks
Investment in Funds
An investment in Funds is subject to the risks associated with the investment program of the particular
Fund, as outlined in Sections I-IV above. The investment performance of client accounts that implement
their strategies by investing in underlying Funds is directly related to the performance of the underlying
Funds. There is no assurance that the underlying Funds will achieve their investment objectives. Clients
will bear their proportionate share of the underlying Funds’ expenses.
Fund Liquidity Risk
A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market
developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The
liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors,
such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability
to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under
unfavorable conditions, can increase the volatility of a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share. Liquidity
risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable
time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or
other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of
traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market.
The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances
where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than
normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
Fund Management Risk
A Fund is subject to management risk if it is actively managed because it does not seek to replicate the
performance of a specified index. Each Fund manager and its portfolio managers will utilize proprietary
investment processes, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there can be no
guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory, or tax
developments may affect the investment techniques available to the fund managers in connection with
managing a Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk
If a 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.

Completion Fund Risk (Six Circles Funds)
An investment in the Six Circles Funds is not designed to be a complete investment program. It is intended
to be part of a broader investment program administered by JPMPI or its affiliates. The Fund is managed
to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment program and therefore changes in
value of a Six Circles Fund may be particularly pronounced and the Fund may underperform a similar fund
managed without consideration of the broader investment program.
Multi-Manager Risk (Six Circles Funds)
For the Six Circles Funds, a Fund’s performance depends on JPMPI’s investment skill and its skill in
selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to sub-advisers. The sub-advisers’ investment styles
may not always be complementary. The sub-advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment
decisions independently of one another), and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For
example, it is possible that a sub-adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that
another sub-adviser sells the same security, resulting in higher transaction costs without accomplishing
any net investment result; or that several sub-advisers purchase the same security at the same time,
without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher transaction costs. The Fund’s sub-advisers may
underperform the market generally, underperform other investment managers that could have been
selected for the Fund and/or underperform private investment funds with similar strategies managed by
the sub-advisers. Subject to the overall supervision of the Fund’s investment program by JPMPI, each sub-
adviser is responsible, with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages, for compliance with the
Fund’s investment strategies and applicable law.
ETFs and Index Mutual Funds
ETFs and index mutual funds are marketable securities that are interests in registered funds, and are
designed to track, before fees and expenses, the performance or returns of a relevant basket of assets,
usually an underlying index. The index may be published or calculated by affiliates of JPMPI. Unlike mutual
funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout
the day as they are bought and sold. ETFs typically have higher daily liquidity and lower fees than mutual
fund shares.
Physical replication and synthetic replication are two of the most common structures used in the
construction of ETFs and index mutual funds. Physically replicated ETFs and index mutual funds buy all
or a representative portion of the underlying securities in the index that they track. In contrast, some ETFs
and index mutual funds do not purchase the underlying assets but gain exposure to them by use of swaps
or other derivative instruments.
In addition to the general risks of investing in funds, there are specific risks to consider with respect to an
investment in ETFs, including, but not limited to:
40
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
• Variance from Benchmark Index. ETF and index mutual fund performance may differ from the
performance of the applicable index for a variety of reasons. For example, ETFs and index mutual
funds incur operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the benchmark
index, may not be fully invested in the securities of their indices at all times, or may hold securities
not included in their indices. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities
underlying ETFs and mutual funds (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance
between the performances of the funds and applicable indices.
• Passive Investing Risk. Passive investing differs from active investing in that ETF and index mutual
fund managers are not seeking to outperform their benchmark. As a result, managers may hold
securities that are components of their underlying index, regardless of the current or projected
performance of the specific security or market sector. Passive managers do not attempt to take
defensive positions based upon market conditions, including declining markets. This approach
could cause a passive vehicle’s performance to be lower than if it employed an active strategy.
• Secondary Market Risk. ETF shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices.
Although ETFs are required to calculate their NAV on a daily basis, at times the market price of an
ETF’s shares may be more than the NAV (trading at a premium) or less than the NAV (trading at
a discount). Given the differing nature of the relevant secondary markets for ETFs, certain ETFs
may trade at a larger premium or discount to NAV than shares of other ETFs depending on the
markets where such ETFs are traded. The risk of deviation from NAV for ETFs generally is
heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. For example, during
periods of market volatility, securities underlying ETFs may be unavailable in the secondary
market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the NAV per share of such
ETFs, and the liquidity of such ETFs may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may
also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares in ETFs. Further, market
volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are
willing to buy and sell shares of ETFs. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value
of shares of an ETF would vary substantially from the NAV per share of such ETF, and the client
may incur significant losses from the sale of ETF shares.
• Tracking the Index. Certain funds track financial indices in which J.P. Morgan retains various
intellectual property rights. As a result, J.P. Morgan may be entitled to receive index licensing fees
from unaffiliated licensees of these indices. Affiliates of JPMPI may develop or own and operate
stock market and other indices based on investment and trading strategies developed by such
affiliates. Affiliates of JPMPI may also assist unaffiliated entities in creating indices that are tracked
by certain ETFs or certain client accounts utilized by JPMPI. Some of the ETFs advised by affiliates
of JPMPI (“J.P. Morgan ETFs”) seek to track the performance of certain of these indices. In
addition, J.P. Morgan may manage client accounts that track the same indices used by the J.P.
Morgan ETFs or that may be based on the same, or substantially similar, strategies that are used
in the operation of the indices and the J.P. Morgan ETFs. The operation of the indices, the J.P.
41
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Morgan ETFs and client accounts in this manner may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. For
example, client accounts that track the same indices used by the J.P. Morgan ETFs may engage
in purchases and sales of securities relating to index changes to a time different to the
implementation of index updates or J.P. Morgan ETFs engaging in similar transactions because
the client accounts may be managed and rebalanced on an ongoing basis, whereas the J.P.
Morgan ETFs’ portfolios are only rebalanced on a periodic basis corresponding with the
rebalancing of an index. These differences may result in the client accounts having more or less
favorable performance relative to that of the index and the J.P. Morgan ETFs or other client
accounts that track the index. Furthermore, J.P. Morgan may, from time to time, manage client
accounts that invest in these J.P. Morgan ETFs. Other potential conflicts include the potential for
unauthorized access to index information, allowing index changes that benefit JPMPI or other
client accounts and not the investors in the ETFs and index mutual funds. J.P. Morgan has
established certain information barriers and other policies to address the sharing of information
between different businesses within J.P. Morgan, including with respect to personnel responsible
for coordinating the development and governance of the indices and those involved in decision-
making for the ETFs and index mutual funds.
Liquid Alternative Funds
Liquid Alternative Funds typically can invest in assets such as global real estate, commodities, derivatives,
leveraged loans, start-up companies, unlisted securities, and other investments that offer exposure beyond
traditional stocks, bonds, and cash. These funds provide a source of returns with a low correlation with the
performance of traditional asset classes, such as equities and bonds.
Hedge funds often engage in leveraging, short selling, derivatives, and other speculative investment
practices that increase the risk of a complete loss of a client’s investment. Hedge funds often charge
performance fees in addition to management fees.
Liquid Alternative Funds utilize strategies similar to hedge funds, but are subject to regulatory limits on
illiquid investments, leveraging, and amounts that may be invested in any one issuer. However, Liquid
Alternative Funds can trade more frequently and generally will hold more non-traditional investments and
employ more complex trading strategies than traditional mutual funds. Liquid Alternative Funds often have
higher total expense ratios compared to traditional mutual funds plus higher annual operating expenses.
Higher fees will negatively impact performance compared to traditional mutual funds. Unlike hedge funds,
Liquid Alternative Funds generally cannot charge performance fees in addition to management fees. Liquid
Alternative Funds also offer daily liquidity. Although Liquid Alternative Funds can offer diversification within
a relatively liquid and accessible structure, they do not have the same type of returns as other alternative
investments. The risk characteristics of Liquid Alternative Funds can be similar to those generally
associated with other alternative investments. In addition to the usual market and investment-specific risks
of traditional mutual funds, Liquid Alternative Funds may carry additional risks based on the strategies they
42
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
use and the underlying investments made by the Liquid Alternative Funds. These strategies may target
specific returns or benchmarks, and seek to mitigate or provide exposure to alternative asset classes.
In general, Liquid Alternative Funds are speculative investments that have the potential for significant loss
of principal. Investments in Liquid Alternative Funds are only available to certain clients who meet
applicable eligibility and suitability requirements and in circumstances approved by JPMS. Because Liquid
Alternative Funds involve speculative strategies, clients should fully understand the terms, investment
strategy, and risk associated with such Funds. For example, the use of aggressive investment techniques,
such as futures, forward contracts, swap agreements, derivatives, and options, can increase a Liquid
Alternative Fund’s volatility and carries a high risk of substantial loss.
Prospectus Delivery
A discretionary investment adviser can receive prospectuses and other issuer-related materials on behalf
of a client for any Funds in a client’s account with client authorization. The adviser, as a client’s agent, will
have access to the prospectuses and issuer-related materials and can rely upon them to make Fund
investments on the client’s behalf; however clients will no longer receive such prospectuses or issuer-
related materials directly, but can access them via the issuer’s website or request copies from the adviser
at any time. Prospectuses and issuer-related materials contain important information and detailed
descriptions of additional fees and expenses, investment minimums, risk factors and conflicts of interest
disclosures, as well as client’s rights, responsibilities and liabilities with respect to such investments.
Additionally, this Brochure contains other general information regarding fees and expenses, risk factors
and conflicts of interest.
Tactical Allocations
For Core Solutions, JPMPI generally has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations
that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments. As a result of these tactical
allocations, a client account may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time. A client
account’s tactical allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the
account or fund and/or cause the account or fund to have an investment strategy different than that
portrayed in the client account’s strategic asset allocations from time to time.

On or about July 28, 2016, Respondents entered into a Consent Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Indiana
Securities Division (“ISD”). The Respondents consented to the entry of the Agreement that alleged that
certain conduct of the Respondents was outside the standards of honesty and ethics generally accepted in
the securities trade and industry, in violation of 710 Ind. Admin. Code § 4-10-1(23) (2016). Specifically, the
Agreement alleged that, between 2008 and 2013, JPMS failed to disclose to Indiana investors that certain
proprietary mutual funds purchased for CSP clients offered institutional shares that were less expensive
than the institutional shares JPMS chose for CSP clients. In addition, the Agreement alleged that, from
February 2011 to January 2014, no account-opening document or marketing materials disclosed to Indiana
investment management account clients or Indiana J.P. Morgan Investment Portfolio clients that JPMCB
preferred to invest client assets in proprietary mutual funds, and that between 2008 and January 2014,
JPMCB did not disclose its preference for investing certain investment management account assets in
certain proprietary hedge funds to Indiana clients. Lastly, the Agreement alleged that JPMCB did not
disclose its preference for placement-agent-fee-paying third-party hedge fund managers in certain
investment management accounts to Indiana clients until August 2015. Solely for the purpose of settling
these proceedings, the Respondents consented to the Agreement, with no admissions as to liability. In the
Agreement, the Respondents agreed to pay a total of $950,000 to resolve the ISD’s investigation, which
was paid on August 1, 2016.
On March 9, 2020, JPMS entered into an Agreed Order (“Order”) with the Kentucky Department of Financial
Institutions. JPMS consented to the entry of the Order that alleged that JPMS failed to disclose conflicts of
interest arising from preferences for J.P. Morgan–managed mutual funds (“Proprietary Mutual Funds”), in
violation of KRS 292.320 and 808 KAR 10:450 § 2(8)(c) and (11)(a). Specifically, the Order alleged that,
between 2008 and 2013, JPMS failed to disclose to Kentucky investors that (i) CSP was designed and
operated with a preference for Proprietary Mutual Funds, (ii) there was an economic incentive to invest
CSP assets in Proprietary Mutual Funds as a result of discounted pricing for services provided to JPMS for
CSP by a JPMS affiliate, and (iii) until November 2013, JPMS failed to disclose to CSP clients the availability
of certain less-expensive Proprietary Mutual Fund share classes. Solely for the purpose of settling these
proceedings, JPMS consented to the Order, with no admissions as to liability. In the Agreement, JPMS
agreed to pay a total of $325,000 to resolve the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions investigation.

In September 2020, JPMS, together with JPMC and JPMCB (collectively, “JPMorgan”) agreed to an
administrative resolution with the CFTC for violations of the CEA and CFTC regulations related to
manipulation, attempted manipulation and spoofing, as well as a charge against JPMS for failure to
supervise. As described in the CFTC’s Order, from at least 2008 through 2016, former JPMorgan traders
placed hundreds of thousands of spoof orders of precious metals futures and U.S. treasuries (“UST”)
futures on exchanges, and, on occasion, engaged in manipulation related to precious metals barrier
options. The CFTC Order further states that JPMS failed to identify, adequately investigate, and put a stop
to misconduct, despite red flags, including internal surveillance alerts, inquiries from CME and the CFTC,
and internal allegations of misconduct. JPMorgan consented to the entry of the CFTC Order without
admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except to the extent that admissions were made in the
related resolutions, described below, with the United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Fraud
Section, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut (together, “DOJ”) and the
SEC. JPMS also agreed to an administrative resolution with the SEC for violations of Section 17(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to the SEC Order, JPMS admitted to hundreds of manipulative trading
events involving spoofing by certain former JPMorgan traders in the UST cash securities secondary market
between April 2015 and January 2016. JPMC separately entered into a deferred prosecution agreement
(“DPA”) with DOJ with respect to certain criminal information, charging JPMC with two counts of wire fraud
(the “Information”) related to the same conduct underlying the CFTC and SEC Orders. JPMS and JPMCB
also agreed to certain terms and obligations of the DPA. JPMorgan admitted, accepted, and acknowledged
responsibility for the acts of its officers, directors, employees, and agents as described in the Information
and the Statement of Facts accompanying the DPA, and that the allegations described therein are true and
accurate. In resolving these three actions, JPMorgan agreed to pay a total of $920,203,609 to DOJ, CFTC,
and SEC, consisting of civil and criminal monetary penalties, restitution, and disgorgement. JPMorgan
agreed to cease and desist from any further violations, and also agreed, among other things, to certain
cooperation, remediation, and reporting requirements.

JPMPI is also a member of the National Futures Association (the “NFA”). In addition, certain of JPMPI’s
management persons are registered with the NFA as an “associated person” of JPMPI, as necessary or
appropriate to perform their responsibilities.
C.
Material Relationships or Arrangements with Industry Participants
JPMPI manages strategies on behalf of its affiliates, which creates conflicts of interest related to JPMPI’s
determination to use, suggest, or recommend the services of such affiliate. The particular services involved
will depend on the types of services offered by the affiliate. The use of affiliates to provide services to clients
creates certain conflicts of interest for JPMS, JPMIM, WMS, and JPMPI. Among other things, there are
financial incentives for JPMS, JPMIM, WMS, and JPMPI (and their affiliates), including its parent company,
JPMC, to favor affiliated service providers over non-affiliated service providers, and compensation of
supervised persons of JPMS, JPMIM, WMS, and JPMPI generally is directly or indirectly related to the
financial performance of J.P. Morgan.
JPMPI has several relationships or arrangements with related persons that are material to its investment
advisory business or to clients in the programs. Below is a description of such relationships and some of
the conflicts of interest that arise from them. JPMPI has adopted policies and procedures reasonably
designed to appropriately prevent, limit or mitigate conflicts of interest that arise between JPMPI and its
affiliates. These policies and procedures include information barriers designed to prevent the flow of
information between JPMPI and certain other affiliates, as more fully described in Item 11.A. For a more
complete discussion of the conflicts of interest and corresponding controls designed to prevent, limit or
mitigate conflicts of interests, refer to Item 11.B.

JPMS is dually registered as a broker-dealer and an investment adviser with the SEC. JPMS acts as
sponsor for the Program. JPMS typically provides custody and equity trade execution services to the
Program clients. JPMPI has an incentive to offer the Program through an affiliated sponsor because the
affiliate earns more money. However, JPMS does not receive any additional brokerage commissions from
its wrap clients when JPMPI places trades for those clients with JPMS. Additionally, JPMPI does not
receive any additional fees or compensation from placing trades for these JPMS-sponsored wrap accounts
with JPMS. JPMS is also registered as a Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”) with the CFTC. Certain
directors and officers of JPMPI are also officers of JPMS. JPMPI utilizes JPMS for various services subject

investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or “hedge fund,” and
offshore fund)
JPMPI provides investment advice and/or administrative functions for private investment funds organized
as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or offshore companies and currently serves as sub-
adviser to certain RICs for which JPMIM serves as investment adviser. Currently, JPMPI has entered into
sub-advisory arrangements with JPMIM to provide the day-to-day investment decisions for certain of the
RICs, including the selection of funds for the aforementioned, which may include J.P. Morgan Affiliated
Funds. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of
Interest” in Item 11.B below. JPMPI also acts as the investment adviser to open-end mutual funds (i.e., Six
Circles Funds) and to closed-end RICs (i.e., J.P. Morgan Access Multi-Strategy Funds). Refer to Item 10.D
and Item 11 for more information on material conflicts of interest relating to JPMPI’s advisory services.
(3) other investment adviser or financial planner
JPMPI’s affiliate, JPMIM, is the investment adviser or sub-adviser for various J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds,
including funds organized under the laws of other countries and jurisdictions. JPMIM is the primary adviser
to a U.S. mutual funds complex as well as separately managed accounts. J.P. Morgan often recommends
and invests program client accounts in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and separately managed accounts
which creates a conflict of interest because JPMPI affiliates benefit from increased allocations to the J.P.
Morgan Affiliated Funds and to its separately managed accounts, and JPMDS and other affiliates receive
distribution, placement, administration, custody, trust services or other fees for services provided to such
funds.
JPMPI's affiliate, WMS provides implementation and overlay services to clients of JPMS for certain
advisory programs. WMS and/or other affiliates of WMS share personnel with JPMPI and provide other
investment and non-investment resources to JPMPI. JPMPI’s supervised persons also have duties and
obligations outside of JPMPI to WMS and/or JPMPI’s other affiliates. Personnel sharing can result in
conflicts of interest to the extent such personnel have substantive responsibilities outside of JPMPI. For
example, the resources available to JPMPI may be impacted by such personnel’s other responsibilities to
WMS or its affiliates. JPMPI has policies and procedures to address these conflicts. To the extent WMS or
its affiliates share personnel with JPMPI, such personnel generally will be treated as supervised persons
of JPMPI for compliance purposes with respect to that portion of their roles and responsibilities that directly
relates to JPMPI’s business.
Additionally, as described in Item 10.C(4), JPMCB also provides investment advice to JPMCB’s private
bank clients who can also be investors in JPMPI-advised funds.

In addition, JPMPI engages certain foreign affiliated advisers that are not registered as investment advisers
with the SEC to provide non-discretionary advice, including manager selection and analysis or asset
allocation discussions, to JPMPI for use with its U.S. clients (a “Participating Affiliate Arrangement”). A
Participating Affiliate Arrangement is structured in accordance with a series of SEC no-action letters
requiring that participating affiliates remain subject to the regulatory supervision of both JPMPI and the
SEC in certain respects. Currently, JPMPI has a Participating Affiliate Arrangement with J.P. Morgan SE,
London Branch.
(4) banking or thrift institution
J.P. Morgan, JPMPI’s parent company, is a public company that is a bank holding company registered with
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). J.P. Morgan is subject to
supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve and is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the
Bank Holding Company Act and related regulations.
JPMCB is a national banking association. JPMCB is subject to supervision and regulation by the U.S.
Department of Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. JPMCB provides banking, investment
management, trustee, custody, and other services to clients. JPMCB also provides custody, or
administrative services to funds sponsored or managed by J.P. Morgan. JPMCB and/or other affiliates of
JPMCB share personnel (including investment advisory, research, legal, compliance, investor relations,
marketing, technology, accounting, back office, human resources, IT, risk management, and administrative
personnel) with JPMPI and provide other investment and non-investment resources to JPMPI. JPMPI’s
supervised persons also have duties and obligations outside of JPMPI to JPMCB and/or JPMPI’s other
affiliates. Personnel sharing can result in conflicts of interest to the extent such personnel have substantive
responsibilities outside of JPMPI. For example, the resources available to JPMPI may be impacted by such
personnel’s other responsibilities to JPMCB or its affiliates. In addition, it may be more difficult for JPMPI to
supervise such personnel and to monitor the communications and activities of such personnel. JPMPI has
policies and procedures to address these conflicts. To the extent JPMCB or its affiliates share personnel
with JPMPI, such personnel generally will be treated as supervised persons of JPMPI for compliance
purposes with respect to that portion of their roles and responsibilities that directly relates to JPMPI’s
business.

Material Conflicts of Interest Relating to Other Investment Advisers
JPMPI has described certain conflicts of interest related to other investment advisers in Items 11 and 12
below.
Share Classes and Mutual Fund Fees
Mutual funds typically offer different ways to buy shares with different share classes that may assess
different fees and expenses. JPMS strives to make available the most appropriate share class on the
platform for each fund, with the goal of generally obtaining the lowest cost share class. However, for certain
funds, the share classes with the lowest fee structures are not available in a particular program (e.g., (1)
48
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088

the fund family restricts access to these share classes or (2) JPMS does not have an agreement with the
fund to distribute the share class in the Program). Clients should be aware that the share class of a fund
available through the Program can differ from the share class available to similar accounts managed by or
held at JPMS or its affiliates, and that certain lower cost fund share classes can be available outside of the
Program. Clients should contact their Advisor(s) for information about any limitations on share classes
available through the Program. JPMS through its brokerage accounts has other arrangements with fund
companies that are described in the relevant brokerage documents.
JPMS and its affiliates receive fees or other forms of compensation from the funds (including money market
funds), or their affiliates. JPMS believes that this conflict is addressed in the following ways:
•
12b-1 Distribution Fees: JPMS receives fees from certain funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act (“12b-1 Distribution Fees”). Rule 12b-1 allows funds to use fund assets to pay the costs
of marketing and distribution of the fund’s shares. If JPMS receives 12b-1 Distribution Fees, it will
rebate these fees to its advisory clients.
• Other fees: JPMS enters into agreements with the funds, their investment managers, distributors,
principal underwriters, shareholder servicing agents and/or other affiliates of the funds. The funds
or their service providers pay J.P. Morgan fees for providing certain administrative services, which
include maintaining and updating separate records for each client, preparing and delivering client
statements, tax reporting, proxy voting and solicitation, processing purchase and redemption
orders, processing dividends, distributing prospectuses and other fund reports, and responding to
client inquiries. These fees for these services are typically called “shareholder servicing fees,” when
paid for by the fund; however these fees can be referred to as “revenue sharing” when they are
paid by the fund service provider from its own resources (together referred to as “Servicing Fees”).
As of December 31, 2025, the Servicing Fees that JPMS received for non–money market funds
were up to 25 basis points annually of the fund assets, or a rate of up to $20 per year per fund
position; however, these amounts can change. The receipt by JPMS of these fees creates a conflict
of interest in the selection of funds for accounts because the fees are different among funds.
Similarly, JPMS has a conflict with recommending mutual funds that pay Servicing Fees instead of
ETFs or other securities or products that do not pay any Servicing Fee. The JPMPI portfolio
managers, who are responsible for managing or recommending investments for the Program
accounts, do not receive any direct financial benefit from the Servicing Fees. To that extent, such
JPMPI portfolio managers are incentivized to invest in or recommend securities they believe will
increase the value of the account. JPMS does not retain any portion of those fees for retirement
advisory accounts. When evaluating the fees for, and cost of the Program, clients should consider
the Servicing Fees that JPMS receives in addition to the investment advisory fees. Clients can also
request a fund prospectus for additional information regarding fund fees.
Once a particular share class is made available for a particular fund in the Program, only that share class
can be purchased for that fund. JPMS periodically reviews the share classes offered by funds in the
49
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Program, but also relies on the fund families to inform JPMS when and if these share classes will be made
available. Mutual funds will be purchased in the account at NAV (no-load or load-waived) and ETFs at their
market price. If JPMS identifies and makes available a class of shares for a fund more appropriate than the
class of shares previously made available for the fund, to the extent allowed, JPMS will convert client shares
in the fund to that more appropriate share class of the same fund. Operational and other considerations
can affect the timing of the conversion of shares, and can cause the timing or implementation of such
conversions to differ between clients.
Some of the fund share classes available through the Program are not necessarily available outside of the
Program. To the extent an account is terminated, clients may not be eligible to continue to hold or purchase
certain share classes offered in the Program, as well as outside J.P. Morgan.
Refer to “Other Compensation from Funds” in Item 11.B below.
ITEM 11
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A.
Code of Ethics
JPMPI has adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act. The Code of Ethics
is designed to ensure that JPMPI and its supervised persons comply with applicable federal securities laws
and place the interests of clients first in conducting personal securities transactions. The Code of Ethics
imposes certain restrictions on securities transactions in the personal accounts of supervised persons to
help avoid or mitigate conflicts of interest, as described more fully below. A copy of the Code of Ethics is
available free of charge to any client or prospective client upon request by contacting a client service
representative or a client’s IAR.
(i)
General
The Code of Ethics contains policies and procedures relating to:
• Account holding reports and personal trading, including reporting and pre-clearance requirements
for all personnel of JPMPI;
• Confidentiality obligations to clients set forth in the J.P. Morgan privacy notices; and
• Conflicts of interest, which includes guidance relating to restrictions on trading on material,
nonpublic information (“MNPI”).
In general, the personal trading rules under the Code of Ethics require that accounts of JPMPI personnel
be maintained with an approved broker and that certain trades in reportable securities for such accounts
be precleared and monitored by compliance personnel. The Code of Ethics also prohibits certain types of
trading activity, such as short-term and speculative trades. JPMPI personnel must obtain approval prior to
engaging in all covered security transactions, including those issued in private placements. In addition,
JPMPI personnel are not permitted to buy or sell securities issued by J.P. Morgan during certain periods
50
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
throughout the year. Certain Access Persons (defined as persons with access to nonpublic information
regarding JPMPI’s recommendations to clients, purchases, or sales of securities for client accounts and
advised funds) are prohibited from executing personal trades in a security at certain times. In addition,
Access Persons are required to disclose household members’ personal security transactions and holdings
information. These disclosure obligations and restrictions are designed to mitigate conflicts of interest that
arise if Access Persons transact in the same securities as advisory clients.
Additionally, all JPMPI personnel are subject to the J.P. Morgan firm-wide policies and procedures including
those found in the J.P. Morgan Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”). The Code of Conduct sets forth
restrictions regarding confidential and proprietary information, information barriers, private investments,
outside business activities and personal trading. All J.P. Morgan employees, including JPMPI personnel,
are required to familiarize themselves with, comply with, and attest annually to their compliance with the
provisions of the Code of Conduct’s terms as a condition of continued employment.
Where appropriate, JPMPI and its affiliates generally address the conflicts disclosed in this Brochure
through policies and procedures.
(ii)
Information Barrier Policies
J.P. Morgan maintains various types of internal information barriers and other policies that are designed to
prevent certain information from being shared or transmitted to other business units within J.P. Morgan.
JPMPI relies on these information barriers to protect the integrity of its investment process and to comply
with fiduciary duties and regulatory obligations. JPMPI also relies upon these barriers to mitigate potential
conflicts, to preserve confidential information and to prevent the inappropriate flow of MNPI and confidential
information to and from JPMPI and to other J.P. Morgan lines of business. MNPI is information not generally
disseminated to the public that a reasonable investor would likely consider important in making an
investment decision. This information is received voluntarily and involuntarily and under varying
circumstances, including, but not limited to, upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement, as a result of
serving on the board of directors of a company, serving on ad hoc or official creditors’ committees and
participation in risk, advisory or other committees for various trading platforms, clearinghouses and other
market infrastructure–related entities and organizations. JPMPI’s information barriers include: (1) written
policies and procedures to limit the sharing of MNPI and confidential information on a need to know basis
only, and (2) various physical, technical and procedural controls to safeguard such information. As a result
of information barriers, JPMPI generally will not have access, or will have limited access, to information and
personnel in other areas of J.P. Morgan, and generally will not manage the client accounts and funds with
the benefit of information held by these other areas.
Under certain circumstances, JPMPI and/or its affiliates will decide that transactions in a particular security
need to be restricted and therefore JPMPI and/or its affiliates will determine that the security should be
placed on a “restricted list.” While the security is on the restricted list, JPMPI typically prohibits purchases,
sales, or all transactions in the security. The reasons for placing a security on the restricted list include, but
are not limited to: (i) preventing JPMPI from exceeding regulatory investment limitations with respect to the
51
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
securities of companies in certain regulated industries, such as insurance companies and public utilities,
(ii) avoiding a concentration in any particular security, (iii) buttressing an information barrier by preventing
the appearance of impropriety in connection with trading decisions or recommendations, and (iv) preventing
the use or appearance of the use of inside information.
B.
Securities in Which JPMPI or a Related Person Has a Material Financial Interest and Other
Conflicts of Interest
J.P. Morgan Acting in Multiple Commercial Capacities
J.P. Morgan is a diversified financial services firm that provides a broad range of services and products to
its clients and is a major participant in the global currency, equity, commodity, fixed income and other
markets in which client accounts in the Program can directly or indirectly invest. J.P. Morgan is typically
entitled to compensation in connection with these activities, and the Program’s clients will not be entitled to
any such compensation. In providing services and products to clients other than the Program clients, J.P.
Morgan, from time to time, faces conflicts of interest with respect to activities recommended to or performed
for the Program clients on the one hand and for J.P. Morgan’s other clients on the other hand. For example,
J.P. Morgan has, and continues to seek to develop, banking and other financial and advisory relationships
with numerous U.S. and non-U.S. persons and governments. J.P. Morgan also advises and represents
potential buyers and sellers of businesses worldwide. The Program client accounts have invested in, or
may wish to invest in, such entities represented by J.P. Morgan or with which J.P. Morgan has a banking,
advisory or other financial relationship. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, J.P. Morgan persons issue
recommendations on securities held in accounts advised or sub-advised by J.P. Morgan that are contrary
to the investment activities of J.P. Morgan. In addition, certain clients of J.P. Morgan invest in entities in
which J.P. Morgan holds an interest, including a collective investment trust, or other pooled investment
vehicle managed by a J.P. Morgan affiliate. In providing services to its clients and as a participant in global
markets, J.P. Morgan from time to time recommends or engages in activities that compete with or otherwise
adversely affect a program client account or its investments. It should be recognized that such relationships
can preclude the Program clients from engaging in certain transactions and can also restrict investment
opportunities that would otherwise be available to the Program clients. For example, J.P. Morgan is often
engaged by companies as a financial adviser, or to provide financing or other services, in connection with
commercial transactions that are indirectly potential investment opportunities for the Program clients. There
are circumstances in which advisory accounts are precluded from participating in such transactions as a
result of J.P. Morgan’s engagement by such companies. J.P. Morgan reserves the right to act for these
companies in such circumstances, notwithstanding the potential adverse effect on the Program clients. In
addition, J.P. Morgan derives ancillary benefits from providing investment advisory, custody, administration,
and other services to the Program clients, and providing such services to the Program clients may enhance
J.P. Morgan’s relationships with various parties, facilitate additional business development and enable J.P.
Morgan to obtain additional business and generate additional revenue. The following are descriptions of
certain additional conflicts of interest and potential conflicts of interest that are associated with the financial
52
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
or other interests that J.P. Morgan has in transactions effected by, with, or on behalf of its clients. In addition
to the specific mitigants described further below, J.P. Morgan has established information barriers as
described in this Brochure and adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to appropriately
prevent, limit or mitigate conflicts of interest. In addition, many of the activities that create these conflicts of
interest are limited and/or if prohibited by law, are conducted under an available exception.
Conflicts Relating to J.P. Morgan Service Providers
J.P. Morgan provides financing, consulting, investment banking, management, custodial, prime brokerage,
transfer agency, shareholder servicing, treasury oversight, administration, distribution or other services
(“Services”) to its clients, including investment funds, products or companies in which J.P. Morgan invests
on behalf of, or which J.P. Morgan recommends for investment to its clients. These relationships generate
revenue to J.P. Morgan and have the potential to influence J.P. Morgan in deciding whether to select such
investment funds, products or companies for investment by its clients or to recommend such funds,
products or companies to its clients, in deciding how to manage such investments, and in deciding when to
sell such investments. For example, J.P. Morgan earns compensation from private funds or their sponsors
for providing certain Services. J.P. Morgan has an incentive to favor such funds over other funds with which
J.P. Morgan has no relationship when investing on behalf of, or recommending investments to, its clients
because such investments potentially increase J.P. Morgan’s overall revenue. In addition, J.P. Morgan
derives ancillary benefits from providing such Services.
Therefore, it is important for clients to know that J.P. Morgan has policies that seek to ensure the receipt of
such compensation as described above does not affect J.P. Morgan’s decisions and recommendations to
clients. Wealth management maintains various types of internal information barriers and other policies that
are designed to prevent certain information from being shared or transmitted to other business units within
wealth management and within J.P. Morgan more broadly. J.P. Morgan relies on these information barriers
to protect the integrity of its investment process and to comply with fiduciary duties and regulatory
obligations.
Client Participation in Offerings Where J.P. Morgan Acts as Underwriter or Placement Agent
If permitted by a client’s investment objectives, and subject to compliance with applicable law, regulations
and exemptions, J.P. Morgan can purchase securities for client accounts, including new issues, during an
underwriting or other offering of such securities in which a broker-dealer affiliate of J.P. Morgan acts as a
manager, co-manager, underwriter or placement agent and for which the affiliate receives a benefit in the
form of management, underwriting or other fees. Affiliates of J.P. Morgan also act in other capacities in such
offerings and such affiliates will receive fees, compensation, or other benefits for such services.
The commercial relationships and activities of J.P. Morgan’s affiliate may at times indirectly preclude JPMPI
from engaging in certain transactions on behalf of its clients and constrain the investment flexibility of client
accounts. For example, when an affiliate of J.P. Morgan is the sole underwriter of an initial or secondary
offering, J.P. Morgan cannot purchase securities in the offering for its clients. In such case the universe of
53
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
securities and counterparties available to J.P. Morgan’s clients will be smaller than that available to clients
of advisers that are not affiliated with major broker-dealers. J.P. Morgan believes that there are adequate
amounts of other securities available that will allow clients to generally meet the same investment
performance regardless of the fact that clients are precluded from investing in certain securities because
of affiliate activities.
Conflicts Related to Advisers and Service Providers
Certain advisers or service providers to clients managed by J.P. Morgan (including investment advisers,
accountants, administrators, lenders, bankers, brokers, attorneys, consultants and investment or
commercial banking firms) provide goods or services to, or have business, personal, financial or other
relationships with, J.P. Morgan and/or JPMPI, their affiliates, advisory clients and portfolio companies. Such
advisers and service providers may be clients of J.P. Morgan and JPMPI, sources of investment
opportunities, co-investors, commercial counterparties, or entities in which J.P. Morgan has an investment.
Additionally, certain employees of J.P. Morgan or JPMPI could have family members or relatives employed
by such advisers and service providers. These relationships could have the appearance of affecting or
could potentially influence JPMPI in deciding whether to select or recommend such advisers or service
providers to perform services for its clients or investments held by such clients (the cost of which will
generally be borne directly or indirectly by such clients).
Capacity and Other Limitations on Investment Positions
JPMPI and its affiliates maintain certain limitations on investment positions (including registered funds) that
JPMPI or its affiliates will take on behalf of its various clients due to, among other things: (i) liquidity
concerns, (ii) regulatory requirements applicable to JPMPI or its affiliates, and (iii) internal policies related
to such concerns or requirements, in light of the management of multiple portfolios and businesses by
JPMPI and its affiliates. Such policies preclude JPMPI or its affiliates from purchasing certain investments
for clients, and may cause JPMPI to sell certain investments held in client accounts. JPMPI is also more
likely to select a J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund in circumstances where it would not be able to invest all desired
client assets in a particular non–J.P. Morgan Fund due to these limitations. This could result in performance
dispersion among accounts with similar investment objectives.
Clients’ Investments in Affiliated Companies
Subject to applicable law, from time to time JPMPI will include Funds, equity instruments or other securities
in Model Portfolios, and therefore client accounts that represent an indirect interest in securities of J.P.
Morgan, including J.P. Morgan stock. JPMPI will receive advisory fees on the portion of client holdings
invested in such instruments or other securities and is entitled to vote or otherwise exercise rights and take
actions with respect to such instruments or other securities on behalf of its clients. Generally, such activity
occurs when a client account includes an index strategy that targets the returns of certain indices in which
J.P. Morgan securities are a key component.

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Restrictions Relating to J.P. Morgan Directorships/Affiliations
From time to time, directors, officers and employees of J.P. Morgan, serve on the board of directors or hold
another senior position with a corporation, investment fund manager or other institution that will sell an
investment to, acquire an investment from or otherwise engage in a transaction with, J.P. Morgan. The
presence of such persons in these circumstances will generally require the relevant person to recuse
themselves from participating in a transaction, or cause J.P. Morgan to determine that it (or its client) is
unable to pursue a transaction because of a potential conflict of interest. In such cases, the investment
opportunities available to the clients and the ability of such clients to engage in transactions or retain certain
investments or assets will be limited.
Other Compensation from Funds
Certain Funds in which JPMPI may invest account assets will execute transactions for their portfolios
through JPMS or an affiliate as broker-dealer, and JPMS or an affiliate will receive compensation from the
Funds in connection with these transactions. Such compensation presents a conflict of interest between
JPMPI and its clients because JPMPI would have a financial incentive to invest account assets in such
Funds: (1) in the hope or expectation that increasing the amount of assets invested with the Funds will
increase the number and/or size of transactions placed by the Funds for execution by JPMS or an affiliate
or other related person, and thereby result in increased compensation to JPMS and its affiliates and other
related persons in the aggregate; and (2) to benefit the Funds and thereby preserve and foster valuable
brokerage relationships with the Funds.
Payment for Order Flow
JPMS does not receive payment for order flow from market makers for customer orders in equity securities.
JPMS receives rebates from and pays fees to some registered securities exchanges for providing or taking
liquidity on those exchanges, according to those exchanges’ published fee schedules approved by the SEC.
Alternative trading systems (as defined below) also charge fees and, in some cases, pay rebates for the
provision or removal of liquidity. In addition, JPMS receives marketing fees from options exchanges under
marketing fee programs sponsored by some exchanges. Under some circumstances, the amount received
by JPMS from a trading center over a period of time may exceed the amount that JPMS is charged by a
trading center. These practices are one of many factors that may impact routing decisions and do not alter
JPMS’ policy to route customer orders in securities to the trading centers where it believes customers will
receive the best execution, taking into account, among other factors, price, transaction cost, volatility,
reliability, market depth, and speed.
Affiliates of JPMS have ownership interests in some trading centers. Accordingly, JPMS stands to share in
any profits that these trading centers earn from the execution of JPMS customer orders on those trading
centers. Additional information on the material aspects of JPMS’ relationships with the primary trading
centers to which JPMS routes, including descriptions of arrangements for payment for order flow and profit-
sharing relationships, is available in JPMS’ SEC Rule 606 reports at jpmorgan.com/OrderExecution.

J.P. Morgan’s Use and Ownership of Trading Systems
JPMS may effect trades on behalf of Program accounts through exchanges, electronic communications
networks, alternative trading systems and similar execution systems and trading venues (collectively,
“Trading Systems”), including Trading Systems in which J.P. Morgan has a direct or indirect ownership
interest. J.P. Morgan will receive indirect proportionate compensation based upon its ownership percentage
in relation to the transaction fees charged by such Trading Systems in which it has an ownership interest.
Such Trading Systems (and the extent of J.P. Morgan’s ownership interest in any Trading System) may
change from time to time. JPMPI addresses this conflict by disclosure to its clients.
Ownership Interest in J.P. Morgan Stock
Certain unaffiliated asset management firms (each, an “unaffiliated asset manager”) through their funds
and separately managed accounts currently hold a 5% or more ownership interest in J.P. Morgan publicly
traded stock. Ownership interests in this range or of greater amounts present a conflict of interest when
J.P. Morgan purchases publicly traded securities of the unaffiliated asset manager or invests in funds that
are advised by such unaffiliated asset manager, on behalf of client accounts or J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds.
J.P. Morgan does not receive any additional compensation for client accounts’ or J.P. Morgan Affiliated
Funds’ investments in publicly traded securities or funds of an unaffiliated asset manager as a result of its
ownership interest in JPMC stock. J.P. Morgan monitors ownership interests in J.P. Morgan for regulatory
purposes and to identify and mitigate actual and perceived conflicts of interest. As of March 2, 2026, the
Vanguard Group, Inc. and BlackRock, Inc. hold more than a 5% interest in J.P. Morgan.
Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Investment Principles and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest will arise whenever J.P. Morgan has an actual or perceived economic or other incentive
in its management of clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for
example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in the account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests
in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge
fund issued or managed by a J.P. Morgan affiliate, such as JPMIM or JPMPI; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity
obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan
receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P.
Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or
custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result
because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own
account.
Investment strategies (Funds and SMAs) are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset
managers and are subject to a review process by manager solutions teams. From this pool of strategies,
56
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
JPMPI’s portfolio construction teams select those strategies JPMPI believes fits its asset allocation goals
and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio’s investment objective.
As a general matter, JPMPI prefers J.P. Morgan managed strategies. JPMPI expects the proportion of J.P.
Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash
and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations. JPMPI
may allocate a significant portion of the assets in the Program to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. That portion
varies depending on market or other conditions.
While JPMPI’s internally managed strategies generally align well with JPMPI’s forward-looking views, and
JPMPI is familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of J.P.
Morgan, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed
strategies are included. In certain programs, JPMPI offers the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan
managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
The Six Circles Funds are mutual funds advised by JPMPI and sub-advised by third parties. Although
considered internally managed strategies, neither JPMPI nor its affiliates retain a fee for fund management
or other fund services.
Separately Managed Accounts
Portfolios invested in individual equity or fixed income securities may be managed by JPMPI’s affiliates, or
by a third-party manager, including an affiliate. When JPMPI’s affiliates manage these investments, there
is a benefit to J.P. Morgan since it increases the overall revenue of J.P. Morgan. Additionally, a manager of
a separately managed account may invest in products that may result in additional revenue to J.P. Morgan.
INFORMATION ABOUT MUTUAL FUNDS AND EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS
IMPORTANT
REGISTERED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds - Management Fees
JPMPI and its affiliates are the sponsor or manager of Funds, including ETFs, that can be purchased for
the client’s portfolio. In such a case, JPMPI or its affiliates in most cases will receive a fee for managing
such Funds or for providing other services to such Funds based on the value of the assets invested in the
Funds. As such, JPMPI and its affiliates will receive more total revenue when the client’s portfolio is invested
in such Funds than when it is invested in third-party Funds. When the client’s account is an IRA or is
governed by ERISA and can be invested in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds, the retirement account will be
credited an amount equal to the account’s pro rata share of all such fees paid to J.P. Morgan or its affiliates
in connection with the account’s investments in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds.
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and Third-Party Funds - Other Fees and Expenses
All Funds have various internal fees and other expenses, that are paid by managers or issuers of the Funds
or by the Fund itself, but are ultimately borne by the investor. J.P. Morgan may receive administrative and
57
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
servicing and other fees for providing services to both J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and third-party funds
that are held in the client’s portfolio (except for when the fund is held in a client’s account that is an IRA or
is governed by ERISA). These payments may be made by sponsors of the Funds (including affiliates of
JPMPI) or by the Funds themselves and may be based on the value of the Funds in the client’s portfolio.
Funds or their sponsors may have other business relationships with J.P. Morgan outside of its portfolio
management role or with the broker-dealer affiliates of J.P. Morgan, which may provide brokerage or other
services that pay commissions, fees and other compensation.
Six Circles Funds
J.P. Morgan developed the J.P. Morgan Six Circles Funds (“Six Circles Funds”) exclusively for use in J.P.
Morgan investment advisory accounts. Since October 2018, the Six Circles Funds have been available in
program accounts where JPMPI is sub-adviser.
Six Circles Funds are specifically designed for use in discretionary program accounts as completion funds
to align with J.P. Morgan’s core portfolio views. JPMPI acts as investment adviser to the Six Circles Funds
and engages third-party investment managers as sub-advisers to the Six Circles Funds’ investment
portfolios. J.P. Morgan will have certain benefits and efficiencies from investing account assets in the Six
Circles Funds instead of unaffiliated Funds; however, J.P. Morgan does not retain investment advisory fees
for managing the Six Circles Funds through an agreement to waive any investment advisory fees that
exceed the fees owed to Six Circles Funds’ third-party sub-advisers. Six Circles Funds do not pay fees to
J.P. Morgan for any other services to the Six Circles Funds. Services to the Six Circles Funds are provided
by third-party service providers and are generally paid by the Six Circles Funds or J.P. Morgan. (The market
value of assets invested in the Six Circles Funds will be included in calculating the advisory fees paid on
the overall portfolio.)
Six Circles Fund shares may only be purchased in program accounts for which JPMC has investment
discretion. Should the client choose to close its discretionary program account but retain the interest in Six
Circles Funds, Six Circles Fund shares must be held through an eligible brokerage account and no new
purchases into the Six Circles Funds will be permitted (other than dividend reinvestment). Since the Six
Circles Funds are completion portfolios designed to complement and work as part of the overall
discretionary portfolio and are not intended to be standalone investments, each Six Circles Fund may
underperform as a standalone investment, even in instances where the overall portfolio performs as
intended. Further, the overall performance and liquidity of a Six Circles Fund may be negatively affected,
and additional transaction costs may be incurred by the Six Circles Fund, as a result of (i) allocation
decisions made by JPMC to shift discretionary client assets among the Six Circles Funds and other
investments; and (ii) allocation decisions made by JPMC to shift Six Circles Fund assets among different
investment strategies and sub-advisors, which may negatively affect the value of Six Circles Fund shares
even if they are no longer held through a JPMC portfolio.
For more information about the Six Circles Funds, including the funds’ objectives, risks, charges, and
expenses, go to sixcirclesfunds.com/literature.

Allocations of Client Assets to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds (Including New Funds)
J.P. Morgan has an incentive to allocate assets to new J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds to help it develop new
investment strategies and products. J.P. Morgan could have an incentive to allocate assets of the portfolios
to a J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund that is small, or to which J.P. Morgan has provided seed capital. In addition,
J.P. Morgan has an incentive not to sell or withdraw portfolio assets from a J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund in
order to avoid or delay the sale’s or withdrawal’s adverse impact on the fund. Accounts managed by J.P.
Morgan have significant ownership in certain J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. J.P. Morgan faces conflicts of
interest when considering the effect sales or redemptions may have on such funds and on other fund
shareholders in deciding whether and when to redeem shares. A large sale or redemption of shares by J.P.
Morgan acting on behalf of its clients could result in the underlying J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund selling
securities when it otherwise would not have done so, potentially increasing transaction costs and adversely
affecting fund performance. A large sale or redemption could also significantly reduce the assets of the
fund, causing decreased liquidity and, depending on any applicable expense caps, a higher expense ratio,
or liquidation of the fund. J.P. Morgan has policies and controls in place to govern and monitor its activities
and processes for identifying and managing such conflicts of interest.
Principal and Agency Transactions
Although J.P. Morgan does not do so currently in the Program, as permitted by applicable law (including
relevant consent requirements), J.P. Morgan, acting on behalf of its client accounts, from time to time, can
enter into principal transactions with or through J.P. Morgan. A “principal transaction” occurs if J.P. Morgan,
acting on behalf of its client accounts, knowingly buys a security from, or sells a security to, J.P. Morgan’s
or its affiliate’s own account.
Although J.P. Morgan does not do so currently in the Program, when permitted by applicable law and J.P.
Morgan’s policy (including relevant consent requirements), J.P. Morgan, acting on behalf of its client
accounts, can cause client accounts to engage in cross transactions and agency cross transactions with or
through J.P. Morgan.
A “cross transaction” occurs when J.P. Morgan arranges a transaction between different client accounts
where the client accounts buy and sell securities or other instruments from or to each other. For example,
in some instances a security to be sold by one client account would independently be considered
appropriate for purchase by another client account. In such cases, J.P. Morgan may, but is not required to,
cause the security to be “crossed” or transferred directly between the relevant accounts at an independently
determined market price and without incurring brokerage commissions, although customary custodian fees
and transfer fees would be incurred, no part of such fees will be received by J.P. Morgan.
An “agency cross transaction” occurs if J.P. Morgan acts as broker for and receives a commission from a
client account of J.P. Morgan on one side of the transaction and a brokerage account on the other side of
the transaction in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by J.P. Morgan’s client account.

J.P. Morgan faces potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities to the parties in the above
transactions, including with respect to a decision to enter into such transactions as well as with respect to
valuation, pricing and other terms. J.P. Morgan addresses this conflict by ensuring that no such transactions
will be effected unless J.P. Morgan determines that the transaction is in the best interest of each client
account and permitted by applicable law.
Potential Conflicts Relating to Valuation
JPMPI does not value securities in the Program client accounts or provide assistance in connection with
such valuation. JPMS, as custodian for the Program client accounts, values securities in such client
accounts. There is an inherent conflict of interest where JPMS, an affiliate of JPMPI, values securities or
assets in client accounts or provides any assistance in connection with such valuation and JPMS is
receiving a fee based on the value of such assets. Overvaluing certain positions held by clients will inflate
the value of the client assets as well as the performance record of such client accounts, which would likely
increase the fees payable to JPMS. As a result, there will be circumstances where JPMS is incentivized to
determine valuations that are higher than the actual fair value of investments. In addition, JPMS may use
multiple valuation sources that provide different values for a single asset. Furthermore, certain units within
J.P. Morgan may assign a different value to identical assets than JPMS because these units may have
certain information regarding valuation techniques and models or other information relevant to the valuation
of a specific asset or category of assets, which they do not share with JPMS. The various lines of business
within J.P. Morgan typically will be guided by specific policies and requirements with respect to valuation of
client holdings. Such policies will include valuations that are provided by third parties, when appropriate, as
well as comprehensive internal valuation methodologies. As a result, the determination of an account’s
asset values may differ for different purposes and different statements, reviews and reports.
On occasion, JPMS utilizes the services of affiliated pricing vendors for assistance with the pricing of certain
securities. In addition, securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or are deemed to be
unreliable, are fair valued in accordance with established policies and procedures. Fair value situations
could include, but are not limited to:
• A significant event that affects the value of a security;
• Illiquid securities;
• Securities that have defaulted or are de-listed from an exchange and are no longer trading; or
• Any other circumstance in which it is determined that current market quotations do not accurately reflect
the value of the security.
C.
Investing in Securities That JPMPI or a Related Person Recommends to Clients
JPMPI and its related persons may recommend or invest in securities on behalf of its clients that JPMPI
and its related persons may also purchase or sell for themselves. As a result, positions taken by JPMPI and
its related persons may be the same as or different from, or made contemporaneously or at different times
60
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
than, positions taken for clients of JPMPI. As these situations involve actual or potential conflicts of interest,
JPMPI has adopted policies and procedures relating to personal securities transactions, insider trading,
and other ethical considerations. These policies and procedures are intended to identify and mitigate actual
and perceived conflicts of interest and to resolve such conflicts appropriately if they do occur. The policies
and procedures contain provisions regarding preclearance of employee trading, reporting requirements,
and supervisory procedures that are designed to address potential conflicts of interest with respect to the
activities and relationships of related persons that might interfere or appear to interfere with making
decisions in the best interest of clients, including the prevention of front-running. JPMPI has implemented
monitoring systems designed to ensure compliance with these policies and procedures.
J.P. Morgan’s Proprietary Investments
JPMPI, J.P. Morgan, and any of their directors, partners, officers, agents or employees, also buy, sell or
trade securities for their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI and/or J.P. Morgan. JPMPI
and/or J.P. Morgan, within its discretion, can make different investment decisions and take other actions
with respect to their proprietary accounts than those made for client accounts, including the timing or nature
of such investment decisions or actions. The proprietary activities, investments or portfolio strategies of
JPMPI and/or J.P. Morgan give rise to a conflict of interest with the transactions and strategies employed
by JPMPI on behalf of its clients and affect the prices and availability of the investment opportunities in
which JPMPI invests on behalf of its clients. Further, JPMPI is not required to purchase or sell for any client
account securities that it, J.P. Morgan, and any of their employees, principals or agents purchase or sell for
their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI or J.P. Morgan. JPMPI, J.P. Morgan, and its
respective directors, officers and employees face a conflict of interest as they will have income or other
incentives to favor their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI or J.P. Morgan.
J.P. Morgan’s Policies and Regulatory Restrictions Affecting Client Accounts
As part of a global financial services firm, JPMPI will be precluded from effecting or recommending
transactions in certain client accounts and will restrict its investment decisions and activities on behalf of its
clients due to applicable law, regulatory requirements, other conflicts of interest, information held by JPMPI
or J.P. Morgan, JPMPI’s and/or J.P. Morgan’s roles in connection with other clients and in the capital
markets, J.P. Morgan’s internal policies and/or potential reputational risk. As a result, client accounts
managed by JPMPI may be precluded from acquiring, or disposing of, certain securities or instruments at
any time. This includes the securities issued by J.P. Morgan.
In addition, potential conflicts of interest also exist when J.P. Morgan maintains certain overall investment
limitations on positions in securities or other financial instruments due to, among other things, investment
restrictions imposed upon J.P. Morgan by law, regulation, contract or internal policies. These limitations
have precluded and, in the future could preclude, JPMPI from including particular securities or financial
instruments in its portfolios, even if the securities or financial instruments would otherwise meet the
investment objectives of such portfolio. For example, there are limits on the aggregate amount of
investments by affiliated investors in certain types of securities within a particular industry group that cannot
61
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
be exceeded without additional regulatory or corporate consent. If such aggregate ownership thresholds
are reached, the ability of a client to purchase or dispose of investments, or exercise rights or undertake
business transactions, will be restricted.
Potential conflicts of interest may also arise as a result of JPMPI’s current policy to seek to manage its
clients’ accounts so that the various requirements and liabilities imposed pursuant to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Section 16” and the “Exchange Act,” respectively) are not triggered.
Section 16 applies to, among other things, “beneficial owners” of 10% or more of any security subject to
reporting under the Exchange Act. In addition to certain reporting requirements, Section 16 also imposes
on such “beneficial owner” a requirement to disgorge of “short-swing” profits derived from the purchase and
sale or sale and purchase of the security, executed within a six-month period. JPMPI may be deemed to
be a “beneficial owner” of securities held by its advisory clients. Consequently, and given the potential
ownership level of the various accounts and funds managed by JPMPI for its clients, JPMPI may limit the
amount, or alter the timing, of purchases of securities, in order not to trigger the foregoing requirements. As
a result, certain contemplated transactions that otherwise would be consummated by JPMPI on behalf of
its clients will not take place, will be limited in their size or will be delayed.
Furthermore, J.P. Morgan has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance
with economic and trade sanctions–related obligations applicable to its activities (although such obligations
are not necessarily the same obligations that its clients may be subject to). Such economic and trade
sanctions prohibit or restrict, among other things, transactions with and the provision of services to, directly
or indirectly, certain countries, territories, entities and individuals. These economic and trade sanctions,
together with similar measures, and the application by JPMPI of its compliance policies and procedures in
respect thereof, may restrict or limit a client’s account’s investment activities. For example, in January 2025,
a new “outbound investment” regime (the “OIR”) took effect in the U.S., which prohibits or requires
notification to the U.S. Treasury with respect to certain transactions involving the People’s Republic of China
(inclusive of Hong Kong and Macau, "China") based or owned companies that operate in specified sectors,
including semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technology, and artificial intelligence.
Compliance with such restrictions may restrict, limit, or prevent the IAR or a client’s account from pursuing
certain investments, cause delays or other impediments with respect to consummating such investments,
require notification of such investments to government authorities, require divestment of investments on
unfavorable terms, negatively impact a client account’s ability to achieve its investment objective or divest
from certain investments, restrict participation in certain investments by certain investors, or increase
diligence and other similar costs to a client’s account. Any of these outcomes could adversely affect a client
account’s performance with respect to such investments and the account’s performance overall. As a result
of recent legislation, the scope of these provisions is likely to change, and the extent of such changes is
uncertain. The full effect of these restrictions is unclear and may be unpredictable. In addition, China or
other jurisdictions may implement countermeasures in response to these restrictions, which could further
adversely impact the value or liquidity of client accounts' investments or limit the ability to repatriate assets.
62
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
In addition, J.P. Morgan from time to time subscribes to or otherwise elects to become subject to investment
policies on a firm-wide basis, including policies relating to environmental, social and corporate governance.
JPMPI may also limit transactions and activities for reputational or other reasons, including (i) when J.P.
Morgan provides or may provide advice or services to an entity involved in such activity or transaction, (ii)
when J.P. Morgan or a client is or may be engaged in the same or a related activity or transaction to that
being considered on behalf of the client account, (iii) when J.P. Morgan or a client account has an interest
in an entity involved in such activity or transaction, or (iv) when its activity or transaction on behalf of or in
respect of the client account could affect J.P. Morgan, JPMPI, their clients or their activities. J.P. Morgan
may also become subject to additional restrictions on its business activities that could have an impact on
the client accounts’ activities. In addition, JPMPI could restrict its investment decisions and activities on
behalf of particular client accounts and not other accounts.
D.
Conflicts of Interest Created by Contemporaneous Trading
Recommendation or Investments in Securities that JPMPI or Its Related Persons may also
Purchase or Sell
JPMPI and its related persons may recommend or invest in securities on behalf of its clients that JPMPI
and its related persons may also purchase or sell themselves. Please refer to Item 12 for more information
on Participating Accounts. As a result, positions taken by JPMPI and its related persons will be the same
as or different from, or made contemporaneously or at different times than, positions taken for other
accounts by JPMIM or JPMCB. As these situations involve actual or potential conflicts of interest, JPMPI
has adopted policies and procedures relating to personal securities transactions, insider trading and other
ethical considerations. These policies and procedures are intended to identify and mitigate actual and
perceived conflicts of interest with clients and to resolve such conflicts appropriately if they do occur. The
policies and procedures contain provisions regarding preclearance of employee trading, reporting
requirements and supervisory procedures that are designed to address potential conflicts of interest with
respect to the activities and relationships of related persons that might interfere or appear to interfere with
making decisions in the best interest of clients.
Conflicts Related to the Advising of Multiple Accounts
Certain portfolio managers of JPMPI manage or advise multiple client accounts, investment vehicles or
portfolios. These portfolio managers are not required to devote all or any specific portion of their working
time to specific client accounts or investment vehicles. Conflicts of interest do arise in allocating
management time, services or functions among such clients, including clients that have the same or similar
type of investment strategies. JPMPI addresses these conflicts by disclosing them to clients and through
its supervision of portfolio managers and their teams. Responsibility for managing JPMPI’s client accounts
is organized according to investment strategies within asset classes. Generally, client accounts with similar
strategies are managed by portfolio managers in the same portfolio management team using the same or
similar objectives, approach and philosophy. Therefore, client account holdings, relative position sizes, and
63
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
industry and sector exposures generally tend to be similar across client accounts with similar strategies.
However, JPMPI faces conflicts of interest when JPMPI’s portfolio managers manage accounts or portfolios
with similar investment objectives and strategies. For example, investment opportunities that are
appropriate for certain clients may also be appropriate for other clients, including the clients of JPMPI, other
affiliated investment advisers, and related persons, and as a result client accounts would have to compete
for positions. There is no specific limit on the number of accounts that will be managed or advised by JPMPI
or its related persons. Once held by a client account, certain investments compete with other investments
held by other client accounts of JPMPI and its related persons. The conflict associated with managing
assets on behalf of different clients that compete with each other are heightened when JPMPI retains certain
management, control or consent rights over such assets. JPMPI has controls in place to monitor and
mitigate these potential conflicts of interest.
it is JPMPI’s policy, to the extent practicable, to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment
opportunities among clients over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis. One or more of JPMPI’s
other client accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of, or otherwise deal with
positions in investments in which another client account would have an interest. For instance, due to
differences in investment strategies, JPMPI might sell a security for a client at the same time that it might
hold or purchase the same security for a different client.
Positions taken by a certain client account or the accounts of clients of affiliates for whom JPMPI executes
trades can also dilute or otherwise negatively affect the values, prices or investment strategies associated
with positions held by a different client account. For example, this can occur when investment decisions for
one client are based on research or other information that is also used to support portfolio decisions by
JPMPI or an affiliate for a different client following the same, similar, or different investment strategies or by
an affiliate of JPMPI in managing its clients’ accounts. When a portfolio decision or strategy is implemented
for an account ahead of, or contemporaneously with, similar portfolio decisions or strategies for JPMPI or
an affiliate’s other client (whether or not the portfolio decisions emanate from the same research analysis
or other information), market impact, liquidity constraints or other factors could result in one account being
disadvantaged or receiving less favorable investment results than the other account, and the costs of
implementing such portfolio decisions or strategies could be increased.
In addition, it may be perceived as a conflict of interest when activity in one account closely correlates with
the activity in a similar account, such as when a purchase by one account increases the value of the same
securities previously purchased by another account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price
received in a sale by a second account. Furthermore, if JPMPI or an affiliate manages accounts that engage
in short sales of securities in which other accounts invest, JPMPI or its affiliate could be seen as harming
the performance of one account for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the short sales
cause the market value of the securities to fall.

File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Conflicts Related to Allocation to Affiliate Accounts
Potential conflicts of interest also arise involving both the aggregation of trade orders and allocation of
securities transactions or investment opportunities. Allocations of aggregated trades and allocation of
investment opportunities raise a potential conflict of interest because JPMPI has an incentive to allocate
trades or investment opportunities to certain accounts or funds. Fees earned for accounts managed by
affiliates (“Affiliate Accounts”) can be different than fees for the Program. In addition, the assets under
management for individual Affiliate Accounts are generally higher than the assets under management for
individual program accounts and, therefore, affiliates can receive more gross compensation with respect to
Affiliate Accounts than JPMS and JPMPI receive from program accounts. This creates a potential conflict
of interest for JPMPI and its affiliates or the portfolio managers by providing an incentive to favor these
Affiliate Accounts as to time spent managing such accounts, placing securities transactions or when
allocating securities to clients. JPMPI has established policies, procedures and practices to manage the
conflicts described above to ensure that accounts are treated equitably and fairly over time. Refer to Item
12 below for more information.
ITEM 12
Brokerage Practices
A.
Factors Considered in Selecting or Recommending Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions Broker
Selection
Clients enrolled in the Program authorize and direct JPMS and investment advisers to which JPMS has
delegated brokerage discretion, in the client agreement, to effect transactions for their accounts through
JPMS, subject to WMS or the relevant investment adviser’s duty to seek best execution and JPMS’
capacity and willingness to execute the transactions.
1.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits.
JPMPI does not receive research or other soft dollar benefits in connection with client transactions
in the Program.
2.
Brokerage for Client Referrals.
JPMPI does not compensate persons for client referrals to the Program.
3.
Directed Brokerage.
JPMS clients in the Program are not permitted to direct brokerage to broker-dealers other than
JPMS.
B.
Order Aggregation
65
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
For accounts in the Program, JPMS or its affiliates generally aggregate contemporaneous purchase or
sale orders of the same security or Fund across multiple client accounts in the Program. Please review the
WMS Form ADV, Part 2A for more information.
ITEM 13
Review of Accounts
A.
Frequency and Nature of Review of Client Accounts
JPMPI periodically reviews the investment strategies, Funds, and SMA/Model Managers available in the
Program in an effort to ensure that the strategies, Funds, and SMA/Model Managers continue to meet
applicable requirements.
B.
Content and Frequency of Account Reports to Clients
JPMPI does not provide performance reports to the Program clients. Clients receive written account
statements from JPMS or the client’s custodian and also receive written quarterly performance reports
from JPMS.
ITEM 14
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A.
Economic Benefits for Providing Services to Clients
No person who is not a client provides an economic benefit to JPMPI for providing investment advice or
other advisory services to the Program accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to compliance
with applicable law, JPMPI and/or its affiliates derives ancillary benefits from providing investment advisory
services to clients. For example, providing such advisory services to clients generally helps JPMPI
enhance its relationships with various parties and facilitate additional business development, and also
enables JPMPI and its related persons to obtain additional business and generate additional revenue. In
addition, J.P. Morgan may derive ancillary benefits from certain decisions made by JPMPI on behalf of
clients. J.P. Morgan may receive administrative and servicing and other fees for providing services to both
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and third-party funds that are held in the client’s portfolio. While JPMPI has
an obligation to make decisions for the best interests of its clients, in certain circumstances, JPMPI can
make investments or decisions that result in greater fees, allocations, compensation, or other benefits to
J.P. Morgan than if other decisions had been made that also may have been appropriate.
The Code of Conduct does not permit employees to accept anything of value personally in connection with
the business of J.P. Morgan. Subject to strictly enforced compliance policies, in limited circumstances
exceptions will be made for certain nominal non-cash gifts, meals, refreshments and entertainment provided
in the course of a host-attended, business-related meeting or other occasion.
B.
Compensation to Non-Supervised Persons for Client Referrals
66
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Neither JPMPI nor any related person of JPMPI directly or indirectly compensates any person who is not
its supervised person for client referrals to a Program account.
ITEM 15
Custody
JPMPI generally does not maintain physical custody of client assets. Client assets are typically held by a
qualified custodian pursuant to a separate custody agreement. However, pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 under
the Advisers Act, JPMPI may be deemed to have custody of client assets under certain circumstances.
To the extent JPMS directly or indirectly holds clients’ funds or securities or has authority to obtain
possession of them, clients will receive account statements at least quarterly directly from JPMS. Clients
should carefully review their account statements. Clients are encouraged to compare the account
statements that they receive from their qualified custodian with those that they receive from JPMS to the
extent JPMS is not the custodian. If clients do not receive statements at least quarterly from their qualified
custodian in a timely manner, they should contact JPMS immediately.
ITEM 16
Investment Discretion
JPMS and the client enter into an investment advisory agreement authorizing JPMS and investment
advisers to which JPMS has delegated investment discretion, including JPMPI, to act on behalf of the
account.
Managed Accounts
JPMS, JPMPI and its affiliates have discretionary authority, to be exercised in their judgment and consistent
with the investment strategy selected by the client, to determine the allocation of assets (inclusive of
selecting, adding, removing, or replacing) among Funds or other securities.
Guided Accounts
JPMPI makes recommendations regarding the allocation guidelines and risk parameters for the Guided
Account Models. Asset allocation guidelines may be changed from time to time by JPMPI.
Research Services – Other JPMS Advisory Programs
JPMPI provides research services with respect to certain strategies offered by JPMS and does not have
investment discretion with respect to these research services.

ITEM 17
Voting Client Securities
Information Regarding Voting Client Securities, Corporate Actions and Class Actions
JPMPI will not vote proxies (or give advice about how to vote proxies) relating to securities or other property
currently or formerly held in a client’s account. Instead, clients of JPMS have the right to vote for any
securities and other property in their account.
Beginning on or after April 1, 2026, unless client retains proxy voting authority, clients grant JPMS the
limited authority to select, appoint, and remove one or more agents and attorneys-in-fact for the sole
purpose of exercising client’s right to vote proxies relating to securities owned by or held for their Program
account(s). This will not apply to Guided Accounts where client retains the authority and responsibility to
vote proxies for their own Program account. Beginning on or after April 1, 2026, the proxy agent so
appointed is JPMIM. For more information on voting client securities, refer to the applicable JPMS Form
ADV, Part 2A, which are available at the SEC’s website at adviserinfo.sec.gov.
ITEM 18
Financial Information
JPMPI is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its
contractual commitments to clients, nor has JPMPI been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time
during the past ten years.

Advisory Business
A.
General Description of Advisory Firm
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), a Delaware corporation, is a registered investment adviser
that provides advisory services to open-end and closed-end Registered Investment Companies (“RICs”)
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); provides investment advice
and/or administrative functions for private investment funds organized as limited partnerships, limited
liability companies, or offshore companies (“Private Funds”); and provides discretionary and non-
discretionary investment management services in various wrap fee programs offered through an affiliate,
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMS”). This Brochure describes the investment advisory services JPMPI
provides to RICs and the Private Funds. (For the purposes of this Brochure, such RICs and Private Funds
are collectively referred to as the “Funds.”)
JPMPI was incorporated on November 25, 1991. JPMPI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase
& Co., which, together with its affiliates (collectively, “J.P. Morgan” or "JPMC"), is engaged in a large
number of financial businesses worldwide, including banking, asset management, securities brokerage,
and investment advisory services. As relevant to this Brochure, JPMPI is also affiliated with the following
entities, which are also affiliates of each other as well as J.P. Morgan: JPMS, J.P. Morgan Investment
Management Inc. (“JPMIM”) and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”).
B.
Description of Advisory Service
This Brochure describes the investment advisory services that JPMPI provides to the Funds. Where JPMPI
provides investment advisory services to a Fund, JPMPI deems the Fund, and not the investors in such
Fund, as its advisory client. The description of the Funds in this Brochure does not contain all of the
information a prospective investor should consider before investing in such Funds. A prospective investor
should carefully read the entire prospectus or other offering documents of a Fund before deciding whether
to invest in such Fund.
Investment Advisory Services to Private Funds
The Private Funds to which JPMPI provides investment advisory services include hedge funds (“Hedge
Funds”), private equity funds (“Private Equity Funds”) and certain private equity funds serving as conduit
vehicles (“Conduits”) or special purpose vehicles (“Single-Purpose SPVs”), and real estate funds (“Real
Estate Funds”), each as described more fully below.
Hedge Funds
With respect to Hedge Funds (except the ISS Funds (defined below) and the insurance-dedicated funds
(“IDF”)), JPMPI identifies certain investment strategies and retains an unaffiliated sub-adviser to implement
such investment strategies through investments in underlying hedge funds advised by unaffiliated
investment advisers. In this capacity, JPMPI does not make day-to-day investment decisions.
4
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
In addition, JPMPI acts as sub-adviser and makes the investment decisions with respect to a series of IDFs.
A portion of the assets will be invested in hedge funds and other pooled investment vehicles advised by
affiliated and/or unaffiliated investment advisers across asset classes of equities, fixed income and
alternative investments. IDFs also may invest in separately managed accounts, funds of one, mutual funds,
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) or other pooled investment vehicles or derivatives, each of which can be
managed by, issued by, sponsored by, controlled by, advised by or otherwise affiliated with JPMPI, its
affiliates or a third-party.
Investment Strategy Selection Fund
JPMPI is the investment adviser for the Investment Strategy Selection Fund (“ISS Fund”), an investment
vehicle that offers equity and fixed income separately managed account strategies, including model delivery
strategies (“separately managed account strategies”), and mutual funds generally for non-U.S. persons
to invest in. JPMPI is responsible for determining which investment strategies that are available on J.P.
Morgan’s Private Bank platform will be offered through the ISS Fund and for determining the specific
mandate elections for each strategy investment. The investment strategies can be managed by affiliates
of JPMPI or unaffiliated advisers. JPMPI does not provide advice or recommendations on asset allocation.
It will be the responsibility of the client to determine the appropriate asset allocation and monitor for
deviations from its allocation targets in accordance with such client’s investment objectives and risk
tolerance.
Private Equity Funds, Conduits and Single-Purpose SPVs
JPMPI, as the investment adviser, provides advisory services to, and makes the investment decisions for
certain Private Equity Funds that invest in underlying funds including core private equity, growth equity and
venture capital, private credit and real asset funds (the “Vintage Funds”) and for certain other Private
Equity Funds that invest in underlying funds that have a sector-specific or other thematic focus (the
“Thematic Funds”). In each case, the underlying funds are advised by affiliated and/or unaffiliated
investment advisers. Certain Vintage and Thematic Funds may also participate in co-investment and
secondary investment opportunities (“opportunistic investments”) at the discretion of JPMPI. JPMPI also
acts as investment adviser to certain Private Equity Funds for which JPMIM acts as sub-adviser and for
which JPMIM, and not JPMPI, makes the investment decisions.
Certain Private Equity Funds are organized as Conduits where JPMPI is the investment adviser. Each
Conduit is a special purpose entity (typically, a Delaware limited liability company or a non-U.S. company
or limited partnership) formed for the sole purpose of aggregating investor assets into a single entity and
investing such assets into a designated underlying fund, which is typically a private equity fund managed
by an unaffiliated third party.
Certain Private Equity Funds may be organized as Single-Purpose SPVs where JPMPI is the investment
adviser. Each Single-Purpose SPV (which may be a Delaware series limited liability company or limited
partnership, or a non-U.S. company or limited partnership) will be formed for the sole purpose of
aggregating investor assets into a single entity and investing such assets into one or more portfolio
5
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
companies, which are generally expected to be growth stage companies in all cases operated by an
unaffiliated third party.
Administrative Services to Private Funds
In addition to the advisory services described above, JPMPI acts, solely, in an administrative capacity on
behalf of certain other Conduits (the “Administered Conduits”) formed solely to invest into a designated
underlying private equity fund, hedge fund or real estate fund. Unlike the Conduits described above, JPMPI
does not provide investment advice to the Administered Conduits, and the description in this Brochure of
JPMPI’s advisory services does not apply to the Administered Conduits.
Real Estate Funds
JPMPI is the investment adviser to Real Estate Funds referred to as the “Junius Funds.” The Junius Funds
were previously managed by a boutique real estate investment team within JPMPI specializing in the
acquisition, development, financing, ownership and operation of special situation real estate opportunities
involving commercial, hotel and residential properties (“Junius”). On March 20, 2022, the investment
personnel and certain other members of the Junius team departed J.P. Morgan to form and join a new
registered investment adviser, which is unaffiliated with JPMPI, operating under the name JRE Advisors
LLC (“JRE”). JPMPI continues to serve as investment adviser to the Junius Funds and has retained JRE
pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement to assist JPMPI with its continuing management and operation
responsibilities of the Junius Funds from and after March 20, 2022 pursuant to the investment advisory
agreements with each of the Junius funds. Under this arrangement, the former members of the Junius
team now employed at JRE continue to actively manage the Junius Funds, subject to review and oversight
by JPMPI.
See Item 8 below for more information regarding the Private Funds.
Investment Advisory Services to RICs
JPMPI provides investment advisory services to various RICs registered under the 1940 Act, acting either
as an investment adviser or sub-adviser to the RICs. Below is a list of the RICs managed by JPMPI as of
the date of this Brochure.
Six Circles Funds
JPMPI acts as the investment adviser to the Six Circles Trust, a series of registered open-end RICs (the
“Six Circles Funds”). The Six Circles Funds are specifically designed and used by JPMPI and its affiliates
in discretionary accounts as completion funds to align with JPMPI's core portfolio views. JPMPI engages
unaffiliated investment managers as sub-advisers to manage or co-manage with JPMPI the Six Circles
Funds' investment portfolios. In addition, certain Funds may invest in wholly-owned subsidiaries organized
under the laws of the Cayman Islands.
6
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
Access Multi-Strategy Funds
JPMPI serves as the investment adviser to two closed-end RICs (the “Access Multi-Strategy Funds”). In
its capacity as investment adviser, JPMPI makes the day-to-day investment decisions for the Access Multi-
Strategy Funds, which includes the selection of primarily hedge funds, advised by unaffiliated investment
advisers.
JPMPI also serves as the administrator to the Access Multi-Strategy Funds, and, in turn, contracts with a
third party sub-administrator, to provide oversight and administrative services to the Access Multi-Strategy
Funds.
On June 18, 2025, the Boards of the Access Multi-Strategy Funds approved a proposal to liquidate each
Fund pursuant to the terms of a plan of liquidation for each Fund. The Access Multi-Strategy Funds are in
liquidation and anticipate paying the final liquidating distributions during the third calendar quarter of 2027,
although market, economic or other factors, including the timing of the Funds’ receipt of proceeds of
redemptions from underlying investment funds, could result in the Funds’ liquidating distributions being paid
earlier or later than anticipated.
See Item 8 below for more information regarding the RICs.
Other Advisory Services
In addition to the advisory services JPMPI provides to the Funds, JPMPI provides advisory services to
certain wrap fee programs sponsored by JPMS. Information about the services JPMPI provides to such
programs is described in a separate JPMPI Form ADV brochure, which is available at the SEC’s website at
https://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. In addition, for more information on the wrap fee programs, please see
the applicable JPMS Form ADV, Part 2A Appendix 1, SEC File No. 801-3702, for those programs.
C.
Availability of Customized Services for Clients
Investment objectives, guidelines and any investment restrictions generally are not tailored to the needs of
individual investors in a Fund, but rather are described in the prospectus or other relevant offering document
for the Fund. Investors in the Funds cannot impose restrictions on investments in certain securities or types
of securities in the Funds.
D.
Wrap Fee Programs
Information about the services JPMPI provides in certain wrap fee programs sponsored by JPMS is
described in a separate brochure as described above.

Funds. These assets are included in both the regulatory assets under management reported for the Six
Circles Funds, as well as the regulatory assets under management reported by JPMPI for accounts
managed on a discretionary basis that invest in Six Circles Funds.
ITEM 5
Fees and Compensation
A.
Advisory Fees and Compensation
Private Funds
JPMPI is generally paid a fee based on net asset value, net invested capital, or capital commitments with
respect to the Hedge Funds, Real Estate Funds, Private Equity Funds, Single-Purpose SPVs and Conduits
(other than certain Administered Conduits). For certain Private Funds, JPMPI is entitled to receive or share
performance compensation contingent upon the Funds’ realizing a predetermined rate of return. The
management fees JPMPI earns for Private Funds generally range from 0.10% to 1.50% of assets per year
(depending on capital invested or commitments of a certain size, as more fully disclosed in the offering and
organizational documents of such Private Fund) and performance compensation, if any, generally range
from 2% to 20% per year, in certain cases subject to a hurdle rate or waterfall. For certain Thematic Funds,
the management fee and performance fee that JPMPI earns is solely on the co-investments or opportunistic
investments made by the funds. In certain cases, JPMPI will pay a portion of its fee to an affiliated or
unaffiliated sub-adviser. Additional information regarding advisory and related fees is available in the
offering and organizational documents of the Private Funds. The management fees and performance
8
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
compensation are generally not negotiable and, along with the other fees described above, are charged to
each Private Fund and are generally allocated among the capital accounts or shares of the investors, as
more fully disclosed in the offering and organizational documents of such Private Fund. Since such fees
are payable in arrears, compensation is not payable until after services are provided. The underlying funds
in which the Private Funds invest, as applicable, also charge fees that are indirectly borne by investors in
the Private Funds as described more fully in their respective offering materials.
ISS Fund
In addition to the management fee JPMPI receives, affiliates of JPMPI are entitled to receive fees for its
management of certain underlying investment strategies and model delivery strategies to which the ISS
Fund provides access (the “Underlying Strategy Fees”). The specific terms relating to the Underlying
Strategy Fees applicable to an investor in the ISS Fund that are attributable to an underlying investment
strategy, including any management fees, fee adjustments, fee rebates, performance fees or allocations,
or other charges as applicable, are set out in the ISS Fund’s offering memorandum and relevant
supplement.
Additionally, JPMPI receives an administrative fee of 0.25% to compensate JPMPI for certain administrative
and reporting services, including, but not limited to, opening and closing accounts, engagement of service
providers, tax and regulatory reporting, and custodial services, required to manage the operations of the
ISS Fund, though JPMPI may waive such a fee in its discretion.
RICs
JPMPI currently charges an annual investment advisory fee of 0.25% for each of the Six Circles Funds
(other than for the Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund and the Six Circles Multi-Strategy Fund, for which
JPMPI charges 0.75% and 1.25%, respectively) as a percentage of average daily net assets for providing
advisory services to the Six Circles Funds, but does not retain that fee, through an agreement with the Six
Circles Funds to waive any investment advisory fees that exceed the fees JPMPI is contractually required
to pay the Funds’ non-J.P. Morgan sub-advisers. Further, the Six Circles Funds currently do not pay fees
to JPMPI or its affiliates for any other services to the Six Circles Funds. Services are provided by unaffiliated
service providers and are paid by the Six Circles Funds or J.P. Morgan. (The market value of assets
invested in the Six Circles Funds will be included in calculating the advisory fees paid on an overall client
portfolio.)
For its investment advisory services to the Access Multi-Strategy Funds, JPMPI charges an annual fee of
1.00% per year as a percentage of average daily net assets. Effective July 1, 2025, JPMPI has contractually
agreed to waive its management fee of 1.00% through the duration of the liquidation of the Access Multi-
Strategy Funds. For its role as administrator to the Access Multi-Strategy Funds, JPMPI charges an annual
fee of 0.13%, a portion of which it pays to a third party sub-administrator.
Additional information regarding advisory, sub-advisory and management fees, and any applicable waivers,
is available in the prospectuses and the Statement of Additional Information for the Six Circles Funds, and
the Offering Memoranda for the Access Multi-Strategy Funds.

B.
Payment of Fees
Fees for the Private Funds are billed from each Private Fund’s account on an ongoing basis (e.g., monthly,
quarterly, annually). Additional information regarding advisory and related fees is available in the offering
and organizational documents of the Private Funds.
Fees for the Access Multi-Strategy Funds are deducted from each Fund’s account by JPMPI monthly in
arrears.
Fees for the Six Circles Funds, which are paid out to third party sub-advisers, are accrued daily and
deducted from each Fund’s account monthly in arrears.
C.
Additional Fees and Expenses
In connection with JPMPI’s advisory services to Funds, investors in such Funds bear or are assessed the
following types of fees and expenses. To the extent these costs are borne by JPMPI (or any of its affiliates)
on behalf of the Fund, the Fund will generally reimburse such costs unless otherwise determined by JPMPI
or any of its affiliates. Please refer to the relevant prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, offering
memorandum and organizational documents for additional information.
One-time Fee (Origination Fee): For the Private Funds, investors may be charged a one-time origination
fee as more fully disclosed in the Private Fund’s offering and organizational documents.
Organizational and Offering Expenses: Investors bear or are assessed a Fund’s organizational and
offering expenses, as more fully disclosed in the Fund’s offering and organizational documents. Offering
expenses generally represent expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with the offering of interests.
For the Private Funds, these include, without limitation, any expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation and distribution of any offering memorandum, partnership agreements, credit facility
agreements, and supplements thereto (including legal and tax counsel fees), subscription materials,
placement agent costs (but excluding fees) which are allocated in each case pro rata among investors
based on their commitments or in such other equitable manner as determined by JPMPI in good faith.
Organizational expenses generally represent expenses incurred by the Fund (or an affiliate) in connection
with the organization of the Fund, including, without limitation, all costs, fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation and filing of the organizational and constitutional documents for any of the
Fund’s entities and its subsidiaries, and any other entity through which investments are directly or indirectly
held. For the Private Funds, such costs are allocated pro rata based on investor commitments or in such
other equitable manner as determined by JPMPI in its discretion. As such, these costs generally include,
but aren’t limited to, all related legal, tax, insurance, printing, mailing, translation, regulatory, registration,
reporting, filing and travel expenses and any other costs associated with the organization and offering of
the Fund. Organizational and offering expenses incurred with respect to a co-investment opportunity will
generally be borne pro rata by the investors participating in the co-investment, including the participating
Funds based on percentage participation. JPMPI may, as appropriate, allocate to the co-investment
structure and/or other co-invest funds a portion of the third-party legal fees related to the preparation of
organizational documents and the offering memorandum for the first co-investment fund to close where it
is determined that such costs are not related to disclosures or terms specific to the first fund. For RICs,
10
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
organizational and offering costs, including professional fees, printing fees and initial registration costs, are
included as part of Fund expenses amortized over a period not longer than twelve months from the date
the Fund commences operations.
Operating Expenses: Investors bear or are assessed a Fund’s operating expenses, as more fully
disclosed in the Fund’s offering and organizational documents. Operating expenses generally represent all
costs, fees and expenses related to the Fund’s operations, to the extent permissible by law, including,
without limitation, investment due diligence, reasonable travel and lodging expenses in connection with the
Fund or its investments, transfer taxes, credit facility or subscription line or other financing fees and
expenses, governmental or regulatory filings, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation
or amendment of Fund agreements, contracts and documents, insurance premiums, tax preparation and
regulatory filings and registrations, audit, custody, investment valuation, financial reporting, independent
directors, depositary, technology expenses related to portfolio, administration and tax reporting, costs of
any litigation related to the business of the Fund, costs and expenses incurred with the termination,
dissolution, winding-up and/or liquidation of the Fund and affiliated entities, costs, fees and expenses of the
administrator or unaffiliated manager or other service providers who assist in the operation of the Fund,
taxes payable by the Fund or affiliated entities, and any other costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the ownership, operation, auditing, accounting, tax, legal, financing, reporting, maintenance, leasing,
management, repair and sale of any Fund transaction, investment or affiliated entity. For the avoidance of
doubt, operating expenses incurred relating to a co-investment will generally be borne by the investors
participating in the co-investment. Cost associated with broken deals will likely be treated as Fund expenses
or, in the event of multi-asset Funds that do not launch, allocated to (a) future Fund(s) so long as those
costs are to the benefit of the future Fund. Qualified operating expenses are allocated in each case pro rata
among investors based on their commitments or in such other equitable manner as determined by JPMPI
in its discretion. Separately, on a deal-by-deal basis, JPMS as a registered broker-dealer serving as
placement agent for the Private Funds endeavors to negotiate an expense cap or partial reimbursement
arrangement with third party managers for the set up costs and expenses incurred by the Private Funds.
These reimbursable expenses may include organizational, offering and/or ongoing expenses and can be
initially borne by the Fund and subsequently reimbursed by the third party manager.
Where JPMPI has invested Fund assets in pooled investment vehicles, the Fund generally will pay all fees
and expenses applicable to an investment in the pooled investment vehicle. These pooled investment
vehicle fees and expenses can, in some cases, include fees and expenses payable to JPMPI or its affiliates
for their services. If the pooled investment vehicle is a private fund, these fees and expenses can include
fund level management fees, incentive or performance compensation and organization and ongoing costs
and expenses. If the pooled investment vehicle is a mutual fund, these fees and expenses can include
investment advisory and service fees. Investors in the Funds will generally bear a proportionate share of
the fees and expenses of each underlying investment fund in which the Fund invests, as described more
fully below. All fees and expenses of underlying investment vehicles are generally in addition to the advisory
fees payable by the Funds to JPMPI (and borne by investors in the Funds). Additional information about
fees and expenses is available in the offering documents, organizational documents, prospectuses, and
other documents for the Private Funds and RICs.

D.
Prepayment of Fees
The Funds pay JPMPI advisory fees in arrears, and such fees are not paid in advance.
E.
Additional Compensation and Conflicts of Interest
Neither JPMPI nor any of its supervised persons accepts compensation for the sale of securities or other
investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of Funds.
ITEM 6
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
JPMPI manages accounts that are charged both asset-based fees and performance-based fees. JPMPI
also manages accounts that are charged only asset-based fees. JPMPI from time to time utilizes
substantially similar investment strategies and invests in substantially similar assets for both account types.
This portfolio management relationship is often referred to as “side-by-side management.” Accounts that
pay performance-based fees reward JPMPI based on the performance in those accounts. As a result,
performance-based fee arrangements likely provide a heightened incentive for JPMPI to make investments
that present a greater potential for return but also a greater risk of loss and that can be more speculative
than if only asset-based fees were applied. On the other hand, JPMPI will likely have an interest in engaging
in comparatively safer investments when managing accounts that pay only asset-based fees. The
side-by-side management of accounts that pay performance-based fees and accounts that pay only asset-
based fees creates a conflict of interest because there is an incentive for the portfolio manager to favor
accounts with the potential to pay JPMPI greater fees. For example, JPMPI will be faced with a conflict of
interest when allocating scarce investment opportunities given the possibility of greater fees from accounts
that pay performance-based fees as opposed to accounts that do not pay performance-based fees. Areas
in which scarce investment opportunities may exist include local and emerging and frontier markets, high
yield securities, certain fixed income securities, regulated industries, real estate assets, primary
investments in alternative investment funds, direct or indirect investments in and co-investments alongside
alternative investment funds and new issue securities.
JPMPI believes that such conflicts of interest are mitigated because the type of advice JPMPI provides to
accounts that are charged performance-based fees are generally different from the type of advice JPMPI
provides to accounts that pay only asset-based fees. JPMPI believes that conflicts are also mitigated
because JPMPI generally does not allocate the same investments between accounts paying performance-
based fees and those paying asset-based fees, and because accounts paying asset-based fees invest
predominantly in traditional assets classes through mutual funds (the prices of which are fixed at the close
of the trading day for all investors) and ETFs, while the Funds that charge performance fees predominantly
invest in alternative strategies and generally do not invest in mutual funds, ETFs, or individual securities.
JPMPI also has policies and procedures designed to manage conflicts and, to the extent practicable, to
allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment opportunities among clients over a period of time on a
fair and equitable basis, and monitors a variety of areas, including compliance with fund or account
guidelines, reviews of allocation decisions, and compliance with JPMPI’s Code of Ethics (the “Code of
Ethics”) and the J.P. Morgan Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”).

ITEM 7
Types of Clients
Where JPMPI provides advisory services to Funds, JPMPI deems the Funds, and not the investors in such
Funds, as its advisory clients. Investors who purchase the Private Funds and invest in the RICs are
generally clients of J.P. Morgan Private Bank, JPMS or employees of J.P. Morgan. Investors in the Funds
generally include U.S. and non-U.S. individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and
other business entities, and retirement accounts. Investors in the IDFs include qualified insurance
companies. In addition, investors in the Access Multi-Strategy Funds must be “Accredited Investors” as
defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Investors in
the Private Funds generally must be “Qualified Purchasers” as defined in the 1940 Act. As described in
the respective Fund’s prospectus or offering memorandum, there are generally minimum investments or
specific investor eligibility criteria for each Fund.
ITEM 8
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
JPMPI utilizes different methods of analysis that are tailored for each of the investment strategies it offers
its clients. Set forth below are the primary methods of analysis and investment strategies that JPMPI utilizes
in formulating investment advice or managing assets.
A.
Methods of Analysis
JPMPI oversees the investment activities of Hedge Funds, Private Equity Funds, Conduits (other than
Administered Conduits), Real Estate Funds and the RICs. All funds and/or sub-adviser strategies selected
by JPMPI for investment by Funds are subject to a due diligence process by the Multi-Asset Private Markets
Investment team, Hedge Fund Due Diligence team and Investment & Research team (collectively, the
“investment due diligence team”), as well as a separate operational due diligence team (the “operational
due diligence team”). The descriptions of the investment strategies below are qualified in their entirety by
the information included in a Private Fund’s offering memorandum or a RIC’s prospectus or other official
offering documentation. Prior to investing in any Fund, a prospective investor should review the relevant
prospectus, offering memorandum, or other disclosure documents for important information.
Hedge Funds
With respect to Hedge Funds (except the ISS Fund and the IDFs), JPMPI identifies certain investment
strategies and retains an unaffiliated sub-adviser to implement such investment strategies through
investments in underlying hedge funds that are advised by unaffiliated investment advisers. The underlying
hedge funds are reviewed by the investment due diligence team and operational due diligence team. In
this capacity, JPMPI does not make day-to-day investment decisions. The underlying hedge fund
investments, typically use a variety of trading strategies and instruments, often including short-selling,
13
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
derivatives and leverage. Some funds invest in debt securities, such as leveraged loans and mortgage-
backed securities.
The IDF series invest primarily in underlying hedge funds and other pooled investment vehicles advised by
affiliated and/or unaffiliated investment advisers that are reviewed by the investment due diligence team
and operational due diligence team. With respect to such series, JPMPI generally selects such underlying
funds using a variety of investment strategies, including both multi-strategy and single-strategy approaches.
Specific strategies that are likely to be used by the underlying funds include, but are not limited to, equity,
fixed income and alternative investments. JPMPI invests assets of the series in equity-related securities
(that may include, but are not limited to, mutual funds, shares of ETFs, structured investments, convertible
securities, depository receipts and warrants to buy common stock), other fixed income and currency
instruments, and pooled investment vehicles advised by affiliated and/or unaffiliated investment advisers
that may follow a variety of investment strategies including investments in private equity, commodities or
mezzanine debt.
ISS Fund
As investment adviser of the ISS Fund, JPMPI has a limited role as it does not make asset allocation
decisions. JPMPI determines which separately managed account strategies, including model delivery
strategies, and mutual funds to include as part of the ISS Fund through the Investment Strategy Selection
Fund Oversight Council (“ISSOC”). The ISSOC reviews various criteria including, but not limited to, whether
the strategy has been approved by an internal governance committee, demand assessment, and operating
model fit to make strategy selection decisions. The ISSOC’s scope of activities includes adding and
removing strategies, making mandate elections for underlying strategies, overseeing the ISS Fund’s
operational governance, and periodically assessing the terms and fees for the ISS Fund. JPMPI does not
provide advice or recommendations on asset allocation. Clients are responsible for determining their asset
allocation to the various ISS Fund strategies is aligned with their investment objectives and risk tolerance.
Clients should monitor for deviations from its allocation targets which do not align with their investment
objectives and risk tolerance. The ISS Fund’s external Board of Directors would also approve any additions
or removals of strategies and will review fund activity and other matters during quarterly board meetings.
See the applicable offering document for principal terms, certain risk factors, potential conflicts of interest,
regulatory considerations and tax considerations.
Private Equity Funds, Single-Purpose SPVs and Conduits
The Vintage Funds seek to invest in underlying funds including private equity, growth equity and venture
capital, private credit and real asset funds, and the Thematic Funds seek to invest in underlying funds that
have a sector specific or other thematic focus, in each case, the underlying funds are advised by unaffiliated
and/or affiliated investment advisers. With respect to certain Conduits that invest in underlying private equity
funds, the Conduit will, generally, invest in a private equity fund advised by an unaffiliated investment
adviser to implement certain investment strategies. In these cases, JPMPI does not make day-to-day
investment decisions. With respect to a Single-Purpose SPV, it is expected that each Single-Purpose SPV
will, generally, invest in one or more portfolio companies which are generally expected to be growth stage
companies in all cases operated by an unaffiliated third party. In these cases, JPMPI does not make day-
to-day investment decisions for the underlying portfolio companies.

JPMPI provides advisory services to, and makes the investment decisions for, the Vintage Funds and the
Thematic Funds. The Vintage Funds generally seek aggregate long-term compounded returns in excess
of those available from a portfolio of conventional investments in the public markets, as applicable, by
investing in substantially all private equity, closed-ended private credit, and/ or private real asset funds.
Certain Vintage and Thematic Funds pursue opportunistic investments generated by sponsors of
underlying funds, new sponsors or affiliates of JPMPI.
Many of the underlying private funds that the Vintage Funds and Thematic Funds invest in are also offered
to eligible J.P. Morgan Private Bank and JPMS (together, “wealth management”) clients during each fund’s
commitment period; provided that the Vintage Funds and the Thematic Funds may not invest in one or
more funds that are so offered to wealth management clients if it is determined that such fund does not
represent an appropriate investment opportunity for the Vintage Funds or the Thematic Funds (for example,
if the fund is offered only to a specific type of wealth management client or if the fund in question does not
satisfy one or more criteria for selection including targeted return profile, timing with respect to investment
pipeline, duplication of or excess exposure to an underlying asset class, investment profile or other
investment criteria or other legal, tax, regulatory or risk based criteria). Private investment funds are
selected by the Multi-Asset Private Markets Investment Committee (“MAPM-IC”) after they have been
reviewed by the investment due diligence team and operational due diligence team and approved by an
internal governance committee. The identified private investment funds are expected to provide exposure
to a variety of industry sectors, geographic regions and investment strategies identified as compelling
investment opportunities. To the extent opportunistic investments are made available to a Vintage or
Thematic Fund, JPMPI will evaluate such opportunity based solely on the materials and information
provided and the due diligence performed by the sponsor of the underlying fund. Additionally, the MAPM-
IC reviews and approves all opportunistic investments. See the applicable offering document for a
description of the investment objective and method of analysis of the Vintage Funds and the Thematic
Funds.
For impact focused Thematic Funds, JPMPI utilizes its impact management strategy and proprietary impact
assessment framework (the “JPM Impact Management Framework”) to serve as a foundational
component in the selection of managers and underlying funds. JPMPI intends to utilize the JPM Impact
Management Framework to serve as a foundational component in the selection of managers and underlying
funds. The JPM Impact Management Framework provides a consistent framework to facilitate the
evaluation and relative comparison of individual managers. It utilizes a toolset that includes an analysis of
a manager’s strategic intent to deliver impact, the extent of its assimilation of environmental, social and
governance (“ESG”) and impact considerations into its processes and policies, and an investor contribution
analysis. Further, the JPM Impact Management Framework will allow JPMPI to assess managers with
respect to the alignment of each underlying fund’s impact objectives to the respective Thematic Fund’s
investable areas of focus. The analysis is completed in parallel to JPMPI’s existing investment review
process. The results are then summarized and presented for review and consideration by MAPM-IC and
included in JPMPI’s portfolio manager approval process.
Each Single-Purpose SPV may invest in one or more underlying portfolio companies in which another
Private Equity Fund or vehicle managed by an affiliate of JPMPI may also invest. The terms on which such
other Private Equity Funds invest in such portfolio company may be substantially different, and potentially
15
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
more favorable, than the terms on which the Single-Purpose SPVs (and, therefore, the other clients of
JPMPI investing in such Single-Purpose SPV). Given the amount of discretion JPMPI has with respect to
the allocation of an investment opportunity and associated expenses, there will be conflicts of interest
among JPMPI, such Private Equity Funds and other clients of JPMPI or its affiliates that may invest in such
opportunity.
Separately, JPMPI also acts as investment adviser to certain other Private Equity Funds for which JPMIM
acts as sub-adviser and for which JPMIM, and not JPMPI, makes the investment decisions.
Real Estate Funds
JPMPI is the investment adviser to certain real estate funds referred to as the Junius Funds. On March 20,
2022, the investment personnel and certain other members of the Junius team managing the Junius Funds
departed J.P. Morgan to form and join a new registered investment adviser, which is unaffiliated with JPMPI,
operating under the name JRE Advisors LLC. JPMPI continues to serve as investment adviser to the Junius
Funds and has retained JRE pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement to assist JPMPI with its continuing
management and operation responsibilities of the Junius Funds from and after March 20, 2022 pursuant to
the investment advisory agreements with each of the Junius Funds. Under this arrangement, the former
members of the Junius team now employed at JRE continue to actively manage the Junius Funds, subject
to review and oversight by JPMPI.
JRE specializes in the acquisition, development, financing, ownership and operation of special situation
real estate opportunities involving commercial, hotel and residential properties. JRE, subject to the
oversight of JPMPI, will make investment decisions based upon a various factors, including, without
limitation, a macro and micro research analysis and a quantitative financial analysis. Consideration of such
factors are intended to ensure the performance viability of the proposed investment and its compatibility
with a Junius Fund’s investment strategy and objectives. See the applicable Junius Fund offering materials
for a description of the investment objective, principal terms, certain risk factors, potential conflicts of
interest, regulatory considerations and tax matters.
RICs
Six Circles Funds
JPMPI, acting as investment adviser to the Six Circles Funds, has overall supervisory responsibility for the
general management and investment of each of the Six Circles Funds, subject to review and approval by
the independent Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Funds. JPMPI allocates the Six Circles Funds’ assets
among investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by JPMPI or co-managed by
JPMPI, as approved by the Board of Trustees, and is responsible for the oversight and evaluation of the
sub-advisers. JPMPI will review and determine the allocations among investment strategies and will make
changes to these allocations when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund. JPMPI may, in its discretion, add
to, delete from or modify the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund, or add other
investment strategies, including active strategies, managed by the sub-advisers at any time. JPMPI also
reserves the right to make direct stock selections and/or instruct the sub-adviser on individual securities
selections and custom indices. In managing the Six Circles Funds, JPMPI expects to take into account the
16
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by JPMPI or its affiliates, for whose use
the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is
managed without regard to such broader investment programs. The Six Circles Funds are not designed to
be used as a stand-alone investments and are used by JPMPI and its affiliates in discretionary accounts
as completion funds to align with JPMPI's core portfolio views. Any sub-advisers selected by JPMPI are
reviewed by the investment due diligence team and operational due diligence team and reviewed and
approved by the Board of Trustees.
Access Multi-Strategy Funds
JPMPI provides investment advisory services for the Access Multi-Strategy Funds subject to review and
oversight by the independent Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds. The Access Multi-Strategy Funds
are currently in liquidation pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation approved by each Fund’s Board. Prior to
liquidation, the Access Multi-Strategy Funds allocated assets primarily among underlying hedge funds that
are managed by unaffiliated portfolio managers who invest in a variety of markets and employ, as a group,
a range of investment techniques and strategies. Such underlying hedge funds would generally pursue
“absolute return” in that they seek to achieve positive returns by, for example, taking long and short positions
and by engaging in various hedging strategies, regardless of the performance of the traditional equity and
fixed income markets. The Access Multi-Strategy Funds may also invest in open-end and closed-end
investment companies (which may or may not be registered under the 1940 Act) and ETFs. Additionally,
from time to time, the Access Multi-Strategy Funds may have used other derivative instruments, such as
total return swaps, structured notes or other structured products, to gain exposure to the returns of the
underlying hedge funds or otherwise seek to replicate exposure to such funds or strategies.
JPMPI determines the asset allocation for the Access Multi-Strategy Funds among underlying hedge funds
and other investments. Funds available for investment are reviewed by the investment due diligence team
and operational due diligence team. JPMPI selects what it believes to be the optimal combination of an
array of funds and financial instruments.
Research Process of Underlying Funds/Sub-Adviser/Separately Managed Account (“SMA”)
Strategies
All funds, sub-adviser, and/or SMA strategies selected by JPMPI or its affiliates for investment by Funds
are subject to the following due diligence process. The investment due diligence team searches for,
monitors and reevaluates traditional and alternative asset managers through extensive due diligence
processes. The investment due diligence team will begin the search process by defining an applicable
universe of investment strategies. The investment due diligence team utilizes both quantitative and
qualitative assessments during its initial review process.
Once a strategy has been selected during the initial review process, the operational due diligence team will
be consulted to conduct its initial review. The operational due diligence team is responsible for the review
of the fund, sub-advisor, and/or SMA strategy’s infrastructure from a non-investment perspective. This
review includes the organizational structure, trade life-cycle, legal/compliance oversight, information
security and systems infrastructure.
17
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
The investment due diligence team in conjunction with the operational due diligence team then makes a
formal presentation recommending particular funds, sub-adviser, and/or SMA strategies to an internal
governance committee, which is responsible for approving or rejecting them (see “Initial Strategy Review
and Approval” below). The investment due diligence team and operational due diligence team are also
responsible for monitoring and re-evaluating approved funds, sub-adviser and/or SMA strategies, as
applicable, as part of its ongoing review process (refer to “Ongoing Review of Approved Funds/Sub-
Advisers/SMA Strategies” below).
Initial Strategy Review and Approval of Underlying Funds/Sub-Adviser/SMA Strategies
The internal governance committee considers the formal presentation from the investment due diligence
team and operational due diligence team and approves or rejects new funds, sub-adviser, and/or SMA
strategies, as applicable, to be made available for use by JPMPI or its affiliates. The internal governance
committee review and approval process is generally the same for JPMIM and non–J.P. Morgan managed
funds, sub-adviser and/or SMA strategies. Please see below under “Review of Funds” for more information
about JPMPI funds.
Ongoing Review of Approved Underlying Funds/Sub-Adviser/SMA Strategies
An internal governance committee is responsible for making decisions to maintain new funds, sub-adviser
and/or SMA strategies, as applicable, as approved and available for investment. This committee considers
analysis and recommendations from the investment due diligence team and operational due diligence team.
From time to time, this internal governance committee may place them on probation, or terminate them as
part of its ongoing monitoring and oversight responsibilities. If a fund, sub-adviser and/or SMA strategy that
is in the Funds is placed on probation, during the probation period, the investment due diligence team and
operational due diligence team will continue to review them. The internal governance committee review
process is generally the same for J.P. Morgan and non–J.P. Morgan managed funds, sub-adviser and/or
SMA strategies.
Portfolio Construction of Funds
From the pool of approved funds and/or sub-adviser strategies, JPMPI selects the combination of funds,
sub-adviser, and/or SMA strategies, as applicable, that, in its view, fit each investment strategy’s asset
allocation goals and investment objectives. In making portfolio construction decisions, JPMPI will consider
and is permitted to prefer J.P. Morgan affiliated funds (including other JPMPI managed funds), as
applicable.
The ISS Fund offers investors access to diversified portfolios comprised of a combination of equity, fixed
income or alternative investments. Investors may use an investment in the ISS Fund as part of a strategy
to construct a portfolio of investments reflecting such investor’s objectives and risk tolerances.
If a fund, sub-adviser and/or SMA strategy that is in the Funds is placed on probation, it will generally
continue to be held in the Fund, but generally JPMPI may not direct new or additional purchases of such
fund, sub-adviser and/or SMA strategy for the Funds until it is removed from probation. Generally, a hedge
fund, mutual fund, ETF, SMA and/or sub-adviser strategy that is terminated will be sold. If JPMPI removes
18
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
a hedge fund, mutual fund, ETF, SMA and/or sub-adviser strategy, the assets held in that vehicle will be
sold and replaced, when appropriate, with another hedge fund, mutual fund, ETF, SMA and/or sub-adviser
strategy, respectively, that is available for use in the Funds (other than for the ISS Fund where the
investment adviser can opt not to offer a replacement strategy). Although JPMPI does not otherwise make
allocation decisions for the ISS Fund, investors therein will be compulsorily redeemed from any terminated
strategies and any redemption proceeds will be held in a cash portfolio until each investor re-allocates its
investment to another strategy.
Review of Funds
Funds for which JPMPI makes investment decisions are subject to a separate though similar review process
incorporating similar quantitative and qualitative assessments, as described above in “Research Process
of Underlying Funds/Sub-Adviser/SMA Strategies”, but implemented by a different internal governance
committee, which provides ongoing oversight to review compliance with strategy-specific guidelines and
metrics. However, the JPMPI funds review process does not include a search process to identify a universe
and core peer set of strategies from which to select. From time to time, this governance committee may
place the Funds on probation or terminate them as part of its ongoing monitoring and oversight
responsibilities. This committee considers analysis and recommendations from an internal due diligence
team separate from the manager solutions team.
ISS Fund
The ISS Fund is not subject to review by the same internal governance committees as described above.
The ISS Fund is used as part of an investor’s strategy to construct a portfolio of investments reflecting such
investor’s objectives and risk tolerances. The ISS Fund will be reviewed at its quarterly board meeting and
oversight of the ISS Fund will be provided by the ISSOC.
B.
Material, Significant, or Unusual Risks Relating to Investment Strategies
Please refer to a Private Fund’s offering memorandum, a RIC’s prospectus or private placement
memorandum or other relevant disclosure documents for other strategies for a detailed discussion of risks.
Each strategy is subject to material risks. A Fund may not achieve its objective if JPMPI’s expectations
regarding particular strategies, securities or markets are not met. Any investment includes the risk of loss,
and there can be no guarantee that a particular level of return will be achieved. Prospective investors should
carefully read the relevant disclosure documents and consult with their own counsel and advisers as to all
matters concerning an investment in a Fund.
Set forth below are some of the material risk factors that are often associated with the investment strategies
and types of investments relevant to the Funds. This is a summary only. The information included in this
Brochure does not include every potential risk associated with each investment strategy or applicable to a
particular Fund. It is impossible to identify all the risks associated with investing and the particular risks
applicable to a Fund will depend on the nature of the Fund, its investment strategy, and the types of
securities held. While JPMPI seeks to manage the Funds so that risks are appropriate to the strategy, it is
often impossible or not desirable to fully mitigate risks. Any investment includes the risk of loss, and there
can be no guarantee that a particular level of return will be achieved. Investors should understand that they
19
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
could lose some or all of their investment and should be prepared to bear the risk of such potential losses.
Investors should not rely solely on the descriptions provided below. Investors should carefully read all
applicable informational materials and governing documents prior to investing in a Fund. Investors are
urged to ask questions regarding risk factors applicable to a particular strategy or investment product, read
all product specific risk disclosures, and determine whether a particular strategy is suitable for their account
in light of their specific circumstances, investment objectives and financial situation.
An investment in a Private Fund involves a high degree of risk. There can be no assurance that a Private
Fund’s return objectives will be realized or that there will be any return of capital. An investor may lose part
or all of its capital. Please refer to a Private Fund’s offering memorandum for a detailed discussion of risks.
I.
General Risks – Private Funds
Co-Investments and Secondary Direct Investments
Certain Private Equity Funds can be offered the opportunity to co-invest with underlying funds in certain of
their portfolio investments as a co-investment or a secondary direct investment. When a Private Equity
Fund participates in such investments through its interest in an underlying fund, the Private Equity Fund
will have a more concentrated position in such investments and the negative performance of such
investments can have a significant adverse impact on the overall performance of the Private Equity Fund.
To the extent an opportunity to make a co-investment or a secondary direct investment is made available
to the Private Equity Fund, JPMPI will evaluate such opportunity based solely on the information provided
and the due diligence performed by the sponsor of the underlying fund. Such materials, information and
due diligence, and the time afforded to JPMPI to evaluate potential co-investments and secondary direct
investment are expected to be limited.
JPMPI may offer client accounts or certain J.P. Morgan affiliated funds co-investment opportunities sourced
by an asset manager in which JPMC holds a strategic investment or economic interest. JPMC’s relationship
with the asset manager may influence JPMPI in selecting, managing or disposing of such co-investments.
JPMC will receive fees or other compensation with respect to both JPMPI’s client accounts or certain J.P.
Morgan affiliated funds, and the clients of the asset manager, which participate in such co-investments.
Any management fees or other compensation, including carried interest, received by JPMC in connection
with the asset manager’s investments or other activities will not be shared with JPMPI’s client accounts or
certain J.P. Morgan affiliated funds.
Secondary Investments Purchased from Existing Investors
When a private equity fund purchases interests in underlying funds from existing investors in such
underlying funds, such secondary investment purchases present additional risks, such as the possibility
that the interest acquired may be subject to contingent liabilities resulting from activity that transpired prior
to the purchase (e.g., an indemnification obligation in respect of an act or omission occurring prior to the
date of the purchase). If a private equity fund acquires interests in underlying funds on the secondary
market, it will not have the opportunity to negotiate with the underlying funds the terms of such investment
20
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
or other special rights or privileges, and the fund may acquire an interest in an underlying fund that contains
terms that are disadvantageous to the fund for legal tax, regulatory or other reasons.
No Right to Control; Co-Investments
Often, co-investments are structured as investments in special purpose vehicles established and controlled
by the manager of the underlying fund, which in turn invests in the underlying transaction. Accordingly, the
fund’s investment in any co-investment will be largely controlled by the manager of the underlying fund. Co-
investment opportunities are sometimes in high demand and over-subscribed. As a result, underlying funds
are generally reluctant or unwilling to negotiate the terms of co-investments.
General Risk Factors – Underlying Funds, Co-Investments, Secondary Direct Investments
An investment in certain Private Equity Funds, and in turn the fund’s investment in the underlying funds
(whether directly or pursuant to secondary investments) and co-investment and secondary direct
investments in portfolio companies, involves a high degree of risk as a result of both (i) the types of
investments expected to be made by the underlying funds in which the relevant private equity fund will
invest or portfolio companies in which the private equity fund may make a co-investment or a secondary
direct investment and (ii) the structure of the private equity fund, the underlying funds and such portfolio
companies. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that (i) the investment objective of the fund will be
achieved, (ii) any underlying fund or portfolio company will achieve its investment objectives, or (iii) that the
private equity fund or underlying fund or portfolio company will return any investor capital. The rate of return,
if any, realized by an investor in such private equity fund in respect of an underlying fund will be less than
the rate of return, if any, realized by a direct investor in such underlying fund.
Multiple Levels of Fee and Expense
In addition to the management fees, incentive or performance compensation, organizational and ongoing
costs and expenses of the underlying funds, limited partners of a private fund of fund will bear fund-level
incentive fees, management fees, organizational and offering costs, and operating expenses. As a result,
investors in a private fund of fund will bear higher fees and expenses than they would if they invested
directly in the underlying funds and, accordingly, the rate of return on an investment in the private fund of
fund can be lower than the rate of return on an investment directly in the underlying funds.
Lack of Control by Investors
Investors generally will not have the ability to select, veto or cause the sale or other disposition of any
investments by the Funds or to determine the timing of any takedown, distribution or liquidation of the
underlying funds in which a Fund invests directly or indirectly.
Illiquidity; Restrictions on Transfer and Withdrawal; Default
An investment in a Private Fund will be an illiquid investment that requires a long-term commitment.
Interests may not be transferred or pledged without prior written consent, which may be withheld. The
transferability of interests in a Private Fund may also be subject to other restrictions on transfer (including
21
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
that transfers, if allowed with prior written consent, will generally only be permitted to other eligible clients
of J.P. Morgan. There will be no market for the interests. Investors may not be able to withdraw capital. A
default by an investor in making a required capital contribution may result in forfeiture of all or a substantial
part of the investor’s investment, as well as other remedies. The investments to be made by a Private Fund
also are likely to be illiquid and, if successful, may not produce a realized return for a number of years.
Investors should not subscribe unless they are prepared to bear the risks of owning the investment for an
extended period of time and can readily bear the consequences of partial or total loss of capital.
Portfolio Valuation
Valuations of a Fund’s portfolio, which will affect the amount of the management and performance fee, may
involve uncertainties and judgment determinations. Third-party pricing information regarding certain of the
Fund’s securities and other assets is sometimes unavailable. A disruption in the secondary markets for the
Fund’s investments may limit the ability of the manager to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes
of valuing the Fund’s investments and calculating the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund.
No Participation by Investors in Management
Investors will have no right or power to participate in the management or control of the business of the
Private Fund and thus must depend solely upon the ability of the administrator, the board of directors and
the Private Fund manager with respect to the management and control of the Private Fund. In addition,
investors will not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific investments made by the Private Fund or the
terms of any such investments and thus must depend solely upon the ability of the parties managing the
Private Fund. As a result, the returns of an investment in the Private Fund will primarily depend on the
performance of the manager of the Private Fund and could be substantially adversely affected by
unfavorable performance of such manager.
Segregated Portfolio Risks
Certain Funds are organized as segregated portfolio companies. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, the
assets of one segregated portfolio of a segregated portfolio company will not be available to meet the
liabilities of another segregated portfolio of that same entity. Although not judicially tested, the principal
advantage of a segregated portfolio company is that, although it is still a single entity, it protects the assets
of one segregated portfolio in the company from the liabilities of other segregated portfolios under the law
of the Cayman Islands. However, a Fund may operate or have assets held on its behalf or be subject to
claims in other jurisdictions which may not necessarily recognize such segregation. There is no guarantee
that the courts of any jurisdiction will respect the limitations on liability associated with segregated portfolio
companies and that such courts will not use the assets held by one segregated portfolio to satisfy the
liabilities of another segregated portfolio.
Delayed Schedule K-1s
A Private Fund may not be able to provide Schedule K-1s (or their equivalents) to investors who are subject
to U.S. taxes for any given fiscal year until after April 15 of the following year. Investors subject to U.S.
22
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
taxes may be required to obtain extensions of the filing date for their federal, state, and local income tax
returns.
Conflicts of Interest
The universe of potential investments and other activities of a Private Fund’s business could overlap with
the investments and activities of other Private Funds and is likely to create conflicts of interest. A Private
Fund’s offering memorandum discusses certain of these conflicts in more detail, for example, those
associated with the allocation of investment opportunities among the Private Funds or other activities and
interests of management that may restrict or compete with a Private Fund.
Risks of Corporate Finance and Venture Capital Investments
Investments made in connection with acquisition transactions are subject to a variety of special risks,
including the risk that the acquiring company has paid too much for the acquired business, the risk of
unforeseen liabilities, the risks associated with new or unproven management or new business strategies,
the risk that the acquired business will not be successfully integrated with existing businesses or produce
the expected synergies and the risk of the inability to execute on an exit strategy.
• Venture companies may be in an early stage of development, may not have a proven operating
history, may have products that are not yet developed or ready to be marketed, or may not have
an established market.
• Companies may face significant fluctuations in operating results, may need to engage in
acquisitions or divestitures of assets to compete successfully or survive financially, may be
operating at a loss, may be engaged in a rapidly changing business with products subject to a
substantial risk of obsolescence, may require substantial additional capital to support their
operations, to finance expansion or to maintain their competitive position, or otherwise may have a
weak financial condition.
• Companies may be highly leveraged and, as a consequence, subject to restrictive financial and
operating covenants. The leverage may impair the ability of these companies to finance their future
operations and capital needs. As a result, these companies may lack the flexibility to respond to
changing business and economic conditions, or to take advantage of business opportunities.
Companies may face intense competition, including competition from companies with far greater financial
resources, more extensive development, manufacturing, marketing and other capabilities, and a larger
number of qualified managerial and technical personnel.
Availability of Investment and Disposition Opportunities for Private Equity Investments
The market for corporate finance, venture capital, and growth investments is limited and competitive.
Identifying attractive investment opportunities and, in the case of Fund investments, the right investment
managers, is difficult and involves a high degree of uncertainty. Moreover, certain Fund investments are
from time to time oversubscribed, and it may not be possible to make investments that have been identified
as attractive opportunities. J.P. Morgan may also make Fund investments in anticipation of obtaining access
to one or more potential Co-Investment, but there is no guarantee that those potential Co-Investments will
23
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
come to fruition nor be made available to all clients. There can be no assurance that a fund or client account
managed by the Adviser will be able to invest fully its committed capital or that its investments will be
profitable or that there will be any return of capital. Fund investments may in turn, face difficulties in
identifying, investing in, financing and disposing of attractive private equity opportunities, and the Adviser's
funds and accounts will be dependent on the ability of the investment managers of these Fund investments,
who are typically not related to or controlled by JPMC, to locate, evaluate, select, manage, and dispose of
these opportunities.
II.
General Risks – All Funds
A Fund’s investments generally involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in
substantial losses.
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 any one strategy may under perform in comparison to
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, U.S.
government debt ceiling negotiations, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain
disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related
geopolitical events. The U.S. and other governments may renegotiate their global trade relationships and
impose or threaten to impose significant import tariffs. The implementation of tariffs, trade restrictions,
currency controls, or similar measures (including retaliatory actions) could result in price volatility and
overall declines in U.S. and global investment markets. In addition, the value of a strategy'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
or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
The effects of a global event to public health and business and market conditions, may have a significant
negative impact on the performance of the separately managed accounts and J.P. Morgan affiliated Fund
investments, increase separately managed account and fund volatility, exacerbate preexisting political,
social, and economic risks to separately managed accounts and J.P. Morgan affiliated funds, 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 a global
events that affect the instruments in which a separately managed account or J.P. Morgan affiliated fund
invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on such
account or fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any global event and the extent to which
the associated conditions and governmental responses impact a separately managed account or
JPMorgan affiliated fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to
accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
24
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
Valuation Risk
The net asset value of a portfolio as of a particular date may be materially greater than or less than its net
asset value that would be determined if a portfolio’s investments were to be liquidated as of such date. For
example, if a portfolio was required to sell a certain asset or all or a substantial portion of its assets on a
particular date, the actual price that a portfolio would realize upon the disposition of such asset or assets
could be materially less than the value of such asset or assets as reflected in the net asset value of a
portfolio. Volatile market conditions could also cause reduced liquidity in the market for certain assets,
which could result in liquidation values that are materially less than the values of such assets as reflected
in the net asset value of a portfolio.
Volatility Risk
Various sectors of the global financial markets have been experiencing an extended period of adverse
conditions following serious disruptions in the U.S. residential mortgage market. These conditions have
resulted in reduced liquidity, greater volatility, general widening of credit spreads and a lack of price
transparency in some markets.
Certain strategies and funds concentrate their investments in a region, small group of countries, an industry
or economic sector, and as a result, the value of the portfolio will generally be subject to greater volatility
than a more geographically or sector diversified portfolio. Investments in issuers within a country, state,
geographic region, industry or economic sector that experiences adverse economic, business, political
conditions or other concerns will impact the value of such a portfolio more than if the portfolio’s investments
were not so concentrated. A change in the value of a single investment within the portfolio may affect the
overall value of the portfolio and cause greater losses than it would in a portfolio that holds more diversified
investments.
Key Personnel Risk
If one or more key individuals become unavailable to JPMPI, including a Fund’s portfolio manager, who is
important to the management of the Fund’s assets, the Fund could suffer material adverse effects, including
substantial share redemptions that could require the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when markets
are not favorable.
Foreign Investments
Funds may invest in foreign countries, some of which may prove to be unstable. With any investment in a
foreign country, there exists risks relating to: adverse political developments, including nationalization,
confiscation without fair compensation or war; fluctuation in currency exchange rates that will generally
affect the value of investments in foreign securities or other assets; restrictions imposed to prevent capital
flight that could make it difficult or impossible to exchange or repatriate foreign currency; the laws and
regulations of foreign countries, which can impose restrictions that would not exist in the U.S. and may
require financing and structuring alternatives that differ significantly from those customarily used in the U.S.;
the imposition by foreign countries of taxes on a Fund and/or its partners; admission to or withdrawal from
political and economic unions by foreign countries, which could have a destabilizing effect on world
25
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
economies; higher transactions costs; delayed settlement; expropriation and nationalization risk; liquidity
risks; less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets; and emerging
market investments, which involve certain risks not typically associated with investing in developing
countries. Certain of the investments of a Fund may be in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Accordingly,
adverse exchange rate fluctuations will generally cause the value of the investments of a Fund to diminish.
Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.
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.” These countries
have relatively unstable governments and less-established market economies than developed countries.
Emerging markets can face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. These risks
make emerging market securities more volatile and less liquid than securities issued in more developed
countries.
Regulatory Risk
Pending and ongoing regulatory reform may have a significant impact on JPMPI’s investment advisory
business.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank"), as amended,
added Section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "BHCA") and its implementing regulations
(together the "Volcker Rule") under which a "banking entity" (including JPMPI and its affiliates) is restricted
from acquiring or retaining as principal, any equity, partnership or other ownership interest in, or sponsoring,
a “covered fund” (which is defined to include certain pooled investment vehicles) unless the investment or
activity is conducted in accordance with an exclusion or exemption. The Volcker Rule’s asset management
exemption permits a banking entity, such as JPMPI, to invest in or sponsor a covered fund, subject to
satisfaction of certain requirements, which include, among other things, that a banking entity only hold a de
minimis interest (no more than 3% of the total value of the outstanding ownership interests) in the covered
fund following an initial seeding period of one year and that only directors and employees directly engaged
in providing investment advisory or other qualifying services to the covered fund are permitted to invest. In
addition, the Volcker Rule generally prohibits a banking entity from engaging in transactions that would
cause it or its affiliates to have credit exposure to a covered fund managed or advised by the banking entity
or its affiliates; that would involve or result in a material conflict of interest between the banking entity and
its clients, customers or counterparties; or that would result, directly or indirectly, in a material exposure by
the banking entity to high-risk assets or high-risk trading strategies. These restrictions could materially
adversely affect accounts that are, or are invested in, covered funds, because the restrictions could limit a
covered fund from obtaining seed capital, loans or other commercial benefits from JPMPI or its affiliates.
As a result, the Volcker Rule impacts the method by which JPMPI seeds, invests in and operates its Funds,
including Private Equity Funds and Hedge Funds.
In June 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”),
and the SEC adopted a final rule revising the Volcker Rule’s provisions relating to covered funds, including
modifying existing, and adopting new exclusions from the definition of “covered fund.” The final rule came
26
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
into effect on October 1, 2020. The ultimate impact of these revisions to the Volcker Rule, including whether
JPMPI may seek to rely on these new exclusions with respect to existing funds or new funds depends, on
among other things, the investment strategy of the funds and development of market practice and
standards. JPMPI may seek to restructure its Funds to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations,
including, without limitation, the Volcker Rule. Any restructuring would be designed to enable the Funds to
carry out their investment objectives and otherwise accommodate the interests of investors in those Funds
as a whole, while complying with the Volcker Rule.
While the vast majority of U.S. and non-U.S. regulations of derivatives and similar instruments arising from
the 2008 financial crisis have been implemented, governments continue to assess and are likely to adjust
such regulations and require changes in market practices. These developments may increase the cost of
derivatives trading (whether through increased margin requirements, less favorable pricing, or other
means), the eligibility of JPMPI and J.P. Morgan affiliated funds and client accounts to transact in such
products, and the market availability of such products. As a result, JPMPI’s management of Funds and
accounts that use and trade swaps and derivatives may be adversely impacted.
Similarly, JPMPI’s management of Funds and accounts that use and trade swaps and derivatives may be
adversely impacted by adopted changes to CFTC and other regulations. Other jurisdictions outside the
United States in which JPMPI operates may also adopt and implement regulations that could have a similar
impact on JPMPI and the broader markets.
Under the BHCA , if a Fund were deemed to be controlled by JPMPI or an affiliate, investments by such
Fund would be subject to limitations under the BHCA that are substantially similar to those applicable to
JPMC. Such limitations would place certain restrictions on the Fund’s investments in non-financial
companies. These restrictions would include limits on the ability of the Fund to be involved in the day-to-
day management of the underlying non-financial company and limitations on the period of time that the
Fund could retain its investment in such company. In addition, the Fund, together with interests held by
JPMC, may be limited from owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, interests in third parties that exceed
5% of any class of voting securities or 25% of total equity. These limitations may have a material adverse
effect on the activities of the relevant Fund.
Foreign regulators have passed, and it is expected that they will continue to pass, legislation and changes
that may affect certain clients. JPMPI may take certain actions to limit its authority in respect of client
accounts to reduce the impact of regulatory restrictions on JPMPI or its clients.
In addition, there have been legislative, tax and regulatory changes and proposed changes that may apply
to the activities of JPMPI that may require legal tax and regulatory changes, including requirements to
provide additional information pertaining to a client account to the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing
authorities. Regulatory changes and restrictions imposed by regulators, self-regulatory organizations
("SROs") and exchanges vary from country to country and may affect the value of client investments and
their ability to pursue their investment strategies. Any such rules, regulations and other changes, and any
uncertainty in respect of their implementation, may result in increased costs, reduced profit margins and
reduced investment and trading opportunities, all of which would negatively impact performance.

Banking System Instability
Uncertainty in the banking and financial system can result in significant and widespread deterioration in
market and economic conditions by disrupting access to capital and other financial services, which could
adversely affect the performance of a Fund and the underlying funds.
Risks Associated with the Use of Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Tools.
J.P. Morgan relies on programs and systems that utilize AI, machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and
other data science technologies ("AI Tools"). AI Tools are highly complex, and may be flawed, hallucinate,
reflect biases included in the data on which such tools are trained, be of poor quality, lack transparency,
infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or be otherwise harmful. J.P. Morgan typically
incorporates human oversight including through the standards and policies that define the governance
framework, to reduce the risk of acting on potentially defective outputs. AI Tools present Data Sources Risk,
Cybersecurity Risk, and Model Risk (as described below). The U.S. and global legal and regulatory
environment relating to the use of AI Tools is uncertain and rapidly evolving, and could require changes in
the J.P. Morgan implementation of AI Tools and increase compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance.
Further, J.P. Morgan uses on AI Tools developed by third parties, and J.P. Morgan may have limited visibility
over the accuracy and completeness of such AI Tools.
Data Sources Risk
Although J.P. Morgan obtains data, including alternative data, and information from third party sources that
it considers to be reliable, J.P. Morgan does not warrant or guarantee the availability, accuracy, timeliness
and/or completeness of any data or information provided by these sources. J.P. Morgan has controls for
certain data that, among other things, consider the representations of such third parties with regard to the
provision of the data in compliance with applicable laws. J.P. Morgan does not make any express or implied
warranties of any kind with respect to such third-party data. J.P. Morgan shall not have any liability for any
errors or omissions in connection with any data obtained from third party sources.
J.P. Morgan often uses data feeds from a number of sources. If such data feeds or formats become
corrupted, compromised, or discontinued in any material manner, or become undeliverable or inaccessible
in a timely manner, the tool utilizing the data will be unable to properly function or their operation may be
adversely impacted. The tools’ ability to use the data may also be adversely impacted by any change in the
format of data delivered or acquired by such tools. The timeliness and quality of a third party’s data may be
compromised for a variety of reasons, some of which are outside of the control of J.P. Morgan and the third-
party data provider. A tool’s ability to process data may also be adversely affected if J.P. Morgan
experiences any disruptions to its computing resources or network connections, including disruption of
cloud-based computing resources.
Cybersecurity Risk
As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, J.P. Morgan has become
more susceptible to operational and financial risks associated with cybersecurity, including: theft, loss,
misuse, fraud, improper release, corruption and destruction of, or unauthorized access to, confidential,
personal, or highly restricted data relating to J.P. Morgan and its clients, and compromises or failures to
28
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
systems, networks, devices and applications, including but not limited to AI Tools and cloud-based
computing resources relating to the operations of J.P. Morgan and its service providers. Cybersecurity risks
can result in financial losses to J.P. Morgan and its clients; the inability of J.P. Morgan to transact business
with its clients; delays or mistakes in materials provided to clients; the inability to process transactions with
clients or other parties; violations of privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties and reputational
damage; and compliance and remediation costs, legal fees and other expenses. J.P. Morgan’s service
providers (including any sub-advisers, administrator, transfer agent, and custodian or their agents), financial
intermediaries, the companies in which client accounts and funds invest and parties with which J.P. Morgan
engages in portfolio or other transactions also may be adversely impacted by cybersecurity risks in their
own businesses, which could result in losses to J.P. Morgan or its clients. While measures have been
developed that are designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity, there is no guarantee that
those measures will be effective, particularly since J.P. Morgan does not directly control the cybersecurity
defenses or plans of its service providers, financial intermediaries and companies in which they invest or
with which they do business. Use of AI Tools may lead to increased risks of cyber-attacks or data breaches
and the ability to launch more automated, targeted, and coordinated attacks, due to the vulnerability of AI
technology to cybersecurity threats.
Intellectual Property and Technology Risks Involved in International Operations
There can be risks to technology and intellectual property that can result from conducting business outside
the United States. This is particularly true in jurisdictions that do not have comparable levels of protection
of corporate proprietary information and assets such as intellectual property, trademarks, trade secrets,
know-how and customer information and records. As a result, JPMPI and its Funds can be more
susceptible to potential theft or compromise of data, technology and intellectual property from a myriad of
sources, including direct cyber intrusions or more indirect routes such as companies being required to
compromise protections or yield rights to technology, data or intellectual property in order to conduct
business in a foreign jurisdiction.
Changing Market and Economic Conditions
Changing market and economic conditions and other factors, such as changes in U.S. federal or state tax
laws, securities or bankruptcy laws or accounting standards, can make the Fund less profitable or
unprofitable.
Competition Risk
There is currently, and will likely continue to be, competition for investment opportunities by investment
vehicles and others with investment objectives and strategies identical or similar to a Private Fund’s
investment objectives and strategies as well as by strategic investors, hedge funds and others. Over the
past several years, many private funds have been formed and many such existing funds have grown
substantially in size, resulting in an unprecedented amount of capital available for private investment.
29
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
Diversification Risk
A Fund may make only a limited number of investments and, as a consequence, the aggregate return on
investments may be substantially adversely affected by the unfavorable performance of one or a small
number of the investments. Additionally, Single-Purpose SPVs are generally expected to hold a single
investment in a third party operated portfolio company. Each Single-Purpose SPVs will have no material
source of income or investment return other than its interest in the respective portfolio company, which
exposes each Single-Purpose SPVs to greater economic risks than if it invested in more than one portfolio
company.
III.
Risks that Apply Primarily to Equity Investments
Equity Securities Risk
Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) may be more volatile and carry more risks than some
other forms of investment. 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 will generally result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected
for a 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 an account or a Fund invests) may decline over short or
extended periods of time. When the value of such securities goes down, the account or investment in that
Fund decreases in value.
Growth Investing Risk
Growth investing attempts to identify companies that the portfolio manager believes will experience rapid
earnings growth relative to value or other types of stocks. The value of these stocks generally is much
more sensitive to current or expected earnings than stocks of other types of companies. Short-term events,
such as a failure to meet industry earnings expectations, can cause dramatic decreases in the growth
stock price compared to other types of stock. Growth stocks generally trade at higher multiples of current
earnings compared to value or other stocks, leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines
in value.
Value Investing Risk
Value investing attempts to identify companies that, according to the portfolio manager’s estimate of their
true worth, are undervalued, or attractively valued. The portfolio manager selects stocks at prices that it
believes are temporarily low relative to factors such as the company’s earnings, cash flow or dividends. A
value stock may decrease in price or not increase in price as anticipated by the portfolio manager if other
investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause
the stock price to increase do not occur.
30
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
Smaller Companies Risk
Certain funds invest in securities of smaller companies. Investments in smaller companies are generally
riskier than investments in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies tend to be less liquid than
securities of larger companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in
smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. In addition, small companies are generally more
vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, the changes in value of their securities
may be more sudden or erratic than in large capitalization companies, especially over the short term.
Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend
on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive
factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the
value of a fund’s investments. Finally, emerging companies in certain sectors may not be profitable and
may not realize earning profits in the foreseeable future.
IV.
Risks that Primarily Apply to Fixed Income Investments
Interest Rate Risk
“Interest rate risk” refers to the risk associated with market changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes
may affect the value of a debt instrument indirectly (especially in the case of fixed rate securities) and
directly (especially in the case of instruments whose rates are adjustable). Fixed rate securities increase or
decrease in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments
generally declines. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of these investments generally increases.
Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater
fluctuations in value. Variable and floating rate (i.e., adjustable) securities are generally less sensitive to
interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, but the value of variable and floating rate securities may
decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. Many factors can
cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include governmental and tax policies, central bank monetary
policy (such as an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve), domestic and international economic and
political considerations, fiscal deficits, trade surpluses or deficits, regulatory requirements, rising inflation
rates, general economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of JPMPI. It is difficult to accurately
predict the pace at which interest rates will change, or the timing, frequency or magnitude of any such
changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and
reduced liquidity for securities.
Interest rate sensitivity is generally more pronounced and less predictable in instruments with uncertain
payment or prepayment schedules. This risk will be greater for long-term securities than for short-term
securities. While for certain accounts JPMPI may from time to time seek to hedge interest rate risks
(including through investments in treasury securities or derivative instruments), there is no assurance that
such measures, to the extent implemented, will be effective.
Credit Risk
There is a risk that issuers and/or counterparties will not make payments on securities and instruments
when due or will default completely. Such default could result in losses. In addition, the credit quality of
31
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
securities and instruments may be lowered if an issuer’s or a counterparty’s financial condition changes.
Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security or instrument, affect liquidity and
make it difficult to sell the security or instrument. Certain strategies may invest in securities or instruments
that are rated in the lowest investment grade category. Such securities or instruments are also considered
to have speculative characteristics similar to high yield securities, and issuers or counterparties of such
securities or instruments are more vulnerable to changes in economic conditions than issuers or
counterparties of higher grade securities or instruments. Prices of fixed income securities will be adversely
affected and credit spreads will increase if any of the issuers of or counterparties to such investments are
subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spread risk is the risk that
economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration of an issuer 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.
Credit Spread Risk
Credit spread risk is the risk that a change in credit spreads will adversely affect the value of an investment.
Even when a market exists, there may be a substantial credit spread, which is the difference in yield
between two fixed income instruments that have similar maturity but different credit quality. The value of
fixed income instruments generally moves in the opposite direction of credit spreads. Values decrease
when credit spreads widen and increase when credit spreads narrow.
High Yield Securities Risk
Certain strategies invest in securities and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly
leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are
considered speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and
economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity.
Call Risk
Declining interest rates may cause issuers to call their bonds in order to sell new bonds paying lower interest
rates. The bond’s principal is repaid early, but the investor is left unable to find a similar bond with as
attractive a yield.
Reinvestment Risk
Investors in callable bonds may not receive the bond’s original coupon rate for the entire term of the bond,
and they may be unable to find an equivalent investment paying rates as high as the original rate. In
addition, once the call date has been reached, the stream of a callable bond’s interest payments is uncertain
and any appreciation in the market value of the bond may not rise above the call price.
Prepayment and Extension Risk
Callable bonds and asset-backed securities (a pool of fixed-income securities backed by a package of
assets, including, but not limited to, mortgages, automobile loans and credit card receivables) are also
32
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
subject to prepayment and extension risk. A decline in interest rates and other factors may result in
unexpected prepayment of the underlying obligations, possibly causing a decline in the value of the
investment and reinvestment at lower interest rates. An increase in interest rates and other factors may
extend the life of such a security because the prepayments do not occur as expected, possibly causing a
decline in the value of the investment. Since JPMPI’s fees apply to the total market value of the assets
under management, in a low interest rate environment the net investment return on fixed income
investments could be negative.
Government Securities Risk
Some funds may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and
instrumentalities (such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal
National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie
Mac”). U.S. government securities are subject to General Market Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Credit Risk.
Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or 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. 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 principal and interest.
Securities issued by U.S. government related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and no assurance can be given that the U.S.
government will provide financial support.
Inflation/Deflation Risk
Inflation risk is the risk that the present value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future
as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of assets can decline.
Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an
adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result
in a decline in the value of assets.
There is significant concern in macroeconomic terms about the levels of indebtedness carried by certain
governments. While bringing with it a range of issues, one of the consequences of an extended period of a
higher-than-desired level of inflation, is often to erode in real terms the value of government debt. This
element of debt erosion may create an incentive for governments to be less robust in seeking to deal with
inflation than might otherwise have been the case had the government concerned not suffered from a high
level of indebtedness. Some countries, including the United States, have experienced and may in the future
experience substantial rates of inflation, which may have negative effects on the economies and securities
markets of their economies. Governmental efforts to curb inflation (such as price controls) may involve
drastic economic measures affecting the level of economic activities. The Federal Reserve interest rate
(also known as the federal funds rate) is the interest rate at which depository institutions, such as banks,
lend reserves balances to each other overnight on an uncollateralized basis. The Federal Reserve sets the
federal funds rate as part of its monetary policy to manage and stabilize inflation. When the Federal Reserve
changes the federal funds rate, such change can indirectly influence other interest rates in the U.S.
economy. There can be no assurance that the relevant governments will be able to exercise effective control
over inflation rates or that a high rate of inflation will not have a materially adverse effect.

V.
Fund Risks
Completion Fund Risk (Six Circles Funds)
An investment in the Six Circles Funds is not designed to be a complete investment program. It is intended
to be part of a broader investment program administered by JPMPI or its affiliates. The Fund is managed
to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment program and therefore changes in
value of a Six Circles Fund may be particularly pronounced and the Fund may underperform a similar fund
managed without consideration of the broader investment program.
Multi-Manager Risk (Six Circles Funds)
For the Six Circles Funds, a Fund’s performance depends on the skill of JPMPI in selecting, overseeing
and allocating Fund assets to sub-advisers. The sub-advisers’ investment styles may not always be
complementary. The sub-advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment decisions independently
of one another) and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that a sub-
adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that another sub-adviser sells the same
security, resulting in higher transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result; or that
several sub-advisers purchase the same security at the same time, without aggregating their transactions,
resulting in higher transaction costs. The Fund’s sub-advisers may underperform the market generally,
underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund and/or underperform
private investment funds with similar strategies managed by the sub-advisers. Subject to the overall
supervision of the Fund’s investment program by JPMPI, each sub-adviser is responsible, with respect to
the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages, for compliance with the Fund’s investment strategies and
applicable law.
ETFs and Index Mutual Funds
ETFs and index mutual funds are marketable securities that are interests in registered funds, and are
designed to track, before fees and expenses, the performance or returns of a relevant basket of assets,
usually an underlying index. The index may be published or calculated by affiliates of JPMPI. Unlike mutual
funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout
the day as they are bought and sold. ETFs typically have higher daily liquidity and lower fees than mutual
fund shares.
Physical replication and synthetic replication are two of the most common structures used in the
construction of ETFs and index mutual funds. Physically replicated ETFs and index mutual funds buy all
or a representative portion of the underlying securities in the index that they track. In contrast, some ETFs
and index mutual funds do not purchase the underlying assets but gain exposure to them by use of swaps
or other derivative instruments.
In addition to the general risks of investing in funds, there are specific risks to consider with respect to an
investment in ETFs, including, but not limited to:
34
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
• Variance from Benchmark Index. ETF and index mutual fund performance may differ from the
performance of the applicable index for a variety of reasons. For example, ETFs and index mutual
funds incur operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the benchmark
index, may not be fully invested in the securities of their indices at all times, or may hold securities
not included in their indices. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities
underlying ETFs and mutual funds (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance
between the performances of the funds and applicable indices.
• Passive Investing Risk. Passive investing differs from active investing in that ETF and index mutual
fund managers are not seeking to outperform their benchmark. As a result, managers may hold
securities that are components of their underlying index, regardless of the current or projected
performance of the specific security or market sector. Passive managers do not attempt to take
defensive positions based upon market conditions, including declining markets. This approach
could cause a passive vehicle’s performance to be lower than if it employed an active strategy.
• Secondary Market Risk. ETF shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices.
Although ETFs are required to calculate their NAV on a daily basis, at times the market price of an
ETF’s shares may be more than the NAV (trading at a premium) or less than the NAV (trading at
a discount). Given the differing nature of the relevant secondary markets for ETFs, certain ETFs
may trade at a larger premium or discount to NAV than shares of other ETFs depending on the
markets where such ETFs are traded. The risk of deviation from NAV for ETFs generally is
heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. For example, during
periods of market volatility, securities underlying ETFs may be unavailable in the secondary
market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the NAV per share of such
ETFs, and the liquidity of such ETFs may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may
also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares in ETFs. Further, market
volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are
willing to buy and sell shares of ETFs. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value
of shares of an ETF would vary substantially from the NAV per share of such ETF, and the client
may incur significant losses from the sale of ETF shares.
• Tracking the Index. Certain funds track financial indexes in which JPMPI or an affiliate retains
various intellectual property rights. As a result, J.P. Morgan may be entitled to receive index
licensing fees from unaffiliated licensees of these indexes. Affiliates of JPMPI may develop or own
and operate stock market and other indexes based on investment and trading strategies
developed by such affiliates. Affiliates of JPMPI may also assist unaffiliated entities in creating
indexes that are tracked by certain ETFs and index mutual funds utilized by JPMPI. Some ETFs
and index mutual funds seek to track the performance of these indexes. J.P. Morgan may, from
time to time, manage client accounts that invest in the ETFs and index mutual funds. In addition,
J.P. Morgan may manage strategies which track the same indexes used by the ETFs and index
mutual funds or which may be based on the same, or substantially similar, strategies that are used
in the operation of the indexes and the ETFs and index mutual funds. The operation of the indexes,
the ETFs and index mutual funds and client accounts in this manner may give rise to potential
conflicts of interest. For example, client accounts that track the same indexes used by the ETFs
and index mutual funds may engage in purchases and sales of securities relating to index changes
prior to the implementation of index updates or at the time as of which the ETFs and index mutual
funds engage in similar transactions because the client accounts may be managed and rebalanced
35
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
on an ongoing basis, whereas the ETFs’ and index mutual funds’ portfolios are only rebalanced
on a periodic basis corresponding with the rebalancing of an index. These differences may result
in the client accounts having more favorable performance relative to that of the index and the ETFs
and index mutual funds or other client accounts that track the index. Other potential conflicts
include the potential for unauthorized access to index information, allowing index changes that
benefit JPMPI or other client accounts and not the investors in the ETFs and index mutual funds.
J.P. Morgan has established certain information barriers and other policies to address the sharing
of information between different businesses within J.P. Morgan, including with respect to personnel
responsible for maintaining the indexes and those involved in decision-making for the ETFs and
index mutual funds.
Geographic and Sector Focus Risk
Certain strategies and funds concentrate their investments in a region, small group of countries, an industry
or economic sector, and as a result, the value of the portfolio will generally be subject to greater volatility
than a more geographically or sector diversified portfolio. Investments in issuers within a country, state,
geographic region, industry or economic sector that experiences adverse economic, business, political
conditions or other concerns will impact the value of such a portfolio more than if the portfolio’s investments
were not so concentrated. A change in the value of a single investment within the portfolio may affect the
overall value of the portfolio and may cause greater losses than it would in a portfolio that holds more
diversified investments.
Thematic Investing Risk
Thematic investing strategies may perform differently compared to funds or accounts that do not have such
strategies. A fund or account’s performance may suffer if such securities are not correctly identified or if the
theme develops in an unexpected manner. Performance may also suffer if the securities included in the
strategy do not benefit from the development of such themes. There is no guarantee that the fund’s
investment process will reflect the theme exposures intended.
Investment in Funds
The investment performance of the Funds that implement their strategies by investing in underlying funds
is directly related to the performance of the underlying funds. There is no assurance that the underlying
funds will achieve their investment objectives.
Hedging Policies/Risks
A Fund may employ hedging techniques designed to reduce the risks of adverse movements in interest
rates, securities prices and currency exchange rates. While such transactions may reduce certain risks,
such transactions themselves entail certain other risks.
Private Equity Fund Risks
Investments made in connection with acquisition transactions are subject to a variety of special risks,
including the risk that the acquiring company has paid too much for the acquired business, the risk of
36
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
unforeseen liabilities, the risks associated with new or unproved management or new business strategies
and the risk that the acquired business will not be successfully integrated with existing businesses or
produce the expected synergies. Private equity funds may invest in restructurings that involve portfolio
companies that are experiencing or are expected to experience severe financial difficulties, some that may
never be overcome and can cause them to become subject to bankruptcy proceedings.
A private equity fund will typically leverage its investments with debt financing at the portfolio company level.
Although the manager will seek to use leverage in a manner it believes is prudent, the use of leverage will
generally substantially increase the risk of loss. A decrease in availability of financing (or an increase in the
interest cost) for leveraged transactions would impair, potentially materially, a fund’s ability to consummate
transactions and to make similar leveraged distributions.
Real Estate Fund Risks
There are certain risks associated with the development, construction, and/or ownership of real estate and
the real estate industry in general, including: the burdens of ownership of real property; local, national and
international economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns, decreases in
government spending and changing government policies); the supply and demand for properties; the
financial condition of tenants, buyers and sellers of properties; changes in interest rates and the availability
of mortgage funds which may render the sale or refinancing of properties difficult or impracticable; changes
in environmental laws and regulations, planning laws, fiscal and monetary policies and other governmental
rules; environmental claims arising with respect to properties acquired with undisclosed or unknown
environmental problems or with respect to which inadequate reserves have been established; changes in
real property tax rates; changes in energy prices; negative developments in the economy that depress
travel activity; uninsured casualties; force majeure acts; terrorist events; under-insured or uninsurable
losses and other factors that are beyond the reasonable control of the Funds and JPMPI. In addition, real
estate assets are subject to long-term cyclical trends that contribute to significant volatility in values.
Many of these factors could cause fluctuations in occupancy rates, development costs, rent schedules or
operating expenses, causing the value of investments to decline and negatively affect an investment’s
returns. The value of investments may fluctuate significantly due to these factors among others and may
be significantly diminished in the event of a sudden downward market for real estate and real estate-related
assets. The returns available from investments depend on the amount of income (or loss) earned and
capital appreciation (or depreciation) generated by the relevant underlying properties, as well as expenses
incurred in connection therewith. If properties do not generate income sufficient to meet operating
expenses, including amounts owed under any third-party borrowings and capital expenditures, returns will
be adversely affected. In addition, the cost of complying with governmental laws and regulations and the
cost and availability of third-party borrowings may also affect the market value of and returns from real
estate and real estate related investments. Returns would be adversely affected if a significant number of
tenants were unable to pay rent or if properties could not be rented on favorable terms. Certain significant
fixed expenditures associated with purchasing properties (such as third-party borrowings, taxes and
37
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
maintenance costs) may stay the same or increase even when circumstances cause a reduction in returns
from properties.
Hedge Fund Risks
A hedge fund may invest in futures and options. Futures markets are highly volatile and are influenced by
factors such as changing supply and demand relationships, governmental programs and policies, national
and international political and economic events and changes in interest rates. In addition, because of the
low margin deposits normally required in futures trading, a high degree of leverage is typical of a futures
trading account. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract can result in substantial
losses to the hedge fund.
A hedge fund may engage in short selling. In selling short, the fund bears the risk of an increase in the
value of the instrument sold short above the price at which it was sold. Such an increase could lead to a
substantial loss. A hedge fund can incur additional costs in covering short positions.
Portfolio turnover will generally vary greatly from year to year, as well as within a particular year. High rates
of portfolio turnover can result in short-term capital gain that will generally be taxable to shareholders as
ordinary income.
Fund of Funds Structure Risk
The investment performance of funds that implement their strategies by investing in underlying funds is
directly related to the performance of the underlying funds. There is no assurance that the underlying funds
will achieve their investment objectives. One of the principal disadvantages and risks inherent in a fund of
funds structure is the restrictions imposed on the asset allocation flexibility and risk control capability of the
manager of the top-tier fund as a result of the limited liquidity of the second-tier fund in which the former
invests. The fund of fund could be unable to redeem shares or other interests in an underlying fund for
some months after the investment manager has determined that the manager operating such underlying
fund strategy has begun to deviate from its announced trading policies and strategy, or except at certain
designated times, limiting the ability of the investment manager to redeem assets from an underlying fund
that may have poor performance or for other reasons. Certain underlying funds may suspend redemptions
or withdrawals, especially during periods of market disruption, preventing the fund of fund from redeeming
or withdrawing.
In addition, JPMPI faces certain potential conflicts of interest when allocating fund assets among underlying
funds. When selecting underlying funds for funds, and funds-of-funds that it manages, JPMPI will consider
and is permitted to prefer J.P. Morgan affiliated funds (including other JPMPI managed funds). JPMPI does
not consider or canvass the universe of unaffiliated funds available, even though there may be unaffiliated
funds that may be more appropriate for the funds or that have superior historical returns.
Risks of Investing in Private Companies (Single-Purpose SPVs)
Single-Purpose SPVs will generally invest solely in the securities of a single private portfolio company.
Investments in private portfolio companies involve substantial risks, including: (i) adverse or ineffective, as
38
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
well as inconsistent, alignment of interests among management (including as a result of personal/family
rather than business issues); (ii) technological obsolescence; (iii) financial planning misjudgment; (iv)
employee or management misconduct; (v) lack of reliable financial information; and (vi) any number of
general economic conditions that are beyond the control of both management of the portfolio company and
JPMPI, such as: changing market sentiment; changes in economic conditions, competition and technology;
changes in interest rates; changing political conditions or events; and changes in tax laws and governmental
regulation. Moreover, investments in companies in the expansion or profitable stage involve substantial
risks. Such companies typically have obtained capital in the form of debt or equity to expand rapidly,
reorganize operations, acquire other businesses, or develop new products and markets. These activities
by definition involve a significant amount of change in a company and could give rise to significant problems
in sales, manufacturing and general management of these activities. There can be no assurance that a
Single-Purpose SPV will be adequately compensated for risks taken in respect of its investments in the
portfolio company. A complete loss of a Single-Purpose SPV’s investment in the portfolio company is
possible. The timing of profit realization is highly uncertain. Losses are likely to occur early in a Single-
Purpose SPV’s term, while successes often require a long maturation. Finally, investors in a Single-Purpose
SPVs are dependent upon the ability of JPMPI to structure, close, manage and successfully exit the portfolio
company investment.
Derivatives Risk
Certain strategies may use derivatives. Derivatives, including forward currency contracts, futures contracts,
options, participation notes and commodity-linked derivatives and swaps, may be riskier than other types
of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions, and
could result in losses that significantly exceed the investor’s original investment in the derivative. Many
derivatives create leverage thereby causing a portfolio to be more volatile than it would have been if it had
not been exposed to such derivatives. Derivatives also expose a portfolio 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, an investor does not have a claim on the reference
assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so an
investor may not realize the intended benefits. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives
and the resulting ability to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose a portfolio to losses.
Additionally, certain derivatives are subject to position limits imposed by regulators, and the investment
adviser will not be able to obtain additional exposure if these limits are reached.
When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with what is
being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose an investor to risks of mispricing or
improper valuation.
Hedging Risk
Hedging strategies could involve a variety of derivative transactions, including transactions in forward, swap
and option contracts or other financial instruments with similar characteristics, including, without limitation,
forward foreign currency exchange contracts, currency and interest rate swaps, options and short sales
(collectively “Hedging Instruments”). The use of Hedging Instruments could require investment techniques
and risk analyses different from those associated with other portfolio investments including securities and
39
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
currency hedging transactions. The risks posed by these transactions include, but are not limited to, interest
rate risk, market risk, the risk that these complex instruments and techniques will not be successfully
evaluated, monitored or priced, the risk that counterparties will default on their obligations, liquidity risk and
leverage risk. Changes in liquidity can result in significant, rapid and unpredictable changes in the prices
for derivatives. Thus, while the accounts might benefit from the use of Hedging Instruments, unanticipated
changes in interest rates, securities prices or currency exchange rates could result in a poorer overall
performance for the accounts than if they had not used such Hedging Instruments. Certain risks associated
with Hedging Instruments are further detailed under “Derivative Risk”.
Hedging against a decline in the value of a portfolio position does not eliminate fluctuations in the values of
portfolio positions or prevent losses if the values of those positions decline, but establishes other positions
designed to gain from those same developments, thus offsetting the decline in the portfolio positions’ value.
While these transactions can reduce the risks associated with an investment, the transactions themselves
entail risks that are different from and possibly greater than, the risks associated with other portfolio
investments.
Futures/Cleared Derivatives Transactions Risk
CFTC guidance may increase the risk exposure of and adversely impact separate accounts under customer
agreements with a futures commission merchant (“FCM”). Pursuant to this guidance, FCMs are required to
view exposure at the beneficial owner level, not the account level. Therefore, agreements between a FCM
and a beneficial owner (whether entered into directly or through an asset manager) may not prevent the
FCM from withholding margin from (or calling for margin with respect to) any of such beneficial owner’s
accounts held by such FCM and may not limit such beneficial owner’s losses. Accordingly, in the event of
a margin shortfall with respect to a JPMPI-managed account of a beneficial owner held by a FCM, the FCM
can withhold margin from (or call for margin with respect to) other accounts of the beneficial owner held by
that FCM, including other accounts managed by JPMPI, accounts managed by other investment advisers,
and accounts managed directly by the beneficial owner, which may have adverse impacts on those
accounts. Similarly, if a FCM’s margin call made in respect of an account managed directly by a beneficial
owner (or by an investment manager other than JPMPI on behalf of a beneficial owner) is not met, the FCM
may withhold margin for (or call for margin with respect to) such beneficial owner’s accounts managed by
JPMPI that are held by such FCM, which may have adverse impacts to such accounts. This regulatory
guidance may increase exposure risks and/or costs of futures and/or cleared derivatives transactions and
potentially adversely impact performance or the utility of futures and cleared derivatives trading in accounts
managed by JPMPI or by others.
Tactical Allocations
JPMPI generally has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations that increase or
decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments for certain Funds. As a result of these tactical
allocations, a Fund may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time. A Fund’s tactical
allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the Fund and/or cause
the Fund to have a risk profile different than that portrayed in the Fund’s strategic asset allocations from
time to time.

J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.

VI. Other Risks
Liquidity Risk
Investments in some equity and privately placed securities, structured notes or other instruments may be
difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the sale of these illiquid securities at an advantageous price
or when desired. A lack of liquidity can also cause the value of investments to decline, and the illiquid
investments can also be difficult to value.
With respect to property distributed in kind to a Private Fund by an underlying fund, JPMPI may, subject to
certain third party approvals, either (i) in turn allocate such property among the investors in such Private
Fund and distribute such property in kind to such investors or (ii) sell or otherwise liquidate (or appoint (and
compensate) a third party, which may be JPMPI or an affiliate of JPMPI, to sell or otherwise liquidate) the
property and distribute the net proceeds of such sale or liquidation cash to such investors. Any such sale
or liquidation may occur over an extended period of time not immediately following the distribution in kind
to the Private Fund, may be conducted gradually and will be subject to then current market conditions,
liquidity limitations and other external factors, and the amount of cash proceeds distributed to such
investors may be less than the value of the property distributed in kind to the Private Fund by the underlying
fund.
Additionally, there may be no market for a fixed income instrument, and the holder may not be able to sell
the security at the desired time or price. Even when a market exists, there may be a substantial difference
between the secondary market bid and ask prices for a fixed income instrument.
Active Trading
Certain strategies engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher
transaction costs, and the possibility of increased capital gains, including short-term capital gains that are
generally taxable as ordinary income.
Currency Risk
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of certain portfolio securities. Generally,
when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by
that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may
fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates.
Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact
on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as
regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the
volatility of a portfolio.
LIBOR Discontinuance Risk
The London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") was intended to represent the rate at which contributing
banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. After the global
41
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
financial crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed
based on a number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no
longer be representative of the underlying markets. New or alternative reference rates have since been
used in place of LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate (“SOFR,” which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measurers the cost of U.S.
dollar overnight borrowings collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate
(“SONIA,” which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measurers the overnight interest rate
paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a
result of the benchmark reforms, publications of all LIBOR settings has ceased, and JPMPI and the Funds
and accounts it manages have generally transitioned to successor or alternative reference rates as
necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most instruments has been completed,
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 which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a fund’s or other
client account’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some or all of a
fund’s or other client account’s portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference
rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR to
alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or a client account or their
investments. Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party
market participants, such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain
service providers; no assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a
fund or other client account or their investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in
connection with other IBORs (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that
are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.
Concentration Risk
Although investments by Private Funds in underlying private equity funds advised by unaffiliated investment
advisers will be limited by BHCA considerations (see “Regulatory Risk” above), their investment, when
aggregated with investments by the Administered Conduits and other private banking clients of JPMCB,
may represent a significant majority of the limited partner interests or shares of such underlying private
equity funds (such funds, “Concentrated Funds”). Accordingly, certain of the other risks described herein
could have a disproportionately negative effect on any such Concentrated Funds. For example, it is
expected that the investors in Private Funds and Administered Conduits will all be clients of JPMCB, and
accordingly, due to the resulting lack of diversification of investor types among the direct and indirect
investors in any Concentrated Fund, a particular negative economic or market condition could magnify the
default risk to the Concentrated Funds organized as private equity funds. Because JPMPI only accepts
observer rights (rather than voting representation) on any limited partner advisory committees organized
by underlying private equity funds to review conflicts of interests or related-party transactions, such private
equity funds may find it difficult to find representative members for its limited partner advisory committees,
and may be unable to execute its investment strategy as originally contemplated. Although JPMPI will take
the foregoing considerations into account when making an investment by a Private Fund into a
Concentrated Fund, it may not be possible to mitigate the foregoing risks.

Risks That Apply Primarily to ESG / Sustainable Investing Strategies
Investment approaches that incorporate ESG considerations or sustainable investing may include
additional risks. ESG or sustainable investing strategies (together, “ESG Strategies”), including SMAs,
mutual funds hedge funds and ETFs and private investment funds can limit the types and number of
investment opportunities and, as a result, could underperform other strategies that do not have an ESG or
sustainable focus. ESG Strategies can follow different approaches. For example, some ESG Strategies
select companies based on positive ESG characteristics while others may apply screens in order to exclude
particular sectors or industries from a client’s portfolio. Certain strategies focusing on a particular theme or
sector can be more concentrated in particular industries or sectors that share common characteristics and
are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens. Because investing on the basis of ESG
sustainability criteria can involve qualitative and subjective analysis, there can be no assurance that the
methodology utilized by or determinations made by, JPMPI, or an investment manager or investment
adviser selected by JPMPI, will align with the beliefs or values of the client. Additionally, other investment
managers and investment advisers, including affiliates of JPMPI can have a different approach to ESG or
sustainable investing and can offer ESG Strategies that differ from the ESG Strategies offered by JPMPI
with respect to the same theme or topic. In addition to the ESG Strategies, J.P. Morgan also offers
investment products that utilize ESG criteria in developing the product while seeking to maximize financial
return.
When evaluating investments, an investment manager or investment adviser is dependent upon information
and data that might be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could cause the manager/adviser to
incorrectly assess an investment’s ESG or sustainable attributes. In making investment decisions, JPMPI
uses data and information, including but not limited to, industry classifications, industry grouping, ratings,
scores and issuer screening provided by third party data providers, or by a JPMPI affiliated service provider.
JPMPI does not review, guarantee or validate any third-party data, ratings, screenings or processes. Such
data and information will not have been validated by JPMPI and can therefore be incomplete or erroneous.
ESG and sustainable investing are not uniformly defined concepts and scores or ratings may vary across
data providers that use similar or different screens based on their process for evaluating ESG
characteristics. Investments identified by JPMPI as demonstrating positive ESG characteristics might not
be the same investments identified by other investment managers in the market that use similar ESG
screens or methodologies. In addition, investments identified as demonstrating positive ESG characteristics
at a particular point in time might not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics across all relevant
metrics or methodologies or on an ongoing basis. ESG or sustainable investing practices differ by asset
class, country, region and industry and are constantly evolving. As a result, a company’s ESG or
sustainability-related practices and JPMPI’s assessment of such practices could change over time.
Thematic and Impact strategies tend to be more concentrated in certain sectors than other investments that
do not have the intention of generating measurable environmental and/or social impact.
JPMPI takes a global approach to ESG or sustainable investing and the solutions offered through our
sustainable investing platform meet our internally developed criteria for inclusion in the ESG Strategies
available to clients, which, where applicable, take into account ESG or sustainable investing regulations.
As part of the due diligence process, the manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates applies an
43
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
eligibility framework that establishes a sustainable investment minimum criteria for determining the universe
of strategies offered to clients. Strategies that satisfy the sustainable investing eligibility criteria also are
subject to the same due diligence and performance review process as all other strategies.
The evolving nature of sustainable finance regulations and the development of jurisdiction-specific
legislation setting out the regulatory criteria for a “sustainable investment” or “ESG” investment mean that
there is likely to be a difference in the regulatory meaning of such terms. This is already the case in the
European Union where, for example, under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU)
(2019/2088) (“SFDR”) certain criteria must be satisfied in order for an investment to be classified as a
“sustainable investment”. Unless otherwise specified and where permitted by applicable law, any
references to “sustainable investing” or “ESG” in this material are intended as references to our internally
developed criteria only and not to any jurisdiction-specific regulatory definition.

On or about July 28, 2016, Respondents entered into a Consent Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Indiana
Securities Division (“ISD”). The Respondents consented to the entry of the Agreement that alleged that
certain conduct of the Respondents was outside the standards of honesty and ethics generally accepted in
the securities trade and industry, in violation of 710 Ind. Admin. Code§ 4-10-1(23) (2016). Specifically, the
Agreement alleged that, between 2008 and 2013, JPMS failed to disclose to Indiana investors that certain
proprietary mutual funds purchased for CSP clients offered institutional shares that were less expensive
than the institutional shares JPMS chose for CSP clients. In addition, the Agreement alleged that, from
February 2011 to January 2014, no account opening document or marketing materials disclosed to Indiana
investment management account clients or Indiana J.P. Morgan Investment Portfolio clients that JPMCB
preferred to invest client assets in proprietary mutual funds, and that between 2008 and January 2014,
JPMCB did not disclose its preference for investing certain investment management account assets in
certain proprietary hedge funds to Indiana clients. Lastly, the Agreement alleged that, JPMCB did not
disclose its preference for placement-agent-fee-paying third-party hedge fund managers in certain
investment management accounts to Indiana clients until August 2015. Solely for the purpose of settling
these proceedings, the Respondents consented to the Agreement, with no admissions as to liability. In the
44

Agreement, the Respondents agreed to pay a total of $950,000 to resolve the ISD’s investigation, which
was paid on August 1, 2016.
On March 9, 2020, JPMS entered into an Agreed Order (“Order”) with the Kentucky Department of Financial
Institutions. JPMS consented to the entry of the Order that alleged that JPMS failed to disclose conflicts of
interest arising from preferences for J.P. Morgan-managed mutual funds (“Proprietary Mutual Funds”), in
violation of KRS 292.320 and 808 KAR 10:450§2(8)(c) and (11)(a). Specifically, the Order alleged that,
between 2008 and 2013, JPMS failed to disclose to Kentucky investors that (i) CSP was designed and
operated with a preference for Proprietary Mutual Funds, (ii) there was an economic incentive to invest
CSP assets in Proprietary Mutual Funds as a result of discounted pricing for services provided to JPMS for
CSP by a JPMS affiliate, and (iii) until November 2013, JPMS failed to disclose to CSP clients the availability
of certain less expensive Proprietary Mutual Fund share classes. Solely for the purpose of settling these
proceedings, JPMS consented to the Order, with no admissions as to liability. In the Agreement, JPMS
agreed to pay a total of $325,000 to resolve the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions investigation.
In September 2020, JPMS, together with JPMC and JPMCB (collectively, “JPMorgan”) agreed to an
administrative resolution with the CFTC for violations of the CEA and CFTC regulations related to
manipulation, attempted manipulation and spoofing, as well as a charge against JPMS for failure to
supervise. As described in the CFTC’s Order, from at least 2008 through 2016, former JPMorgan traders
placed hundreds of thousands of spoof orders of precious metals futures and U.S. treasuries (“UST”)
futures on exchanges, and, on occasion, engaged in manipulation related to precious metals barrier
options. The CFTC Order further states that JPMS failed to identify, adequately investigate, and put a stop
to misconduct, despite red flags, including internal surveillance alerts, inquiries from CME and the CFTC,
and internal allegations of misconduct. JPMorgan consented to the entry of the CFTC Order without
admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except to the extent that admissions were made in the
related resolutions, described below, with the United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Fraud
Section, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut (together, “DOJ”) and the
SEC. JPMS also agreed to an administrative resolution with the SEC for violations of Section 17(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to the SEC Order, JPMS admitted to hundreds of manipulative trading
events involving spoofing by certain former JPMorgan traders in the UST cash securities secondary market
between April 2015 and January 2016. JPMC separately entered into a deferred prosecution agreement
(“DPA”) with DOJ with respect to a criminal information, charging JPMC with two counts of wire fraud (the
“Information”) related to the same conduct underlying the CFTC and SEC Orders. JPMS and JPMCB also
agreed to certain terms and obligations of the DPA. JPMorgan admitted, accepted, and acknowledged
responsibility for the acts of its officers, directors, employees, and agents as described in the Information
and the Statement of Facts accompanying the DPA, and that the allegations described therein are true and
accurate. In resolving these three actions, JPMorgan agreed to pay a total of $920,203,609 to DOJ, CFTC,
and SEC, consisting of civil and criminal monetary penalties, restitution, and disgorgement. JPMorgan
agreed to cease and desist from any further violations, and also agreed, among other things, to certain
cooperation, remediation, and reporting requirements.

C.
Material Relationships or Arrangements with Industry Participants
JPMPI manages accounts on behalf of its affiliates, which creates conflicts of interest related to JPMPI’s
determination to use, suggest, or recommend the services of such affiliates. The particular services
involved will depend on the types of services offered by the affiliate. The use of affiliates to provide services
to clients creates certain conflicts of interest for JPMS, JPMIM and JPMPI. Among other things, there are
financial incentives for JPMS, JPMIM and JPMPI (and their affiliates), including their parent companies
which in turn are indirectly owned by JPMC, to favor affiliated service providers over non-affiliated service
providers, and compensation of supervised persons of JPMS, JPMIM and JPMPI generally is directly or
indirectly related to the financial performance of J.P. Morgan. However, JPMPI believes there may also be
advantages to using affiliated service providers in certain situations, and JPMPI will engage such affiliated
service providers only in a manner consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and JPMPI’s policies and
procedures.
JPMPI has several relationships or arrangements with related persons that are material to its investment

JPMS is dually registered as a broker-dealer and an investment adviser with the SEC. JPMS acts as
sponsor for certain wrap fee programs listed in a separate brochure, which is available at the SEC’s website
at https://www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. JPMS is also registered as a FCM with the CFTC. Certain directors and
officers of JPMPI are also officers of JPMS. JPMPI utilizes JPMS for various services subject to applicable
laws and regulations and the policies and procedures of JPMPI.
JPMS and its affiliates serve as placement agent for the Private Funds and the Access Multi-Strategy
Funds, and in connection therewith, will earn origination fees with respect to the Private Funds (with the
exception of IDFs) and placement fees with respect to the Access Multi-Strategy Funds. Additional
information regarding the placement agency services provided to the Funds is available in the applicable
offering memorandum for the relevant fund. Additionally, JPMS and certain of its affiliates currently act as,
and are expected to act as placement agents for the underlying funds in which the Private Funds assets
will be invested and, in connection therewith, will generally earn fees for providing placement services and
other ongoing services of up to 3% of the capital commitments or contributions raised by JPMS and/or such
affiliates to the underlying funds (including, without limitation, the capital commitments of the Private Funds
to such underlying funds) (the “Sponsor Servicing Fees”). The fees earned by JPMS and certain of its
affiliates are in addition to the fees JPMPI receives in connection with management or administration of the
Private Funds, as applicable. To the extent invested in private equity funds or hedge funds, JPMPI generally
chooses to invest the Private Funds and the Access Multi-Strategy Funds in underlying funds that are also
available for other J.P. Morgan Private Bank or JPMS accounts, which typically are only underlying funds
whose sponsors or managers pay Sponsor Servicing Fees to JPMS or its affiliates. JPMS or its affiliates
do not receive Sponsor Servicing Fees in connection with investments by the Global Impact Fund, Venture
Capital Access Fund (two of the Thematic Funds) and the Access Multi-Strategy Funds. The investments
in underlying funds that compensate JPMS or its affiliates by their sponsor for providing placement and
other ongoing services involves a conflict of interest because J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when
funds that make such payments are included.
In addition to the foregoing, JPMPI may use JPMS for various services, subject to applicable laws and
regulations and the policies and procedures of JPMPI.

(2) investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund, closed-end
investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or “hedge fund,” and
offshore fund)
JPMPI provides investment advice and/or administrative functions for private investment funds organized
as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or non-U.S. companies, and serves as investment
adviser to private equity funds for which JPMIM provides day to day investment decisions. In addition,
JPMPI acts as investment adviser to the Access Multi-Strategy Funds and provides the day-to-day
investment decisions, including the selection of funds.
JPMPI also serves as sub-adviser to the IDFs for which SALI Fund Management serves as investment
adviser. JPMPI has entered into sub-advisory arrangements with SALI Fund Management to provide the
day-to-day investment decisions for the IDFs, including the selection of funds, which may include J.P.
Morgan affiliated funds.
JPMPI also acts as the investment adviser to the Six Circles Funds, an open-end mutual funds registered
under the 1940 Act. See “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and Potential Conflicts of Interest” below. In
addition, please see Section D of this Item and Item 11 for more information on material conflicts of interest
relating to JPMPI’s advisory services.
JPMPI serves as investment adviser to a Hedge Fund that operates as a “fund-of-hedge-funds” and invests
in hedge funds advised by an unaffiliated manager.
(3) other investment adviser or financial planner
JPMPI's affiliate, JPMIM may serve as the investment adviser or sub-adviser for various J.P. Morgan
affiliated funds, including funds organized under the laws of other countries and jurisdictions. JPMIM is the
primary adviser to a U.S. mutual funds complex as well as separately managed accounts. JPMPI often
recommends and invests JPMPI’s client accounts in J.P. Morgan affiliated funds and separately managed
accounts which creates a conflict of interest because JPMPI affiliates benefit from increased allocations to
the J.P. Morgan affiliated funds and to its separately managed accounts, and JPMDS and other affiliates
receive distribution, placement, administration, custody, trust services or other fees for services provided
to such funds.
JPMPI’s affiliate, JPMCB, manages separately managed account strategies that the ISS Fund offers.
Additionally, as described in Item 10.C(4), JPMCB also provides investment advice to JPMCB’s private
bank clients who can also be investors in JPMPI-advised funds.
Additionally, JPMPI has engaged and will likely engage in the future JPMIM’s Private Equity Group (“PEG”)
to manage the liquidation of private equity in-kind distributions for certain Private Funds. In connection with
providing such services, PEG receives a fee equal to a percentage of the actual aggregated realized value
of the assets sold by PEG on behalf of a Private Fund. This arrangement therefore creates a conflicts of
interest because PEG receives fees from the Private Funds based on the value of securities sold. The
value of such assets may not be readily tradeable and such sale may occur over an extended period of
48
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
time and may be conducted gradually, as determined by PEG in its discretion. It is possible that the amount
of cash proceeds distributed to investors may be less than the value of the assets distributed in kind to
such Private Funds, depending on the price at which such assets are sold and, accordingly, the risk of loss
and delay in liquidating such assets (and any potential decrease in value) will be borne by such Private
Funds (and indirectly, its investors). Thus, the retention of PEG and such fee arrangement give rise to
actual or potential conflicts of interests, including because PEG will be provided with discretion with respect
to the timing and amount of sales of securities or other assets.
JPMPI is under common control with Highbridge Capital Management (“HCM”). HCM provides advisory
services to certain hedge funds and private equity funds in which conduit vehicles are administered by
JPMPI.
For certain Private Funds, JPMPI identifies certain investment strategies and retains unaffiliated investment
advisers to implement such investment strategies through investments in other funds.
From time to time, JPMPI or its related persons may act as a general partner of a limited partnership, or
managing member of a limited liability company to which JPMPI serves as an adviser or otherwise. JPMS
and its affiliates may solicit the Private Bank’s and JPMS’s clients to invest in such limited partnerships or
limited liability companies, for which J.P. Morgan may receive compensation.
In addition, JPMPI engages certain foreign affiliated advisers that are not registered as investment advisers
with the SEC to provide non-discretionary advice, including manager selection and analysis or asset
allocation discussions, to JPMPI for use with its U.S. clients (a "Participating Affiliate Arrangement"). A
Participating Affiliate Arrangement is structured in accordance with a series of SEC no-action letters
requiring that participating affiliates remain subject to the regulatory supervision of both JPMPI and the SEC
in certain respects. Please see Section D of this Item and Item 11 for more information on material conflicts
of interest relating to JPMPI’s advisory services. Currently, JPMPI has a Participating Affiliate Arrangement
with J.P. Morgan SE, London Branch.
(4) banking or thrift institution
J.P. Morgan, JPMPI’s parent company, is a public company that is a bank holding company registered with
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). J.P. Morgan is subject to
supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve and is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the
Bank Holding Company Act and related regulations.
JPMCB is a national banking association. JPMCB is subject to supervision and regulation by the U.S.
Department of Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. JPMCB provides banking, investment
management, trustee, custody and other services to clients. JPMCB also provides custody, or
administrative services to funds sponsored or managed by J.P. Morgan. JPMCB and/or other affiliates of
JPMCB share personnel (including investment advisory, research, legal, compliance, investor relations,
marketing, technology, accounting, back office, human resources, IT, risk management, and administrative
personnel) with JPMPI and provide other investment and non-investment resources to JPMPI. A
substantial number of JPMPI’s supervised persons also have duties and obligations outside of JPMPI to
JPMCB and/or JPMPI’s other affiliates. Personnel sharing can result in conflicts of interest to the extent
49
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
such personnel have substantive responsibilities outside of JPMPI. For example, the resources available
to JPMPI may be impacted by such personnel’s other responsibilities to JPMCB or its affiliates. In addition,
it may be more difficult for JPMPI to supervise such personnel and to monitor the communications and
activities of such personnel. JPMPI has policies and procedures to address these conflicts. To the extent
JPMCB or its affiliates share personnel with JPMPI, such personnel generally will be treated as supervised
persons of JPMPI for compliance purposes with respect to that portion of their roles and responsibilities
that directly relates to JPMPI’s business.
(5) outside counsel engagement
J.P. Morgan and its affiliates have entered into arrangements with service providers that include fee
discounts for services rendered to J.P. Morgan. For example, certain law firms retained by J.P. Morgan
discount their legal fees based upon the type and volume of services provided to J.P. Morgan. The cost of
legal services paid by JPMPI’s clients is separately negotiated and is not included in the negotiation or
calculation of the J.P. Morgan rate and, as a result, the fees that are charged to the clients typically reflect
higher billing rates. In the event that legal services are provided jointly to J.P. Morgan or its affiliates and a
JPMPI client with respect to a particular matter, the client and J.P. Morgan will each bear their pro-rata
share of the cost of such services which may reflect the J.P. Morgan discount or a higher rate, depending
on the facts and circumstances of the particular engagement.
D.
Material Conflicts of Interest Relating to Other Investment Advisers
JPMPI has described certain conflicts of interest related to other investment advisers in Items 11 and 12
below.
Share Classes and Registered Fund Fees
To the extent that any Private Funds or RICs invest in mutual funds, closed-end registered funds, ETFs or
money market funds (“Registered Funds”), the following language apply:
Registered funds typically offer different ways to buy shares with different share classes that may assess
different fees and expenses. JPMS strives to make available the most appropriate share class on the
platform for each Registered Fund, with the goal of generally obtaining the lowest cost share class.
However, for certain Registered Funds, the share classes with the lowest fee structures are not available
for investment (e.g., (1) the Registered Fund family restricts access to these share classes or (2) JPMS
does not have an agreement with the Registered Fund to distribute the share class). The share class of a
Registered Fund available can differ from the share class available to similar accounts managed by or held
at JPMPI or its affiliates, and certain lower cost Registered Fund share classes can be available outside of
the platform. Clients should contact their financial advisor(s) for information about any limitations on share
classes available through the Funds. JPMS through its brokerage accounts have other arrangements with
Registered Fund companies that are described in the relevant brokerage documents.
JPMS and its affiliates receive fees or other forms of compensation from Registered Funds (including
money market funds), or their affiliates. JPMS believes that this conflict is addressed in the following ways:
50
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
• 12b-1 Distribution Fees: JPMS receives fees from certain Registered Funds pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“12b-1 Distribution Fees”). Rule 12b-1 allows
Registered Funds to use registered fund assets to pay the costs of marketing and distribution of
the Registered Fund’s shares. If JPMS receives 12b-1 Distribution Fees, it will rebate these fees
to its advisory clients.
• Other Fees: JPMS enters into agreements with the Registered Funds, their investment managers,
distributors, principal underwriters, shareholder servicing agents and/or other affiliates of the
Registered Funds (“Service Providers”). The Registered Funds or their Service Providers pay J.P.
Morgan fees for providing certain administrative services, which include maintaining and updating
separate records for each client, preparing and delivering client statements, tax reporting, proxy
voting and solicitation, processing purchase and redemption orders, processing dividends,
distributing prospectuses and other Registered Fund reports, and responding to client inquiries.
These fees for these services are typically called “shareholder servicing fees,” when paid for by the
Registered Fund; however these fees can be referred to as “revenue sharing” when they are paid
by the Registered Fund Service Provider from its own resources (together referred to as “Servicing
Fees”). As of December 31, 2024, the Servicing Fees that JPMS received for non-money market
funds were up to 25 basis points annually of the Registered Fund assets, or a rate of up to $20 per
year per Registered Fund position; however, these amounts can change. The receipt by JPMS of
these fees creates a conflict of interest in the selection of Registered Funds for accounts because
the fees are different among Registered Funds. Similarly, JPMS has a conflict to recommend
Registered Funds that pay Servicing Fees instead of ETFs or other securities or products that do
not pay any Servicing Fee. The JPMPI portfolio managers, who are responsible for managing or
recommending investments for the Funds do not receive any direct financial benefit from the
Servicing Fees. To that extent, such JPMPI portfolio managers are incentivized to invest in or
recommend securities they believe will increase the value of the account. JPMS does not retain
any portion of those fees for retirement advisory accounts. When evaluating the fees for, and cost
of, a Fund, clients should consider the Servicing Fees that JPMS receives in addition to the
investment advisory fees. Clients can also request a Registered Fund prospectus for additional
information regarding Registered Fund fees.
Once a particular share class is made available for a particular Registered Fund, Funds can only purchase
that share class for such Registered Fund. JPMS periodically reviews the share classes offered by
Registered Funds, but also relies on the Registered Fund families to inform JPMS when and if these share
classes will be made available. If JPMS identifies and makes available a class of shares for a Registered
Fund more appropriate than the class of shares previously made available for the Registered Fund, to the
extent allowed, JPMS will convert client shares of the Registered Fund to that more appropriate share class
of the same Registered Fund. Operational and other considerations can affect the timing of the conversion
of shares, and can cause the timing or implementation of such conversions to differ between clients.
Some of the Registered Fund share classes available through the Funds are not necessarily available to
clients outside of such Funds. To the extent an account is terminated, clients may not be eligible to continue
51
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
to hold or purchase certain share classes offered in a Fund outside of such Fund, as well as outside the
firm.
See “Other Compensation from Underlying Funds” in Item 11.B below.
ITEM 11
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A.
Code of Ethics
JPMPI has adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act. The Code of Ethics
is designed to ensure that JPMPI and its supervised persons comply with applicable federal securities laws
and place the interests of clients before their own personal interests at all times. The Code of Ethics imposes
certain restrictions on securities transactions in the personal accounts of supervised persons to help avoid
or mitigate conflicts of interest, as described more fully below. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available free
of charge to any client or prospective client upon request by contacting a client service representative or
financial adviser.
(i)
General
The Code of Ethics contains policies and procedures relating to:
• Account holding reports and personal trading, including reporting and preclearance
requirements for all personnel of JPMPI;
• Confidentiality obligations to clients set forth in the J.P. Morgan privacy notices; and
• Conflicts of interest, which includes guidance relating to restrictions on trading on material, non-
public information (“MNPI”).
In general, the personal trading rules under the Code of Ethics require that accounts of JPMPI personnel
be maintained with an approved broker and that certain trades in securities for such accounts be pre-
cleared and monitored by compliance personnel. The Code of Ethics also prohibits certain types of trading
activity, such as short-term and speculative trades. JPMPI personnel must obtain approval prior to
engaging in all covered security transactions, including those issued in private placements. In addition,
JPMPI personnel are not permitted to buy or sell securities issued by J.P. Morgan during certain periods
throughout the year. Certain “Access Persons” (defined as persons with access to non-public information
regarding JPMPI’s recommendations to clients, purchases, or sales of securities for client accounts and
advised funds) are prohibited from executing personal trades in a security at certain times. In addition,
Access Persons are required to disclose household members' personal security transactions and holdings
information. These disclosure obligations and restrictions are designed to mitigate conflicts of interest that
generally arise if Access Persons transact in the same securities as advisory clients.
Additionally, all JPMPI personnel are subject to the J.P. Morgan firm-wide policies and procedures including
those found in the J.P. Morgan Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct sets forth restrictions regarding
confidential and proprietary information, information barriers, private investments, outside business
52
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
activities and personal trading. All J.P. Morgan employees, including JPMPI personnel, are required to
familiarize themselves with, comply with, and attest annually to their compliance with the provisions of the
Code of Conduct’s terms as a condition of continued employment.
Where appropriate, JPMPI and its affiliates generally address the conflicts disclosed in this Brochure
through policies and procedures.
(ii)
Information Barrier Policies
Wealth management maintains various types of internal information barriers and other policies that are
designed to prevent certain information from being shared or transmitted to other business units within
wealth management or between JPMIM and wealth management, and within J.P. Morgan more broadly.
JPMPI relies on these information barriers to protect the integrity of its investment process and to comply
with fiduciary duties and regulatory obligations. JPMPI also relies upon these barriers to mitigate potential
conflicts, to preserve confidential information and to prevent the inappropriate flow of MNPI and confidential
information to and from JPMPI and to other J.P. Morgan lines of business. MNPI is information not generally
disseminated to the public that a reasonable investor would likely consider important in making an
investment decision. This information is received voluntarily and involuntarily and under varying
circumstances, including, but not limited to, upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement, as a result of
serving on the board of directors of a company, serving on ad hoc or official creditors' committees and
participation in risk, advisory or other committees for various trading platforms, clearinghouses and other
market infrastructure related entities and organizations. JPMPI’s information barriers include: (1) written
policies and procedures to limit the sharing of MNPI and confidential information on a need to know basis
only, and (2) various physical, technical and procedural controls to safeguard such information. As a result
of information barriers, JPMPI generally will not have access, or will have limited access, to information and
personnel in other areas of J.P. Morgan, and generally will not manage the client accounts and funds with
the benefit of information held by these other areas.
Under certain circumstances, JPMPI and/or its affiliates will decide that transactions in a particular security
need to be restricted and therefore JPMPI and/or its affiliates will determine that the security should be
placed on a “restricted list.” While the security is on the restricted list, JPMPI typically prohibits purchases,
sales, or all transactions in the security. The reasons for placing a security on the restricted list include, but
are not limited to: (i) preventing JPMPI from exceeding regulatory investment limitations with respect to the
securities of companies in certain regulated industries, such as insurance companies and public utilities,
(ii) avoiding a concentration in any particular security, (iii) buttressing an information barrier by preventing
the appearance of impropriety in connection with trading decisions or recommendations, and (iv) preventing
the use or appearance of the use of inside information.
B.
Securities in Which JPMPI or a Related Person Has a Material Financial Interest and Other
Conflicts of Interest
J.P. Morgan Acting in Multiple Commercial Capacities
J.P. Morgan is a diversified financial services firm that provides a broad range of services and products to
its clients and is a major participant in the global currency, equity, commodity, fixed-income and other
53
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
markets in which JPMPI’s client accounts can directly or indirectly invest. J.P. Morgan is typically entitled to
compensation in connection with these activities and JPMPI’s clients will not be entitled to any such
compensation. In providing services and products to clients other than JPMPI’s clients, J.P. Morgan, from
time to time, faces conflicts of interest with respect to activities recommended to or performed for JPMPI’s
clients on one hand and for J.P. Morgan’s other clients on the other hand. For example, J.P. Morgan has,
and continues to seek to develop banking and other financial and advisory relationships with numerous
U.S. and non-U.S. persons and governments. J.P. Morgan also advises and represents potential buyers
and sellers of businesses worldwide. JPMPI’s client accounts have invested in, or wish to invest in, such
entities represented by J.P. Morgan or with which J.P. Morgan has a banking, advisory or other financial
relationship. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, J.P. Morgan persons issue recommendations on
securities held in accounts advised or sub-advised by JPMPI that are contrary to the investment activities
of JPMPI. In addition, certain clients of J.P. Morgan invest in entities in which J.P. Morgan holds an interest,
including a collective investment trust, fund or other pooled investment vehicle managed by a J.P. Morgan
affiliate. In providing services to its clients and as a participant in global markets, J.P. Morgan from time to
time recommends or engages in activities that compete with or otherwise adversely affect JPMPI’s client
account or its investments. It should be recognized that such relationships can preclude JPMPI’s clients
from engaging in certain transactions and can also restrict investment opportunities that would otherwise
be available to JPMPI’s clients. For example, J.P. Morgan is often engaged by companies as a financial
adviser, or to provide financing or other services, in connection with commercial transactions that are
indirectly potential investment opportunities for JPMPI’s clients. There are circumstances in which advisory
accounts are precluded from participating in such transactions as a result of J.P. Morgan’s engagement by
such companies. J.P. Morgan reserves the right to act for these companies in such circumstances,
notwithstanding the potential adverse effect on JPMPI’s clients. In addition, J.P. Morgan derives ancillary
benefits from providing investment advisory, custody, administration, and other services to JPMPI’s clients,
and providing such services to such clients generally enhances J.P. Morgan’s relationships with various
parties, facilitate additional business development and enable J.P. Morgan to obtain additional business
and generate additional revenue.
The following are descriptions of certain additional conflicts of interest and potential conflicts of interest that
are associated with the financial or other interests that J.P. Morgan and JPMPI have in transactions effected
by, with, or on behalf of its clients. In addition to the specific mitigants described further below, JPMPI has
established information barriers (see Item 11.A) and adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed
to appropriately prevent, limit or mitigate conflicts of interest. In addition, many of the activities that create
these conflicts of interest are conducted under an available exception.
Conflicts Relating to J.P. Morgan Service Providers
J.P. Morgan provides financing, consulting, investment banking, management, custodial, prime brokerage,
transfer agency, shareholder servicing, treasury oversight, administration, distribution or other services
(“Services”) to its clients, including investment funds, products or companies in which JPMPI invests on
behalf of, or which JPMPI recommends for investment to its clients. These relationships generate revenue
to J.P. Morgan and have the potential to influence JPMPI in deciding whether to select such investment
funds, products or companies for investment by its clients or to recommend such funds, products or
companies to its clients, in deciding how to manage such investments, and in deciding when to sell such
investments. For example, J.P. Morgan earns compensation from private funds or their sponsors for
54
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
providing certain Services, and JPMPI has an incentive to favor such funds over other funds with which J.P.
Morgan has no relationship when investing on behalf of, or recommending investments to, its clients
because such investments potentially increase J.P. Morgan’s overall revenue. In addition, J.P. Morgan
derives ancillary benefits from providing such Services.
Therefore, it is important for clients to know that J.P. Morgan has policies which seek to ensure the receipt
of such compensation as described above does not affect J.P. Morgan’s decisions and recommendations
to clients. Wealth management maintains various types of internal information barriers and other policies
that are designed to prevent certain information from being shared or transmitted to other business units
within wealth management and within J.P. Morgan more broadly. JPMPI relies on these information barriers
to protect the integrity of its investment process and to comply with fiduciary duties and regulatory
obligations.
Conflicts Related to Advisers and Service Providers
Certain advisers or service providers to clients managed by JPMPI (including investment advisers,
accountants, administrators, lenders, bankers, brokers, attorneys, consultants and investment or
commercial banking firms) provide goods or services to, or have business, personal, financial or other
relationships with J.P. Morgan and/or JPMPI, their affiliates, advisory clients and portfolio companies. Such
advisers and service providers may be clients of J.P. Morgan and JPMPI, sources of investment
opportunities, co-investors, commercial counterparties, or entities in which J.P. Morgan has an investment.
Additionally, certain employees of J.P. Morgan or JPMPI could have family members or relatives employed
by such advisers and service providers. These relationships could have the appearance of affecting or
potentially influencing JPMPI in deciding whether to select or recommend such advisers or service
providers to perform services for its clients or investments held by such clients (the cost of which will
generally be borne directly or indirectly by such clients).
Capacity and Other Limitations on Investment Positions
JPMPI and its affiliates maintain certain limitations on investment positions (including registered funds) that
JPMPI or its affiliates will take on behalf of its various clients due to, among other things: (i) liquidity
concerns, (ii) regulatory requirements applicable to JPMPI or its affiliates, and (iii) internal policies related
to such concerns or requirements, in light of the management of multiple portfolios and businesses by
JPMPI and its affiliates. Such policies preclude JPMPI or its affiliates from purchasing certain investments
for clients, and may cause JPMPI to sell certain investments held in client accounts. JPMPI is also more
likely to select a J.P. Morgan affiliated fund in circumstances where it would not be able to invest all desired
client assets in a particular non-J.P. Morgan fund due to these limitations. This could result in performance
dispersion among accounts with similar investment objectives.
Clients’ Investments in Affiliated Companies
Subject to applicable law, from time to time JPMPI will include equity instruments or other securities in client
accounts that represent an indirect interest in securities of J.P. Morgan, including J.P. Morgan stock. JPMPI
will receive advisory fees on the portion of client holdings invested in such instruments or other securities
and will be entitled to vote or otherwise exercise rights and take actions with respect to such instruments
55
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
or other securities on behalf of its clients. Generally, such activity occurs when a client account includes an
index strategy that targets the returns of certain indices in which J.P. Morgan securities are a key
component.
Clients’ Investments in Deposit Account
Certain funds authorize JPMPI to the extent permitted by applicable law, to invest (i.e., sweep) available
cash balances in the JPMorgan Chase Deposit Account (the “Deposit Account”) or one or more money
market mutual funds that are managed by affiliates of JPMS. JPMCB is a national banking association
affiliated with JPMS and is subject to supervision and regulation by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Although there is no charge to clients with respect to the Deposit Account, JPMCB benefits from the use
of the Deposit Account because JPMCB receives a stable, cost-effective source of funding. JPMCB uses
customer deposits in the Deposit Account to fund current and new businesses, including lending activities
and investments. The profitability on such lending activities and investments is generally measured by the
difference, or “spread”, between the interest rate and other costs associated with the Deposit Account paid
by JPMCB, and the interest rate and other income earned by JPMCB on the loans and investments made
with the deposits. The income that JPMCB earns through its lending and investing activities is usually
significantly greater than the interest earned by clients through the Deposit Account. It is typically also
greater than the fee earned by all J.P. Morgan entities from managing and distributing money market mutual
funds available to clients.
An internal governance committee reviews the target allocation to cash for certain Funds to determine
whether it is consistent with such strategy’s investment objective.
Restrictions Relating to J.P. Morgan Directorships/Affiliations
From time to time, directors, officers and employees of J.P. Morgan, serve on the board of directors or hold
another senior position with a corporation, investment fund manager or other institution which may desire
to sell an investment to, acquire an investment from or otherwise engage in a transaction with, JPMPI. The
presence of such persons in these circumstances will generally require the relevant person to recuse
themselves from participating in a transaction, or cause JPMPI to determine that it (or its client) is unable
to pursue a transaction because of a potential conflict of interest. In such cases, the investment
opportunities available to the clients and the ability of such clients to engage in transactions or retain certain
investments or assets will be limited.
Other Compensation from Underlying Funds
Certain investment funds in which J.P. Morgan may invest its clients’ assets will execute transactions for
their portfolios through JPMS or an affiliate as broker-dealer, and JPMS or an affiliate would receive
compensation from the underlying funds in connection with these transactions. Such compensation
presents a conflict of interest between J.P. Morgan and its clients because J.P. Morgan would have a
financial incentive to invest client assets in such underlying funds: (1) in the hope or expectation that
increasing the amount of assets invested with the underlying funds will increase the number and/or size of
56
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
transactions placed by the underlying funds for execution by JPMS or an affiliate or other related person,
and thereby result in increased compensation to JPMS and its affiliates and other related persons in the
aggregate; and (2) to benefit the underlying funds and thereby preserve and foster valuable brokerage
relationships with the underlying funds.
J.P. Morgan’s Use and Ownership of Trading Systems
J.P. Morgan may effect trades on behalf of its client accounts through exchanges, electronic
communications networks, alternative trading systems and similar execution systems and trading venues
(collectively, “Trading Systems”), including Trading Systems in which J.P. Morgan has a direct or indirect
ownership interest. J.P. Morgan will receive indirect proportionate compensation based upon its ownership
percentage in relation to the transaction fees charged by such Trading Systems in which it has an ownership
interest. Such Trading Systems (and the extent of J.P. Morgan’s ownership interest in any Trading System)
may change from time to time. J.P. Morgan addresses this conflict by disclosure to its clients.
Companies with an Ownership Interest in J.P. Morgan Stock
Certain unaffiliated asset management firms (each, an “unaffiliated asset manager”) through their funds
and separately managed accounts currently hold a 5% or more ownership interest in J.P. Morgan publicly
traded stock. Ownership interests in this range or of greater amounts present a conflict of interest when
J.P. Morgan purchases publicly traded securities of the unaffiliated asset manager or invests in funds that
are advised by such unaffiliated asset manager on behalf of client accounts or J.P. Morgan affiliated funds.
J.P. Morgan does not receive any additional compensation for client accounts’ or J.P. Morgan affiliated
funds’ investments in publicly traded securities or funds of an unaffiliated asset manager as a result of its
ownership interest in JPMC stock. J.P. Morgan monitors ownership interests in J.P. Morgan for regulatory
purposes and to identify and mitigate actual and perceived conflicts of interest. As of March 2, 2026, the
Vanguard Group, Inc. and BlackRock, Inc. hold more than a 5% interest in J.P. Morgan.
Conflicts Related to Similar Accounts
The same personnel who provide investment advice and due diligence to IDFs, RICs, Vintage Funds and
Thematic Funds also provide investment advice and due diligence for other client accounts of JPMPI, and
for clients of JPMPI affiliates. Some of these other accounts (“Similar Accounts”) have the same or
substantially similar investment objectives, and follow similar strategies to those used by the IDFs, RICs,
Vintage Funds or Thematic Funds. The IDFs, RICs, Vintage Funds or Thematic Funds may not be handled
identically to Similar Accounts. Transactions may be implemented in Similar Accounts that follow the same
or a substantially similar strategy to the IDFs, RICs, Vintage Funds or Thematic Funds but that may not be
implemented in the IDFs, RICs, Vintage Funds or Thematic Funds. JPMPI and/or its affiliates may receive
more compensation with respect to Similar Accounts than it or its affiliates receive from the IDFs, RICs,
Vintage Funds or Thematic Funds. This may create a potential conflict of interest for JPMPI and its affiliates
or the portfolio managers by providing an incentive to favor these Similar Accounts when, for example,
placing securities transactions.

Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Investment Principles and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest will arise whenever J.P. Morgan has an actual or perceived economic or other incentive
in its management of clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for
example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in the account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests
in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge
fund issued or managed by JPMCB or an affiliate, such as JPMIM; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains
services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives
payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan
receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with
respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of
relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.
Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and unaffiliated asset managers and are subject
to a review process by the investment due diligence team and operational due diligence team. From this
pool of strategies, JPMPI’s portfolio construction teams select those strategies JPMPI believes fits the asset
allocation goals and forward looking views in order to meet the portfolio’s investment objective.
As a general matter, JPMPI prefers J.P. Morgan managed strategies. JPMPI expects the proportion of J.P.
Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash
and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.
While JPMPI’s internally managed strategies generally align well with JPMPI’s forward looking views, and
JPMPI is familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of J.P.
Morgan, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed
strategies are included. In certain programs, JPMPI offers the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan
managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
The Six Circles Funds are mutual funds advised by JPMPI and sub-advised by third-parties. Although
considered internally managed strategies, neither JPMPI nor its affiliates retain a fee for fund management
or other fund services.
Conflicts Related to the Engagement of Sub-Advisers
JPMPI may engage affiliated and/or unaffiliated sub-advisers for pooled investment vehicles, including the
Six Circles Funds. The sub-advisers have interests and relationships that could create potential conflicts of
interest related to their management of the assets of such investment vehicles. Such conflicts of interest
may be similar to, different from, or supplement those conflicts described herein relating to J.P. Morgan and
JPMPI.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MUTUAL FUNDS AND EXCHANGED-TRADED FUNDS
REGISTERED UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED (“REGISTERED
FUNDS”)
(i) J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds - Management Fees
JPMPI or its affiliates may be the sponsor or manager of Registered Funds, including ETFs, that are
purchased for the client’s portfolio. In such case, JPMPI or its affiliates in most cases will receive a fee for
managing the Registered Funds or for providing other services to such Funds based on the value of the
assets invested in the Funds. As such, JPMPI and its affiliates will receive more total revenue when the
client’s portfolio is invested in such Registered Funds than when it is invested in third party funds.
(ii) J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and Third Party Funds - Other Fees & Expenses
All Registered Funds have various internal fees and other expenses, that are paid by managers or issuers
of the Registered Funds or by the Registered Fund itself, but that ultimately are borne by the investor. J.P.
Morgan may receive administrative and servicing and other fees for providing services to both J.P. Morgan
affiliated Registered Funds and third party funds that are held in the client’s portfolio. These payments may
be made by sponsors of Registered Funds (including affiliates of JPMPI) or by the Registered Funds
themselves and may be based on the value of the Registered Funds in the client’s portfolio. Registered
Funds or their sponsors may have other business relationships with J.P. Morgan outside of its portfolio
management role or with the broker-dealer affiliates of J.P. Morgan, which may provide brokerage or other
services that pay commissions, fees and other compensation.
(iii) Six Circles Funds
The Six Circles Funds are funds specifically designed by JPMPI and its affiliates for use in discretionary
accounts as completion funds to align with J.P. Morgan’s core portfolio views. JPMPI acts as investment
adviser to the Six Circles Funds and engages unaffiliated investment managers as sub-advisers to manage
all or a portion of the Six Circles Funds’ investment portfolios. J.P. Morgan will experience certain benefits
and efficiencies from investing account assets in the Six Circles Funds instead of unaffiliated investment
vehicles; however, JPMPI does not retain investment advisory fees for managing the Six Circles Funds
through an agreement to waive any investment advisory fees that exceed the fees owed to the Six Circles
Funds' third-party sub-advisers. Currently, the Six Circles Funds do not pay fees to JPMPI or its affiliates
for any other services to the Six Circles Funds. Services are provided by third-party service providers and
are generally paid by the Six Circles Funds or J.P. Morgan. (The market value of assets invested in the Six
Circles Funds will be included in calculating the advisory fees paid on the overall client portfolio.)
Please see the applicable prospectus for more complete information about the Six Circles Funds, including
the Funds’ objectives, risks, charges and expenses.
Principal and Agency Transactions
For the Private Funds described in this Brochure, only as permitted by applicable law (including relevant
disclosure and consent requirements), JPMPI, acting on behalf of one of its Private Funds, from time to
time, enters into principal transactions with or through J.P. Morgan. A “principal transaction” occurs if
59
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
JPMPI, acting on behalf of a Private Fund, knowingly buys a security or other instrument from, or sells a
security or instrument to, JPMPI’s or its affiliate's own account.
For the client accounts described in this Brochure, when permitted by applicable law and JPMPI’s policy
(including relevant consent requirements), JPMPI, acting on behalf of its clients, can cause client accounts
to engage in cross transactions and agency cross transactions with or through J.P. Morgan.
A “cross transaction” occurs when JPMPI arranges a transaction between different client accounts where
the client accounts buy and sell securities or other instruments from, or to each other. For example, in some
instances a security to be sold by one client account may independently be considered appropriate for
purchase by another client account. In such cases, JPMPI may, but is not required, to cause the security
to be “crossed” or transferred directly between the relevant accounts at an independently determined
market price and without incurring brokerage commissions, although customary custodian fees and transfer
fees may be incurred, no part of which will be received by JPMPI.
An “agency cross transaction” occurs if J.P, Morgan acts as broker for, and receives a commission from a
client account of JPMPI on one side of the transaction and a brokerage account on the other side of the
transaction in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by JPMPI’s client account.
JPMPI faces potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities to the parties in the above
transactions, including with respect to a decision to enter into such transactions as well as with respect to
valuation, pricing and other terms. JPMPI addresses this conflict by ensuring that no such transactions will
be effected unless JPMPI determines that the transaction is in the best interest of each client account and
permitted by applicable law.
Potential Conflicts Relating to Investment Valuation
Six Circles Funds and Certain Private Equity Funds
Certain Private Equity Funds are valued by an affiliate of JPMPI. The Six Circles Funds are valued through
a valuation committee comprised of personnel from JPMPI and its affiliates which has been designated by
the Fund’s Board of Trustees as the party responsible for the certain fair value functions, including day-to-
day fair valuation determinations. There is an inherent conflict of interest when an affiliate of JPMPI values
securities or assets in client accounts or provides any assistance in connection with such valuation and
JPMPI and its affiliate are receiving a fee based on the value of such assets. Overvaluing certain positions
held by clients will inflate the value of the client assets as well as the performance record of such client
accounts which would likely increase the fees payable to JPMPI and its affiliate. As a result, there are
circumstances where an affiliate is incentivized to determine valuations that are higher than the actual fair
value of investments.
In addition, the affiliate can value identical assets differently in different accounts or funds due to, different
valuation guidelines applicable to such private funds or different third-party pricing vendors, among other
reasons. Furthermore, certain units within J.P. Morgan may assign a different value to identical assets than
the affiliate because these units may have certain information regarding valuation techniques and models
or other information relevant to the valuation of a specific asset or category of assets, which they do not
60
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
share with the affiliate. The various lines of business within J.P. Morgan typically will be guided by specific
policies and requirements with respect to valuation of client holdings. Such policies include valuations that
are provided by third-parties, when appropriate, as well as comprehensive internal valuation methodologies.
On occasion, the affiliate utilizes the services of affiliated pricing vendors for assistance with the pricing of
certain securities. In addition, securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or are deemed
to be unreliable, are fair valued in accordance with established policies and procedures. Fair value
situations could include, but are not limited to:
Illiquid securities
• A significant event that affects the value of a security
•
• Securities that have defaulted or are de-listed from an exchange and are no longer trading
• Any other circumstance in which it is determined that current market quotations do not accurately
reflect the value of the security
Real Estate Funds
An investment made by a Junius Fund may not have a readily ascertainable market value (i.e., is a difficult-
to-value asset) and will be valued by JPMPI, in consultation with JRE as deemed appropriate, in accordance
with its established valuation policies. When JPMPI determines that the market price does not fairly
represent the value of an investment, JPMPI will value such investment at fair value as it reasonably
determines.
There is an inherent conflict of interest where JPMPI values investments of the Junius Funds and is
receiving a fee in part based on the value of such investments. Overvaluing positions held by a Junius Fund
by failing to write-down an investment may increase the management fees and/or any other asset based
fees, if any, payable to JPMPI. As a result, JPMPI will be at times incentivized to determine valuations that
are higher than the actual fair value of investments.
J.P. Morgan is engaged in advisory and management services for multiple other J.P. Morgan products. In
connection with these activities, J.P. Morgan from time to time is required to value assets, including in
connection with managing or advising their proprietary and client accounts. JPMPI will value the Junius
Fund investments according to its established valuation policies, and at times could value an identical asset
differently than other units within J.P. Morgan (e.g., when an asset does not have a readily ascertainable
market price). This is particularly the case in respect of difficult-to-value assets. JPMPI may also value an
identical asset differently in different accounts (e.g., because different accounts are subject to different
valuation guidelines pursuant to their respective governing agreements, different third-party vendors are
hired to perform valuation functions for the accounts, or the accounts are managed or advised by different
portfolio management teams within J.P. Morgan).
All valuation recommendations are subject to unanimous approval of a valuation committee established by
JPMPI. The valuation committee is designed to review, among other things, the fairness of the valuation
policies and methodologies and their consistent application, as well as the selection and oversight of third-
party service providers with significant involvement in the valuation process and the continued ability of
those providers to consistently, fairly and accurately apply JPMPI’s valuation policies.
C. Investing in Securities that JPMPI or a Related Person Recommends to Clients
JPMPI and its related persons can recommend or invest in securities on behalf of its clients that JPMPI and
its related persons can also purchase or sell for themselves. As a result, positions taken by JPMPI and its
61
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
related persons may be the same as or different from, or made contemporaneously or at different times
than, positions taken for clients of JPMPI. As these situations may involve actual or potential conflicts of
interest, JPMPI has adopted policies and procedures relating to personal securities transactions, insider
trading, and other ethical considerations. These policies and procedures are intended to identify and
mitigate actual and perceived conflicts of interest and to resolve such conflicts appropriately if they do occur.
The policies and procedures contain provisions regarding preclearance of employee trading, reporting
requirements and supervisory procedures that are designed to address potential conflicts of interest with
respect to the activities and relationships of related persons that might interfere or appear to interfere with
making decisions in the best interest of clients. JPMPI has implemented monitoring systems designed to
ensure compliance with these policies and procedures.
J.P. Morgan’s Proprietary Investments
JPMPI, J.P. Morgan, and any of their directors, partners, officers, agents or employees, also buy, sell or
trade securities for their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI and/or J.P. Morgan. JPMPI
and/or J.P. Morgan, within their discretion, may make different investment decisions and take other actions
with respect to their proprietary accounts than those made for client accounts, including the timing or nature
of such investment decisions or actions. The proprietary activities, investments or portfolio strategies of
JPMPI and/or J.P. Morgan give rise to a conflict of interest with the transactions and strategies employed
by JPMPI on behalf of its clients and affect the prices and availability of the investment opportunities in
which JPMPI invests on behalf of its clients. Further, JPMPI is not required to purchase or sell for any client
account securities that it, J.P. Morgan, and any of their employees, principals or agents may purchase or
sell for their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI or J.P. Morgan. JPMPI, J.P. Morgan, and
their respective directors, officers and employees face a conflict of interest as they will have income or other
incentives to favor their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI or J.P. Morgan.
J.P. Morgan’s Policies and Regulatory Restrictions Affecting Client Accounts
As part of a global financial services firm, JPMPI may be precluded from effecting or recommending
transactions in certain client accounts and may restrict its investment decisions and activities on behalf of
its clients due to applicable law, regulatory requirements, other conflicts of interest, information held by
JPMPI or J.P. Morgan, JPMPI’s and/or J.P. Morgan’s roles in connection with other clients and in the capital
markets, J.P. Morgan’s internal policies and/or potential reputational risk. As a result, client accounts
managed by JPMPI may be precluded from acquiring, or disposing of, certain securities or instruments at
any time. This includes the securities issued by J.P. Morgan.
In addition, potential conflicts of interest also exist when J.P. Morgan maintains certain overall investment
limitations on positions in securities or other financial instruments due to, among other things, investment
restrictions imposed upon J.P. Morgan by law, regulation, contract or internal policies. These limitations
have precluded and, in the future could preclude, JPMPI from including particular securities or financial
instruments in its portfolios, even if the securities or financial instruments would otherwise meet the
investment objectives of such portfolio. For example, there are limits on the aggregate amount of
investments by affiliated investors in certain types of securities within a particular industry group that cannot
be exceeded without additional regulatory or corporate consent. If such aggregate ownership thresholds
62
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
are reached, the ability of a client to purchase or dispose of investments, or exercise rights or undertake
business transactions, will be restricted.
Potential conflicts of interest may also arise as a result of JPMPI’s current policy to seek to manage its
clients’ accounts so that the various requirements and liabilities imposed pursuant to Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Section 16” and the “Exchange Act”, respectively) are not triggered.
Section 16 applies to, among other things, “beneficial owners” of 10% or more of any security subject to
reporting under the Exchange Act. In addition to certain reporting requirements, Section 16 also imposes
on such “beneficial owner” a requirement to disgorge of “short-swing” profits derived from the purchase and
sale or sale and purchase of the security, executed within a six-month period. JPMPI may be deemed to
be a “beneficial owner” of securities held by its advisory clients. Consequently, and given the potential
ownership level of the various accounts and funds managed by JPMPI for its clients, JPMPI may limit the
amount of, or alter the timing, of purchases of securities, in order not to trigger the foregoing requirements.
As a result, certain contemplated transactions that otherwise would have been consummated by JPMPI on
behalf of its clients may not take place, may be limited in their size or may be delayed.
Limitations on Investment Activities related to Economic or Trade Sanctions
Furthermore, J.P. Morgan has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance
with economic and trade sanctions-related obligations applicable to its activities (although such obligations
are not necessarily the same obligations that its clients may be subject to). Such economic and trade
sanctions prohibit or restrict, among other things, transactions with and the provision of services to, directly
or indirectly, certain countries, territories, entities and individuals. These economic and trade sanctions,
together with similar measurers, and the application by JPMPI of its compliance policies and procedures in
respect thereof, may restrict or limit a client’s account’s investment activities. For example, in January 2025,
a new “outbound investment” regime (the “OIR”) took effect in the U.S., which prohibits or requires
notification to the U.S. Treasury with respect to certain transactions involving the People’s Republic of China
(inclusive of Hong Kong and Macau, "China") based or owned companies that operate in specified sectors,
including semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technology, and artificial intelligence.
Compliance with such restrictions may restrict, limit, or prevent the Adviser or a client’s account from
pursuing certain investments, cause delays or other impediments with respect to consummating such
investments, require notification of such investments to government authorities, require divestment of
investments on unfavorable terms, negatively impact a client account’s ability to achieve its investment
objective or divest from certain investments, restrict participation in certain investments by certain investors,
or increase diligence and other similar costs to a client’s account. Any of these outcomes could adversely
affect a client account’s performance with respect to such investments and the account’s performance
overall. As a result of recent legislation, the scope of these provisions is likely to change, and the extent of
such changes is uncertain. The full effect of these restrictions is unclear and may be unpredictable. In
addition, China or other jurisdictions may implement countermeasures in response to these restrictions,
which could further adversely impact the value or liquidity of client accounts' investments or limit the ability
to repatriate assets.
In addition, J.P. Morgan from time to time subscribes to or otherwise elects to become subject to investment
policies on a firm-wide basis, including policies relating to environmental, social and corporate governance.
JPMPI may also limit transactions and activities for reputational or other reasons, including (i) when J.P.
63
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
Morgan provides or may provide advice or services to an entity involved in such activity or transaction, (ii)
when J.P. Morgan or a client is or may be engaged in the same or a related activity or transaction to that
being considered on behalf of the client account, (iii) when J.P. Morgan or a client account has an interest
in an entity involved in such activity or transaction, or (iv) when such activity or transaction on behalf of or
in respect of the client account could affect J.P. Morgan, JPMPI, their clients or their activities. J.P. Morgan
may also become subject to additional restrictions on its business activities that could have an impact on
client accounts’ activities. In addition, JPMPI could restrict its investment decisions and activities on behalf
of particular client accounts and not other accounts.
D. Conflicts of Interest Created by Contemporaneous Trading
Conflicts Related to the Advising of Multiple Accounts
Certain portfolio managers of JPMPI manage or advise multiple client accounts, investment vehicles or
portfolios. These portfolio managers are not required to devote all or any specific portion of their working
time to specific client accounts or investment vehicles. Conflicts of interest do arise in allocating
management time, services or functions among such clients, including clients that may have the same or
similar type of investment strategies. JPMPI addresses these conflicts by disclosing them to clients and
through its supervision of portfolio managers and their teams. Responsibility for managing JPMPI’s client
accounts is organized according to investment strategies within asset classes. Generally, client accounts
with similar strategies are managed by portfolio managers in the same portfolio management team using
the same or similar objectives, approach and philosophy. Therefore, client account holdings, relative
position sizes, and industry and sector exposures generally tend to be similar across client accounts with
similar strategies. However, JPMPI faces conflicts of interest when JPMPI’s portfolio managers manage
accounts or portfolios with similar investment objectives and strategies. For example, investment
opportunities that are potentially appropriate for certain clients may also be appropriate for other groups of
clients including clients of J.P. Morgan, other affiliated investment advisers, and related persons, and as a
result client accounts may have to compete for positions. There is no specific limit on the number of
accounts which may be managed or advised by JPMPI or its related persons. Once held by a client account,
certain investments compete with other investments held by other client accounts of JPMPI and its related
persons. The conflict associated with managing assets on behalf of different clients that compete with each
other are heightened when JPMPI who retains certain management, control or consent rights over such
assets. JPMPI has controls in place to monitor and mitigate these potential conflicts of interest.
Also it is JPMPI’s policy, to the extent practicable, to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment
opportunities among clients over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis. One or more of JPMPI’s
other client accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of, or otherwise deal with
positions in investments in which another client account may have an interest. For instance, due to
differences in investment strategies, JPMPI might sell a security for a client at the same time that it might
hold or purchase the same security for a different client.
Positions taken by a certain client account or the account of clients of affiliates for whom JPMPI executed
trades can also dilute or otherwise negatively affect the values, prices or investment strategies associated
with positions held by a different client account. For example, this can occur when investment decisions
for one client are based on research or other information that is also used to support portfolio decisions by
64
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
JPMPI or an affiliate for a different client following the same, similar, or different investment strategies or by
an affiliate of JPMPI in managing its clients’ accounts. When a portfolio decision or strategy is implemented
for an account ahead of, or contemporaneously with, similar portfolio decisions or strategies for JPMPI or
an affiliate's other client (whether or not the portfolio decisions emanate from the same research analysis
or other information), market impact, liquidity constraints or other factors could result in one account being
disadvantaged or receiving less favorable investment results than the other account, and the costs of
implementing such portfolio decisions or strategies could be increased.
In addition, it could be perceived as a conflict of interest when activity in one account closely correlates with
the activity in a similar account, such as when a purchase by one account increases the value of the same
securities previously purchased by another account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price
received in a sale by a second account. Furthermore, if JPMPI or an affiliate manages accounts that
engage in short sales of securities in which other accounts invest, JPMPI or its affiliate could be seen as
harming the performance of one account for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the short
sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.
Potential conflicts of interest also arise involving both the aggregation of trade orders and allocation of
securities transactions or investment opportunities. Allocations of aggregated trades and allocation of
investment opportunities raise a potential conflict of interest because JPMPI has an incentive to allocate
trades or investment opportunities to certain accounts or funds. JPMPI has established policies,
procedures and practices to manage the conflicts described above to assure that accounts are treated
equitably and fairly over time. Refer to Item 12 below for more information.
ITEM 12
Brokerage Practices
A.
Factors Considered in Selecting or Recommending Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
In connection with portfolio transactions for Funds for which JPMPI has discretion to select broker-dealers
(as applicable), the overriding objective is to obtain the best execution of purchase and sales orders. In
making decisions about best execution, JPMPI considers some of the factors below, including:
• The execution venues available for such instruments
• Price, costs and commission rates charged
• Speed of execution or priority placed upon an order by the portfolio manager or client
• Likelihood of execution and settlement
• Relative size of the order
• Consistent quality of overall service from the counterparty
When assessing the relative importance of these factors, JPMPI will also consider the characteristics of the
client, the client’s order, and the financial instruments that are subject of the order and the execution venues
to which that order can be directed.

1.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
For securities in certain IDFs, JPMPI sends trade instructions to the JPMIM trading desk. JPMPI receives
certain benefits from JPMIM’s soft dollar arrangements, as described below. The following discussion is
based on JPMIM’s discussion of its arrangements in its Form ADV Part 2A.
JPMIM’s primary objective in broker-dealer selection is to comply with its duty to seek best execution of
orders for clients. Best execution does not necessarily mean the lowest commission or price, but involves
consideration of a number of factors.
Subject to JPMIM’s best execution policy, JPMIM uses a portion of the commissions generated when
executing client transactions to acquire external research and brokerage services ("soft dollar benefits")
in a manner consistent with the "safe harbor" requirements of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. The products and services obtained from use of client commission qualify as permissible under
the “safe harbor” of Section 28(e).
As permitted under the Section 28(e) safe harbor, as it has been interpreted by the SEC, JPMIM may utilize
client’s equity trading commissions to purchase eligible brokerage and research services where those
services provide lawful and appropriate assistance in the decision-making process, and the amount of the
client commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the products or services provided by the broker-
dealer. While JPMIM generally seeks the most favorable price in placing its orders, an account may not
always pay the lowest price available, but generally orders are executed within a competitive range. JPMIM
will review commission rates within each market to determine whether they remain competitive. JPMIM
may select brokers who charge a higher commission than other brokers, if JPMIM determines in good faith
that the commission is reasonable in relation to the services provided. On a semi-annual basis, JPMIM
utilizes a defined framework which compares and assesses the value of the research received from
research providers (both traditional brokers and independent research providers).
In general, JPMIM’s soft dollar arrangements relate to its equity trading. JPMIM does not currently have
any soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers for fixed income transactions.
Client Commission Sharing Arrangements
JPMIM makes payments for permissible soft dollar benefits for accounts not considered in scope of Markets
in Financial Instruments Directive II either via a portion of the commission paid to the executing broker, or
through client commission sharing arrangements (“CCSAs”). CCSAs enable JPMIM to effect transactions,
subject to best execution, through brokers who agree to allocate a portion of eligible commissions into a
pool that can be used to pay for research from those brokers and providers with which JPMIM does not
have a brokerage relationship.
Often the research obtained with CCSA credits is third-party research (i.e., research not produced by the
executing broker). However, JPMIM may allocate a portion of the CCSA credits to the value that it assigns
to the executing broker’s proprietary research, where the broker does not assign a hard dollar value to the
research it provides, but rather bundles the cost of such research into the commission structure. In the
event of a broker-dealer’s default or bankruptcy, CCSA credits may become unavailable for the benefits
66
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
described above. Clients that elect not to participate in CCSAs generally pay the same commission rate as
the accounts participating in the program, however no portion of their commissions are credited to the
CCSA research pool at the executing broker-dealer.
Participating in CCSAs enables JPMIM to consolidate payments for brokerage and research services
through one or more channels using accumulated client commissions or credits from transactions executed
through a particular broker-dealer to obtain brokerage and research services provided by other firms. Such
arrangements also help to ensure the continued receipt of brokerage and research services while facilitating
JPMIM’s ability to seek best execution in the trading process. JPMIM believes CCSAs are useful in its
investment decision-making process by, among other things, ensuring access to a variety of high quality
research, individual analysts, and resources that JPMIM might not otherwise be provided absent such
arrangements.
When JPMIM uses client brokerage commissions to obtain research or brokerage services, JPMIM (and
indirectly, JPMPI) receives a benefit because it does not have to produce or pay for the research or
brokerage services itself. As a result, JPMIM has an incentive to select a particular broker-dealer in order
to obtain the research, CCSA payments or brokerage services from that broker-dealer, rather than to obtain
the lowest price for execution. Where applicable, JPMIM has established a separation of the trade
execution decision from the selection of research providers through CCSAs.
Allocation of Soft Dollar Benefits
JPMIM allocates soft dollar benefits to its affiliates, including JPMPI, for trades executed on behalf of
affiliated entities. The research obtained via soft dollars may be used to benefit any of clients of JPMPI,
JPMIM or any of their affiliates, not only for the client accounts that generated the credits. Additionally, the
research is not generally allocated to client accounts proportionately to the soft dollar credits that the
accounts generate. Also, JPMPI or JPMIM may share research reports, including those that have been
obtained as soft dollar benefits, with related persons.
Products and Services Acquired with Client Brokerage Commissions
The types of products and services that JPMIM, including JPMPI, acquired with client brokerage
commissions during the last fiscal year included: research analysis, reports and data concerning issuers,
industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, economic, market and financial data;
accounting and legal analysis; and other services relating to effecting securities transactions and functions
incident thereto. Research may be provided via written reports, electronic systems, telephone calls or in-
person meetings. The products and services obtained from use of client commission qualify as permissible
under the "safe harbor" of Section 28(e). JPMPI does not use client commissions to purchase quotation
services, or computer hardware/software, even though these may be permitted in some jurisdictions.
When JPMPI obtains research services through soft dollars , JPMPI receives a benefit because JPMPI
does not have to produce or pay for the research itself. Research may be used to service any or all clients,
including clients that do not pay commissions to the broker-dealer relating to the brokerage and research
arrangements. As a result, brokerage and research services may disproportionately benefit some clients
relative to others based on the relative amount of commissions paid by the clients. For example, research
paid for through one client’s commissions may not be used in managing that client’s account, but may be
67
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
used in managing other client accounts. In this connection, brokerage and research services obtained
through commissions paid by a client or clients whose accounts are managed by a particular portfolio
management team within JPMPI may be shared freely with, and used partially or exclusively by, other
portfolio management personnel within JPMPI, or by portfolio management personnel of JPMPI’s affiliates.
JPMPI does not attempt to allocate soft dollar benefits proportionately among clients or to track the benefits
of brokerage and research services to the commissions associated with a particular client or group of
clients. On a semi-annual basis, an internal committee reviews the usage of soft dollars.
2.
Brokerage for Client Referrals.
JPMPI does not select broker-dealers in order to receive client referrals.
3.
Directed Brokerage.
JPMPI does not have any directed brokerage arrangements. If it were to engage in such arrangements,
there is no assurance that best execution could be achieved.
B.
Order Aggregation
JPMPI generally aggregates contemporaneous purchase or sale orders of the same security across
multiple client accounts (the “Participating Accounts”). Pursuant to JPMPI’s trade aggregation and
allocation policies and procedures, JPMPI determines the appropriate facts and circumstances under which
it will aggregate trade orders depending on the particular asset class, investment strategy or type of security
or instrument and timing of order flow and execution. It then will seek to allocate the order fairly and
equitably across platforms, products, strategies within one product, and across accounts, generally on a
pro-rata basis.
When Participating Accounts’ orders are aggregated, the orders will be placed with JPMIM or if best
execution can be achieved by executing away it will be placed with one or more broker-dealers or other
counterparties for execution. When an order or block trade is not completely filled in one trade and the
order is filled at several different prices, JPMPI generally allocates the securities or other instruments
purchased or the proceeds of any sale pro-rata, subject to odd lots, rounding and market practice, among
the Participating Accounts, based on such accounts’ relative size.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, purchases of underlying hedge funds are allocated among Participating
Accounts in accordance with the timestamps of the order submissions so that investment opportunities are
allocated among these accounts fairly and equitably over time. There are exceptions to this process where
certain discretionary accounts may be given priority to limited capacity hedge funds over brokerage orders.
Furthermore, the Vintage Funds and other managed accounts advised by JPMPI are given priority for
private equity fund investments, but are otherwise allocated among Participating Accounts on a pro-rata
basis as described above.
JPMPI and its Affiliates Limitations on Trade Orders
JPMPI portfolio managers may be placing trades in specific securities at the same time as other J.P. Morgan
clients are trading in those securities (including certain clients of JPMCB and JPMIM). Additionally, when
68
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
certain IDFs, ISS Fund and Access Multi-Strategy Funds invest in open-end mutual funds or ETFs, if JPMPI
redeems a large position in one together with JPMCB, certain mutual funds or ETFs may require JPMPI
and JPMCB to sell out of one in multiple transactions over the course of a long period. Therefore, JPMPI
and JPMCB can have different execution experiences. In the course of monitoring the above-noted trading
activities, JPMPI attempts to ensure that its clients are treated fairly and equitably over time compared to
other clients.
Trade Errors and Resolutions
Account errors, trade errors and other operational mistakes occasionally occur in connection with JPMPI’s
management of the Funds. JPMPI has developed policies and procedures that address the identification
and correction of such errors and generally require that errors affecting a Fund be resolved promptly and
fairly subject to the consideration set forth below. Errors can result from a variety of situations including
portfolio management (e.g., inadvertent violation of investment restriction), trading, processing or other
functions (e.g., miscommunication of information, such as wrong number of shares, wrong price, wrong
account, executing the order as a buy rather than a sell and vice versa).
The intent of the policies and procedures is to restore a Fund to the appropriate financial position as
determined in good faith by JPMPI based on what it considers reasonable in light of all relevant facts and
circumstances surrounding the error. JPMPI makes its determinations pursuant to its error policies and
procedures on a case-by-case basis, in its discretion, based on factors it considers reasonable. Relevant
facts and circumstances JPMPI considers include, among others, the nature of the service being provided
at the time of the incident; whether intervening causes, including the action or inaction of third parties,
caused or contributed to the incident; specific applicable contractual and legal restrictions and standards of
care; whether a Fund's investment objective was contravened; whether a contractual guideline was
violated; the nature and materiality of the relevant circumstances; and the materiality of any resulting losses.
Under certain circumstances JPMPI may consider whether it is possible to adequately address an error
through cancellation, correction, reallocation of losses and gains or other means.
Consistent with the applicable standard of care, JPMPI’s policies and procedures and Fund agreements
generally do not require perfect implementation of investment management decisions, trading, processing
or other functions performed by JPMPI. Therefore, not all mistakes will be considered compensable.
Imperfections in the implementation of investment decisions, quantitative strategies, financial modeling,
trade execution, cash movements, portfolio rebalancing, processing instructions or facilitation of securities
settlement, imperfection in processing corporate actions, or imperfection in the generation of cash or
holdings reports resulting in trade decisions may not constitute compensable errors, depending on the
materiality and other facts and circumstances. In addition, in managing Funds, JPMPI may establish non-
public, formal or informal internal targets, or other parameters that may be used to manage risk, manage
sub-advisers or otherwise guide decision-making, and a failure to adhere to such internal parameters will
not be considered an error.
Conflicts of Interest Related to Aggregation and Allocation
Conflicts of interest can arise with both the allocation of investment opportunities, including trading
opportunities and pricing of trading generally, and the aggregation of orders and allocation of executed
transactions specifically, because of market factors or investment restrictions imposed upon JPMPI and its
69
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
affiliates by law, regulation, contract, or internal policies. Allocations of transactions resulting from
aggregated orders, particularly orders that are only partially completed (due to limits on availability, capacity
constraints and other factors) and allocation of investment opportunities generally, would raise a conflict of
interest where JPMPI or its affiliates has an incentive to allocate investment opportunities or securities that
are expected to increase in value to favored accounts. JPMPI mitigates this conflict by using guidelines
designed by JPMPI and affiliates to allocate investment and trading opportunities among similarly situated
accounts on a fair and equitable basis over time. Initial public offerings, in particular, are frequently of very
limited availability. JPMPI and its affiliates may be perceived as causing accounts they manage to
participate in an initial public offering to increase JPMPI’s and its affiliates’ overall allocation of securities in
that offering. A conflict of interest also would arise if transactions in securities in one account closely follow
transactions in the same securities in different accounts, especially when the transactions or series of
transactions are large in relation to the securities’ trading volume and potentially have market impact, such
as when a purchase increases the value of securities previously purchased by the other accounts, or when
a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale by other accounts.
JPMPI and its affiliates have intercompany arrangements whereby one or more affiliates, including JPMCB,
share personnel for one or more purposes, including portfolio management activities for multiple funds and
affiliated entities. Any such shared personnel are subject to the policies and procedures of the applicable
affiliate when acting on its affiliate’s behalf. Any such shared personnel will have potentially conflicting
interests when playing these various roles. Such personnel splitting time and attention between one or
more JPMPI affiliates creates conflicts of interest in that the time and effort of these shared personnel will
not necessarily be devoted exclusively, or even predominately, to JPMPI. While the affected affiliates have
adopted policies, procedures or guidelines to address conflicts of interest associated with personnel
sharing, such policies, procedures or guidelines can differ and there can be no assurance that such policies,
procedures or guidelines will successfully eliminate or mitigate all such conflicts in every case.
ITEM 13
Review of Accounts
A.
Frequency and Nature of Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans
JPMPI’s portfolio managers are generally responsible for the management and periodic review of the Funds
under their supervision. JPMPI periodically reviews the Funds utilizing product-specific review processes
and supervisory personnel. Accordingly, Fund reviews differ across various product groups.
Performance reviews of portfolio manager’s Funds are conducted through various internal governance
committees. Such reviews examine portfolio adherence to investment guidelines, Fund performance, and
JPMPI’s current investment processes and practices.
The information in this Brochure does not include all the specific review features associated with each
investment strategy or applicable to a particular Fund. Fund investors are urged to ask questions regarding
JPMPI’s review process applicable to a particular strategy or investment product, to read all product-specific
disclosures, and to determine whether a particular investment strategy or type of security is suitable for
their accounts in light of their circumstances, investment objectives and financial situation.
70
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
B.
Factors Prompting Review of Client Accounts Other than a Periodic Review
In addition to periodic reviews, JPMPI performs reviews as it deems appropriate or otherwise required.
Additional reviews of accounts are triggered by compliance monitoring, industry factors, market
developments, statutory and regulatory changes, and any issues that have been identified.
C.
Content and Frequency of Account Reports to Clients
JPMPI or affiliates provide annual reports to investors in the Funds (unless a Fund is in liquidation)
containing the Fund’s audited financials for the most recent fiscal year. JPMPI’s obligations in these
respects are more fully specified in each of the limited partnership agreements, limited liability company
agreements, prospectuses or offering documents.
Fund investors receive a monthly or quarterly statement of the assets held in their account(s) that contains
a description of each asset together with capital commitment, distribution, estimated value, profit/loss and
transaction activity. In addition, investors in closed end private equity funds also receive a Partners Capital
Account Statement (“PCAP’s”) from each fund on a quarterly basis that provides details on each investors’
capital account.
ITEM 14
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A.
Economic Benefits for Providing Services to Clients
No person who is not a client provides an economic benefit to JPMPI for providing investment advice or
other advisory services to JPMPI’s clients. Notwithstanding the forgoing and subject to compliance with
applicable law, JPMPI and/or its affiliates derives ancillary benefits from providing investment advisory
services to clients. For example, providing such advisory services to clients generally helps JPMPI enhance
its relationships with various parties and facilitate additional business development, and also enables
JPMPI and its related persons to obtain additional business and generate additional revenue. In addition,
J.P. Morgan derives ancillary benefits from certain decisions made by JPMPI on behalf of clients. J.P.
Morgan may receive administrative, servicing and other fees for providing services to both J.P. Morgan
affiliated funds and third-party funds that are held in the client’s portfolio. While JPMPI makes decisions for
its clients in accordance with its obligations to manage the assets in the best interests of its clients, the
fees, allocations, compensation, and other benefits to J.P. Morgan arising from those decisions may be
greater as a result of certain investment or other decisions made by JPMPI on behalf of its clients than they
would have been had other decisions been made which also might have been appropriate for the clients.
The Code of Conduct does not permit employees to accept anything of value personally in connection with
the business of the firm. Subject to strictly enforced compliance policies, in limited circumstances
exceptions will be made for certain nominal non-cash gifts, meals, refreshments and entertainment provided
in the course of a host-attended business-related meeting or other occasion.
71
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
B.
Compensation to Non-Supervised Persons for Client Referrals
Neither JPMPI nor any related person of JPMPI directly or indirectly compensates any person who is not
its supervised person for client referrals. Fund investors may be required to compensate affiliates of JPMPI
to the extent such affiliates act as placement agents for the Fund. Such compensation to be paid will
generally consist of an upfront cash payment of an origination fee directly to the placement agent or a
placement fee which will be added to a prospective investor’s purchase amount, although other methods
of computation may be used.
ITEM 15
Custody
JPMPI generally does not maintain physical custody of Private Fund assets. Private Fund cash and
securities (other than privately-placed, uncertificated securities) are typically held by a qualified custodian
pursuant to a separate agreement, which includes certain affiliates of JPMPI. However, pursuant to Rule
206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act, JPMPI may be deemed to have custody of Private Fund assets under
certain circumstances.
JPMPI is deemed to have custody of the assets of any Private Fund for which it also serves as general
partner, manager, or equivalent or when a JPMPI affiliate serves as a qualified custodian. Investors in each
such Private Fund (unless a Private Fund is in liquidation) will receive financial statements of the Private
Fund, audited by an independent public accounting firm, at least annually, as well as periodic investor
statements. Upon receipt, investors should carefully review the statements.
JPMPI does not maintain physical custody of a RIC’s assets. The RICs are subject to Section 17(f) of the
Investment Company Act and its rules that generally requires that a RIC’s securities and investments be
maintained with a qualified custodian. The assets of the Access Multi-Strategy Funds and the Six Circles
Funds are held by independent third-party qualified custodians. The Boards of the RICs are charged with
appointing the qualified custodian for the RICs’ assets.
ITEM 16
Investment Discretion
JPMPI provides discretionary investment management services for the Funds. JPMPI provides such
discretionary investment management services through an investment advisory agreement with the Fund
or a sub-advisory agreement with the Fund’s investment adviser, which grants JPMPI the authority to
manage the Fund accounts. Before JPMPI assumes this authority, the investment advisory agreement must
be executed by JPMPI and the Fund (or by JPMPI and the investment adviser in the case of a sub-advisory
agreement). Limitations on this discretionary authority are placed via the investment advisory or sub-
advisory agreement, as well as the Fund’s prospectus/offering memorandum, which sets forth the
investment strategies and parameters that JPMPI will pursue for the Fund.

ITEM 17
Voting Client Securities
A.
Policies and Procedures Relating to Voting Client Securities
If JPMPI has been appointed as discretionary investment manager for a fund and has not delegated its
investment management authority to another investment manager, the agreement between JPMPI and the
fund will usually grant JPMPI the authority to vote the proxies of the securities held in the fund. As a
fiduciary, JPMPI must act in the best interest of the fund including with respect to proxy voting activities.
Private Equity and Hedge Funds
For Private Equity and Hedge Funds for which JPMPI acts as investment adviser, JPMPI currently does
not invest, nor does it foresee investing, client assets in securities that carry voting rights. In most cases,
Private Equity and Hedge Funds do not issue proxies. Instead, they often solicit consents from their limited
partners, members, or shareholders. In the unlikely situation where JPMPI has the opportunity to – or is
required to – vote proxies on behalf of a fund, JPMPI will decide how to exercise such vote or consent by
reference to their fiduciary obligations to the fund, including seeking to maximize the value of such holding
in a manner consistent with the fund’s investment objective and acting in the fund’s best interest. In the
event that JPMPI votes proxies for funds on a more regular basis, JPMPI will adopt additional proxy policies
and procedures, as appropriate. JPMPI may refrain from voting or providing consent where it believes that
abstaining from voting would be in the best interests of the relevant fund.
Mutual Fund and ETFs
With respect to the mutual fund or ETF investments held by IDFs and Access Multi-Strategy Funds, JPMPI
utilizes an independent service provider for purposes of voting proxies (“Proxy Service”) and has
authorized the Proxy Service to vote proxies for any securities and other property in Funds in accordance
with the Proxy Service’s proxy voting guidelines in effect from time to time. The Proxy Service may assist
in the implementation and administration of certain proxy voting-related functions including operational,
recordkeeping and reporting services.
Six Circles
Proxy voting authority with respect to portfolio securities of each Six Circles Fund has been delegated to
JPMPI, which in turn has delegated such authority to the sub-advisers of the respective Six Circles
Funds. For more information on proxy voting, including a summary of each sub-adviser’s proxy voting
policy, see the “Proxy Voting Procedures and Guidelines” section and appropriate Appendix in Part II of
relevant Six Circles Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
73
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
ISS Fund
JPMPI is not responsible for voting the proxies of securities held in separately managed account strategies,
including model delivery strategies, or for mutual funds. For separately managed account strategies, the
investment manager of the strategy is responsible for voting the proxies of the securities and for J.P. Morgan
mutual funds, proxy voting is delegated to a 3rd party provider.
Mitigating Potential Conflicts
As a general matter, each of the JPMC’s lines of business is required to take appropriate steps to identify
actual, potential, and perceived conflict risks that arise while carrying out its business. Conflicts can arise
with proxy voting, and must be managed in line with JPMC policy. Additionally, to maintain the integrity and
independence of JPMPI’s investment processes and decisions, including proxy voting decisions, JPMC has
adopted a policy pertaining to safeguarding information and established formal informational barriers.
Information barriers include, where appropriate: information system firewalls; the establishment of separate
legal entities; physical separation of employees from separate business divisions; and written policies and
procedures designed to limit the sharing of MNPI and confidential information. The barriers are designed
to limit influence and restrict the flow of information between JPMC’s securities, lending, investment
banking, and other divisions and investment professionals and to mitigate potential conflicts of interest.
Generally, proxies will be voted by an independent third party Proxy Service in accordance with the Proxy
Service’s proxy voting guidelines or if applicable, voted by a Fund’s sub-adviser(s).
Clients may obtain a copy of the relevant Proxy Voting Guidelines and information about how proxies were
voted by contacting their client service representative or financial advisor.
ITEM 18
Financial Information
JPMPI is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its
contractual commitments to clients, nor has JPMPI been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time
during the past ten years.

Advisory Business
A.
General Description of Advisory Firm
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI”), a Delaware corporation, is a registered investment adviser that
provides advisory services to open-end and closed-end Registered Investment Companies (“RICs”) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”); provides investment advice and/or
administrative functions for private investment funds organized as limited partnerships, limited liability companies,
or offshore companies (“Private Funds”); and provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment
management services in various wrap fee programs offered through an affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
(“JPMS”). The JPMS legal entity offers investment advisory services through several separate sales channels.
Similar wrap fee programs that offer the same and similar investment strategies are offered in different sales
channels and at different fee levels with different features and different execution experiences. The sales
channels are identified by the title of the J.P. Morgan representative(s) responsible for the client relationship— in
the first, representatives are referred to as “Wealth Advisors” or “Wealth Partners”; in the second, they are
referred to as “Private Client Advisors”; and in the third, they are referred to as “Financial Advisors.” Certain
advisory products may also be offered to clients of J.P. Morgan Private Bank. JPMS offers a variety of investment
advisory services and brokerage offerings as detailed in its Brochures.
For the JPMS advisory and wrap fee programs, JPMPI acts as a (i) sub-adviser and overlay manager to JPMS’
J.P. Morgan Core Advisory Portfolio program (“JPMCAP”) and Chase Strategic Portfolio program (“CSP”); (ii)
portfolio manager of certain strategies offered through JPMS’ Advisory Program (the “Advisory Program”); (iii)
portfolio manager of strategies offered through JPMS’ Strategic Investment Services program (“STRATIS”); (iv)
sub-adviser and implementation manager to J.P. Morgan Personal Advisors Program (“Personal Advisors
Program”); (v) non-discretionary sub-adviser for JPMS’ Mutual Fund Advisory Portfolio program (“MFAP”); and
(vi) non-discretionary sub-adviser for JPMS’ J.P. Morgan Guided Annuity Program, made available in conjunction
with J.P. Morgan Multi-Asset Choice variable annuity contracts issued by a third-party insurance company (the
advisory program referred to herein as “JPMGAP”). In addition, JPMPI provides certain Fund and SMA/Model
Manager research services with respect to certain strategies offered by JPMS. CSP, the Advisory Program and
MFAP are currently made available through Private Client Advisors and STRATIS is currently made available
through Wealth Advisors. JPMCAP and JPMGAP are currently made available through both Private Client
Advisors and Wealth Advisors. In addition, JPMGAP is available to clients of J.P. Morgan Private Bank. Personal
Advisors Program, JPMCAP and the Liquidity Management Strategy in the Advisory Program are currently made
available through Financial Advisors (collectively with Wealth Advisors and Private Client Advisors, “Advisors”).
JPMPI was incorporated on November 25, 1991. JPMPI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase &
Co., which, together with its affiliates (collectively, “J.P. Morgan” or "JPMC") is engaged in a large number of
financial businesses worldwide, including banking, asset management, securities brokerage, and investment
advisory services. As relevant to this Brochure, JPMPI is also affiliated with other entities, which are also affiliates

Description of Advisory Services
This Brochure describes the services that JPMPI provides including: (i) the discretionary portfolio management
services for JPMCAP clients, CSP clients, the Advisory Program clients, STRATIS clients and Personal Advisors
Program clients; (ii) the non-discretionary advisory services for MFAP clients and JPMGAP clients; and (iii) the
Fund and SMA/Model Manager research services with respect to certain strategies offered by JPMS. When
providing discretionary portfolio management services, JPMPI does not consider any assets owned by the client
outside of the relevant Program account, including any assets held in other accounts in the same Program.
Additional information about the services JPMPI provides to its other clients investing in (i) Private Funds and
RICs or (ii) another JPMS wrap fee program are described in separate ADV brochures, which are available at
the SEC’s website at adviserinfo.sec.gov. In addition, for more information on the Programs, refer to the
applicable JPMS Form ADV, Part 2A Appendix 1, SEC File No. 801-3702, which are available at the SEC’s
website at adviserinfo.sec.gov or from JPMS upon request.
In addition, the descriptions below of the various Programs’ investment strategies are, with respect to investments
in individual securities or separately managed accounts through a SMA/Model Manager that is an SEC-registered
investment adviser, qualified in their entirety by the information included in the applicable SMA/Model Manager’s
Form ADV, Part 2, which is available at the SEC’s website at adviserinfo.sec.gov.
The investment strategy descriptions below are not intended to serve as Fund, SMA/Model Manager, or account
guidelines. Neither JPMS, JPMPI, nor the manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates (further described
below) can ensure that a given strategy’s investment objective will be attained. Additionally, with the exception of
the Six Circles Funds (described in Item 11.B below), for which JPMPI serves as investment adviser, and Model
Managers who provide model portfolios of individual securities to JPMPI as a discretionary manager, neither
JPMS, JPMPI, nor the manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates is responsible for the performance of any
Fund or any SMA Manager, or for any Fund’s or SMA/Model Manager’s compliance with its prospectus,
disclosures, laws or regulations, or other matters within the Fund’s or SMA/Model Manager’s control. Each Fund’s
adviser and SMA/Model Manager are solely responsible for the investment strategy that they manage. JPMPI’s
role is described in Item 4 and Item 8 below.
I. JPMCAP Overview
JPMCAP is a unified managed account program managed and offered by JPMS. In JPMCAP, clients establish a
discretionary managed account that is invested in a manner consistent with one of the single-asset class
(Managed Fixed Income and Managed Equities) or multi–asset class (Conservative, Balanced, Growth and
6
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Aggressive Growth) investment strategies that JPMS makes available to clients. In addition, U.S.-focused
investment strategies for Conservative, Balanced and Growth are offered in JPMCAP.
Assets within an investment strategy are generally invested in each asset class through one or more Funds, or
through a Model Manager or SMA that includes individual securities. Depending on the investment strategy
selected, clients have the option to make certain elections including municipal fixed income (for taxable accounts),
Model Managers, Liquid Alternative Funds or non-J.P. Morgan Funds and unaffiliated Model Managers, as
described further below.
Clients can elect to include Liquid Alternative Funds, subject to certain qualifications. Refer to Item 10.D below
for information on share classes of Funds available to JPMCAP clients. Subject to certain program minimums,
clients that have elected to include Liquid Alternative Funds can also elect to have assets within an investment
strategy invested in individual securities in accordance with one or more model portfolios provided by the Model
Managers. At the present time, Model Managers are not available to clients of Wealth Advisors, though this may
change at JPMS’ discretion. For clients of Private Client Advisors, on or about April 1, 2026, JPMCAP models that
include Model Managers are closed to new accounts. Existing clients in JPMCAP models that include Model
Managers can continue to hold their accounts and add new assets.
JPMPI, as a sub-adviser of JPMCAP, determines strategic and tactical asset allocations, is responsible for security
selection (i.e., selects the Funds and SMA/Model Managers for investment) and determines portfolio construction
using its research. JPMPI, as sub-adviser of JPMCAP, from time to time may close investment strategies to new
investments. JPMS oversees the selections and remains responsible for overseeing JPMPI’s performance.
JPMPI, as overlay manager of JPMCAP, provides portfolio implementation and coordination services to JPMCAP
accounts. Services include: (1) managing the accounts on a discretionary basis by implementing instructions to
purchase, hold, or sell securities or shares of Funds; (2) continuously monitoring the account holdings and
coordinating the trading activity; (3) implementing specific reasonable restrictions requested by the client that are
placed on the client account; and (4) generally rebalancing the Program account to the allocation in a chosen
investment strategy when the asset allocation percentages deviate from established parameters.
JPMPI does not have any responsibility or liability for JPMS’ determinations that the investment strategy selected
by the client is suitable in light of the client’s investment objectives and financial situation.
In providing services to JPMS, JPMPI can rely on affiliated and unaffiliated third parties to fulfill its services as
overlay manager.
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non–J.P. Morgan Funds are available in JPMCAP. Currently, a substantial portion
of the assets in JPMCAP are invested, or expected to be invested, in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. Unaffiliated
and affiliated Model Managers can be evaluated and selected for JPMCAP accounts. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more
information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and affiliated Model Managers.

Description of Investment Strategies
The investment strategy for a particular client is based on the client’s discussion with JPMS and the client’s risk
tolerance. The investment strategies available in JPMCAP are Conservative, Balanced, Growth, Aggressive
Growth, Managed Fixed Income and Managed Equities. In addition, U.S. focused investment strategies for
Conservative, Balanced and Growth are offered in JPMCAP. The Balanced ESG investment strategy primarily
consists of Funds or other investments that consider environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors and/or
focus on sustainable themes. The Conservative, Balanced, and Growth investment strategies described below
are available for clients, regardless of whether they are eligible to include or have elected to include Liquid
Alternative Funds or other securities through Model Managers in their accounts, as applicable. The Aggressive
Growth investment strategy is only available to those clients who are eligible for and have elected to include Liquid
Alternative Funds in their accounts. Liquid Alternative Funds are not available in the Managed Equities or
Managed Fixed Income investment strategies.
US Endowments & Foundations (“E&F”) is designed to primarily service the investment goals of nonprofit entities
(i.e. endowments and foundations). This investment strategy is made available to clients of Private Client Advisors
and Wealth Advisors and is appropriate for a Growth investment strategy. The endowment investing approach is
generally characterized by a longer-term investment horizon. A long-term investment mindset can allow a client
to look through the short-term volatility and focus on the potential of enhancing long-term returns.
Below is a description of each JPMCAP investment strategy. For the related risks of each JPMCAP investment
strategy, refer to Item 8 below.
Conservative
The Conservative investment strategy seeks to primarily preserve capital investments and generate income with
a secondary goal to achieve moderate levels of capital growth. The investment strategy also aims to maintain
below-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with these objectives,
a majority of the investment strategy expects to be invested in assets that tend to have a history of lower capital
returns and volatility such as fixed income. Additionally, to achieve a return objective that includes capital growth,
this investment strategy also expects to include investments in historically more volatile securities such as
equities, unlike an objective focused on capital preservation alone.
Balanced
The Balanced investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments and income
generation with a secondary goal of principal preservation. The investment strategy also aims to maintain
moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with these objectives, this
8
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
investment strategy expects to invest in assets that tend to have a history of lower capital returns and volatility
such as fixed income, and those with a more volatile history and upside return potential such as equities.
Growth
The Growth investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments. The investment
strategy also aims to maintain above-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective.
Consistent with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest predominantly in assets that tend to
have a history of higher upside return potential and volatility such as equities, with a lower percentage invested
in historically less volatile securities such as fixed income.
Aggressive Growth
The Aggressive Growth investment strategy seeks to first and foremost achieve growth of capital investments.
The investment strategy will generally maintain high exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return
objective. Consistent with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest predominantly in assets
that tend to have a history of higher upside return potential and volatility, such as equities.
Managed Fixed Income
The Managed Fixed Income investment strategy seeks to generate total return through growth of capital
investments and income generation. The investment strategy also aims to maintain moderate exposure to risk of
capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with these objectives, this investment strategy expects
to invest in fixed income assets, cash and cash equivalents.
Managed Equities
The Managed Equities investment strategy seeks to first and foremost achieve growth of capital investments.
The investment strategy will maintain high exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective.
Consistent with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest solely in equities, which tend to have
a history of higher upside return potential and higher volatility. The investment strategy may also maintain
exposure to cash or cash equivalents.
U.S. Focused Models
U.S. Focused investment strategies for Conservative, Balanced and Growth are available to clients in JPMCAP.
U.S. Focused investment strategies seek to primarily invest in the United States.
Balanced ESG
The Balanced ESG investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments and income
generation, with a secondary goal of principal preservation, by primarily investing in funds, strategies and other
investments that consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their investment process
and/or focus on sustainable themes. The investment strategy aims to maintain moderate exposure to risk of
capital loss in pursuit of this objective. Consistent with its balanced approach, this investment strategy expects
9
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
to invest in assets that have upside return potential but tend to have a more volatile return history, such as
equities, as well as assets that tend to have a history of lower capital returns and less volatility, such as fixed
income.
US Endowments & Foundations
The US Endowments & Foundations strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments. The US
Endowments & Foundations strategy also aims to maintain above-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in
pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with these objectives, the US Endowments & Foundations strategy
expects to invest predominantly in assets that tend to have a history of higher upside return potential and volatility
such as equities and alternative assets, with a lower percentage invested in historically less volatile securities
such as fixed income.
The endowment investing approach is generally characterized by a longer-term investment horizon. A long-term
investment mindset can allow a client to look through the short-term volatility and focus on the potential of
enhancing long-term returns.
Municipal Fixed income (for taxable accounts)
For taxable (non-retirement) accounts, clients can elect to substitute tax-aware investments for certain equities
or municipal investment for some fixed income options.
Index Oriented Vehicles
On or about April 1, 2024, the election to have an account implemented using Index Oriented Vehicles closed to
new investors. Existing clients can continue to use their election and add new assets. JPMS, in its discretion, may
allow for existing client assets to be retitled and to be implemented using Index Oriented Vehicles. If clients change
their investment strategy or elect to use Liquid Alternative Funds, or other securities through Model Managers,
the availability of this election for Index Oriented Vehicles may change.
JPMPI prefers to follow an investment process that maintains the option of using a range of active and passive
vehicles, some of which are Index Oriented Vehicles (as defined below) and some which are not. JPMCAP in the
past offered certain clients the option to implement certain account investment strategies using an Index Oriented
Vehicle election, as described below.
JPMCAP Index Oriented Vehicles (“Passively Managed Vehicles”) include ETFs and index mutual funds, and
“Actively Managed Vehicles” include mutual funds, separately managed accounts, and investments in other
securities through Model Managers. Actively Managed Vehicles typically charge higher management fees than
Passively Managed Vehicles.
In determining whether a particular Actively Managed Vehicle or Passively Managed Vehicle may be considered
an “Index Oriented Vehicle,” JPMPI will, using due diligence evaluation, consider, among other things, how
closely the vehicle’s historical returns track the index JPMPI is targeting for the relevant asset class as well as the
10
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
cost, liquidity, and complexity and potential tax efficiency of the vehicle’s strategy. The determination of whether
a vehicle is an Index Oriented Vehicle is in JPMPI’s sole discretion, is subject to change, and does not guarantee
that Index Oriented Vehicles will perform in line with, or in excess of, the underlying index. The election does not
apply to cash and liquidity Funds.
Clients who selected the Conservative, Balanced, or Growth investment strategies and who did not elect to include
Liquid Alternative Funds or other securities through Model Managers, could have elected to use Index Oriented
Vehicles in their accounts for asset classes other than cash and liquidity Funds.
The election to have an account implemented using Index Oriented Vehicles was not available for accounts
invested in Aggressive Growth, Managed Fixed Income or Managed Equities investment strategies. This election
directs JPMPI to use Passively Managed Vehicles except when, in JPMPI’s judgment, active management is
expected to closely reflect an underlying index and either (i) better reflects the overall characteristics of the
underlying asset class or market segment, or (ii) is necessary to implement the client’s instructions.
Clients who elected to have their accounts implemented using Index Oriented Vehicles had to also elect having
their accounts implemented using non-J.P. Morgan Funds and unaffiliated Model Managers, as defined and
further described below.
Currently, clients that selected the Index Oriented Vehicle election will not be invested in any J.P. Morgan Affiliated
Funds (except for J.P. Morgan sweep vehicles; refer to “Clients’ Investments in Deposit Account” below for more
detail) or affiliated Model Managers.
If the client made an election for Index Oriented Vehicles for an existing JPMCAP account, sales of Funds could
be subject to redemption fees. There can be a period of time during which non–Index Oriented Vehicles remain
in a client’s account.
When clients elected to implement their JPMCAP accounts using Index Oriented Vehicles, it could affect JPMPI’s
ability to make investments, access asset classes, or take advantage of opportunities that are available to clients
that do not make that election. As a result, performance of an account with an election will differ from the
performance of other accounts without an election.
Liquid Alternative Funds
Liquid Alternative Funds are available to accounts depending on the investment strategy and assets available in
the account (generally accounts with an investment balance of at least $250,000).
Model Managers
When a client elects to use Model Managers, the opportunities available to such client differs from the
opportunities available to clients who do not use Model Managers. As a result, performance of an account with
11
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
this election can differ from the performance of other accounts without this election. Due to this election, the asset
allocation in these models may be different from the asset allocation in those models without this election.
Non-J.P. Morgan Funds and Unaffiliated Model Managers
As described in “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest”
in Item 11.B below, JPMPI prefers J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and affiliated Model Managers. Clients can elect
to exclude from their JPMCAP accounts J.P. Morgan managed strategies and affiliated Model Managers (except
for J.P. Morgan sweep vehicles) including J.P. Morgan managed strategies where a party other than J.P. Morgan
is appointed investment adviser (“Non-Proprietary Strategy Election”). The Non-Proprietary Strategy Election
excludes from JPMCAP accounts J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds (except J.P. Morgan sweep vehicles) and affiliated
Model Managers.
Currently, the Non-Proprietary Strategy Election is available for all JPMCAP investment strategies, including
where clients are eligible for and have elected to include Liquid Alternative Funds or other securities through
Model Managers in their accounts. It is possible that the availability of this election will change in the future.
When a client elects to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies, it can affect JPMPI’s ability to make investments,
access asset classes, or take advantage of opportunities that are available to clients who do not make the Non-
Proprietary Strategy Election. As a result, performance of an account with an election can differ from the
performance of other accounts without an election.
To the extent a client holds J.P. Morgan managed investments in an existing JPMCAP account at the time of
making the Non-Proprietary Strategy Election, sales of Funds can be subject to redemption fees.
Transition Models
Certain affiliated investment accounts at JPMCB that transferred into JPMS retained their asset allocation models
(“Legacy Models/Strategies”). To reduce certain tax consequences, JPMPI made available additional models
(“Transition Models”) for clients requesting to change their investment strategy from Legacy Models/Strategies.
Transition Models are based on similar investment strategies as other JPMCAP models. Certain portfolio holdings
for Transition Models differ from the corresponding JPMCAP models. Transition Models are not available to new
Program accounts. When accounts in transition models align with core JPMCAP models, they may be moved to
the corresponding core JPMCAP model.
II. CSP Overview
CSP is a unified managed account program managed and offered by JPMS. In CSP, the client establishes a
discretionary managed account that is invested in a manner consistent with one of the multi-asset class
(Conservative, Moderate, Moderate Growth, Growth, Aggressive Growth and Fixed Income Focused) investment
strategies JPMS makes available to clients. Assets within an investment strategy are generally invested in each
asset class through one or more open-end Funds or through a Model Manager or SMA that includes individual
12
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
securities. Clients have the option to make certain elections including municipal fixed income (for taxable
accounts), Liquid Alternative Funds, Model Managers or non-J.P. Morgan Funds and unaffiliated Model Managers,
as described further below.
JPMPI, as a sub-adviser of CSP, determines strategic and tactical asset allocations, is responsible for securities
selections (i.e. selects the Funds and SMA/Model Managers for investment) and determines portfolio construction
using its research. JPMS oversees the selections and remains responsible for overseeing the JPMPI’s
performance
JPMPI, as overlay manager of CSP, provides portfolio implementation and coordination services to CSP accounts.
Services include: (1) managing the accounts on a discretionary basis by implementing instructions to purchase,
hold, or sell securities or shares of Funds; (2) continuously monitoring the account holdings and coordinating the
trading activity; (3) implementing specific reasonable restrictions requested by the client that are placed on the
client account; and (4) generally rebalancing the Program account to the allocation in a chosen investment
strategy when the asset allocation percentages deviate from established parameters.
JPMPI does not have any responsibility or liability for JPMS’ determinations that the investment strategy selected
by the client is suitable in light of the client’s investment objectives and financial situation.
In providing services to JPMS, JPMPI can rely on affiliated and unaffiliated third parties to fulfill its services as
overlay manager.
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non-J.P. Morgan Funds are available in CSP. Currently, a substantial portion of
the assets in CSP are invested, or expected to be invested in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. JPMIM is the only
SMA or Model Manager, and no unaffiliated Model Managers have been evaluated or selected for inclusion in
CSP. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest”
in Item 11.B below for more information. The Form ADV Part 2A for JPMIM is available at the SEC’s website at
adviserinfo.sec.gov. CSP is generally closed to new accounts; however, existing CSP clients may add new assets.
Refer to “Oversight of JPMPI by JPMS” below for more information on the oversight of JPMPI as sub-adviser for
CSP by JPMS.
Description of Investment Strategies
The investment strategy for a particular client is based on the client’s discussion with JPMS and the client’s risk
tolerance. The investment strategies available in CSP are Conservative, Moderate, Moderate Growth, Growth,
Aggressive Growth and Fixed Income Focused.
Below is a description of each CSP investment strategy. For the related risks of each CSP investment strategy,
refer to Item 8 below.

March 27, 2026
Conservative
The Conservative investment strategy seeks to primarily preserve capital investments and generate income with
a secondary goal to achieve moderate levels of capital growth. The investment strategy also aims to maintain
below-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with these objectives,
a majority of the investment strategy expects to be invested in assets that tend to have a history of lower capital
returns and volatility such as fixed income. Additionally, to achieve a return objective that includes capital growth,
this investment strategy also expects to include investments in historically more volatile securities such as
equities, unlike an objective focused on capital preservation alone.
Moderate
The Moderate investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve moderate levels of capital growth and income
generation with a secondary goal of principal preservation. The investment strategy also aims to maintain
moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with these objectives, this
investment strategy expects to invest in assets that tend to have a history of lower capital returns and volatility
such as fixed income, and those with a more volatile history and upside return potential such as equities.
Moderate Growth
The Moderate Growth investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments and income
generation. The investment strategy also aims to maintain moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of
this return objective. Consistent with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest in assets that
tend to have a history of lower capital returns and volatility such as fixed income, and those with a more volatile
history and upside return potential such as equities.
Growth
The Growth investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments. The investment strategy
also aims to maintain above-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent
with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest predominantly in assets that tend to have a history
of higher upside return potential and volatility such as equities, with a lower percentage invested in historically
less volatile securities such as fixed income.
Aggressive Growth
The Aggressive Growth investment strategy seeks to first and foremost achieve growth of capital investments.
The investment strategy will maintain high exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective.
Consistent with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest solely in equities, which tend to have
a history of higher upside return potential and higher volatility. The investment strategy may also maintain
exposure to cash or cash equivalents.

March 27, 2026
Fixed Income Focused
The Fixed Income Focused investment strategy seeks to preserve capital investments and generate income on
an inflation adjusted basis. The portfolio also aims to maintain low exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this
return objective. Consistent with these objectives, this portfolio expects to invest predominantly in assets that tend
to have a history of lower capital returns and volatility such as fixed income, with a lower percentage invested in
historically more volatile securities such as equities.
Municipal Fixed income (for taxable accounts)
For taxable (non-retirement) accounts, clients can elect to substitute tax-aware investments for certain equities
or municipal investment for some fixed income options.
Option to Use SMA/Model Managers
When a client elects to use SMA/Model Managers, the opportunities available to such client differs from the
opportunities available to clients who do not use SMA/Model Managers. As a result, performance of an account
with this election can differ from the performance of other accounts without this election. Due to this election, the
asset allocation in these models may be different from the asset allocation in those models without this election.
III. Advisory Program Overview
The Advisory Program provides JPMS clients with access to a select group of affiliated and unaffiliated
SMA/Model Managers, each of whom offer a specific investment strategy (equity and fixed income) and market
sector expertise. Clients select the SMA/Model Manager and investment strategy from among the SMA/Model
Managers and investment strategies made available by JPMS. Portfolio managers provide discretionary
investment management in separately managed accounts. Model Managers provide non-discretionary model
portfolios to JPMS to implement.
Based on information provided by the client, JPMS assists the client in selecting an investment strategy and a
SMA/Model Manager. JPMS (not JPMPI) is responsible for determining whether the Advisory Program, particular
investment strategies, and particular SMA/Model Managers are suitable for a particular client. JPMS requires
clients to open a separate account for each investment strategy selected.
JPMPI manages multi-manager portfolios that seek to invest in one or more Funds and/or in individual securities
following one or more model portfolios that may be provided by affiliated and/or unaffiliated Model Managers (the
“Multi-Manager Strategies”). The Multi-Manager Strategies seek to address specific investment objectives,
provide exposure to targeted asset classes, capture timely market opportunities, and/or address specific client
objectives through actively managed portfolios. These investment strategies may include a variety of marketable
securities, such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds, and may leverage the expertise of Model Managers
who provide models of securities for certain investment strategies.
15
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
JPMPI, as portfolio manager for the Multi-Manager Strategies, is responsible for securities selection (including
selecting Funds and/or Model Managers for investment) and determining portfolio construction. The portfolio
manager(s) construct portfolios and identify Funds and/or specific securities to implement investment views within
the strategies’ guidelines and consistent with its investment objectives. The portfolio manager(s) will seek to
determine their initial and ongoing portfolio positioning at an asset class, sub-asset class, sector, or sub-sector
level, in order to capture opportunities or limit risks while managing the portfolio within respective guidelines. In
making investment decisions with respect to Multi-Manager Strategies, the portfolio manager(s) are only permitted
to use approved Funds and/or model portfolios provided by Model Managers. Funds available include both J.P.
Morgan Affiliated Funds and non–J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, unaffiliated and affiliated Model Managers may
be evaluated and selected for Multi-Manager Strategy accounts. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use
of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and affiliated Model Managers. An internal governance committee provides
ongoing oversight of the Multi-Manager Strategies to review compliance with strategy-specific guidelines and
metrics.
The portfolio manager(s) may select individual securities and Funds, including Liquid Alternative Funds. Refer to
Item 8 below for more information about relevant risks of these investments.
Multi-Manager Strategies
The Multi-Manager Strategies available include the following strategies:
• The Dynamic Multi-Asset Strategy seeks total returns, with a predominant focus on capital growth and
income generation, and a secondary focus on principal preservation. The strategy invests primarily in a
wide spectrum of equity, fixed income, and liquid alternatives for opportunities with the most compelling
risk/reward, and is intended to maintain a moderate exposure to risk of capital loss, and will be managed
with flexible asset allocation parameters. The strategy will involve some risk of loss of income and capital.
• The Dynamic Yield Strategy aims to generate yield and long-term capital appreciation by investing in
multiple asset classes across global markets, with a preference toward fixed income. The strategy seeks
lower sensitivity to U.S. interest rates than core fixed income, and volatility lower than U.S. equity
markets, over a full market cycle.
• The Emerging Markets Growth and Income Strategy seeks to achieve capital appreciation by investing
primarily in multiple asset classes across a portfolio which aims to achieve emerging markets returns
while balancing risk. The strategy attempts to offer lower volatility than pure emerging markets equity by
investing across asset classes in emerging and developed markets equity, emerging markets fixed
income and cash, as well as alternatives.
• The Liquidity Management Strategy seeks to deliver income while preserving capital by investing
primarily in high-quality, short-term, fixed income funds and cash and liquidity funds.
16
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
• The Sustainable Equity Strategy 1 seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily
in equity funds with the flexibility to invest globally across sectors and capitalizations, with a preference
towards funds that consider ESG factors in their investment process and/or focus on sustainable themes.
• The Sustainable Fixed Income Strategy 2 seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income
generation by investing primarily in fixed income funds with the flexibility to invest across sectors, with a
preference towards funds that consider ESG factors into their investment process and/or focus on
sustainable themes.
• The Global Emerging Markets Strategy 3 seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing
primarily in emerging markets equity funds.
In the case of Dynamic Multi-Asset Strategy, a Multi-Manager Strategy, clients can select an investment strategy
that excludes J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds or one that may include J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. JPMS has a
conflict in recommending the Dynamic Multi-Asset Strategy investment strategy that may include J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts
of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds in Multi-Manager
Strategies.
IV. STRATIS Overview
STRATIS provides JPMS clients with access to a select group of affiliated and unaffiliated SMA/Model Managers,
each of whom offer a specific investment strategy (equity and fixed income) and market sector expertise. Clients
select the SMA/Model Manager and investment strategy from among the SMA/Model Managers and investment
strategies made available by JPMS. Portfolio managers provide discretionary investment management in SMAs.
Model Managers provide nondiscretionary model portfolios to JPMS to implement.
Based on information provided by the client, JPMS assists the client in selecting an investment strategy and a

through actively managed portfolios. These investment strategies may include a variety of marketable securities,
such as stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds, and may leverage the expertise of Model Managers who provide
models of securities for certain investment strategies. The Liquidity Management Strategy is a subgroup of Multi-
Manager Strategies and seeks to address specific fixed income investment objectives.
JPMPI, as portfolio manager for the Multi-Manager Strategies, is responsible for securities selection (including
selecting Funds and/or Model Managers for investment) and determining portfolio construction. The portfolio
manager(s) construct portfolios to implement investment views within the relevant guidelines and consistent with
its investment objective. The portfolio manager(s) will seek to determine its initial and ongoing portfolio positioning
at a sector, or sub-sector level, in order to capture opportunities or limit risks while managing the portfolio within
respective guidelines. In making investment decisions with respect to such strategies, the portfolio manager(s)
are only permitted to use approved Funds and/or model portfolios provided by Model Managers. Funds available
include both J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non–J.P. Morgan Funds. In addition, unaffiliated and affiliated
Model Managers may be evaluated and selected for the accounts. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use
of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and affiliated Model Managers. An internal governance committee provides
ongoing oversight of the relevant STRATIS strategies to review compliance with strategy-specific guidelines and
metrics. For risks related to such strategies, please refer to Item 8 below.
Please refer to Item III. Advisory Program Overview for strategy descriptions for the Multi-Manager Strategies. In
the case of Dynamic Multi-Asset Strategy, a Multi-Manager Strategy, clients can select an investment strategy
that excludes J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds or one that may include J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. JPMS has a
conflict in recommending the Dynamic Multi-Asset Strategy investment strategy that may include J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts
of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds in Multi-Manager
Strategies.
V. Personal Advisors Program Overview
Personal Advisors Program is a financial planning and discretionary managed account program managed and
offered by JPMS. In Personal Advisors Program, client assets are invested consistent with one of the multi-asset
class (Income, Conservative, Balanced, Growth and Aggressive Growth) investment strategies made available
by JPMS to clients. Assets within an investment strategy are generally invested in different asset classes through
one or more Funds and an allocation to cash. Depending on the investment strategy selected, clients have the
option to make certain elections including municipal fixed income election (for taxable accounts).
JPMPI, as a sub-adviser of Personal Advisors Program, determines strategic asset allocation for the investment
strategies, is responsible for securities selection (i.e., selects the Funds for investment) and determines portfolio
construction using its research. For this Program, JPMPI does not do ongoing tactical asset allocation for the
investment strategies.
18
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Non–J.P. Morgan Funds, as well as J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds will be considered for inclusion in the Program.
The affiliates that sponsor or manage J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds include JPMPI and JPMIM. A portion of the
assets in the Program investment strategies are expected to be invested in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. J.P.
Morgan has a financial incentive to invest Program assets in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds because it receives
more overall fees when it selects J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds rather than non-J.P. Morgan Funds. Refer to “Use
of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below
for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds.
JPMPI, as implementation manager of Personal Advisors Program, provides portfolio implementation and
coordination services to Personal Advisors Program accounts. Services include: (1) managing the accounts on a
discretionary basis by implementing instructions to purchase, hold, or sell securities or shares of Funds; (2)
continuously monitoring the account holdings and coordinating the trading activity; (3) implementing specific
reasonable restrictions requested by the client that are placed on the client account; (4) periodically rebalancing
the Program account to the allocation in a chosen investment strategy when the asset allocation percentages
deviate from established parameters and (5) conducting tax loss harvesting for certain taxable accounts in the
Program.
Refer to “Oversight of JPMPI by JPMS” below for more information on the oversight of JPMPI as sub-adviser for
Personal Advisors Program by JPMS.
Personal Advisor Program’s Tax Harvesting. Tax Harvesting (as defined below) for Personal Advisors Program
is applicable to taxable accounts in all investment strategies as determined at the sole discretion of JPMPI.
Tax Harvesting has the ability to reduce taxable income, although it will not eliminate it. JPMPI, as implementation
manager, may change Personal Advisor Program’s Tax Harvesting parameters, including the manner and
frequency of such Tax Harvesting, at any time without notice. In certain market conditions, or when portfolio
positions have not otherwise experienced capital losses during the relevant tax period, Tax Harvesting
opportunities will be limited or may not exist. JPMPI, as implementation manager, will not attempt to harvest every
tax loss that occurs in a client’s taxable accounts.
To generate potential tax losses, JPMPI, as the implementation manager, will sell positions that have experienced
a capital loss. The proceeds will generally be invested in Funds as determined by JPMPI during the “wash sale”
(i.e. 30-day) period. The investment in the Funds is designed to provide market exposure during the wash sale
period, but there is no guarantee that the proceeds that are invested in the Funds will perform the same as the
original position. The performance of the Funds and the price of such investments may be higher or lower than
the original position. Tax Harvesting generally entails a repurchase of the sold security after the wash sale period.
Description of Investment Strategies
The investment strategy for a particular client is based on the client’s discussion with JPMS and the client’s risk
tolerance. The investment strategies available in Personal Advisors Program are Income, Conservative,

Balanced, Growth and Aggressive Growth. In addition, U.S. focused investment strategies for Income,
Conservative, Balanced, Growth and Aggressive Growth are offered in Personal Advisors Program. There is also
a Balanced ESG strategy and a Growth ESG strategy available in the Personal Advisors Program, primarily
consisting of funds or other investments that consider ESG factors and/or focus on sustainable themes. Other
ESG strategies will be considered in the future. Below is a description of each Personal Advisors Program
investment strategy. For the related risks of each Personal Advisors Program investment strategy, refer to Item 8
below.
Income
The Income investment strategy seeks to preserve capital investments and generate income on an inflation
adjusted basis. The investment strategy also aims to maintain low exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this
return objective. Consistent with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest predominantly in
assets that tend to have a history of lower capital returns and volatility such as fixed income, with a lower
percentage invested in historically more volatile securities such as equities.
Conservative
The Conservative investment strategy seeks to primarily preserve capital investments and generate income with
a secondary goal to achieve moderate levels of capital growth. The investment strategy also aims to maintain
below-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with these objectives,
a majority of the investment strategy expects to be invested in assets that tend to have a history of lower capital
returns and volatility such as fixed income. Additionally, to achieve a return objective that includes capital growth,
this investment strategy also expects to include investments in historically more volatile securities such as
equities, unlike an objective focused on capital preservation alone.
Balanced
The Balanced investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments and income
generation with a secondary goal of principal preservation. The investment strategy also aims to maintain
moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with these objectives, this
investment strategy expects to invest in assets that tend to have a history of lower capital returns and volatility
such as fixed income, and those with a more volatile history and upside return potential such as equities.
Growth
The Growth investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments. The investment strategy
also aims to maintain above-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent
with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest predominantly in assets that tend to have a history
20
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
of higher upside return potential and volatility such as equities, with a lower percentage invested in historically
less volatile securities such as fixed income.
Aggressive Growth
The Aggressive Growth investment strategy seeks to first and foremost achieve growth of capital investments.
The investment strategy will generally maintain high exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return
objective. Consistent with these objectives, this investment strategy expects to invest predominantly in assets
that tend to have a history of higher upside return potential and volatility, such as equities.
Balanced ESG and Growth ESG
The Balanced ESG investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments and income
generation, with a secondary goal of principal preservation, by primarily investing in funds, strategies and other
investments that consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into their investment process
and/or focus on sustainable themes. The investment strategy aims to maintain moderate exposure to risk of
capital loss in pursuit of this objective. Consistent with its balanced approach, this investment strategy expects
to invest in assets that have upside return potential but tend to have a more volatile return history, such as equities
and alternative assets, as well as assets that tend to have a history of lower capital returns and less volatility,
such as fixed income.
The Growth ESG investment strategy seeks to primarily achieve growth of capital investments by investing in
funds, strategies and other investments that consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into
their investment process and/or focus on sustainable themes. The investment strategy also aims to maintain
above-moderate exposure to risk of capital loss in pursuit of this return objective. Consistent with its growth
approach, this investment strategy expects to invest predominantly in assets that tend to have a history of higher
upside return potential and volatility such as equities, with a lower percentage invested in historically less volatile
securities such as fixed income.
U.S. Focused Models
U.S. Focused models investment strategies for Income, Conservative, Balanced, Growth and Aggressive Growth
are available to clients in Personal Advisors Program. U.S. Focused models seek to primarily invest in the United
States.

Municipal Fixed income (for taxable accounts)
For taxable (non-retirement) accounts, clients can elect to substitute tax-aware investments for certain equities
or municipal investment for some fixed income options.
VI. MFAP Overview
MFAP is a mutual fund and ETF managed account program managed and offered by JPMS. JPMPI, as the non-
discretionary sub-adviser, will make available Funds, including Liquid Alternative Funds, for investment through
MFAP that meet the due diligence standards of the manager solutions team and are approved for use in MFAP,
provides recommendations to JPMS regarding strategic asset allocations and asset allocation ranges for the
asset allocation models (“MFAP Models”) and selects the Funds in each asset class to be made available for
investment in MFAP models. JPMPI does not manage MFAP account assets on a discretionary basis. Instead,
each client directs the investment of their MFAP account assets across each selected asset class into one or
more Funds. Each MFAP Model consists of Funds in several asset classes. Depending on the MFAP Model
selected, clients may choose one or more Funds in each asset class. Each asset class in an MFAP Model has a
specified allocation range and the client designates the specific asset allocation percentage desired for each
asset class.
Funds available through MFAP include both J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non-J.P. Morgan Funds.
Funds that have an ESG or sustainable investing objective or strategy (“ESG Funds”) can be selected by clients
to satisfy asset class allocations in MFAP, to the extent available. However, MFAP is not designated by JPMS as
an ESG or sustainable investing program nor does JPMS monitor this allocation or guarantee the availability or
any minimum or maximum investment in ESG Funds. There is no guarantee that an ESG Fund will continue to
reflect ESG characteristics, objective or philosophy or be considered by JPMS as an ESG or sustainable
investment.
Refer to “Oversight of JPMPI by JPMS” below for more information on the oversight of JPMPI as non-discretionary
sub-adviser for MFAP by JPMS.
VII. JPMGAP Overview
JPMGAP is a guided annuity program offered by JPMS in conjunction with J.P. Morgan Multi-Asset Choice
variable annuity contracts (each an “Annuity Contract”) issued by a third-party insurance company. JPMPI, as
the non-discretionary sub-adviser, selects the Funds offered through the Annuity Contract and available in
JPMGAP (which Funds are series of Variable Insurance Trusts (VITs)), and provides recommendations to JPMS
regarding target asset allocations and asset allocation ranges for the asset allocation models (“JPMGAP
Models”). JPMPI does not manage JPMGAP account assets on a discretionary basis. Instead, each client directs
the investment of their JPMGAP assets across asset classes based on a recommended asset allocation model
into one or more Funds. Each JPMGAP Model consists of Funds in several asset classes. Depending on the
JPMGAP Model selected, clients may choose one or more Funds in each asset class. Each asset class in a
22
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
JPMGAP Model has a specified allocation range and the client designates the specific asset allocation percentage
desired for each asset class.
JPMGAP clients do not own direct interests in the Funds, but rather make allocations through the Annuity Contract
to fund sub-accounts of the insurance company’s variable account that in turn directly invests in the particular
underlying Fund.
The particular Funds available under the Annuity Contract may change from time to time. Specifically, Funds or
Fund share classes that are currently available may be removed or closed off to future investment or new Funds
or share classes of currently available Funds may be added. Clients, as contract owners, will receive notice of
any such changes that affect their Annuity Contract. The Funds, which sell their shares to the sub-accounts
pursuant to participation agreements, also may terminate these agreements and discontinue offering their shares
to the sub-accounts. Clients of JPMGAP should refer to the Annuity Contract prospectus for additional information
and a list of available investment options for the Annuity Contract.
Funds available through JPMGAP include both J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non-J.P. Morgan Funds.
Refer to “Oversight of JPMPI by JPMS” below for more information on the oversight of JPMPI as non-discretionary
sub-adviser for JPMGAP by JPMS.
VIII. Oversight of JPMPI by JPMS (JPMCAP, CSP, Personal Advisors Program, MFAP, JPMGAP)
JPMS establishes investment objectives and policy, designates sub-adviser(s) when appropriate and is
responsible for oversight of the sub-adviser(s).
For JPMCAP, CSP and Personal Advisors, JPMPI acts as a discretionary sub-adviser. There are operational
considerations, such as Fund concentration and capacity issues, that can result in the timing or implementation
of trades for a client’s account differing from that of another client or group of clients of JPMS or its affiliates and,
for Personal Advisors Program, can affect the timing of certain tactical trades. An internal governance committee
provides ongoing oversight of JPMCAP, CSP and Personal Advisors Program to review compliance with certain
guidelines.
For MFAP and JPMGAP, JPMPI acts as a non-discretionary sub-adviser. An internal governance committee
provides oversight of the program(s) tailored to its non-discretionary nature, which includes reviewing asset
allocation ranges. JPMS (not JPMPI) is responsible for determining whether a MFAP or JPMGAP Model, the
allowable ranges in each MFAP or JPMGAP Model, the individual Funds in MFAP or JPMGAP and the investment
in the Annuity Contract (for JPMGAP) are suitable for each client.
IX. Fund and SMA/Model Manager Research
JPMPI utilizes different types of research on Funds and SMA/Model Managers. A due diligence review is
performed on Funds and SMA/Model Managers identified through both the Qualitative Research Process and
Systematic Research Process.
23
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
For the “Qualitative Research Process,” the manager solutions team conducts a qualitative analysis of Funds and
SMA/Model Managers on an ongoing basis. The team reviews the portfolio manager’s organization, investment
process, investment philosophy and performance.
For passive Fund vehicles, there is a quantitative screening process that applies the manager solutions team
criteria to review and monitor investments at the product level. This is combined with qualitative review and inputs.
For the “Systematic Research Process,” Funds and SMA/Model Managers are evaluated using an internally
developed quantitative screening process on an ongoing basis. This evaluation reviews the portfolio manager’s
organization, investment process, investment philosophy and performance using only quantitative criteria.
Funds and SMA/Model Managers may be removed from (or no longer be eligible for purchase in) the applicable
J.P. Morgan advisory programs if they do not continue to meet these criteria. Funds and SMA/Model Managers
subject to the Systematic Research Process may also go through the Qualitative Research Process. To the extent
that Fund and SMA/Model Managers are reviewed through both processes, the results of the Qualitative
Research Process will override the results of the Systematic Research Process. For example, if a Fund or
SMA/Model Manager does not meet the required quantitative criteria of the Systematic Research Process the
manager solutions team may alternatively review and approve it using the Qualitative Research Process, and the
Fund or SMA/Model Manager would then be available in the programs relying on the Systematic Research
Process; also, if a Fund or SMA/Model Manager is terminated under the Qualitative Research Process, it will also
be terminated in programs relying on the Systematic Research Process.
C.
Availability of Customized Services for Clients
Clients can request reasonable restrictions on their investments in the Programs - including particular securities
or category of securities related to a sector or industry (e.g., weapons or tobacco) - that will be implemented at
JPMS or JPMPI’s sole discretion. JPMS or JPMPI may rely on the information about a company, industry
classification, industry grouping and issuer screening provided by J.P. Morgan or a third-party to implement the
investment restrictions. Category restrictions aim to screen companies with revenue derived from the restricted
category, but they do not exclude all companies with any tie or revenue derived from such restricted category.
JPMS and JPMPI do not review, guarantee or validate third-party screenings or processes. Issuer screenings
and processes to implement category investment restrictions are not absolute and may change at any time and
could result in the portfolio holding investments in companies that derive revenue from the restricted category. If
a client’s investment is perceived to belong to the restricted category, such security will be sold and could trigger
a taxable event to the client. For more on category restrictions, see “Category Restrictions and Exclusions Risks”
under Item 8.
JPMPI is not required to accept investment restrictions that it deems unreasonable and may decline an account
when it deems any client requested restriction unreasonable. Any restrictions a client imposes on the
management of the account can limit JPMS’s or JPMPI’s ability to make investments or take advantage of
opportunities and could cause the account to perform differently than similar unrestricted accounts.
24
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
For client accounts that can hold Funds, clients cannot prohibit or restrict JPMPI from investing in specific
securities or types of securities that are held within any Fund. Category restrictions will not be applied to strategies
that invest only in Funds, nor will they be applied to investments made by Funds, so it is possible that client
restrictions would not have any practical effect on an account comprised primarily of Fund investments.
D.
Wrap Fee Programs
In a wrap fee program, clients pay JPMS a single fee based on the assets they have invested with them. The fee
covers investment advisory services and other account-related services, such as trade execution, clearing and
settlement services, reporting and custody services, as well as financial planning, when applicable. JPMS
reimburses JPMPI for its costs for providing investment services, including certain investment advisory, portfolio
management, research and implementation services, as applicable. JPMPI does not separately receive a fee
from JPMS or its clients. JPMS has primary responsibility for client communications and services; reimbursing
JPMPI’s for its applicable costs; monitoring and evaluating JPMPI’s investment advisory services; executing the
client’s account transactions; and providing for custodial services for the client’s assets in exchange for a fee paid
by the client. Refer to Item 5 for more information of other fees.
JPMPI is responsible for making investment decisions regarding the selection of investments and the total amount
of securities bought and sold for accounts, and can do so without consultation with clients. Clients generally
authorize JPMS and JPMPI to effect transactions, subject to the duty to seek best execution. JPMS will ordinarily
provide clearing, settlement, and custodial services with respect to transactions and assets in accounts.
In certain instances, wrap clients may request to engage in trades intended to capture additional capital gains or
offset a capital gains tax liability. Such tax harvesting trades are subject to the sponsor’s or JPMPI’s policies
regarding minimum size of the trade, timing and format of the request. The availability of tax harvesting
functionality may be limited, depending on strategy, security type and trading platform. If utilizing tax harvesting,
the client’s account holdings can differ from those accounts that do not utilize such election, and therefore
performance will likely differ. Generally, if certain criteria is satisfied, tax harvesting trades are processed on a
best efforts basis. Tax harvesting trades typically receive a lower priority than cash flow trades, trades to fund new
accounts, trades to liquidate securities in connection with account terminations and block trades. As such, there
may be a delay between a wrap client’s tax harvesting request and its execution, and requests received after a
communicated deadline, may not be executed before year end. For more information, see “Tax Risks and Risks
That Apply to Tax Harvesting and Tax Managed Strategies” under Item 8.
The same JPMPI portfolio managers who manage JPMS accounts also manage other accounts for JPMCB which
have the same or substantially similar investment objectives and follow the same or similar strategies to those of
JPMS accounts (“JPMCB Accounts”). JPMS accounts will not always be handled identically to JPMCB Accounts
such as trading through different broker-dealers. For certain Programs, the program fee for clients is different than
the program fee for JPMCB Accounts. Additionally, individual JPMCB Accounts generally have more assets than
individual JPMS accounts and therefore, JPMCB receives more gross compensation with respect to JPMCB
Accounts than JPMS and JPMPI receive from JPMS accounts. The portfolio managers have a potential conflict
25
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
of interest by having an incentive to favor these JPMCB Accounts when, for example, determining time spent
managing such accounts, placing securities transactions or when allocating securities to clients. JPMPI has
policies and procedures designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated fairly (refer to Item 12.B).
Refer to Items 10 and 11 for more information on material conflicts of interest relating to JPMPI’s advisory services.
Information Regarding Retirement Accounts
Retirement accounts can be restricted from investing in Funds that have a certain relationship with J.P. Morgan.
As a result, performance of retirement accounts can differ from non-retirement accounts.
Fractional Share Trading
Certain investment strategies (e.g. Multi-Manager Strategies for Private Client Advisers and Personal Advisors
Program) utilize fractional share trading. Fractional share trading allows for the purchase and sale of fractional
share positions of equity securities, closed-end funds, ETFs and other eligible securities which reduces tracking
error relative to investment strategies by allowing accounts to invest closer to investment strategy allocations by
not having to round security positions to whole shares. Fractional share trading is not available for the same
investment strategies in other JPMS channels.
Orders that include a fractional share quantity cannot be routed to an exchange or other market makers for
execution. Therefore, the fractional share component of an order will need to be combined with an order from a
JPMS facilitation account to make a whole share which can then be routed for execution. This means that JPMS
will be trading alongside the customer fractional share trade to facilitate the order, which will be routed out for
execution in an agency capacity. JPMS will not act as a principal or counterparty to the customer account when
executing these orders. As part of the fractional share process, JPMS maintains a facilitation account that holds
a small number of shares of eligible securities in inventory for sell orders and keeps cash on hand for buy orders.
JPMS adds a fractional share to aggregated buy or sell orders so that the order is rounded up to whole shares,
and the additional fractional share is purchased or sold by JPMS. Due to a variety of factors—such as the number
of trades executed, allocating fractional shares to multiple clients at one time, and market price volatility—JPMS
could accrue a net profit or loss in its fractional share facilitation account.
JPMS is under no obligation to continue to offer fractional share trading in the future and, in its discretion, may
discontinue fractional share trading at any time. Upon termination of a client account, fractional share positions
will be sold and the proceeds placed in the sweep option applicable to the account..
Fractional share trades where a “sell” order is submitted and JPMS does not hold any shares will require JPMS
to purchase one share in the market before submitting the sell order to be able to round the fractional share up to
a whole share before the order can be sent for execution. As such, there could be a delay in execution of such
“sell” order while JPMS obtains a share to be able to submit the fractional share trade order.
As applicable, dividends are paid on fractional share positions. The dividend payable will be an amount
proportionate to the fractional interest.

March 27, 2026
Corporate Actions and Proxy Voting: Fractional shares participate in both mandatory corporate actions (e.g., stock
splits, mergers), as well as voluntary corporate actions (e.g., tender offers). Fractional share positions are not
eligible for proxy voting. Therefore, you will not have voting rights for any of the fractional shares held in your
account. Clients will only be allowed to participate in proxy voting with respect to whole share positions.
For additional information about fractional share trading, please contact your Advisor.

Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025 JPMPI had regulatory assets under management of approximately: (i)
$161,949,999,418 in JPMCAP on a discretionary basis, (ii) $33,941,840,807 in CSP on a discretionary basis, (iii)
$62,674,991,403 in the Advisory Program on a discretionary basis, (iv) $341,116,693 in STRATIS on a
discretionary basis, (v) $3,614,213,249 in the Personal Advisors Program on a discretionary basis (vi)
$56,712,343,484 in MFAP on a non-discretionary basis, and (vii) $337,694,869 in JPMGAP on a non-discretionary
basis.
Outside of the Programs listed in this Brochure, as of December 31, 2025, JPMPI had additional regulatory assets
under management of approximately $150,406,205,500 on a discretionary basis and $1,709,610 on a non-
discretionary basis. Note that Six Circles Funds assets are included in the regulatory assets under management
reported for the Programs, to the extent those Programs are invested in Six Circles Funds, as well as the
regulatory assets under management reported as managed by JPMPI outside of the Programs on a discretionary
basis.
Thus, as of December 31, 2025, the total amount of regulatory assets under management by JPMPI on a
discretionary basis is approximately $412,928,367,071 and $57,051,747,962 on a non-discretionary basis.
ITEM 5
Fees and Compensation
A.
JPMPI Compensation
JPMS reimburses JPMPI for its costs for providing investment services, including certain investment advisory,
portfolio management, research and implementation services, as applicable. JPMPI does not separately receive
a fee from JPMS or its clients. Neither JPMPI nor any of its supervised persons accepts compensation for the
sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale
of Funds.
B.
Client Expenses
Clients pay JPMS an asset-based fee (“wrap fee”) for the various services JPMS provide in the Programs. This
wrap fee covers JPMS’ investment advisory services, trade execution, clearing and settlement, custody, reporting
and other administrative services, and (where applicable) portfolio management and/or rebalancing services.
Unless otherwise disclosed, a separate fee is charged for the use of SMA/Model Managers. The wrap fee clients
pay to JPMS does not include Fund fees and expenses, transfer taxes, electronic fund and wire transfer fees, IRA
27
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
and retirement plan account fees, margin interest, ADR related fees, or any other fees that would reasonably be
assessed to a brokerage account. In addition, the wrap fee paid to JPMS does not cover certain costs or charges
that can be imposed by JPMS or third parties, including costs associated with exchanging foreign currencies,
borrowing fees on short sales, odd-lot differentials, activity assessment fees, exchange fees, postage fees,
auction fees, foreign clearing, settlement and custodial fees, and other fees or taxes required by law. Further, the
wrap fee does not cover “dealer spreads” that JPMS or its affiliates or other broker-dealers receive when acting
as principal in certain transactions.
Funds pay fees and expenses that are ultimately borne by clients (including but not limited to management fees,
brokerage costs, and administration and custody fees). Additionally, Funds held in an account have investment
advisory expenses, so clients incur two levels of investment management fees and expenses: one indirectly in
the form of an investment management fee to the investment adviser of each Fund, and one to JPMS for its
services rendered. These fees are in addition to any fees paid to JPMS as the sponsor. In addition, JPMS and its
affiliates collectively generally receive greater revenue if J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds or affiliated SMA/Model
Managers are included, and therefore, JPMS and JPMPI have a conflict of interest in including J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds or affiliated SMA/Model Managers. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model
Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated
Funds and affiliated SMA/Model Managers.
Special tax rules may apply to investments in foreign issuers, including ADRs. For example, one or more issuers
in the portfolio may qualify as a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation for U.S.
tax purposes, and non-U.S. withholding tax may be imposed on distributions or gains. Also, in certain cases,
additional U.S. tax reporting may be required. Shares of foreign companies on foreign exchanges can be
purchased and the shares converted to ADRs for client accounts, if the total cost of the purchase and conversion
is more advantageous than directly purchasing the ADRs. To the extent that a subsidiary of J.P. Morgan assists
in the conversion of foreign stock, J.P. Morgan affiliates will receive additional compensation from the transaction
but the total cost of the purchase and conversion should not exceed the cost if they had originally purchased the
ADR in U.S. markets. If the investment in the portfolio is made through an IRA, any foreign taxes incurred generally
would not be creditable against client’s U.S. income tax liability. Refer to “Foreign Issuers Risk” for more
information.
For JPMGAP, in addition to the JPMS advisory fee and underlying Fund fees, the Annuity Contract will be subject
to additional fees and charges including mortality, expense and administrative charges, fees for additional riders
as may become available under the Annuity Contract. Further information about charges under the Annuity
Contract are available in the prospectus for the Annuity Contract.
In choosing to open a wrap account, wrap clients should also be aware that JPMPI offers a variety of investment
strategies that will, at various times, experience higher or lower portfolio "turnover” of investment securities held
in the portfolio. Wrap clients investing in a strategy during a period with lower investment turnover would be paying
the same bundled fee as in a period with high turnover.
28
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
In managing the Programs (except for MFAP and JPMGAP), JPMPI will generally place orders for client accounts
with JPMS for execution because the wrap fee paid by each client includes commissions and certain transaction
charges on trades executed through JPMS. JPMPI may execute trades through a broker-dealer other than JPMS
(including in transactions referred to as “step-out” transactions) when JPMPI reasonably believes doing so will
allow it to seek best execution. This can include, for example, situations where JPMPI believes that any added
transaction or other charges of trading through another broker-dealer can be offset by a more favorable execution
offered by that broker-dealer. For more information on trading away, refer to the applicable JPMS Form ADV, Part
2A Appendix 1, SEC File No. 801-3702, which are available at the SEC’s website at adviserinfo.sec.gov or from
JPMS upon request as well as in additional disclosures in the “Trading Away and Associated Costs” section on
the JPMS separate websites, available at chase.com/managed-account-disclosures.
To the extent that any securities or other assets used to establish a wrap account are sold to bring the account
into alignment with the investment strategy selected by the client, the client will be responsible for payment of any
taxes due. Clients should consult their tax adviser or accountant regarding the tax treatment of their account
under a wrap program.

Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
JPMPI does not receive performance fees or engage in side-by-side management.
ITEM 7
Types of Clients
I. All Programs except Personal Advisors Program
JPMS offers and sells the Programs to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and
other business entities with U.S. addresses. Depending on the strategy and the line of business, certain
Programs can be available to retirement accounts subject to ERISA. Except for MFAP and JPMGAP, the
Programs are not intended for investors who seek to maintain control over trading in their account. The Programs
are not intended for investors who have a short-term time horizon (or expect ongoing and significant withdrawals),
or who expect or desire to maintain consistently high levels of cash or money market funds.
JPMS has established account minimum requirements for client accounts, which vary based on the investment
strategy. Minimums are subject to waiver or reduction in JPMS’ discretion and are waived for certain client
accounts from time to time. If a Program account falls below the Program minimum, JPMS can terminate the
Program account at its discretion.
To open or maintain an account, clients are required to enter into an investment advisory agreement with JPMS
that stipulates the terms under which JPMPI is authorized to act on behalf of the client to manage the assets
listed in the agreement.

JPMCAP
Participation in JPMCAP generally requires a minimum $10,000 investment. Currently, JPMS requires a minimum
$250,000 investment to invest in Liquid Alternative Funds, and a minimum $750,000 investment to invest in other
securities through Model Managers. Accounts that fall below these minimums as a result of client withdrawals
will be rebalanced by the trade implementation team to a model without Liquid Alternative Funds or other
securities through Model Managers. The US Endowments & Foundations investment strategy is designed to
primarily service endowments and foundations with investable assets of more than $1,000,000.
CSP
CSP is generally closed to new accounts, but participation in CSP generally required a minimum $50,000
investment. Currently, JPMS requires a $500,000 or more investment to invest in other securities through
SMA/Model Managers. For models that require a minimum of $500,000 or more, when an account that falls
below this minimum as a result of client withdrawals, the account will be rebalanced by the trade implementation
team without other securities through SMA/Model Managers.
Advisory Program
Participation in the Advisory Program generally requires a minimum $50,000 investment for Multi-Manager
Strategies.
STRATIS
Participation in STRATIS generally requires a minimum $50,000 investment for Multi-Manager Strategies.
MFAP
Participation in MFAP generally requires a minimum $50,000 investment.
JPMGAP
Participation in JPMGAP generally requires a minimum $50,000 investment in the Annuity Contract, although a
client funding with an annuity exchange (1035 exchange) can meet the minimum by investing over the course of
the first year of the Annuity Contract. The minimum subsequent purchase payment is $5,000. Some states have
different minimum initial and subsequent purchase payment amounts, and subsequent purchase payments may
not be permitted in all states.
II. Personal Advisors Program
Clients generally include individuals investing through taxable accounts and retirement accounts with a U.S.
address. Participation in the Program generally requires an initial minimum investment of $25,000. Clients can
open and maintain multiple Program accounts, but each account requires a $10,000 initial minimum investment.
The minimum is subject to waiver or reduction at JPMS’ discretion and are waived for certain client accounts from
time to time. If a Program or account assets fall below the initial minimums, JPMS can terminate participation in
the Program and close accounts at its discretion.

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A.
Method of Analysis
JPMPI utilizes different methods of analysis that are tailored for each of the investment strategies and Programs
it offers its clients. Set forth below are the primary methods of analysis that JPMPI utilizes in formulating
investment advice or managing assets.
Description of Investment Strategies
Refer to Item 4.B above for descriptions of each Program’s investment strategies.
JPMCAP, CSP, and Personal Advisors Program - Investment Process
JPMPI is responsible for determining asset allocation, selecting Funds and, for JPMCAP and CSP, SMA/Model
Managers, determining portfolio construction, and evaluating investment strategies on an ongoing basis subject
to oversight by JPMS.
Asset Allocation Process
JPMPI is responsible for establishing and updating the overall strategic asset allocations for the investment
strategies, as well as the tactical asset allocations for JPMCAP and CSP. This process includes the use of an
internal committee. These asset allocations generally are the overall basis for the process described below. The
JPMPI personnel who perform these functions are shared with JPMCB and perform substantially similar services
for other clients. JPMPI periodically reviews the asset allocation and performance of the investment strategies
with JPMS.
Research Process
The manager solutions and operational due diligence teams of JPMPI or its affiliates conduct due diligence of the
Funds and SMA/Model Managers that are available for use, as applicable. The manager solutions team is
responsible for researching and selecting Funds and SMA/Model Managers, and for subjecting them to a review
process. The due diligence process is designed to subject both JPMIM and non-J.P. Morgan investment strategies
to the same process; however, please refer to below under “Review of Programs” about JPMPI strategies.
The manager solutions team applies its discretion when reviewing the Funds and SMA/Model Managers and is
not required to apply all factors equally to each Fund in the search universe. J.P. Morgan maintains certain
capacity limitations on investment positions in non-J.P. Morgan Funds due to liquidity concerns, regulatory
requirements, and related internal policies. In circumstances where these limitations mean that JPMPI would not
be able to invest all desired client assets in a particular non-J.P. Morgan Fund, the manager solutions team will
likely recommend a J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund. The manager solutions team will begin the search process by
defining an applicable universe of investment strategies, which typically will include J.P. Morgan investment
strategies when there is one in the desired asset class. The manager solutions team utilizes both quantitative and
qualitative assessments during its initial review process.

Once a Fund or SMA/Model Manager has been selected during the initial review process, the operational due
diligence team will be consulted to conduct its initial review. The operational due diligence team is responsible for
the review of the Fund’s or SMA/Model Manager’s infrastructure from a non-investment perspective. This review
includes the organizational structure, trade life-cycle, legal / compliance oversight, information security, and
systems infrastructure.
The manager solutions team in conjunction with the operational due diligence team then makes a formal
presentation recommending particular Funds and SMA/Model Managers, as applicable, to an internal governance
committee, which is responsible for approving or rejecting them (refer to “Initial Strategy Review and Approval”
below). The manager solutions and operational due diligence teams are also responsible for monitoring and re-
evaluating approved Funds and SMA/Model Managers, as applicable, as part of its ongoing review process (refer
to “Ongoing Review of Approved Strategies” below).
As part of the due diligence process, the manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates applies an eligibility
framework that establishes a sustainable investing minimum criteria for determining the universe of strategies
offered to clients. Strategies that satisfy the sustainable investing eligibility criteria also are subject to the same
due diligence and performance review process as all other strategies. Accordingly, these strategies can be
selected by J.P. Morgan, in its discretion and as appropriate, for inclusion in any client portfolio.
Initial Strategy Review and Approval
The internal governance committee considers the formal presentation from the manager solutions and operational
due diligence teams and approves or rejects new Funds and SMA/Model Managers, as applicable, to be made
available for JPMPI’s use in the Programs. The internal governance committee review and approval process is
generally the same for J.P. Morgan and non–J.P. Morgan investment strategies, as further described above under
“Research Process.”
Ongoing Review of Approved Strategies
An internal governance committee is responsible for making decisions to maintain Funds and SMA/Model
Managers, as applicable, as approved and available for the Programs. This committee considers analysis and
recommendations from the manager solutions and operational due diligence teams. From time to time, this
internal governance committee may place them on probation, or terminate them as part of its ongoing monitoring
and oversight responsibilities. The internal governance committee review process is generally the same for J.P.
Morgan and non–J.P. Morgan investment strategies, as further described above under “Research Process.” If a
Fund or SMA/Model Manager that is in the Programs is placed on probation, during the probation period, the
manager solutions and operational due diligence teams will continue to review the Fund or SMA/Model Manager.
In addition, JPMPI may be limited from making additional purchases of a Fund due to capacity considerations.
Portfolio Construction
From the pool of approved strategies, JPMPI selects the combination of Funds and SMA/Model Managers, as
applicable, that, in its view, fit each investment strategy’s asset allocation goals and investment objectives. In
32
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
making portfolio construction decisions, JPMPI will consider and is permitted to prefer J.P. Morgan Affiliated
Funds, including the Six Circles Funds, and affiliated SMA/Model Managers, as applicable.
JPMPI also may, for portfolio construction reasons, remove a Fund or SMA/Model Manager from the Programs.
If a Fund or SMA/Model Manager that is in the Programs is placed on probation, it will generally continue to be
held in clients’ accounts, but generally JPMPI may not direct new purchases of such Fund or SMA/Model Manager
for client accounts until the Fund or SMA/Model Manager is removed from probation. Generally, a Fund or
SMA/Model Manager that is terminated will be sold.
If JPMPI removes a Fund or SMA/Model Manager, the assets held in client accounts will be sold and replaced,
when appropriate, with another Fund or SMA/Model Manager that is available for use in the Programs.
Review of Programs
JPMPI’s strategies are subject to a separate though similar review process incorporating similar quantitative and
qualitative assessments as described above under “Research Process”, and implemented by an internal
governance committee which provides ongoing oversight of the Programs to review compliance with strategy-
specific guidelines and metrics. However, the JPMPI strategies review process does not include a search process
to identify a universe and core peer set of strategies from which to select. From time to time, this governance
committee may place the Programs on probation, or terminate them as part of its ongoing monitoring and
oversight responsibilities. This committee considers analysis and recommendations from an internal due diligence
team separate from the manager solutions team.
JPMCAP, CSP and Personal Advisors Program - Allocation to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
JPMPI can allocate a portion of the assets in JPMCAP, CSP and Personal Advisors Program to J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds. That portion varies depending on market or other conditions. There are multiple models in each
of the investment strategies available in JPMCAP, CSP and Personal Advisors Program. Certain models invest
only in mutual funds and ETFs, while other models utilize SMA/Model Managers and/or Liquid Alternative Funds
(only for JPMCAP accounts). Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and
Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below for more information on the use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
and affiliated Model Managers.
The following charts illustrate, as of the date indicated, the allocation of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds (excluding
Six Circles Funds), non–J.P. Morgan Funds, Six Circles Funds, and J.P. Morgan cash for JPMCAP taxable and
retirement models. The charts do not reflect models that elect not to use J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds, models that
elect only Index Oriented Vehicles, models that utilize Liquid Alternative Funds (other than the Aggressive Growth
investment strategy because all Aggressive Growth investment strategies include Liquid Alternative Funds),
Model Managers, or municipal fixed income elections.

The prior composition of investment strategies in JPMCAP, CSP and Personal Advisors Program is not intended
to predict the future composition of investment strategies or use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds in JPMCAP, CSP
and Personal Advisors Program. Allocations shown here are illustrative only, do not necessarily represent actual
use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and non-J.P. Morgan Funds represented in any particular client’s account, and
may change without notice. JPMPI is not required to adhere to the illustrative allocations pictured here. The
allocations in any particular client’s account will depend on, among other things, the investment strategy selected,
client elections (such as Index Oriented Vehicles or non-J.P. Morgan Funds and unaffiliated Model Managers for
JPMCAP), client asset level, reasonable restrictions placed by clients on the management of an account, and
other factors. Each client should review account opening documentation, confirmations, and quarterly and annual
statements for more information about the actual allocation in the client’s account.
Advisory Program and STRATIS – Investment Process
Multi-Manager Strategies
JPMPI, as portfolio manager of the Multi-Manager Strategies made available through the Advisory Program and
STRATIS, is responsible for portfolio construction, including selecting Funds and Model Managers for these
strategies. For the Multi-Manager Strategies, JPMPI expects to generally follow a similar process as the one
described under “Research Process,” “Initial Strategy Review and Approval,” “Ongoing Review of Approved
Strategies,” “Portfolio Construction” and “Review of Programs” of Item 8.

JPMPI can allocate a portion of the assets in Multi-Manager Strategies to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. That
portion varies depending on market or other conditions. There are multiple investment strategies available in the
Multi-Manager Strategies. Certain investment strategies invest only in mutual funds and ETFs, while other
investment strategies can also utilize Model Managers. Refer to “Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and

MFAP and JPMGAP Investment Process
JPMPI provides recommendations to JPMS regarding strategic asset allocation and asset allocation ranges for
each MFAP and JPMGAP Model, as well as selecting approved Funds in each asset class to be made available
to clients for their MFAP accounts and JPMGAP Annuity Contracts. Clients designate the specific asset allocation
percentage desired for each asset class (within the approved asset allocation ranges). Clients also select one or
more Funds in each asset class they select for their own accounts from those Funds available in MFAP and
JPMGAP. JPMPI’s investment activities in MFAP and JPMGAP are subject to oversight by JPMS. An internal
governance committee provides oversight of the program tailored to its non-discretionary nature, which includes
reviewing asset allocation ranges.
In providing recommendations to JPMS regarding strategic asset allocation and asset allocation ranges for each
MFAP and JPMGAP Model, as well as in selecting Funds to be made available to MFAP clients and in the
JPMGAP Annuity Contract and with respect to ongoing review of Funds available through MFAP and JPMGAP,
JPMPI considers J.P. Morgan’s overall long term capital markets assumptions and seeks to balance risk and
return over a long-term horizon, while providing clients with flexibility to achieve their desired asset allocations.
JPMS determines the number of Funds in an asset class and the overall design of MFAP and JPMGAP Models.
Periodically, JPMPI reviews with JPMS changes to the MFAP and JPMGAP composition, such as Fund additions,
terminations, replacement funds, and probations. JPMPI may make a new Fund available to MFAP clients and
under the JPMGAP Annuity Contract upon JPMS’s request, if JPMPI seeks to fill a gap in the Funds available in
MFAP and JPMGAP, or as an appropriate replacement for a terminated Fund. JPMPI expects to generally follow
a similar process as the one described under “Research Process,” “Initial Strategy Review and Approval,” and
“Ongoing Review of Approved Strategies” of Item 8.
With respect to “Portfolio Construction,” clients select one or more Funds in each asset class they select for their
own accounts from the Funds available in MFAP or under the JPMGAP Annuity Contract. JPMPI may change the
recommended strategic asset allocation or asset allocation ranges for an MFAP Model or JPMGAP Model. JPMS
will notify affected clients of the changes and perform any re-balancing, or in the case of JPMGAP, work with the
insurance company, to bring client accounts into conformity.
In the MFAP program, if a Fund has been terminated from the Program, all new and additional purchases and
rebalances allocated to the terminated Fund will be allocated to cash. The Fund held in Program accounts will be
sold and replaced with another Fund in the same asset class or the proceeds will be allocated to cash. In the
JPMGAP program, the insurance company offering the Annuity Contract will perform a transfer from the
terminated Fund into the replacement Fund with notice and input from JPMS and JPMPI. When evaluating
replacement Funds, JPMPI is expected to consider the same factors described above and will notify JPMS of the
replacement Fund. JPMS will notify affected clients in writing of the Fund termination in MFAP or JPMGAP and
of the recommended replacement Fund for the Program account assets invested in the terminated Fund. If clients
do not select an alternative replacement Fund within the requested timeframe, the client's assets will automatically
be re-invested into the designated replacement Fund. A client who does not approve of the replacement Fund
38
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
must select an alternative Fund. Removal and replacement of Funds can cause income tax consequences and/or
penalties. At times the only alternative Fund will be a J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund.
The manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates will determine, when appropriate, that a Fund be put on
probation. A Fund on probation generally will not be made available by JPMS to new MFAP and JPMGAP clients.
Existing MFAP clients may continue to hold shares and purchase additional shares of a Fund on probation and
existing JPMGAP clients may continue to hold interests and make additional investments in the associated Fund
sub-account in the Annuity Contract, or they may choose a different Fund in that asset class. If a Fund on probation
is terminated, it will be replaced as described above.
Additional Research Services
Advisory Program, STRATIS and Other JPMS Advisory Programs
JPMS has separately engaged JPMPI to perform research services for the Advisory Program (except JPMPI
managers), STRATIS (except JPMPI managers) and other JPMS advisory programs. The research services that
JPMPI performs for JPMS include: (1) recommending strategies to an internal governance committee which is
responsible for approving or rejecting them, available for inclusion in the Programs; (2) ongoing review of the
strategies; and (3) determining as appropriate strategies be placed on probation or terminated.
Certain Advisory Program, STRATIS and other JPMS advisory program strategies are managed by affiliated
portfolio managers, including JPMIM, and unaffiliated portfolio managers. JPMPI uses its manager solutions and
operational due diligence teams to provide research services. In providing research services for the
aforementioned programs, JPMPI expects to generally follow a similar process to the one described under
“Research Process,” “Initial Strategy Review and Approval,” and “Ongoing Review of Approved Strategies” of Item
8.
The research services JPMPI provides to JPMS are not tailored to clients of the Advisory Program, STRATIS and
other JPMS advisory programs. JPMPI is solely responsible for selecting the strategies to be made available in
the applicable program, based upon the information and recommendations provided by the manager solutions
and operational due diligence teams of JPMPI or its affiliates and such other information and resources that JPMS
deems appropriate.
JPMPI has an incentive to recommend its affiliated investment strategies for approval in the Programs because
J.P. Morgan receives more overall revenue when these strategies are chosen by clients (except for the Six Circles
Funds). Similarly, with respect to manager termination, JPMPI has a greater incentive to terminate unaffiliated
third-party managers from the Advisory Program or STRATIS, particularly where the manager’s strategy is similar
to one offered by JPMIM.

B.
Material, Significant, or Unusual Risks Relating to Investment Strategies
Client accounts will generally be invested in Funds and/or individual securities. The individual securities held in
client accounts and by Funds generally will include U.S. or foreign equity or fixed income securities.
The following risks are the primary risks associated with the investment strategies and the Programs offered by
JPMPI, as well as the possible risks applicable to client accounts. However, it is impossible to identify all of the
risks associated with investing and the particular risks applicable to a client account will depend on the nature of
the account, its investment strategy or strategies and the types of securities held. For example, if a client’s
investment strategy includes equity investments, the client should review the subsection “Risks that Apply
Primarily to Equity Investments,” and, if the investment strategy includes fixed income securities, the client should
review the subsection “Risks that Apply Primarily to Fixed Income Investments.” The “General Risks” subsection
generally applies to all Programs and investment strategies. The subsection “Other Miscellaneous Portfolio Risks”
contains various other portfolio risks that may or may not apply to an account depending on the nature of account’s
investment strategy and the securities held in the client account. The subsection “Fund Risks” includes risks that
are particularly applicable to Funds. However, depending on a Fund’s investment strategy the risks found in the
other subsections may be applicable to the Fund. Additional risks specific to certain Programs are also included
below.
While JPMPI seeks to manage the accounts, investment strategies and Programs so that risks are appropriate to
the strategy, it is often impossible or not desirable to fully mitigate risks. Any investment includes the risk of loss
and there can be no guarantee that a particular level of return will be achieved. Clients should understand that
they could lose some or all of their investment and should be prepared to bear the risk of such potential losses.
Clients should not rely solely on the descriptions provided below. Clients should carefully read all applicable
informational materials and governing documents prior to selecting a strategy. Clients are urged to ask questions
regarding risk factors applicable to a particular strategy or investment product, read all product-specific risk
disclosures, and determine whether a particular strategy is suitable for their account in light of their specific
circumstances, investment objectives, and financial situation.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. The investment
performance and success of any particular investment cannot be predicted or guaranteed, and the value
of a client’s investments will fluctuate due to market conditions and other factors. Investments are
subject to various risks, including but not limited to market, liquidity, currency, economic, and political
risks, and will not necessarily be profitable. Past performance of investments is not indicative of future
performance.
I. General Risks
Many of the risks defined below apply to assets within the Program accounts or the Fund or SMA/Model Manager.
40
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
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 any one strategy may underperform in comparison to 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, U.S. government debt ceiling negotiations,
embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other
governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. The U.S. and other governments
may renegotiate their global trade relationships and impose or threaten to impose significant import tariffs. The
implementation of tariffs, trade restrictions, currency controls, or similar measures (including retaliatory actions)
could result in price volatility and overall declines in U.S. and global investment markets. In addition, the value of
a strategy'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 or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences.
The effects of a global event to public health and business and market conditions may have a significant negative
impact on the performance of the separately managed accounts and J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund investments,
increase separately managed account and fund volatility, exacerbate preexisting political, social, and economic
risks to separately managed accounts and J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds, 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 a global event that affect the instruments in which
a separately managed account or J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways
that could have a significant negative impact on such account or fund’s investment performance. The ultimate
impact of any global event and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact
a separately managed account or J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund will also depend on future developments, which
are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
Valuation Risk
The net asset value of a portfolio as of a particular date may be materially greater than or less than its net asset
value that would be determined if a portfolio’s investments were to be liquidated as of such date. For example, if
a portfolio was required to sell a certain asset or all or a substantial portion of its assets on a particular date, the
actual price that a portfolio would realize upon the disposition of such asset or assets could be materially less
than the value of such asset or assets as reflected in the net asset value of a portfolio. Volatile market conditions
could also cause reduced liquidity in the market for certain assets, which could result in liquidation values that are
materially less than the values of such assets as reflected in the net asset value of a portfolio.
41
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Volatility Risk
The prices of a portfolio’s investments can be highly volatile. Price movements of assets are influenced by, among
other things, interest rates, general economic conditions, the condition of the financial markets, developments or
trends in any particular industry, the financial condition of the issuers of such assets, changing supply and
demand relationships, programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and
economic events and policies.
Regulatory Risk
There have been legislative, tax, and regulatory changes and proposed changes that may apply to the activities
of JPMPI that may require legal, tax and regulatory changes, including requirements to provide additional
information pertaining to a client account to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)or other taxing authorities.
Regulatory changes and restrictions imposed by regulators, self-regulatory organizations and exchanges vary
from country to country and may affect the value of client investments and their ability to pursue their investment
strategies. Any such rules, regulations and other changes, and any uncertainty in respect of their implementation,
may result in increased costs, reduced profit margins and reduced investment and trading opportunities, all of
which would negatively impact performance.
Key Personnel Risk
If one or more key individuals become unavailable to JPMPI, including any of the portfolio managers of an
investment strategy, who are important to the management of the portfolio’s assets, the portfolio could suffer
material adverse effects, including substantial share redemptions that could require the portfolio to sell portfolio
securities at times when markets are not favorable.
Risks Associated with the Use of Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Tools
J.P. Morgan relies on programs and systems that utilize AI, machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and other
data science technologies ("AI Tools"). AI Tools are highly complex, and may be flawed, hallucinate, reflect biases
included in the data on which such tools are trained, be of poor quality, lack transparency, infringe on the
intellectual property rights of others, or be otherwise harmful. J.P. Morgan typically incorporates human oversight
including through the standards and policies that define the governance framework, to reduce the risk of acting
on potentially defective outputs. AI Tools present Data Sources Risk, Cybersecurity Risk, and Model Risk (as
described below). The U.S. and global legal and regulatory environment relating to the use of AI Tools is uncertain
and rapidly evolving, and could require changes in JPMPI’s implementation of AI Tools and increase compliance
costs and the risk of non-compliance. Further, J.P. Morgan uses AI Tools developed by third parties, and J.P.
Morgan may have limited visibility over the accuracy and completeness of such AI Tools.
Data Sources Risk
Although J.P. Morgan obtains data, including alternative data, and information from third-party sources that it
considers to be reliable, J.P. Morgan does not warrant or guarantee the availability, accuracy, timeliness, and/or
completeness of any data or information provided by these sources. J.P. Morgan has controls for certain data,
42
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
that, among other things, consider the representations of such third parties with regard to the provision of data in
compliance with applicable laws. J.P. Morgan does not make any express or implied warranties of any kind with
respect to such third-party data. J.P. Morgan shall not have any liability for any errors or omissions in connection
with any data obtained from third-party sources.
J.P. Morgan often uses data feeds from a number of sources. If such data feeds or formats become corrupted,
compromised, or discontinued in any material manner, or become undeliverable or inaccessible in a timely
manner, the tool utilizing the data will be unable to properly function or its operation may be adversely impacted.
The tool's ability to use the data may also be adversely impacted by any change in the format of data delivered
or acquired by the tools. The timeliness and quality of a third-party’s data may be compromised for a variety of
reasons, some of which are outside of the control of J.P. Morgan and the third-party data provider. A tool’s ability
to process data may also be adversely affected if J.P. Morgan experiences any disruptions to its computing
resources or network connections, including disruption of cloud-based computing resources.
Cybersecurity Risk
As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, J.P. Morgan has become more
susceptible to operational and financial risks associated with cybersecurity, including: theft, loss, misuse, fraud,
improper release, corruption and destruction of, or unauthorized access to, confidential, personal, or highly
restricted data relating to J.P. Morgan and its clients, and compromises or failures to systems, networks, devices
and applications, including but not limited to AI Tools and cloud-based computing resources relating to the
operations of J.P. Morgan and its service providers. Cybersecurity risks can result in financial losses to J.P.
Morgan and its clients; the inability of J.P. Morgan to transact business with its clients; delays or mistakes in
materials provided to clients; the inability to process transactions with clients or other parties; violations of privacy
and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, and reputational damage; and compliance and remediation costs, legal
fees and other expenses. J.P. Morgan’s service providers (including any sub-advisers, administrators, transfer
agents, and custodians or their agents), financial intermediaries, the companies in which client accounts and
funds invest, and parties with which J.P. Morgan engages in portfolio or other transactions also may be adversely
impacted by cybersecurity risks in their own businesses, which could result in losses to J.P. Morgan or its clients.
While measures have been developed that are designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity, there
is no guarantee that those measures will be effective, particularly since J.P. Morgan does not directly control the
cybersecurity defenses or plans of its service providers, financial intermediaries and companies in which they
invest or with which they do business. Use of AI Tools may lead to increased risks of cyberattacks or data breaches
and the ability to launch more automated, targeted, and coordinated attacks, due to the vulnerability of AI
technology to cybersecurity threats.
Model Risk
Some strategies can include the use of various proprietary quantitative or investment models. Investments
selected using models may perform differently than expected as a result of changes from the factors’ historical –
and predicted future - trends, and technical issues in the implementation of the models, including, for example,
issues with data feeds. Moreover, the effectiveness of a model may diminish over time, including as a result of
43
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
changes in the market and/or changes in the behavior of other market participants. A model’s return mapping is
based partially on historical data regarding particular economic factors and securities prices. The operation of a
model, similar to other fundamental, active investment processes, may result in negative performance, including
returns that deviate materially from historical performance, both actual and pro-forma. For a model-driven
investment process – and again similar to other, fundamental, and active investment processes, there is no
guarantee that the use of models will result in effective investment outcomes for clients.
Intellectual Property and Technology Risks Involved in International Operations
There can be risks to technology and intellectual property that can result from conducting business outside the
United States. This is particularly true in jurisdictions that do not have comparable levels of protection of corporate
proprietary information and assets such as intellectual property, trademarks, trade secrets, know-how and
customer information and records. As a result, JPMPI can be more susceptible to potential theft or compromise
of data, technology and intellectual property from a myriad of sources, including direct cyber intrusions or more
indirect routes such as companies being required to compromise protections or yield rights to technology, data or
intellectual property in order to conduct business in a foreign jurisdiction.
II. Risks that Apply Primarily to Equity Investments
Equity Securities Risk
Strategies that invest in equity securities (such as stocks), or when selecting Funds or SMA/Model Managers that
invest in equity securities, such strategies will be more or less volatile and carry more risks than some other forms
of investment. 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 will generally
result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for a 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 an
account or a Fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of an account or
the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in that Fund decreases in value.
Growth Investing Risk
Growth investing attempts to identify companies that the Adviser believes will experience rapid earnings growth
relative to value or other types of stocks. The value of these stocks generally is much more sensitive to current
or expected earnings than stocks of other types of companies. Short-term events, such as a failure to meet
industry earnings expectations, can cause dramatic decreases in the growth stock price compared to other types
of stock. Growth stocks may trade at higher multiples of current earnings compared to value or other stocks,
leading to inflated prices and thus potentially greater declines in value.
Value Investing Risk
Value investing attempts to identify companies that according to the portfolio manager’s estimate of their true
worth, are undervalued, or attractively valued. The portfolio manager selects stocks at prices that it believes are
44
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
temporarily low relative to factors such as the company’s earnings, cash flow or dividends. A value stock can
decrease in price or not increase in price as anticipated by the portfolio manager if other investors fail to recognize
the company’s value or the factors that the portfolio manager believes will cause the stock price to increase do
not occur.
Smaller Companies Risk
Certain strategies, Funds or SMA/Model Managers invest in securities of smaller companies. Investments in
smaller companies are generally riskier than investments in larger companies. The securities of smaller
companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. Securities of
smaller companies tend to be less liquid than securities of larger companies. In addition, small companies are
generally more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, the changes in value of their
securities may be more sudden or erratic than in large capitalization companies, especially over the short term.
Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a
few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than
large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of an account’s
investments. Finally, emerging companies in certain sectors may not be profitable and may not realize earning
profits in the foreseeable future.
III. Risks that Apply Primarily to Fixed Income Investments
Interest Rate Risk
“Interest rate risk” refers to the risk associated with market changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes may
affect the value of a debt instrument indirectly (especially in the case of fixed rate securities) and directly
(especially in the case of instruments whose rates are adjustable). Fixed rate securities increase or decrease in
value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. On
the other hand, if rates fall, the value of these investments generally increases. Securities with greater interest
rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. Variable and floating
rate (i.e., adjustable) securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments,
but the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as
much, as general interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise. Some examples include
governmental and tax policies, central bank monetary policy (such as an interest rate increase by the Federal
Reserve), domestic and international economic and political considerations, fiscal deficits, trade surpluses or
deficits, regulatory requirements, rising inflation rates, general economic conditions, and other factors beyond the
control of JPMPI. It is difficult to accurately predict the pace at which interest rates will change, or the timing,
frequency or magnitude of any such changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets
to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for securities.
45
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Interest rate sensitivity is generally more pronounced and less predictable in instruments with uncertain payment
or prepayment schedules. This risk will be greater for long-term securities than for short-term securities. While for
certain accounts JPMPI may from time to time seek to hedge interest rate risks (including through investments in
treasury securities or derivative instruments), there is no assurance that such measures, to the extent
implemented, will be effective.
Credit Risk
There is a risk that issuers and/or counterparties will not make payments on securities and instruments when due
or will default completely. Such default could result in losses. In addition, the credit quality of securities and
instruments may be lowered if an issuer’s or a counterparty’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality
may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security or instrument, affect liquidity and make it difficult to sell the
security or instrument. Certain strategies may invest in securities or instruments that are rated in the lowest
investment grade category. Such securities or instruments are also considered to have speculative characteristics
similar to high yield securities, and issuers or counterparties of such securities or instruments are more vulnerable
to changes in economic conditions than issuers or counterparties of higher grade securities or instruments. Prices
of fixed income securities will be adversely affected, and credit spreads will increase if any of the issuers of or
counterparties to such investments are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit
spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration of an
issuer 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.
Government Securities Risk
Some strategies invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and
instrumentalities (such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the Federal National
Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)). U.S.
government securities are subject to General Market Risk, Interest Rate Risk and Credit Risk. Securities, such
as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or 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.
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 principal and interest. Securities issued by U.S. government-related
organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support.
High Yield Securities Risk
Certain strategies invest in securities and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged,
less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments (known as junk bonds) are considered speculative
46
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes, valuation
difficulties and potential illiquidity.
Equity Investment Conversion Risk
A non-equity investment, such as a convertible debt obligation, may convert to an equity security. Alternatively,
equity securities may be acquired in connection with a restructuring event related to non-equity investments. An
investor may be unable to liquidate the equity investment at an advantageous time from a pricing standpoint.
Municipal Obligations Risk
The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a
municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments
when due. A number of municipalities have had significant financial problems recently, and these and other
municipalities could, potentially, continue to experience significant financial problems resulting from lower tax
revenues and/or decreased aid from state and local governments in the event of an economic downturn. Under
some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality
authorizes money for that purpose. Some securities, including municipal lease obligations, carry additional risks.
For example, they may be difficult to trade or interest payments may be tied only to a specific stream of revenue.
Municipal bonds may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of
economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax
collections as a result of lower home values, lower sales tax revenue as a result of consumers cutting back
spending, and lower income tax revenue as a result of a higher unemployment rate. In addition, since some
municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to an investor could
increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the
institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization.
If such events were to occur, the value of the security could decrease or the value could be lost entirely, and it
may be difficult or impossible for an investor to sell the security at the time and the price that normally prevails in
the market.
Interest on municipal bonds is generally exempt from federal income tax. The interest payments may also be
exempt from state and local taxes if you reside in the state where the bond is issued. If a client invests in municipal
bonds in a state other than the state of the client’s residence, the client may not receive the state income tax
benefits. Additionally, the interest rate for municipal bonds is usually lower than on taxable fixed income securities
such as corporate bonds. Clients investing in municipal bonds should consider consulting a tax professional to
discuss the tax implications of investing in municipal bonds, including the possibility that the bonds may be subject
to the federal alternative minimum tax and may not be eligible for state income tax benefits.
Credit Spread Risk
Credit spread risk is the risk that a change in credit spreads will adversely affect the value of an investment. Even
when a market exists, there may be a substantial credit spread, which is the difference in yield between two fixed
47
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
income instruments that have similar maturity but different credit quality. The value of fixed income instruments
generally moves in the opposite direction of credit spreads. Values decrease when credit spreads widen and
increase when credit spreads narrow.
Call Risk
Declining interest rates may cause issuers to call their bonds in order to sell new bonds paying lower interest
rates. The bond’s principal is repaid early, but the investor is left unable to find a similar bond with as attractive a
yield.
Reinvestment Risk
Investors in callable bonds may not receive the bond’s original coupon rate for the entire term of the bond, and
they may be unable to find an equivalent investment paying rates as high as the original rate. In addition, once
the call date has been reached, the stream of a callable bond’s interest payments is uncertain and any
appreciation in the market value of the bond may not rise above the call price.
Prepayment and Extension Risk
Callable bonds and asset-backed securities (a pool of fixed income securities backed by a package of assets,
including, but not limited to, mortgages, automobile loans and credit card receivables) are also subject to
prepayment and extension risk. A decline in interest rates and other factors may result in unexpected prepayment
of the underlying obligations, possibly causing a decline in the value of the investment and reinvestment at lower
interest rates. An increase in interest rates and other factors may extend the life of such a security because the
prepayments do not occur as expected, possibly causing a decline in the value of the investment. Since JPMPI’s
fees apply to the total market value of the assets under management, in a low interest rate environment the net
investment return on fixed income investments could be negative.
Income Risk
An account’s income will decline when interest rates fall if it holds a significant portion of short duration securities
and/or securities that have floating or variable interest rates. Further, an account’s income could decline if it invests
in lower-yielding bonds, as bonds in the portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called.
IV. Other Miscellaneous Risks
Liquidity Risk
Investments in some equity and privately placed securities, structured notes or other instruments can be difficult
to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the sale of these illiquid securities at an advantageous price or when
desired. A lack of liquidity can also cause the value of investments to decline and the illiquid investments can also
be difficult to value.
48
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Additionally, there may be no market for a fixed income instrument, and the holder may not be able to sell the
security at the desired time or price. Even when a market exists, there may be a substantial difference between
the secondary market bid and ask prices for a fixed income instrument.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk
Certain strategies engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction
costs, and the recognition that capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that are
generally taxable as ordinary income.
Derivatives Risk
Funds in a client portfolio may use derivatives. Derivatives, including forward currency contracts, futures, options
and commodity-linked derivatives and swaps, may be riskier than other types of investments because they may
be more sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions, and could result in losses that significantly
exceed the investor’s original investment in the derivative. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing a
portfolio to be more volatile than it would have been if it had not been exposed to such derivatives. Derivatives
also expose a portfolio 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, an investor
does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not
perform as expected, so an investor may not realize the intended benefits. The possible lack of a liquid secondary
market for derivatives and the resulting ability to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose a
portfolio to losses. Additionally, certain derivatives are subject to position limits imposed by regulators, and JPMPI
will not be able to obtain additional exposure if these limits are reached. When used for hedging, the change in
value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with what is being hedged. In addition, given their complexity,
derivatives expose an investor to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.
Geographic and Sector Focus Risk
Certain strategies and funds concentrate their investments in a region, small group of countries, an industry or
economic sector, and as a result, the value of the portfolio will generally be subject to greater volatility than a more
geographically or sector diversified portfolio. Investments in issuers within a country, state, geographic region,
industry or economic sector that experiences adverse economic, business, political conditions or other concerns
will impact the value of such a portfolio more than if the portfolio’s investments were not so concentrated. A change
in the value of a single investment within the portfolio may affect the overall value of the portfolio and may cause
greater losses than it would in a portfolio that holds more diversified investments.
Diversification Risk
JPMPI’s asset allocation and model portfolio construction processes assume that diversification is beneficial. This
concept is a generally accepted investment principle, although no amount of diversification can eliminate
49
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
investment risk, and the investment returns of a diversified portfolio may be lower than a more concentrated
portfolio or a single investment over a similar period.
Focused Portfolio Risk
A focused portfolio investment strategy’s portfolio will generally have more volatility risk than a strategy that
invests in securities of a greater number because changes in the value of an individual security will have a more
significant effect, either negative or positive, on the portfolio’s value. To the extent that the portfolio invests its
assets in fewer securities, the portfolio is subject to greater risk of loss if any of those securities lose value.
Counterparty Risk
Transactions, including but not limited to certain derivative transactions, covered agency transactions, and over-
the-counter (“OTC”) transactions, entered into directly with a counterparty are subject to the risk that the
counterparty will make an error or otherwise fail to perform its obligations in accordance with the agreed terms
and conditions of the transaction which may result in the account sustaining losses including but not limited to
overdraft charges. In addition, an account may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it
deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange traded or off-exchange
transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many
protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearing house,
might not be available in connection with OTC transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which an account
enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its
obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. This includes where accounts enter into uncollateralized
covered agency transactions and derivatives transactions.
Currency Risk
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of certain portfolio securities. Generally, when
the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency
loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation
of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of
any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities
markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of a portfolio.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk
Investments in securities of foreign issuers denominated in foreign currencies are subject to risks in addition to
the risks of securities of U.S. issuers. These risks include political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war,
greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or
other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transactions costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls
on investment, liquidity risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign
markets. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with
50
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
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,” which may have relatively
unstable governments and less-established market economies than those of developed countries. Emerging
markets may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. These risks make emerging
markets market securities more volatile and less liquid than securities issued in more developed countries.
LIBOR Discontinuance Risk
The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks
may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. After the global financial
crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed based on a
number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no longer be
representative of the underlying markets. New or alternative reference rates have since been used in place of
LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR,”
which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of U.S dollar overnight borrowings
collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (“SONIA,” which is intended to replace
pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets
are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a result of the benchmark reforms, publication of all
LIBOR settings has ceased, and JPMPI and the funds and accounts it manages have generally transitioned to
successor or alternative reference rates as necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most
instruments has been completed, 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, which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity or return on certain of a
fund’s or other client account’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments comprising some
or all of a fund’s or other client account’s portfolio and result in costs incurred in connection with changing
reference rates used for positions, closing out positions and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR
to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a fund or a client account or their investments.
Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party market participants,
such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain service providers; no
assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a fund or other client account or
their investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs (e.g.,
Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the
subject of recent regulatory reform.
Risks That Apply Primarily to ESG / Sustainable Investing Strategies
To the extent a client desires to invest in strategies that incorporate ESG considerations or sustainable investing,
those strategies may include additional risks. ESG or sustainable investing strategies (together, “ESG
Strategies”), including SMAs, mutual funds and ETFs can limit the types and number of investment opportunities
and, as a result, could underperform other strategies that do not have an ESG or sustainable focus. ESG
Strategies can follow different approaches. For example, some ESG Strategies select companies based on
51
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
positive ESG characteristics while others may apply screens in order to exclude particular sectors or industries
from a client’s portfolio. Certain strategies focusing on a particular theme or sector can be more concentrated in
particular industries or sectors that share common characteristics and are often subject to similar business risks
and regulatory burdens. Because investing on the basis of ESG/sustainability criteria can involve qualitative and
subjective analysis, there can be no assurance that the methodology utilized by or determinations made by,
JPMPI, or an investment manager or investment adviser selected by JPMPI, will align with the beliefs or values
of the client. Additionally, other investment managers and investment advisers, including affiliates of JPMPI can
have a different approach to ESG or sustainable investing and can offer ESG Strategies that differ from the ESG
Strategies offered by JPMPI with respect to the same theme or topic. In addition to the ESG Strategies, J.P.
Morgan also offers investment products that utilize ESG criteria in developing the product while seeking to
maximize financial return.
When evaluating investments, an investment manager or investment adviser is dependent upon information and
data that might be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could cause the manager/adviser to incorrectly
assess an investment’s ESG or sustainable attributes. In making investment decisions, JPMPI uses data and
information, including but not limited to, industry classifications, industry grouping, ratings, scores and issuer
screening provided by third-party data providers, or by a J.P. Morgan-affiliated service provider. J.P. Morgan does
not review, guarantee or validate any third-party data, ratings, screenings or processes. Such data and information
will not have been validated by J.P. Morgan and can therefore be incomplete or erroneous.
ESG and sustainable investing are not uniformly defined concepts and scores or ratings may vary across data
providers that use similar or different screens based on their process for evaluating ESG characteristics.
Investments identified by JPMPI as demonstrating positive ESG characteristics might not be the same
investments identified by other investment managers in the market that use similar ESG screens or
methodologies. In addition, investments identified as demonstrating positive ESG characteristics at a particular
point in time might not exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics across all relevant metrics or
methodologies or on an ongoing basis. ESG or sustainable investing practices differ by asset class, country,
region and industry and are constantly evolving. As a result, a company’s ESG or sustainability-related practices
and JPMPI’s assessment of such practices could change over time.
The ESG or sustainable solutions offered by JPMPI meet our internally developed criteria for inclusion in the ESG
Strategies available to clients, which, where applicable, take into account ESG or sustainable investing
regulations. As part of the due diligence process, the manager solutions team of JPMPI or its affiliates applies an
eligibility framework that establishes a sustainable investing minimum criteria for determining the universe of
strategies offered to clients. Strategies that satisfy the sustainable investing eligibility criteria also are subject to
the same due diligence and performance review process as all other strategies. Accordingly, these strategies can
be selected by JPMPI, in its discretion and as appropriate, for inclusion in any client portfolio.
The evolving nature of sustainable finance regulations and the development of jurisdiction-specific legislation
setting out the regulatory criteria for a “sustainable investment” or “ESG” investment mean that there is likely to
be a difference in the regulatory meaning of such terms. This is already the case in the European Union where,
52
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
for example, under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (EU) (2019/2088) (“SFDR”) certain criteria
must be satisfied in order for an investment to be classified as a “sustainable investment”. Unless otherwise
specified and where permitted by applicable law, any references to “sustainable investing” or “ESG” in this material
are intended as references to our internally developed criteria only and not to any jurisdiction-specific regulatory
definition.
Category Restrictions and Exclusions Risks
Restrictions and exclusions can affect the investment manager’s ability to make investments or take advantage
of opportunities that may be available to clients that do not choose similar restrictions and, as a result, investment
performance could suffer. In order to implement category restrictions, JPMPI may rely on information about a
company, industry classification, industry grouping and/or issuer screening provided by J.P. Morgan or an affiliated
service provider or a third-party. Category restrictions aim to screen companies that engage in certain behaviors
or earn revenue derived from a restricted category; however they do not exclude all companies with any tie or
revenue derived from such restricted category. If a client holds an investment that is perceived to belong to the
restricted category, such security will be sold and could trigger a taxable event for that client.
Third-party managers or programs may apply category restrictions differently than J.P. Morgan or its affiliates and
use different data, data providers and methodologies; therefore, the selection of restricted securities and the
number of restricted securities may differ in the same category. Category restrictions require assumptions,
opinions and the subjective judgment of a data provider that might not reflect J.P. Morgan’s views or values and/or
the views or values of the client. Further, use of a particular data source from an organization does not mean that
J.P. Morgan endorses all the activities of that organization. Additionally, data providers will have conflicts of interest
when receiving compensation from or providing services to companies that use or obtain their ratings. JPMPI
does not review, guarantee or validate any third-party data, ratings, screenings or processes. Moreover, issuer
screenings and processes to implement category restrictions are not absolute and could be discontinued or
changed at any time, including but not limited to, changes to industry sector definitions, parameters, ownership
categories, revenue calculations and estimations that could result in the portfolio holding investments in
companies that derive revenue from the restricted category. If there is a change in the screening methodology or
processes used to implement category restrictions, it could lead to trading in the account, which could trigger a
taxable event.
The application of category restrictions varies by asset class. Restrictions are not available for all strategies and
JPMPI or third-party manager can reject a restriction if it deems the restriction to be unreasonable or not in line
with the strategy. The number of restrictions that a client can select are limited based on the potential impact to
the applicable strategy and potential deviation from the strategy’s model. Only those restrictions that can be
applied by JPMPI or third-party manager will be applied to the client’s portfolio. Any faith-based restrictions will
exclude multiple categories selected by a third-party provider based generally on the values and norms of such
groups; however, such restrictions will not completely represent or fully align with the client’s values or religious
beliefs.

For client accounts that can hold Funds, clients cannot prohibit or restrict JPMPI from investing in specific
securities or types of securities that are held within any Fund. Category restrictions will not be applied to strategies
that invest only in Funds, nor will they be applied to investments made by Funds, so it is possible that client
restrictions would not have any practical effect on an account comprised primarily of Fund investments.
Tax Risks and Risks That Apply to Tax Harvesting and Tax Managed Strategies
Account transactions may give rise to tax liability for which a client is responsible. Funds may make large
distributions of income and capital gains to investors at various times in a calendar year, and the client will be
liable for taxes on such distributions without regard to the date of the client’s investment in a portfolio.
Tax Harvesting (as defined below) will cause your account holdings to differ from those accounts that do not utilize
Tax Harvesting, and therefore your account performance will differ. There is no guarantee that Tax Harvesting will
perform as expected or that specific benefits will be obtained for any particular client. The implementation of Tax
Harvesting may have an adverse effect on investment performance and result in adverse tax consequences
including but not limited to gains derived from the sale of the security held during the wash sale period. Further,
the tax consequences of Tax Harvesting may be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service or any other tax
authority.
Neither JPMPI nor its representatives or affiliates offer tax or accounting advice or services and the client should
not solicit or rely upon any such advice from them. J.P. Morgan and its affiliates do not provide tax advice and
clients should consult their own tax professional with respect to the impact of Tax Harvesting and the federal,
state and local tax consequences of investing in any portfolio, including, without limitation, the potential application
and impact of Section 1091 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the corresponding Treasury
regulations (the “wash sale rules”) with respect to their portfolio and their accounts with or outside of J.P. Morgan.
The client is responsible for complying with all applicable tax rules, including, but not limited to, the wash sale
rules and clients are responsible for all tax consequences attributable to the disallowance of any losses under the
wash sale rules. Further, certain investments may generate unwanted excise taxes, income taxes and penalties
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, any or all of which may affect the client’s return on
investment and, if applicable, a client’s tax-exempt status.
Tax Harvesting. As part of its investment management services, J.P. Morgan has the ability to sell certain
investments at a gain or loss to potentially offset a client’s tax liability (“Tax Harvesting”) at its discretion.
Additionally, for certain strategies on certain platforms, clients can request that J.P. Morgan engage in Tax
Harvesting on their behalf. While utilizing Tax Harvesting, a client’s account holdings can differ from those
accounts that do not utilize Tax Harvesting, and therefore the client’s performance will likely differ. J.P. Morgan
has limitations on the Tax Harvesting requests that it can accommodate and may or may not accept a client’s
request for Tax Harvesting, in whole or in part, at its discretion.
Generally, Tax Harvesting entails a repurchase of the sold security after the “wash sale” (i.e., 30-day) period.
Generally, under the wash sales rules, if a client sells a security for a loss and the client repurchases the same
(or a substantially identical) security either 30 days before or 30 days after the date of the sale, the loss is
54
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
disallowed. The wash sale rules apply to transactions in not only that account but also to transactions in all other
accounts held by the client, the client’s spouse and certain entities controlled by them (“related parties”), whether
these accounts are held with JPMS or its affiliates for other financial institutions. JPMPI will not necessarily
consider trading activity in these other securities accounts, and it is the client’s responsibility to comply with the
wash sale rules with respect to such accounts. Additionally, incorrect assumptions about a client’s tax attributes
and transactions outside of the account being managed may lead to inefficient tax management.
Assets will generally be invested in Funds during the wash sale period. Funds are investment companies and
have certain embedded costs, including portfolio management fees, of which the client will bear a proportionate
share while invested in the Fund. Such costs are in addition to other advisory or management fees charged to
the client. The client is responsible for understanding the merits and consequences of Tax Harvesting.
Tax Managed Strategies. There are risks and limitations associated with any tax aware or tax managed strategies
(each such strategy, a “Tax Managed” strategy), and these limitations may result in tax-inefficient trades and
wash sales. Tax management is not tax advice and may not achieve the intended results. Although a Tax Managed
strategy may reduce a client’s taxable income, it will not eliminate it. A Tax Managed strategy may require trade-
offs that reduce pre-tax income. Managing a strategy to maximize after-tax returns may also potentially have a
negative effect on a strategy’s performance. As a result of tax considerations, the portfolio may dispose of certain
securities or fail to acquire certain securities, which could adversely impact pre-tax returns. In addition, the
deductibility of losses recognized within the portfolio may be subject to certain limitations depending on your
particular circumstances, such as investments you make outside the portfolio and the aggregate net capital losses
you recognize during the year. You should speak with your own tax adviser regarding the proper treatment of
transactions in the portfolio. To the extent tax consequences are considered in managing a strategy, the strategy’s
or Fund’s pre-tax performance may be lower than that of a similar strategy that is not tax-managed.
REITs Risk
The value of real estate securities in general, and REITs in particular, are subject to similar risks as direct
investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will be influenced by many factors including the value
of the underlying properties or the underlying loans or interests. The underlying loans may be subject to the risks
of default or of prepayments that occur later or earlier than expected and such loans may also include so-called
"subprime" mortgages. The value of these securities will rise and fall in response to many factors, including
economic conditions, the demand for rental property, interest rates and, with respect to REITs, the management
skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. In particular, the value of these securities may decline when interest rates
rise and will also be affected by the real estate market and by the management of the underlying properties. There
is no public trading market for private or public non-listed REITs; therefore, such REITs may be less illiquid than
publicly-listed REITs and other types of equity securities.
Infrastructure Investments Risk
Investing in infrastructure and infrastructure-related assets is subject to a variety of risks, including: the burdens
of ownership of infrastructure; local, national, and international economic conditions; the supply and demand for
55
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
services from and access to infrastructure; the financial condition of users and suppliers of infrastructure assets;
risks related to construction, regulatory requirements, labor actions, health and safety matters, government
contracts, operating and technical needs, capital expenditures, demand and user conflicts, bypass attempts,
strategic assets, changes in interest rates, and the availability of funds that may render the purchase, sale or
refinancing of infrastructure assets difficult or impracticable; troubled infrastructure assets; changes in
environmental laws and regulations, and planning laws and other governmental rules; regulatory risks; ESG-
related risks of environmental claims arising in respect of infrastructure acquired with undisclosed or unknown
environmental problems or as to which inadequate reserves have been established; changes in energy prices;
changes in fiscal and monetary policies; negative developments in the economy that depress travel; changes in
market and societal sentiment toward traditional energy infrastructure or otherwise the growth in demand, globally
and by jurisdiction, for renewable and other alternative energy sources; climate-related transition risk; stranded
asset risk; political risk; commodity price risk; uninsured casualties; force majeure acts, wars/conflicts, terrorist
events, cyberattacks, pandemics and/or public health emergencies; under-insured or uninsurable losses; stability
of local and/or global financial system; and other factors that are beyond the reasonable control of the investor
and its advisers. Many of these factors could cause fluctuations in usage, expenses, and revenues, causing the
value of infrastructure and infrastructure-related investments to decline and negatively affect the collective returns
on such investments.
V. Fund Risks
Investment in Funds
An investment in Funds is subject to the risks associated with the investment program of the particular Fund, as
outlined in Sections I-IV above. The investment performance of client accounts that implement their strategies by
investing in underlying Funds is directly related to the performance of the underlying Funds. There is no assurance
that the underlying Funds will achieve their investment objectives. Clients will bear their proportionate share of
the underlying Funds’ expenses.
Fund Liquidity Risk
A Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments
or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio
securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating
downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio
positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can increase the
volatility of a Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will
not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions,
an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among
other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income
securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate
environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income
mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity.
56
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Fund Management Risk
A Fund is subject to management risk if it is actively managed because it does not seek to replicate the
performance of a specified index. Each Fund manager and its portfolio managers will utilize proprietary
investment processes, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there can be no
guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory, or tax
developments may affect the investment techniques available to the fund managers in connection with managing
a Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of a Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk
If a 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.
Completion Fund Risk (Six Circles Funds)
An investment in the Six Circles Funds is not designed to be a complete investment program. It is intended to be
part of a broader investment program administered by JPMPI or its affiliates. The Fund is managed to take into
account the investment goals of the broader investment program and therefore changes in value of a Six Circles
Fund may be particularly pronounced and the Fund may underperform a similar fund managed without
consideration of the broader investment program.
Multi-Manager Risk (Six Circles Funds)
For the Six Circles Funds, a Fund’s performance depends on JPMPI’s investment skill and its skill in selecting,
overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to sub-advisers. The sub-advisers’ investment styles may not always be
complementary. The sub-advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment decisions independently of one
another), and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that a sub-adviser
may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that another sub-adviser sells the same security, resulting
in higher transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result; or that several sub-advisers
purchase the same security at the same time, without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher
transaction costs. The Fund’s sub-advisers may underperform the market generally, underperform other
investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund and/or underperform private investment funds
with similar strategies managed by the sub-advisers. Subject to the overall supervision of the Fund’s investment
program by JPMPI, each sub-adviser is responsible, with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages,
for compliance with the Fund’s investment strategies and applicable law.
ETFs and Index Mutual Funds
ETFs and index mutual funds are marketable securities that are interests in registered funds, and are designed
to track, before fees and expenses, the performance or returns of a relevant basket of assets, usually an
underlying index. The index may be published or calculated by affiliates of JPMPI. Unlike mutual funds, an ETF
57
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
trades like a common stock on a stock exchange. ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they are
bought and sold. ETFs typically have higher daily liquidity and lower fees than mutual fund shares.
Physical replication and synthetic replication are two of the most common structures used in the construction of
ETFs and index mutual funds. Physically replicated ETFs and index mutual funds buy all or a representative
portion of the underlying securities in the index that they track. In contrast, some ETFs and index mutual funds
do not purchase the underlying assets but gain exposure to them by use of swaps or other derivative instruments.
In addition to the general risks of investing in funds, there are specific risks to consider with respect to an
investment in ETFs, including, but not limited to:
• Variance from Benchmark Index. ETF and index mutual fund performance may differ from the
performance of the applicable index for a variety of reasons. For example, ETFs and index mutual funds
incur operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the benchmark index, may not
be fully invested in the securities of their indices at all times, or may hold securities not included in their
indices. In addition, corporate actions with respect to the equity securities underlying ETFs and mutual
funds (such as mergers and spin-offs) may impact the variance between the performances of the funds
and applicable indices.
• Passive Investing Risk. Passive investing differs from active investing in that ETF and index mutual fund
managers are not seeking to outperform their benchmark. As a result, managers may hold securities that
are components of their underlying index, regardless of the current or projected performance of the
specific security or market sector. Passive managers do not attempt to take defensive positions based
upon market conditions, including declining markets. This approach could cause a passive vehicle’s
performance to be lower than if it employed an active strategy.
• Secondary Market Risk. ETF shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices.
Although ETFs are required to calculate their NAV on a daily basis, at times the market price of an ETF’s
shares may be more than the NAV (trading at a premium) or less than the NAV (trading at a discount).
Given the differing nature of the relevant secondary markets for ETFs, certain ETFs may trade at a larger
premium or discount to NAV than shares of other ETFs depending on the markets where such ETFs are
traded. The risk of deviation from NAV for ETFs generally is heightened in times of market volatility or
periods of steep market declines. For example, during periods of market volatility, securities underlying
ETFs may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate
accurately the NAV per share of such ETFs, and the liquidity of such ETFs may be adversely affected.
This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem
shares in ETFs. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which
market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of ETFs. As a result, under these circumstances,
the market value of shares of an ETF would vary substantially from the NAV per share of such ETF, and
the client may incur significant losses from the sale of ETF shares.
• Tracking the Index. Certain funds track financial indices in which J.P. Morgan retains various intellectual
property rights. As a result, J.P. Morgan may be entitled to receive index licensing fees from unaffiliated
58
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
licensees of these indices. Affiliates of JPMPI may develop or own and operate stock market and other
indices based on investment and trading strategies developed by such affiliates. Affiliates of JPMPI may
also assist unaffiliated entities in creating indices that are tracked by certain ETFs or certain client
accounts utilized by JPMPI. Some of the ETFs advised by affiliates of JPMPI (“J.P. Morgan ETFs”) seek
to track the performance of certain of these indices. In addition, J.P. Morgan may manage client accounts
that track the same indices used by the J.P. Morgan ETFs or that may be based on the same, or
substantially similar, strategies that are used in the operation of the indices and the J.P. Morgan ETFs.
The operation of the indices, the J.P. Morgan ETFs and client accounts in this manner may give rise to
potential conflicts of interest. For example, client accounts that track the same indices used by the J.P.
Morgan ETFs may engage in purchases and sales of securities relating to index changes to a time
different to the implementation of index updates or J.P. Morgan ETFs engaging in similar transactions
because the client accounts may be managed and rebalanced on an ongoing basis, whereas the J.P.
Morgan ETFs’ portfolios are only rebalanced on a periodic basis corresponding with the rebalancing of
an index. These differences may result in the client accounts having more or less favorable performance
relative to that of the index and the J.P. Morgan ETFs or other client accounts that track the index.
Furthermore, J.P. Morgan may, from time to time, manage client accounts that invest in these J.P. Morgan
ETFs. Other potential conflicts include the potential for unauthorized access to index information,
allowing index changes that benefit JPMPI or other client accounts and not the investors in the ETFs and
index mutual funds. J.P. Morgan has established certain information barriers and other policies to
address the sharing of information between different businesses within J.P. Morgan, including with
respect to personnel responsible for coordinating the development and governance of the indices and
those involved in decision-making for the ETFs and index mutual funds.
Liquid Alternative Funds
Liquid Alternative Funds typically can invest in assets such as global real estate, commodities, derivatives,
leveraged loans, start-up companies, unlisted securities, and other investments that offer exposure beyond
traditional stocks, bonds, and cash. These funds provide a source of returns with a low correlation with the
performance of traditional asset classes, such as equities and bonds.
Hedge funds often engage in leveraging, short selling, derivatives, and other speculative investment practices
that increase the risk of a complete loss of a client’s investment. Hedge funds often charge performance fees in
addition to management fees.
Liquid Alternative Funds utilize strategies similar to hedge funds, but are subject to regulatory limits on illiquid
investments, leveraging, and amounts that may be invested in any one issuer. However, Liquid Alternative Funds
can trade more frequently and generally will hold more non-traditional investments and employ more complex
trading strategies than traditional mutual funds. Liquid Alternative Funds often have higher total expense ratios
compared to traditional mutual funds plus higher annual operating expenses. Higher fees will negatively impact
performance compared to traditional mutual funds. Unlike hedge funds, Liquid Alternative Funds generally cannot
charge performance fees in addition to management fees. Liquid Alternative Funds also offer daily liquidity.
Although Liquid Alternative Funds can offer diversification within a relatively liquid and accessible structure, they
59
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
do not have the same type of returns as other alternative investments. The risk characteristics of Liquid
Alternative Funds can be similar to those generally associated with other alternative investments. In addition to
the usual market and investment-specific risks of traditional mutual funds, Liquid Alternative Funds may carry
additional risks based on the strategies they use and the underlying investments made by the Liquid Alternative
Funds. These strategies may target specific returns or benchmarks, and seek to mitigate or provide exposure to
alternative asset classes.
In general, Liquid Alternative Funds are speculative investments that have the potential for significant loss of
principal. Investments in Liquid Alternative Funds are only available to certain clients who meet applicable
eligibility and suitability requirements and in circumstances approved by JPMS. Because Liquid Alternative Funds
involve speculative strategies, clients should fully understand the terms, investment strategy, and risk associated
with such Funds. For example, the use of aggressive investment techniques, such as futures, forward contracts,
swap agreements, derivatives, and options, can increase a Liquid Alternative Fund’s volatility and carries a high
risk of substantial loss.
Prospectus Delivery
A discretionary investment adviser can receive prospectuses and other issuer-related materials on behalf of a
client for any Funds in a client’s account with client authorization. The adviser, as a client’s agent, will have access
to the prospectuses and issuer-related materials and can rely upon them to make Fund investments on the
client’s behalf; however clients will no longer receive such prospectuses or issuer-related materials directly, but
can access them via the issuer’s website or request copies from the adviser at any time. Prospectuses and
issuer-related materials contain important information and detailed descriptions of additional fees and expenses,
investment minimums, risk factors and conflicts of interest disclosures, as well as client’s rights, responsibilities
and liabilities with respect to such investments. Additionally, this Brochure contains other general information
regarding fees and expenses, risk factors and conflicts of interest.
VI. JPMCAP and CSP-Specific Risk
Tactical Allocations
For JPMCAP and CSP, JPMPI generally has discretion to make short to intermediate term tactical allocations
that increase or decrease the exposure to asset classes and investments. As a result of these tactical allocations,
a client account may deviate from its strategic target allocations at any given time. A client account’s tactical
allocation strategy may not be successful in adding value, may increase losses to the account or fund and/or
cause the account or fund to have an investment strategy different than that portrayed in the client account’s
strategic asset allocations from time to time.
VII. JPMGAP-Specific Risks
VIT Fund Risks
An investment in the Funds available in the JPMGAP Models and under the Annuity Contract are subject to the
risks associated with the investment program of the particular Fund, as outlined in Sections I-IV above, as well
60
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
as the risks of Funds in general, outlined in Section V above. However, the VIT Funds available in the JPMGAP
Models are not publicly available mutual funds. They are a series of Variable Insurance Trusts (VITs) and only
available as investment options in variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life
insurance companies, or in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.
The investment advisers of the underlying mutual funds may manage publicly available mutual funds with similar
names and investment objectives. However, the underlying mutual funds are not the same as any publicly
available mutual fund and the performance of a publicly available fund should not be compared with the
performance of underlying mutual funds under the Annuity Contract. The performance of the underlying mutual
funds could differ substantially from that of any publicly available funds.
Variable Annuity Risk
A variable annuity is a deferred annuity that provides investment returns based on the performance of sub-
accounts. Variable annuities can lose value based on market performance. Before purchasing a variable annuity,
the Annuity Contract’s prospectus must be reviewed in detail for all the features, risks, and benefits. Annuities
are not FDIC insured and all guarantees are subject to the claims-paying ability of the insurance company.
Annuity Contracts are subject to federal income tax penalties for withdrawals prior to age 59½.

On or about July 28, 2016, Respondents entered into a Consent Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Indiana
Securities Division (“ISD”). The Respondents consented to the entry of the Agreement that alleged that certain
conduct of the Respondents was outside the standards of honesty and ethics generally accepted in the securities
trade and industry, in violation of 710 Ind. Admin. Code§ 4-10-1(23) (2016). Specifically, the Agreement alleged
that, between 2008 and 2013, JPMS failed to disclose to Indiana investors that certain proprietary mutual funds
purchased for CSP clients offered institutional shares that were less expensive than the institutional shares JPMS
chose for CSP clients. In addition, the Agreement alleged that, from February 2011 to January 2014, no account
opening document or marketing materials disclosed to Indiana investment management account clients or Indiana
J.P. Morgan Investment Portfolio clients that JPMCB preferred to invest client assets in proprietary mutual funds,
and that between 2008 and January 2014, JPMCB did not disclose its preference for investing certain investment
61
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
management account assets in certain proprietary hedge funds to Indiana clients. Lastly, the Agreement alleged
that, JPMCB did not disclose its preference for placement-agent-fee-paying third-party hedge fund managers in
certain investment management accounts to Indiana clients until August 2015. Solely for the purpose of settling
these proceedings, the Respondents consented to the Agreement, with no admissions as to liability. In the
Agreement, the Respondents agreed to pay a total of $950,000 to resolve the ISD’s investigation, which was paid
on August 1, 2016.
On March 9, 2020, JPMS entered into an Agreed Order (“Order”) with the Kentucky Department of Financial
Institutions. JPMS consented to the entry of the Order that alleged that JPMS failed to disclose conflicts of interest
arising from preferences for J.P. Morgan-managed mutual funds (“Proprietary Mutual Funds”), in violation of
KRS 292.320 and 808 KAR 10:450§2(8)(c) and (11)(a). Specifically, the Order alleged that, between 2008 and
2013, JPMS failed to disclose to Kentucky investors that (i) CSP was designed and operated with a preference
for Proprietary Mutual Funds, (ii) there was an economic incentive to invest CSP assets in Proprietary Mutual
Funds as a result of discounted pricing for services provided to JPMS for CSP by a JPMS affiliate, and (iii) until
November 2013, JPMS failed to disclose to CSP clients the availability of certain less expensive Proprietary
Mutual Fund share classes. Solely for the purpose of settling these proceedings, JPMS consented to the Order,
with no admissions as to liability. In the Agreement, JPMS agreed to pay a total of $325,000 to resolve the
Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions investigation.
In September 2020, JPMS, together with JPMC and JPMCB (collectively, “JPMorgan”) agreed to an
administrative resolution with the CFTC for violations of the CEA and CFTC regulations related to manipulation,
attempted manipulation and spoofing, as well as a charge against JPMS for failure to supervise. As described in
the CFTC’s Order, from at least 2008 through 2016, former JPMorgan traders placed hundreds of thousands of
spoof orders of precious metals futures and U.S. treasuries (“UST”) futures on exchanges, and, on occasion,
engaged in manipulation related to precious metals barrier options. The CFTC Order further states that JPMS
failed to identify, adequately investigate, and put a stop to misconduct, despite red flags, including internal
surveillance alerts, inquiries from CME and the CFTC, and internal allegations of misconduct. JPMorgan
consented to the entry of the CFTC Order without admitting or denying the findings contained therein, except to
the extent that admissions were made in the related resolutions, described below, with the United States
Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Fraud Section, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of
Connecticut (together, “DOJ”) and the SEC. JPMS also agreed to an administrative resolution with the SEC for
violations of Section 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant to the SEC Order, JPMS admitted to
hundreds of manipulative trading events involving spoofing by certain former JPMorgan traders in the UST cash
securities secondary market between April 2015 and January 2016. JPMC separately entered into a deferred
prosecution agreement (“DPA”) with DOJ with respect to a criminal information, charging JPMC with two counts
of wire fraud (the “Information”) related to the same conduct underlying the CFTC and SEC Orders. JPMS and
JPMCB also agreed to certain terms and obligations of the DPA. JPMorgan admitted, accepted, and
acknowledged responsibility for the acts of its officers, directors, employees, and agents as described in the
Information and the Statement of Facts accompanying the DPA, and that the allegations described therein are
true and accurate. In resolving these three actions, JPMorgan agreed to pay a total of $920,203,609 to DOJ,
62
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088

agreed to cease and desist from any further violations, and also agreed, among other things, to certain
cooperation, remediation, and reporting requirements.

under three separate exemptions: CFTC Rules 4.7 (exemption from certain part 4 requirements), 4.5 (exclusion
for certain otherwise regulated persons from the definition of commodity pool operator) and 4.13 (exemption from
registration as a commodity pool operator), and CFTC Advisory 18-96 (relief from certain disclosure, reporting,
and recordkeeping requirements for offshore commodity pools). JPMPI is also a member of the National Futures
Association (the "NFA"). In addition, certain of JPMPI’s management persons are registered with the NFA as an
"associated person" of JPMPI, as necessary or appropriate to perform their responsibilities.
C.
Material Relationships or Arrangements with Industry Participants
JPMPI manages accounts on behalf of its affiliates, which creates conflicts of interest related to JPMPI’s
determination to use, suggest, or recommend the services of such affiliates. The particular services involved will
depend on the types of services offered by the affiliate. The use of affiliates to provide services to clients creates
certain conflicts of interest for JPMS, JPMIM and JPMPI. Among other things, there are financial incentives for
JPMS, JPMIM and JPMPI (and their affiliates), including its parent company, JPMC, to favor affiliated service
providers over non-affiliated service providers, and compensation of supervised persons of JPMS, JPMIM and
JPMPI generally is directly or indirectly related to the financial performance of J.P. Morgan. , JPMPI has several
relationships or arrangements with related persons that are material to its investment advisory business or to
clients in the Programs. Below is a description of such relationships and some of the conflicts of interest that arise
from them. JPMPI has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to appropriately prevent, limit or
mitigate conflicts of interest that may arise between JPMPI and its affiliates. These policies and procedures
include information barriers designed to prevent the flow of information between JPMPI and certain other affiliates,

JPMS is dually registered as a broker-dealer and an investment adviser with the SEC. JPMS acts as sponsor for
Programs. JPMS typically provides custody and equity trade execution services to the Program clients. JPMPI
has an incentive to offer the Programs through an affiliated sponsor because the affiliate earns more money.
However, JPMS does not receive any additional brokerage commissions from its wrap clients when JPMPI places
trades for those clients with JPMS. Additionally, JPMPI does not receive any additional fees or compensation
from placing trades for these JPMS sponsored wrap accounts with JPMS. JPMS is also registered as a Futures
Commission Merchant (“FCM”) with the CFTC. Certain directors and officers of JPMPI are also officers of JPMS.
JPMPI utilizes JPMS for various services subject to applicable laws and regulations and the policies and
procedures of JPMPI.
(2) investment company or other pooled investment vehicle (including a mutual fund, closed-end
investment company, unit investment trust, private investment company or “hedge fund,” and offshore
fund)
JPMPI provides investment advice and/or administrative functions for private investment funds organized as
limited partnerships, limited liability companies, or offshore companies and currently serves as sub-adviser to
certain RICs for which JPMIM serves as investment adviser. Currently, JPMPI has entered into sub-advisory
arrangements with JPMIM to provide the day-to-day investment decisions for certain of the RICs, including the
selection of funds for the aforementioned, which may include J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. Refer to “Use of J.P.
Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest” in Item 11.B below. JPMPI
also acts as the investment adviser to open-end mutual funds (i.e., Six Circles Funds) and to closed-end RICs
(i.e., J.P. Morgan Access Multi-Strategy Funds). Refer to Item 10.D and Item 11 for more information on material
conflicts of interest relating to JPMPI’s advisory services.
(3) other investment adviser or financial planner
JPMPI's affiliate, JPMIM, is the investment adviser or sub-adviser for various J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds,
including funds organized under the laws of other countries and jurisdictions. JPMIM is the primary adviser to a
U.S. mutual funds complex as well as separately managed accounts. JPMPI often recommends and invests
Program client accounts in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and separately managed accounts which creates a
conflict of interest because JPMPI affiliates benefit from increased allocations to the J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds
and to its separately managed accounts, and JPMDS and other affiliates receive distribution, placement,
administration, custody, trust services or other fees for services provided to such funds.

March 27, 2026
JPMPI's affiliate, J.P. Morgan Wealth Management Solutions Inc., ("WMS") provides implementation and overlay
services to clients of JPMS for certain advisory programs. WMS and/or other affiliates of WMS share personnel
with JPMPI and provide other investment and non-investment resources to JPMPI. JPMPI’s supervised persons
also have duties and obligations outside of JPMPI to WMS and/or JPMPI’s other affiliates. Personnel sharing
can result in conflicts of interest to the extent such personnel have substantive responsibilities outside of JPMPI.
For example, the resources available to JPMPI may be impacted by such personnel’s other responsibilities to
WMS or its affiliates. JPMPI has policies and procedures to address these conflicts. To the extent WMS or its
affiliates share personnel with JPMPI, such personnel generally will be treated as supervised persons of JPMPI
for compliance purposes with respect to that portion of their roles and responsibilities that directly relates to
JPMPI’s business.
Additionally, as described in Item 10.C(4), JPMCB also provides investment advice to JPMCB’s private bank
clients who can also be investors in JPMPI-advised funds.
In addition, JPMPI engages certain foreign affiliated advisers that are not registered as investment advisers with
the SEC to provide non-discretionary advice, including manager selection and analysis or asset allocation
discussions, to JPMPI for use with its U.S. clients (a "Participating Affiliate Arrangement"). A Participating
Affiliate Arrangement is structured in accordance with a series of SEC no-action letters requiring that participating
affiliates remain subject to the regulatory supervision of both JPMPI and the SEC in certain respects. Currently,
JPMPI has a Participating Affiliate Arrangement with J.P. Morgan SE, London Branch.
(4) banking or thrift institution
J.P. Morgan, JPMPI’s parent company, is a public company that is a bank holding company registered with the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). J.P. Morgan is subject to supervision
and regulation by the Federal Reserve and is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Bank Holding
Company Act and related regulations.
JPMCB is a national banking association. JPMCB is subject to supervision and regulation by the U.S. Department
of Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. JPMCB provides banking, investment management,
trustee, custody, and other services to clients. JPMCB also provides custody, or administrative services to funds
sponsored or managed by J.P. Morgan. JPMCB and/or other affiliates of JPMCB share personnel (including
investment advisory, research, legal, compliance, investor relations, marketing, technology, accounting, back
office, human resources, IT, risk management, and administrative personnel) with JPMPI and provide other
investment and non-investment resources to JPMPI. A substantial number of JPMPI’s supervised persons also
have duties and obligations outside of JPMPI to JPMCB and/or JPMPI’s other affiliates. Personnel sharing can
result in conflicts of interest to the extent such personnel have substantive responsibilities outside of JPMPI. For
example, the resources available to JPMPI may be impacted by such personnel’s other responsibilities to JPMCB
or its affiliates. In addition, it may be more difficult for JPMPI to supervise such personnel and to monitor the
communications and activities of such personnel. JPMPI has policies and procedures to address these conflicts.
To the extent JPMCB or its affiliates share personnel with JPMPI, such personnel generally will be treated as
65
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
supervised persons of JPMPI for compliance purposes with respect to that portion of their roles and
responsibilities that directly relates to JPMPI’s business.
D.
Material Conflicts of Interest Relating to Other Investment Advisers
JPMPI has described certain conflicts of interest related to other investment advisers in Items 11 and 12 below.
Share Classes and Mutual Fund Fees
Mutual funds typically offer different ways to buy shares with different share classes that may assess different
fees and expenses. JPMS strives to make available the most appropriate share class on the platform for each
fund, with the goal of generally obtaining the lowest cost share class. However, for certain funds, the share classes
with the lowest fee structures are not available in a particular Program (e.g., (1) the fund family restricts access
to these share classes or (2) JPMS does not have an agreement with the fund to distribute the share class in the
Programs). Clients should be aware that the share class of a fund available through the Programs can differ from
the share class available to similar accounts managed by or held at JPMS or its affiliates, and that certain lower
cost fund share classes can be available outside of the Programs. Clients should contact their Advisor(s) for
information about any limitations on share classes available through the Programs. JPMS through its brokerage
accounts have other arrangements with fund companies that are described in the relevant brokerage documents.
JPMS and its affiliates receive fees or other forms of compensation from the funds (including money market
funds), or their affiliates. JPMS believes that this conflict is addressed in the following ways:
•
12b-1 Distribution Fees: JPMS receives fees from certain funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (“12b-1 Distribution Fees”). Rule 12b-1 allows funds to use fund
assets to pay the costs of marketing and distribution of the fund’s shares. If JPMS receives 12b-1
Distribution Fees, it will rebate these fees to its advisory clients.
• Other Fees: JPMS enters into agreements with the funds, their investment managers, distributors,
principal underwriters, shareholder servicing agents and/or other affiliates of the funds. The funds or their
service providers pay J.P. Morgan fees for providing certain administrative services, which include
maintaining and updating separate records for each client, preparing and delivering client statements, tax
reporting, proxy voting and solicitation, processing purchase and redemption orders, processing
dividends, distributing prospectuses and other fund reports, and responding to client inquiries. These fees
for these services are typically called “shareholder servicing fees,” when paid for by the fund; however
these fees can be referred to as “revenue sharing” when they are paid by the fund service provider from
its own resources (together referred to as “Servicing Fees”). As of December 31, 2025, the Servicing
Fees that JPMS received for non-money market funds were up to 25 basis points annually of the fund
assets, or a rate of up to $20 per year per fund position; however, these amounts can change. The receipt
by JPMS of these fees creates a conflict of interest in the selection of funds for accounts because the
fees are different among funds. Similarly, JPMS has a conflict to recommend mutual funds that pay
Servicing Fees instead of ETFs or other securities or products that do not pay any Servicing Fee. The
JPMPI portfolio managers, who are responsible for managing or recommending investments for Program
66
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
accounts do not receive any direct financial benefit from the Servicing Fees. To that extent, such JPMPI
portfolio managers are incentivized to invest in or recommend securities they believe will increase the
value of the account. JPMS does not retain any portion of those fees for retirement advisory accounts.
When evaluating the fees for, and cost of, a Program, clients should consider the Servicing Fees that
JPMS receives in addition to the investment advisory fees. Clients can also request a fund prospectus
for additional information regarding fund fees.
Currently, with respect to JPMGAP, none of the Funds available through the Annuity Contract pay 12b-1
Distribution Fees and JPMS and its affiliates do not receive Servicing Fees from the Funds or their affiliates in
connection with JPMGAP. To the extent JPMS would receive 12b-1 Distribution Fees from any Fund, it will rebate
these fees to the client. Refer to the Annuity Contract prospectus for information on types of payments the
Insurance Company receives from the Funds.
Once a particular share class is made available for a particular fund in a Program, only that share class can be
purchased for that fund. Mutual funds will be purchased in the account at net asset value (no-load or load-waived)
and ETFs at their market price. JPMS periodically reviews the share classes offered by funds in the Programs,
but also relies on the fund families to inform JPMS when and if these share classes will be made available. If
JPMS identifies and makes available a class of shares for a fund more appropriate than the class of shares
previously made available for the fund, to the extent allowed, JPMS will convert client shares in the fund to that
more appropriate share class of the same fund, or in the case of JPMGAP, will work with the insurance company
to make that share class available through the Annuity Contract and move client investments to that more
appropriate share class of the same fund. Operational and other considerations can affect the timing of the
conversion of shares, and can cause the timing or implementation of such conversions to differ between clients.
Some of the fund share classes available through the Programs are not necessarily available outside of such
Programs. To the extent an account is terminated, clients may not be eligible to continue to hold or purchase
certain share classes offered in a Program outside of such Program, as well as outside the firm.
Refer to “Other Compensation from Funds” in Item 11.B below.
ITEM 11
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A.
Code of Ethics
JPMPI has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act.
The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that JPMPI and its supervised persons comply with applicable federal
securities laws and place the interests of their clients before their own personal interests at all times. The Code
of Ethics imposes certain restrictions on securities transactions in the personal accounts of supervised persons
to help avoid or mitigate conflicts of interest, as described more fully below. A copy of the Code of Ethics is
available free of charge to any client or prospective client upon request by contacting a client service
representative or financial advisor.
67
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
(i)
General
The Code of Ethics contains policies and procedures relating to:
• Account holding reports and personal trading, including reporting and preclearance requirements for all
personnel of JPMPI;
• Confidentiality obligations to clients set forth in the J.P. Morgan privacy notices; and
• Conflicts of interest, which includes guidance relating to restrictions on trading on material, nonpublic
information (“MNPI”).
In general, the personal trading rules under the Code of Ethics require that accounts of JPMPI personnel be
maintained with an approved broker and that certain trades in reportable securities for such accounts be pre-
cleared and monitored by compliance personnel. The Code of Ethics also prohibits certain types of trading activity,
such as short-term and speculative trades. JPMPI personnel must obtain approval prior to engaging in all covered
security transactions, including those issued in private placements. In addition, JPMPI personnel are not permitted
to buy or sell securities issued by J.P. Morgan during certain periods throughout the year. Certain Access Persons
(defined as persons with access to nonpublic information regarding JPMPI’s recommendations to clients,
purchases, or sales of securities for client accounts and advised funds) are prohibited from executing personal
trades in a security at certain times. In addition, Access Persons are required to disclose household members'
personal security transactions and holdings information. These disclosure obligations and restrictions are
designed to mitigate conflicts of interest that arise if Access Persons transact in the same securities as advisory
clients.
Additionally, all JPMPI personnel are subject to the J.P. Morgan firm-wide policies and procedures including those
found in the J.P. Morgan Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”). The Code of Conduct sets forth restrictions
regarding confidential and proprietary information, information barriers, private investments, outside business
activities and personal trading. All J.P. Morgan employees, including JPMPI personnel, are required to familiarize
themselves with, comply with, and attest annually to their compliance with the provisions of the Code of Conduct’s
terms as a condition of continued employment.
Where appropriate, JPMPI and its affiliates generally address the conflicts disclosed in this Brochure through
policies and procedures.
(ii)
Information Barrier Policies
JPMS and the Private Bank (“wealth management”) maintain various types of internal information barriers and
other policies that are designed to prevent certain information from being shared or transmitted to other business
units within wealth management or between JPMIM and wealth management, and within J.P. Morgan more
broadly. JPMPI relies on these information barriers to protect the integrity of its investment process and to comply
with fiduciary duties and regulatory obligations. JPMPI also relies upon these barriers to mitigate potential
conflicts, to preserve confidential information and to prevent the inappropriate flow of MNPI and confidential
information to and from JPMPI and to other J.P. Morgan lines of business. MNPI is information not generally
68
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
disseminated to the public that a reasonable investor would likely consider important in making an investment
decision. This information is received voluntarily and involuntarily and under varying circumstances, including, but
not limited to, upon execution of a non-disclosure agreement, as a result of serving on the board of directors of a
company, serving on ad hoc or official creditors' committees and participation in risk, advisory or other committees
for various trading platforms, clearinghouses and other market infrastructure-related entities and organizations.
JPMPI’s information barriers include: (1) written policies and procedures to limit the sharing of MNPI and
confidential information on a need to know basis only, and (2) various physical, technical and procedural controls
to safeguard such information. As a result of information barriers, JPMPI generally will not have access, or will
have limited access, to information and personnel in other areas of J.P. Morgan, and generally will not manage
the client accounts and funds with the benefit of information held by these other areas.
Under certain circumstances, JPMPI and/or its affiliates will decide that transactions in a particular security need
to be restricted and therefore JPMPI and/or its affiliates will determine that the security should be placed on a
“restricted list.” While the security is on the restricted list, JPMPI typically prohibits purchases, sales, or all
transactions in the security. The reasons for placing a security on the restricted list include, but are not limited to:
(i) preventing JPMPI from exceeding regulatory investment limitations with respect to the securities of companies
in certain regulated industries, such as insurance companies and public utilities, (ii) avoiding a concentration in
any particular security, (iii) buttressing an information barrier by preventing the appearance of impropriety in
connection with trading decisions or recommendations, and (iv) preventing the use or appearance of the use of
inside information.
B.
Securities in Which JPMPI or a Related Person Has a Material Financial Interest and Other Conflicts of
Interest
J.P. Morgan Acting in Multiple Commercial Capacities
J.P. Morgan is a diversified financial services firm that provides a broad range of services and products to its
clients and is a major participant in the global currency, equity, commodity, fixed income and other markets in
which client accounts in a Program can directly or indirectly invest. J.P. Morgan is typically entitled to
compensation in connection with these activities and the program’s clients will not be entitled to any such
compensation. In providing services and products to clients other than Program clients, J.P. Morgan, from time to
time, faces conflicts of interest with respect to activities recommended to or performed for Program clients on the
one hand and for J.P. Morgan’s other clients on the other hand. For example, J.P. Morgan has, and continues to
seek to develop banking and other financial and advisory relationships with numerous U.S. and non-U.S. persons
and governments. J.P. Morgan also advises and represents potential buyers and sellers of businesses worldwide.
Program client accounts have invested in, or may wish to invest in, such entities represented by J.P. Morgan or
with which J.P. Morgan has a banking, advisory or other financial relationship. Furthermore, in certain
circumstances, J.P. Morgan persons issue recommendations on securities held in accounts advised or sub-
advised by JPMPI that are contrary to the investment activities of JPMPI. In addition, certain clients of J.P. Morgan
invest in entities in which J.P. Morgan holds an interest, including a collective investment trust, or other pooled
investment vehicle managed by a J.P. Morgan affiliate. In providing services to its clients and as a participant in
69
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
global markets, J.P. Morgan from time to time recommends or engages in activities that compete with or otherwise
adversely affect a program client account or its investments. It should be recognized that such relationships can
preclude Program clients from engaging in certain transactions and can also restrict investment opportunities that
would otherwise be available to Program clients. For example, J.P. Morgan is often engaged by companies as a
financial adviser, or to provide financing or other services, in connection with commercial transactions that are
indirectly potential investment opportunities for Program clients. There are circumstances in which advisory
accounts are precluded from participating in such transactions as a result of J.P. Morgan’s engagement by such
companies. J.P. Morgan reserves the right to act for these companies in such circumstances, notwithstanding the
potential adverse effect on Program clients. In addition, J.P. Morgan derives ancillary benefits from providing
investment advisory, custody, administration, and other services to Program clients, and providing such services
to Program clients may enhance J.P. Morgan’s relationships with various parties, facilitate additional business
development and enable J.P. Morgan to obtain additional business and generate additional revenue. The following
are descriptions of certain additional conflicts of interest and potential conflicts of interest that are associated with
the financial or other interests that J.P. Morgan and JPMPI has in transactions effected by, with, or on behalf of
its clients. In addition to the specific mitigants described further below, JPMPI has established information barriers
as described in this Brochure and adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to appropriately prevent,
limit or mitigate conflicts of interest. In addition, many of the activities that create these conflicts of interest are
limited and/or if prohibited by law, are conducted under an available exception.
Conflicts Relating to J.P. Morgan Service Providers
J.P. Morgan provides financing, consulting, investment banking, management, custodial, prime brokerage,
transfer agency, shareholder servicing, treasury oversight, administration, distribution or other services
(“Services”) to its clients, including investment funds, products or companies in which JPMPI invests on behalf
of, or which JPMPI recommends for investment to its clients. These relationships generate revenue to J.P. Morgan
and have the potential to influence JPMPI in deciding whether to select such investment funds, products or
companies for investment by its clients or to recommend such funds, products or companies to its clients, in
deciding how to manage such investments, and in deciding when to sell such investments. For example, J.P.
Morgan earns compensation from private funds or their sponsors for providing certain Services. JPMPI has an
incentive to favor such funds over other funds with which J.P. Morgan has no relationship when investing on behalf
of, or recommending investments to, its clients because such investments potentially increase J.P. Morgan’s
overall revenue. In addition, J.P. Morgan derives ancillary benefits from providing such Services.
Therefore, it is important for clients to know that J.P. Morgan has policies that seek to ensure the receipt of such
compensation as described above does not affect J.P. Morgan’s decisions and recommendations to clients.
Wealth management maintains various types of internal information barriers and other policies that are designed
to prevent certain information from being shared or transmitted to other business units within wealth management
and within J.P. Morgan more broadly. JPMPI relies on these information barriers to protect the integrity of its
investment process and to comply with fiduciary duties and regulatory obligations.
70

File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Client Participation in Offerings where J.P. Morgan acts as Underwriter or Placement Agent
If permitted by a client’s investment objectives, and subject to compliance with applicable law, regulations and
exemptions, JPMPI will purchase securities for client accounts, including new issues, during an underwriting or
other offering of such securities in which a broker-dealer affiliate of JPMPI acts as a manager, co-manager,
underwriter or placement agent and for which the affiliate receives a benefit in the form of management,
underwriting or other fees. Affiliates of JPMPI also act in other capacities in such offerings and such affiliates will
receive fees, compensation, or other benefits for such services.
The commercial relationships and activities of JPMPI’s affiliate may at times indirectly preclude JPMPI from
engaging in certain transactions on behalf of its clients and constrain the investment flexibility of client accounts.
For example, when an affiliate of JPMPI is the sole underwriter of an initial or secondary offering, JPMPI cannot
purchase securities in the offering for its clients. In such case the universe of securities and counterparties
available to JPMPI’s clients will be smaller than that available to clients of advisers that are not affiliated with
major broker-dealers. JPMPI believes that there are adequate amounts of other securities available that will allow
clients to generally meet the same investment performance regardless of the fact that clients are precluded from
investing in certain securities because of affiliate activities.
Conflicts Related to Advisers and Service Providers
Certain advisers or service providers to clients managed by JPMPI (including investment advisers, accountants,
administrators, lenders, bankers, brokers, attorneys, consultants and investment or commercial banking firms)
provide goods or services to, or have business, personal, financial or other relationships with J.P. Morgan and/or
JPMPI, their affiliates, advisory clients and portfolio companies. Such advisers and service providers may be
clients of J.P. Morgan and JPMPI, sources of investment opportunities, co-investors, commercial counterparties,
or entities in which J.P. Morgan has an investment. Additionally, certain employees of J.P. Morgan or JPMPI could
have family members or relatives employed by such advisers and service providers. These relationships could
have the appearance of affecting or could potentially influence JPMPI in deciding whether to select or recommend
such advisers or service providers to perform services for its clients or investments held by such clients (the cost
of which will generally be borne directly or indirectly by such clients).
Capacity and Other Limitations on Investment Positions
JPMPI and its affiliates maintain certain limitations on investment positions (including registered funds) that JPMPI
or its affiliates will take on behalf of its various clients due to, among other things: (i) liquidity concerns, (ii)
regulatory requirements applicable to JPMPI or its affiliates, and (iii) internal policies related to such concerns or
requirements, in light of the management of multiple portfolios and businesses by JPMPI and its affiliates. Such
policies preclude JPMPI or its affiliates from purchasing certain investments for clients, and may cause JPMPI to
sell certain investments held in client accounts. JPMPI is also more likely to select a J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund
in circumstances where it would not be able to invest all desired client assets in a particular non-J.P. Morgan Fund
due to these limitations. This could result in performance dispersion among accounts with similar investment
objectives.
71
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
Clients’ Investments in Affiliated Companies
Subject to applicable law, from time to time JPMPI will include Funds, equity instruments or other securities in
model portfolios, and therefore client accounts that represent an indirect interest in securities of J.P. Morgan,
including J.P. Morgan stock. JPMPI will receive advisory fees on the portion of client holdings invested in such
instruments or other securities and is entitled to vote or otherwise exercise rights and take actions with respect to
such instruments or other securities on behalf of its clients. Generally, such activity occurs when a client account
includes an index strategy that targets the returns of certain indices in which J.P. Morgan securities are a key
component.
Clients’ Investments in Deposit Account
Clients authorize JPMS, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to invest (i.e., sweep) available cash balances
in the JPMorgan Chase Deposit Account (the “Deposit Account”) or one or more money market mutual funds
that are managed by affiliates of JPMS. The Deposit Account is the default “sweep” option for Program clients
who reside in the U.S. and do not select an available “sweep” alternative or if the sweep selected is no longer
available. Investment in a non-proprietary model or a Non-Proprietary Strategy Election to exclude J.P. Morgan
Affiliated Funds does not apply to cash balances held sweep options. JPMCB is a national banking association
affiliated with JPMS and is subject to supervision and regulation by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency.
Cash “swept” or allocated to the Deposit Account is remitted for deposit by JPMS, acting as the client’s agent,
into a demand deposit account maintained at JPMCB. Balances in the Deposit Account are covered by FDIC
insurance, subject to applicable limits, terms and conditions, but are not protected by the Securities Investor
Protection Corporation. JPMS does not review or monitor FDIC insurance limits for clients. Clients are responsible
for monitoring the total amount of deposits that they have with JPMCB to determine the extent of FDIC deposit
insurance coverage available to them on their deposits.
The interest rate on the Deposit Account will vary based on business and economic conditions and is reset
periodically at JPMCB’s sole discretion. The interest rate on the Deposit Account may be higher or lower than
yields on other available cash alternatives (e.g., money market mutual funds). From time to time, JPMPI may
deem it in the client’s best interest to maintain a certain percentage of assets in cash or cash alternatives,
especially when markets are volatile. However, because the wrap fee is charged on the value of all assets in the
account (including cash and cash alternatives), in a low interest rate environment the net investment return on
cash and cash alternatives, including the Deposit Account, will be negative. The current rates and yields for
available cash options for Program accounts, including the Deposit Account, can be found online at
jpmorgan.com/sweep or chase.com/SweepYields. These rates and yields change regularly, so it is prudent to
check this website periodically.
Although there is no charge to clients with respect to the Deposit Account, JPMCB benefits from the Deposit
Account because, through the Deposit Account, JPMCB receives a stable, cost-effective source of funding.
JPMCB uses customer deposits in the Deposit Account to fund current and new businesses, including lending
72
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
activities and investments. The profitability on such lending activities and investments is generally measured by
the difference, or “spread,” between the interest rate paid on the deposits and other costs associated with the
Deposit Account paid by JPMCB, and the interest rate and other income earned by JPMCB on the loans and
investments made with the deposits. The income that JPMCB earns through its lending and investing activities
is usually significantly greater than the interest earned by clients through the Deposit Account. It is typically also
greater than the fee earned by all J.P. Morgan entities from managing and distributing money market mutual
funds available to Program clients. Additionally, JPMCB has agreed to pay JPMS a monthly flat fee for each
account that uses the Deposit Account; however, JPMS is currently waiving receipt of this fee.
Therefore, JPMS and JPMCB have a conflict of interest in offering or utilizing the Deposit Account (and in making
it the default “sweep” option for Program clients residing in the U.S.). JPMS believes that the conflict is addressed
through (i) the fact that Advisors do not receive any additional compensation for assets held in the Deposit Account
as opposed to another cash alternative; (ii) online disclosure of the available cash options and yields; (iii) the
client’s ability to affirmatively select another available “sweep” option and to change the “sweep” option selection
to an available alternative at any time; (iv) the JPMorgan Chase Deposit Account Disclosure provided to the client;
and (v) the client’s ability to obtain the prospectus for each money market mutual fund that is an available
alternative to the Deposit Account.
Due to system limitations for clients of Wealth Advisors, the portfolio managers cannot directly allocate to money
market funds. In a scenario where the portfolio managers directly allocate to a money market fund for clients of
Private Client Advisors, this allocation would go to the Wealth Advisor client’s sweep vehicle thereby increasing
its allocation.
Restrictions Relating to J.P. Morgan Directorships/Affiliations
From time to time, directors, officers and employees of J.P. Morgan, serve on the board of directors or hold another
senior position with a corporation, investment fund manager or other institution that will sell an investment to,
acquire an investment from or otherwise engage in a transaction with, J.P. Morgan. The presence of such persons
in these circumstances will generally require the relevant person to recuse themselves from participating in a
transaction, or cause J.P. Morgan to determine that it (or its client) is unable to pursue a transaction because of
a potential conflict of interest. In such cases, the investment opportunities available to the clients and the ability
of such clients to engage in transactions or retain certain investments or assets will be limited.
Other Compensation from Funds
Certain Funds in which JPMPI may invest account assets will execute transactions for their portfolios through
JPMS or an affiliate as broker-dealer, and JPMS or an affiliate will receive compensation from the Funds in
connection with these transactions. Such compensation presents a conflict of interest between JPMPI and its
clients because JPMPI would have a financial incentive to invest account assets in such Funds: (1) in the hope
or expectation that increasing the amount of assets invested with the Funds will increase the number and/or size
of transactions placed by the Funds for execution by JPMS or an affiliate or other related person, and thereby
73
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
result in increased compensation to JPMS and its affiliates and other related persons in the aggregate; and (2) to
benefit the Funds and thereby preserve and foster valuable brokerage relationships with the Funds.
Payment for Order Flow
JPMS does not receive payment for order flow from market makers for customer orders in equity securities. JPMS
receives rebates from and pays fees to some registered securities exchanges for providing or taking liquidity on
those exchanges, according to those exchanges’ published fee schedules approved by the SEC. Alternative
trading systems also charge fees and, in some cases, pay rebates for the provision or removal of liquidity. In
addition, JPMS receives marketing fees from options exchanges under marketing fee programs sponsored by
some exchanges. Under some circumstances, the amount received by JPMS from a trading center over a period
of time may exceed the amount that JPMS is charged by a trading center. These practices are one of many factors
that may impact routing decisions and do not alter JPMS’ policy to route customer orders in securities to the
trading centers where it believes customers will receive the best execution, taking into account, among other
factors, price, transaction cost, volatility, reliability, market depth, and speed.
Affiliates of JPMS have ownership interests in some trading centers. Accordingly, JPMS stands to share in any
profits that these trading centers earn from the execution of JPMS customer orders on those trading centers.
Additional information on the material aspects of JPMS’ relationships with the primary trading centers to which
JPMS routes, including descriptions of arrangements for payment for order flow and profit-sharing relationships,
is available in JPMS’ SEC Rule 606 reports at jpmorgan.com/OrderExecution.
J.P. Morgan’s Use and Ownership of Trading Systems
JPMS may effect trades on behalf of Program accounts through exchanges, electronic communications networks,
alternative trading systems and similar execution systems and trading venues (collectively, “Trading Systems”),
including Trading Systems in which J.P. Morgan has a direct or indirect ownership interest. J.P. Morgan will receive
indirect proportionate compensation based upon its ownership percentage in relation to the transaction fees
charged by such Trading Systems in which it has an ownership interest. Such Trading Systems (and the extent
of J.P. Morgan’s ownership interest in any Trading System) may change from time to time. JPMPI addresses this
conflict by disclosure to its clients.
Ownership Interest in J.P. Morgan Stock
Certain unaffiliated asset management firms (each, an "unaffiliated asset manager") through their funds and
separately managed accounts currently hold a 5% or more ownership interest in J.P. Morgan publicly traded stock.
Ownership interests in this range or of greater amounts present a conflict of interest when J.P. Morgan purchases
publicly traded securities of the unaffiliated asset manager or invests in funds that are advised by such unaffiliated
asset manager, on behalf of client accounts or J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. J.P. Morgan does not receive any
additional compensation for client accounts' or J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds' investments in publicly traded
securities or funds of an unaffiliated asset manager as a result of its ownership interest in JPMC stock. J.P. Morgan

monitors ownership interests in J.P. Morgan for regulatory purposes and to identify and mitigate actual and
perceived conflicts of interest. As of March 2, 2026, the Vanguard Group, Inc., and BlackRock, Inc. hold more
than a 5% interest in J.P. Morgan.
Use of J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and SMA/Model Managers and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Investment Principles and Potential Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest will arise whenever J.P. Morgan has an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its
management of clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to
the extent the following activities are permitted in the account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment
product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or
managed by J.P. Morgan affiliate, such as JPMIM or JPMPI; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services,
including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result
of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing
services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products
purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with
other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.
Investment strategies (Funds and separately managed accounts) are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-
party asset managers and are subject to a review process by manager solutions teams. From this pool of
strategies, JPMPI’s portfolio construction teams select those strategies JPMPI believes fits its asset allocation
goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio’s investment objective.
As a general matter, JPMPI prefers J.P. Morgan managed strategies. JPMPI expects the proportion of J.P. Morgan
managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-
quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations. JPMPI may allocate a
significant portion of the assets in the Programs to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. That portion varies depending on
market or other conditions.
While JPMPI’s internally managed strategies generally align well with JPMPI’s forward-looking views, and JPMPI
is familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of J.P. Morgan, it is
important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included.
In certain programs, JPMPI offers the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than
cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
The Six Circles Funds are mutual funds advised by JPMPI and sub-advised by third-parties. Although considered
internally managed strategies, neither JPMPI nor its affiliates retain a fee for fund management or other fund
services.

Separately Managed Accounts
Portfolios invested in individual equity or fixed income securities may be managed by JPMPI’s affiliates, or by a
third-party manager, including an affiliate. When JPMPI’s affiliates manage these investments, there is a benefit
to J.P. Morgan since it increases the overall revenue of J.P. Morgan. Additionally, a manager of a separately
managed account may invest in products that may result in additional revenue to J.P. Morgan.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MUTUAL FUNDS AND EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS REGISTERED
UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, AS AMENDED
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds - Management Fees
JPMPI and its affiliates are the sponsor or manager of Funds, including ETFs, that can be purchased for the
client’s portfolio. In such case, JPMPI or its affiliates in most cases will receive a fee for managing such Funds or
for providing other services to such Funds based on the value of the assets invested in the Funds. As such, JPMPI
and its affiliates will receive more total revenue when the client’s portfolio is invested in such Funds than when it
is invested in third-party Funds. When the client’s account is an IRA or is governed by ERISA and can be invested
in J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds, the retirement account will be credited an amount equal to the account's pro rata
share of all such fees paid to J.P. Morgan or its affiliates in connection with the account’s investments in J.P.
Morgan Affiliated Funds.
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and Third-Party Funds - Other Fees and Expenses
All Funds have various internal fees and other expenses, that are paid by managers or issuers of the Funds or
by the Fund itself, but are ultimately borne by the investor. J.P. Morgan may receive administrative and servicing
and other fees for providing services to both J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and third-party funds that are held in the
client’s portfolio (except for when the fund is held in a client’s account that is an IRA or is governed by ERISA).
These payments may be made by sponsors of the Funds (including affiliates of JPMPI) or by the Funds
themselves and may be based on the value of the Funds in the client’s portfolio. Funds or their sponsors may
have other business relationships with J.P. Morgan outside of its portfolio management role or with the broker-
dealer affiliates of J.P. Morgan, which may provide brokerage or other services that pay commissions, fees and
other compensation.
Six Circles Funds
J.P. Morgan developed the J.P. Morgan Six Circles Funds (“Six Circles Funds”) exclusively for use in J.P. Morgan
investment advisory accounts. Since October 2018, the Six Circles Funds have been available in Program
accounts where JPMPI is sub-adviser.
Six Circles Funds are specifically designed for use in discretionary Program accounts as completion funds to align
with J.P. Morgan’s core portfolio views. JPMPI acts as investment adviser to the Six Circles Funds and engages
third-party investment managers as sub-advisers to the Six Circles Funds' investment portfolios. J.P. Morgan will
have certain benefits and efficiencies from investing account assets in the Six Circles Funds instead of unaffiliated
Funds; however, J.P. Morgan does not retain investment advisory fees for managing the Six Circles Funds through
76
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
an agreement to waive any investment advisory fees that exceed the fees owed to Six Circles Funds' third-party
sub-advisers. Six Circles Funds do not pay fees to J.P. Morgan for any other services to the Six Circles Funds.
Services to the Six Circles Funds are provided by third-party service providers and are generally paid by the Six
Circles Funds or J.P. Morgan. (The market value of assets invested in the Six Circles Funds will be included in
calculating the advisory fees paid on the overall portfolio.)
Six Circles Fund shares may only be purchased in Program accounts for which JPMC has investment discretion.
Should the client choose to close its discretionary Program account but retain the interest in Six Circles Funds,
Six Circles Fund shares must be held through an eligible brokerage account and no new purchases into the Six
Circles Funds will be permitted (other than dividend reinvestment). Since the Six Circles Funds are completion
portfolios designed to complement and work as part of the overall discretionary portfolio and are not intended to
be standalone investments, each Six Circles Fund may underperform as a standalone investment, even in
instances where the overall portfolio performs as intended. Further, the overall performance and liquidity of a Six
Circles Fund may be negatively affected, and additional transaction costs may be incurred by the Six Circles
Fund, as a result of (i) allocation decisions made by JPMC to shift discretionary client assets among the Six
Circles Funds and other investments; and (ii) allocation decisions made by JPMC to shift Six Circles Fund assets
among different investment strategies and sub-advisors, which may negatively affect the value of Six Circles Fund
shares even if they are no longer held through a JPMC portfolio.

Allocations of Client Assets to J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds (Including New Funds)
J.P. Morgan has an incentive to allocate assets to new J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds to help it develop new
investment strategies and products. J.P. Morgan could have an incentive to allocate assets of the portfolios to a
J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund that is small, or to which J.P. Morgan has provided seed capital. In addition, J.P.
Morgan has an incentive not to sell or withdraw portfolio assets from a J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund in order to
avoid or delay the sale’s or withdrawal’s adverse impact on the fund. Accounts managed by J.P. Morgan have
significant ownership in certain J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds. J.P. Morgan faces conflicts of interest when
considering the effect sales or redemptions may have on such funds and on other fund shareholders in deciding
whether and when to redeem shares. A large sale or redemption of shares by J.P. Morgan acting on behalf of its
clients could result in the underlying J.P. Morgan Affiliated Fund selling securities when it otherwise would not
have done so, potentially increasing transaction costs and adversely affecting fund performance. A large sale or
redemption could also significantly reduce the assets of the fund, causing decreased liquidity and, depending on
any applicable expense caps, a higher expense ratio, or liquidation of the fund. J.P. Morgan has policies and
77
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
controls in place to govern and monitor its activities and processes for identifying and managing such conflicts of
interest.
Principal and Agency Transactions
Although JPMPI does not do so currently in the Programs described in this Brochure, as permitted by applicable
law (including relevant consent requirements), JPMPI, acting on behalf of its client accounts, from time to time,
can enter into principal transactions with or through J.P. Morgan. A “principal transaction” occurs if JPMPI, acting
on behalf of its client accounts, knowingly buys a security from, or sells a security to, JPMPI’s or its affiliate's own
account.
Although JPMPI does not do so currently in the Programs described in this Brochure, when permitted by
applicable law and JPMPI’s policy (including relevant consent requirements), JPMPI, acting on behalf of its client
accounts, can cause client accounts to engage in cross transactions and agency cross transactions with or
through J.P. Morgan.
A “cross transaction” occurs when JPMPI arranges a transaction between different client accounts where the
client accounts buy and sell securities or other instruments from, or to each other. For example, in some instances
a security to be sold by one client account would independently be considered appropriate for purchase by another
client account. In such cases, JPMPI may, but is not required, to cause the security to be “crossed” or transferred
directly between the relevant accounts at an independently determined market price and without incurring
brokerage commissions, although customary custodian fees and transfer fees would be incurred, no part of such
fees will be received by JPMPI.
An “agency cross transaction” occurs if J.P. Morgan acts as broker for, and receives a commission from a client
account of JPMPI on one side of the transaction and a brokerage account on the other side of the transaction in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities by JPMPI’s client account.
JPMPI faces potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities to the parties in the above transactions,
including with respect to a decision to enter into such transactions as well as with respect to valuation, pricing and
other terms. JPMPI addresses this conflict by ensuring that no such transactions will be effected unless JPMPI
determines that the transaction is in the best interest of each client account and permitted by applicable law.
Potential Conflicts Relating to Valuation
JPMPI does not value securities in the Program client accounts or provide assistance in connection with such
valuation. JPMS, as custodian for the Program client accounts, values securities in such client accounts. There
is an inherent conflict of interest where JPMS, an affiliate of JPMPI, values securities or assets in client accounts
or provides any assistance in connection with such valuation and JPMS is receiving a fee based on the value of
such assets. Overvaluing certain positions held by clients will inflate the value of the client assets as well as the
performance record of such client accounts, which would likely increase the fees payable to JPMS. As a result,
there will be circumstances where JPMS is incentivized to determine valuations that are higher than the actual
fair value of investments. In addition, JPMS may use multiple valuation sources that provide different values for
78
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
a single asset. Furthermore, certain units within J.P. Morgan may assign a different value to identical assets than
JPMS because these units may have certain information regarding valuation techniques and models or other
information relevant to the valuation of a specific asset or category of assets, which they do not share with JPMS.
The various lines of business within J.P. Morgan typically will be guided by specific policies and requirements with
respect to valuation of client holdings. Such policies will include valuations that are provided by third-parties, when
appropriate, as well as comprehensive internal valuation methodologies. As a result, the determination of an
account's asset values may differ for different purposes and different statements, reviews and reports.
On occasion, JPMS utilizes the services of affiliated pricing vendors for assistance with the pricing of certain
securities. In addition, securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or are deemed to be
unreliable, are fair valued in accordance with established policies and procedures. Fair value situations could
include, but are not limited to:
• A significant event that affects the value of a security;
• Illiquid securities;
• Securities that have defaulted or are de-listed from an exchange and are no longer trading; or
• Any other circumstance in which it is determined that current market quotations do not accurately reflect the
value of the security.
C.
Investing in Securities That JPMPI or a Related Person Recommends to Clients
JPMPI and its related persons may recommend or invest in securities on behalf of its clients that JPMPI and its
related persons may also purchase or sell for themselves. As a result, positions taken by JPMPI and its related
persons may be the same as or different from, or made contemporaneously or at different times than, positions
taken for clients of JPMPI. As these situations involve actual or potential conflicts of interest, JPMPI has adopted
policies and procedures relating to personal securities transactions, insider trading, and other ethical
considerations. These policies and procedures are intended to identify and mitigate actual and perceived conflicts
of interest and to resolve such conflicts appropriately if they do occur. The policies and procedures contain
provisions regarding preclearance of employee trading, reporting requirements, and supervisory procedures that
are designed to address potential conflicts of interest with respect to the activities and relationships of related
persons that might interfere or appear to interfere with making decisions in the best interest of clients, including
the prevention of front-running. JPMPI has implemented monitoring systems designed to ensure compliance with
these policies and procedures.
J.P. Morgan’s Proprietary Investments
JPMPI, J.P. Morgan, and any of their directors, partners, officers, agents or employees, also buy, sell or trade
securities for their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI and/or J.P. Morgan. JPMPI and/or J.P.
Morgan, within its discretion, can make different investment decisions and take other actions with respect to their
proprietary accounts than those made for client accounts, including the timing or nature of such investment
decisions or actions. The proprietary activities, investments or portfolio strategies of JPMPI and/or J.P. Morgan
79
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
give rise to a conflict of interest with the transactions and strategies employed by JPMPI on behalf of its clients
and affect the prices and availability of the investment opportunities in which JPMPI invests on behalf of its clients.
Further, JPMPI is not required to purchase or sell for any client account securities that it, J.P. Morgan, and any of
their employees, principals or agents purchase or sell for their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI
or J.P. Morgan. JPMPI, J.P. Morgan, and its respective directors, officers and employees face a conflict of interest
as they will have income or other incentives to favor their own accounts or the proprietary accounts of JPMPI or
J.P. Morgan.
J.P. Morgan’s Policies and Regulatory Restrictions Affecting Client Accounts
As part of a global financial services firm, JPMPI will be precluded from effecting or recommending transactions
in certain client accounts and will restrict its investment decisions and activities on behalf of its clients due to
applicable law, regulatory requirements, other conflicts of interest, information held by JPMPI or J.P. Morgan,
JPMPI’s and/or J.P. Morgan’s roles in connection with other clients and in the capital markets, J.P. Morgan’s
internal policies and/or potential reputational risk. As a result, client accounts managed by JPMPI may be
precluded from acquiring, or disposing of, certain securities or instruments at any time. This includes the securities
issued by J.P. Morgan.
In addition, potential conflicts of interest also exist when J.P. Morgan maintains certain overall investment
limitations on positions in securities or other financial instruments due to, among other things, investment
restrictions imposed upon J.P. Morgan by law, regulation, contract or internal policies. These limitations have
precluded and, in the future could preclude, JPMPI from including particular securities or financial instruments in
its portfolios, even if the securities or financial instruments would otherwise meet the investment objectives of
such portfolio. For example, there are limits on the aggregate amount of investments by affiliated investors in
certain types of securities within a particular industry group that cannot be exceeded without additional regulatory
or corporate consent. If such aggregate ownership thresholds are reached, the ability of a client to purchase or
dispose of investments, or exercise rights or undertake business transactions, will be restricted.
Potential conflicts of interest may also arise as a result of JPMPI’s current policy to seek to manage its clients’
accounts so that the various requirements and liabilities imposed pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (“Section 16” and the “Exchange Act,” respectively) are not triggered. Section 16 applies
to, among other things, “beneficial owners” of 10% or more of any security subject to reporting under the Exchange
Act. In addition to certain reporting requirements, Section 16 also imposes on such “beneficial owner” a
requirement to disgorge of “short-swing” profits derived from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of the
security, executed within a six-month period. JPMPI may be deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of securities held
by its advisory clients. Consequently, and given the potential ownership level of the various accounts and funds
managed by JPMPI for its clients, JPMPI may limit the amount, or alter the timing, of purchases of securities, in
order not to trigger the foregoing requirements. As a result, certain contemplated transactions that otherwise
would be consummated by JPMPI on behalf of its clients will not take place, will be limited in their size or will be
delayed.
80

Furthermore, J.P. Morgan has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with
economic and trade sanctions-related obligations applicable to its activities (although such obligations are not
necessarily the same obligations that its clients may be subject to). Such economic and trade sanctions prohibit
or restrict, among other things, transactions with and the provision of services to, directly or indirectly, certain
countries, territories, entities and individuals. These economic and trade sanctions, together with similar
measures, and the application by JPMPI of its compliance policies and procedures in respect thereof, may restrict
or limit a client’s account’s investment activities. For example, in January 2025, a new “outbound investment”
regime (the “OIR”) took effect in the U.S., which prohibits or requires notification to the U.S. Treasury with respect
to certain transactions involving the People’s Republic of China (inclusive of Hong Kong and Macau, "China")
based or owned companies that operate in specified sectors, including semiconductors and microelectronics,
quantum information technology, and artificial intelligence. Compliance with such restrictions may restrict, limit, or
prevent the Advisor or a client’s account from pursuing certain investments, cause delays or other impediments
with respect to consummating such investments, require notification of such investments to government
authorities, require divestment of investments on unfavorable terms, negatively impact a client account’s ability
to achieve its investment objective or divest from certain investments, restrict participation in certain investments
by certain investors, or increase diligence and other similar costs to a client’s account. Any of these outcomes
could adversely affect a client account’s performance with respect to such investments and the account’s
performance overall. As a result of recent legislation, the scope of these provisions is likely to change, and the
extent of such changes is uncertain. The full effect of these restrictions is unclear and may be unpredictable. In
addition, China or other jurisdictions may implement countermeasures in response to these restrictions, which
could further adversely impact the value or liquidity of client accounts' investments or limit the ability to repatriate
assets.
In addition, J.P. Morgan from time to time subscribes to or otherwise elects to become subject to investment
policies on a firm-wide basis, including policies relating to environmental, social and corporate governance. JPMPI
may also limit transactions and activities for reputational or other reasons, including (i) when J.P. Morgan provides
or may provide advice or services to an entity involved in such activity or transaction, (ii) when J.P. Morgan or a
client is or may be engaged in the same or a related activity or transaction to that being considered on behalf of
the client account, (iii) when J.P. Morgan or a client account has an interest in an entity involved in such activity
or transaction, or (iv) when such activity or transaction on behalf of or in respect of the client account could affect
J.P. Morgan, JPMPI, their clients or their activities. J.P. Morgan may also become subject to additional restrictions
on its business activities that could have an impact on client accounts’ activities. In addition, JPMPI could restrict
its investment decisions and activities on behalf of particular client accounts and not other accounts.

Conflicts of Interest Created by Contemporaneous Trading
Recommendation or Investments in Securities that JPMPI or Its Related Persons may also Purchase or

JPMPI and its related persons may recommend or invest in securities on behalf of its clients that JPMPI and its
related persons may also purchase or sell themselves. Please refer to Item 12 for more information on

Participating Accounts. As a result, positions taken by JPMPI and its related persons will be the same as or
different from, or made contemporaneously or at different times than, positions taken for other accounts by JPMIM
or JPMCB. As these situations involve actual or potential conflicts of interest, JPMPI has adopted policies and
procedures relating to personal securities transactions, insider trading and other ethical considerations. These
policies and procedures are intended to identify and mitigate actual and perceived conflicts of interest with clients
and to resolve such conflicts appropriately if they do occur. The policies and procedures contain provisions
regarding preclearance of employee trading, reporting requirements and supervisory procedures that are
designed to address potential conflicts of interest with respect to the activities and relationships of related persons
that might interfere or appear to interfere with making decisions in the best interest of clients.
Conflicts Related to the Advising of Multiple Accounts
Certain portfolio managers of JPMPI manage or advise multiple client accounts, investment vehicles or portfolios.
These portfolio managers are not required to devote all or any specific portion of their working time to specific
client accounts or investment vehicles. Conflicts of interest do arise in allocating management time, services or
functions among such clients, including clients that have the same or similar type of investment strategies. JPMPI
addresses these conflicts by disclosing them to clients and through its supervision of portfolio managers and their
teams. Responsibility for managing JPMPI’s client accounts is organized according to investment strategies within
asset classes. Generally, client accounts with similar strategies are managed by portfolio managers in the same
portfolio management team using the same or similar objectives, approach and philosophy. Therefore, client
account holdings, relative position sizes, and industry and sector exposures generally tend to be similar across
client accounts with similar strategies. However, JPMPI faces conflicts of interest when JPMPI’s portfolio
managers manage accounts or portfolios with similar investment objectives and strategies. For example,
investment opportunities that are appropriate for certain clients may also be appropriate for other clients, including
the clients of JPMPI, other affiliated investment advisers, and related persons, and as a result client accounts
would have to compete for positions. There is no specific limit on the number of accounts that will be managed or
advised by JPMPI or its related persons. Once held by a client account, certain investments compete with other
investments held by other client accounts of JPMPI and its related persons. The conflict associated with managing
assets on behalf of different clients that compete with each other are heightened when JPMPI retains certain
management, control or consent rights over such assets. JPMPI has controls in place to monitor and mitigate
these potential conflicts of interest.
Also it is JPMPI’s policy, to the extent practicable, to allocate, within its reasonable discretion, investment
opportunities among clients over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis. One or more of JPMPI’s other
client accounts may at any time hold, acquire, increase, decrease, dispose of, or otherwise deal with positions in
investments in which another client account would have an interest. For instance, due to differences in investment
strategies, JPMPI might sell a security for a client at the same time that it might hold or purchase the same
security for a different client.
Positions taken by a certain client account or the accounts of clients of affiliates for whom JPMPI executes trades
can also dilute or otherwise negatively affect the values, prices or investment strategies associated with positions
82
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
held by a different client account. For example, this can occur when investment decisions for one client are based
on research or other information that is also used to support portfolio decisions by JPMPI or an affiliate for a
different client following the same, similar, or different investment strategies or by an affiliate of JPMPI in managing
its clients’ accounts. When a portfolio decision or strategy is implemented for an account ahead of, or
contemporaneously with, similar portfolio decisions or strategies for JPMPI or an affiliate's other client (whether
or not the portfolio decisions emanate from the same research analysis or other information), market impact,
liquidity constraints or other factors could result in one account being disadvantaged or receiving less favorable
investment results than the other account, and the costs of implementing such portfolio decisions or strategies
could be increased.
In addition, it may be perceived as a conflict of interest when activity in one account closely correlates with the
activity in a similar account, such as when a purchase by one account increases the value of the same securities
previously purchased by another account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale
by a second account. Furthermore, if JPMPI or an affiliate manages accounts that engage in short sales of
securities in which other accounts invest, JPMPI or its affiliate could be seen as harming the performance of one
account for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the
securities to fall.
Conflicts Related to Allocation to Affiliate Accounts
Potential conflicts of interest also arise involving both the aggregation of trade orders and allocation of securities
transactions or investment opportunities. Allocations of aggregated trades and allocation of investment
opportunities raise a potential conflict of interest because JPMPI has an incentive to allocate trades or investment
opportunities to certain accounts or funds. Fees earned for accounts managed by affiliates ("Affiliate Accounts")
can be different than fees for the Programs. In addition, the assets under management for individual Affiliate
Accounts are generally higher than the assets under management for individual Program accounts and therefore,
affiliates can receive more gross compensation with respect to Affiliate Accounts than JPMS and JPMPI receive
from Program accounts. This creates a potential conflict of interest for JPMPI and its affiliates or the portfolio
managers by providing an incentive to favor these Affiliate Accounts as to time spent managing such accounts,
placing securities transactions or when allocating securities to clients. JPMPI has established policies, procedures
and practices to manage the conflicts described above to assure that accounts are treated equitably and fairly
over time. Refer to Item 12 below for more information.
ITEM 12
Brokerage Practices
A.
Factors Considered in Selecting or Recommending Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions Broker
Selection
For all Programs except for MFAP and JPMGAP, clients invested in this Program authorize and direct JPMPI, in
the client agreement, to effect transactions for their accounts through JPMS, subject to JPMPI's duty to seek best
execution and JPMS' capacity and willingness to execute the transaction. Although JPMPI has discretion to select
83
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
brokers or dealers other than JPMS, JPMPI primarily places such trades through JPMS because the wrap fee
paid by each wrap program account client only covers execution costs on trades executed through JPMS.
Execution costs include fees paid to exchanges and/or regulatory agencies on certain transactions. Certain
securities included in the clients’ portfolios can be less liquid or are traded infrequently. If faced with a liquidity
constraint, to fulfill its duty to seek best execution of transactions for its clients’ accounts, JPMPI can select
broker-dealers other than JPMS or its affiliates to affect a trade for a wrap program account client and any
execution costs charged by other broker-dealers will be paid by the client’s account.
To fulfill its duty to seek best execution of transactions for client accounts, JPMPI can select other brokers for the
above Programs, for the execution of transactions for client accounts, it does so in accordance with its best
execution policies and procedures. Any execution costs charged by non-JPMS broker-dealers will be paid by the
client account.
In monitoring best execution, JPMPI considers some of the factors below, including:
• The execution venues available for such instruments;
• Price, costs, and commission rates charged;
• Speed of execution or priority placed upon an order by the portfolio manager or client;
• Likelihood of execution and settlement;
• Relative size of the order; and
• Consistent quality of overall service from the counterparty.
When assessing the relative importance of these factors, JPMPI will also consider the characteristics of the client,
the client’s order, and the financial instruments that are subject of the order and the execution venues to which
that order can be directed.
1.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits.
JPMPI does not receive research or other soft dollar benefits in connection with client transactions in the
Programs.
2.
Brokerage for Client Referrals.
JPMPI does not compensate persons for client referrals to the Programs.
3.
Directed Brokerage.
Clients are not permitted to direct brokerage in the Programs.
B.
Order Aggregation
84
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
JPMPI generally aggregates contemporaneous purchase or sale orders of the same security or Fund across
multiple client accounts (the “Participating Accounts”). Pursuant to JPMPI’s trade aggregation and allocation
policies and procedures, JPMPI determines the appropriate facts and circumstances under which it will aggregate
trade orders depending on the particular asset class, investment strategy or type of security or instrument and
timing of order flow and execution. It then will seek to allocate the order fairly and equitably across platforms,
products, strategies within one product, and across accounts, generally on a pro-rata basis.
When Participating Accounts’ orders are aggregated, the orders will be placed with JPMS or if best execution
can be achieved by executing away it will be placed with one or more broker-dealers or other counterparties for
execution. When an order or block trade is not completely filled in one trade and the order is filled at several
different prices, JPMPI generally allocates the securities or other instruments purchased or the proceeds of any
sale pro-rata, subject to odd lots, rounding, and market practice, among the Participating Accounts, based on
such accounts’ relative size.
JPMPI Trading Exceptions
Although aggregating orders and pro-rata allocation is the preferred methodology for processing trades, when
there are large Fund orders, whether purchasing or selling, for a Program (e.g., JPMCAP, CSP, Multi-Manager
Strategies and Personal Advisors Program) or for different strategies within a Program (e.g., conservative,
balanced, growth and aggressive growth investment strategies), the trades are generally not aggregated and
allocated on a pro-rata basis. For example, large Fund orders are not aggregated or allocated on a pro-rata basis
if portfolio management decisions relating to the orders are made separately, or if client orders from certain
Programs or groups of Participating Accounts are not ready to trade at the same time as other Participating
Accounts or if aggregating orders are not practicable from an operational or other perspective. JPMPI’s trading
guidelines for the Funds provide an established mechanism for creating a random trade schedule to determine
the order in which trade instructions are transmitted for each Program or strategy. The trade schedule can be
adjusted based on market circumstances in order to allow a complete Program or strategy to be filled on a
particular trading day. Orders from certain Programs could consistently be processed on a lag from those of others
Programs investing in the same Funds or securities due to a Program’s processing limitations, leading to
divergence in pricing and performance. Orders from certain strategies could be processed at different times and
with different pricing from those of other strategies investing in the same securities.
Additionally, in some instances, trading restrictions imposed by client guidelines might preclude such client from
being included in the aggregation of trades or a pro-rata allocation, in which case the aggregated trades of the
other clients will be executed in advance of the trade for the client account that is precluded.
Adjustments or changes will also be made on a basis other than pro-rata under certain circumstances such as,
but not limited to, cash investments, cash disbursements, operational issues with accounts, the avoidance of odd
lots or small allocations or the satisfaction of account cash flows or the compliance with investment guidelines.

Where there is an exception to pro-rata allocation, pricing received by clients across Participating Accounts will
likely differ.
In management of the Programs, JPMPI may leverage various trading platforms. Depending on the trading
platform in which a strategy or Program is implemented, there could be a dispersion among holdings within
accounts following the same investment strategy model due to implementation differences across platforms. Due
to system limitations for clients of Wealth Advisors, the portfolio managers cannot directly allocate to money
market funds. In a scenario where the portfolio managers directly allocate to a money market fund for clients of
Private Client Advisors, this allocation would go to the Wealth Advisor client’s sweep vehicle thereby increasing
its allocation. In addition, there are differences in how substitution logic is implemented across certain systems.
Any substitutions made will be aligned in terms of investment risk profile across all models for the same strategy.
JPMPI and its Affiliates Limitations on Trade Orders
Certain JPMPI, JPMCB and JPMIM portfolio managers manage similar strategies and the trades are not
aggregated together for all clients. JPMPI portfolio managers may be placing trades in specific securities at the
same time as other J.P. Morgan clients are trading in those securities (including certain clients of JPMCB and
JPMIM) and can have different execution experiences.
Additionally, for JPMPI Programs that invest in Funds, if JPMPI redeems a large position in a Fund together with
JPMCB, certain Funds may require JPMPI and JPMCB to sell out of the Fund in multiple transactions over the
course of a long period. Therefore, JPMPI and JPMCB can have different execution experiences. In addition,
when purchasing the same Funds for JPMPI and JPMCB, generally, for operational reasons, certain trades will
be executed for JPMCB clients ahead of JPMPI clients.
In the course of monitoring the above-noted trading activities, JPMPI attempts to ensure that its clients are treated
fairly and equitably over time compared to other clients.
Account Errors and Resolutions
Account errors, trade errors, and other operational mistakes occasionally occur in connection with JPMPI’s
management of Funds and client accounts. JPMPI has developed policies and procedures that address the
identification and correction of such errors and generally require that errors caused by JPMPI and affecting a
client's account be resolved promptly and fairly. Errors can result from a variety of situations, including portfolio
management (e.g., inadvertent violation of investment restrictions), trading, processing or other functions (e.g.,
miscommunication of information, such as wrong number of shares, wrong price, wrong account, executing the
order as a buy rather than a sell and vice versa).
The intent of the policies and procedures is to restore a client account to the appropriate financial position as
determined in good faith by JPMPI based on what it considers reasonable in light of all relevant facts and
circumstances surrounding the error. JPMPI makes its determinations pursuant to its error policies and
procedures on a case-by-case basis, in its discretion, based on factors it considers reasonable. Under certain
86
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
circumstances, JPMPI may consider whether it is possible to adequately address an error through cancellation,
correction, reallocation of losses and gains or other means.
Conflicts of Interest Related to Aggregation and Allocation
Conflicts of interest can arise with both the allocation of investment opportunities, including trading opportunities
and pricing of trading generally, and the aggregation of orders and allocation of executed transactions specifically,
because of market factors or investment restrictions imposed upon JPMPI and its affiliates by law, regulation,
contract or internal policies. Allocations of transactions resulting from aggregated orders, particularly orders that
are only partially completed (due to limits on availability, capacity constraints and other factors) and allocation of
investment opportunities generally, would raise a conflict of interest where JPMPI or its affiliates has an incentive
to allocate investment opportunities or securities that are expected to increase in value to favored accounts,
including affiliated accounts and accounts that pay higher fees. JPMS and JPMPI mitigate this conflict by using
guidelines designed by JPMPI and affiliates to allocate investment and trading opportunities among similarly
situated Program accounts on a fair and equitable basis over time. A conflict of interest also would arise if
transactions in securities in one account closely follow transactions in the same securities in different accounts,
especially when the transactions or series of transactions are large in relation to the securities’ trading volume
and potentially have market impact, such as when a purchase increases the value of securities previously
purchased by the other accounts, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale by other
accounts.
JPMPI and its affiliates have intercompany arrangements whereby one or more affiliates, including JPMS, share
personnel for one or more purposes, including the construction and implementation of trade orders for multiple
programs and affiliated entities. Any such shared personnel are subject to the policies and procedures of the
applicable affiliate when acting on its affiliate’s behalf. Any such shared personnel will have potentially conflicting
interests when playing these various roles. Such personnel splitting time and attention between one or more
JPMPI affiliates creates conflicts of interest in that the time and effort of these shared personnel will not necessarily
be devoted exclusively, or even predominately, to JPMPI. While the affected affiliates have adopted policies,
procedures or guidelines to address conflicts of interest associated with personnel sharing, such policies,
procedures or guidelines can differ and there can be no assurance that such policies, procedures or guidelines
will successfully eliminate or mitigate all such conflicts in every case.
ITEM 13
Review of Accounts
A.
Frequency and Nature of Review of Client Accounts
JPMPI periodically reviews the investment strategies, Funds, and SMA/Model Managers available in JPMCAP,
CSP, Advisory Program, STRATIS, Personal Advisors Program, MFAP and JPMGAP in an effort to ensure that
the strategies, Funds, and SMA/Model Managers continue to meet applicable requirements. For Program
87
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
accounts where JPMPI has discretion, JPMPI is responsible for periodically monitoring account drift and ensuring
compliance with the requested investment restrictions.
B.
Factors Prompting Review of Client Accounts Other than a Periodic Review
For JPMCAP, CSP, Advisory Program, STRATIS and Personal Advisors Program, JPMPI performs a review of
an individual client account on other than periodic basis, including but not limited to, when a JPMPI portfolio
manager changes an allocation to an investment strategy model, an account drifts or deviates from its respective
investment strategy model, upon a client request relating to the account (e.g., the addition or withdrawal of funds
by the client), or a corporate action.
C.
Content and Frequency of Account Reports to Clients
JPMPI does not provide performance reports to Program clients. Clients receive written account statements from
JPMS or the client’s custodian and also receive written quarterly performance reports from JPMS.
ITEM 14
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A.
Economic Benefits for Providing Services to Clients
No person who is not a client provides an economic benefit to JPMPI for providing investment advice or other
advisory services to Program accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to compliance with applicable
law, JPMPI and/or its affiliates derives ancillary benefits from providing investment advisory services to clients.
For example, providing such advisory services to clients generally helps JPMPI enhance its relationships with
various parties and facilitate additional business development, and also enables JPMPI and its related persons
to obtain additional business and generate additional revenue. In addition, J.P. Morgan may derive ancillary
benefits from certain decisions made by JPMPI on behalf of clients. J.P. Morgan may receive administrative and
servicing and other fees for providing services to both J.P. Morgan Affiliated Funds and third-party funds that are
held in the client’s portfolio. While JPMPI has an obligation to make decisions for the best interests of its clients,
in certain circumstances, JPMPI can make investments or decisions that result in greater fees, allocations,
compensation, or other benefits to J.P. Morgan than if other decisions had been made that also might have been
appropriate.
The Code of Conduct does not permit employees to accept anything of value personally in connection with the
business of the firm. Subject to strictly enforced compliance policies, in limited circumstances exceptions will be
made for certain nominal non-cash gifts, meals, refreshments and entertainment provided in the course of a host-
attended business-related meeting or other occasion.
B.
Compensation to Non-Supervised Persons for Client Referrals
Neither JPMPI nor any related person of JPMPI directly or indirectly compensates any person who is not its
supervised person for client referrals to a Program.

ITEM 15
Custody
JPMPI generally does not maintain physical custody of client assets. Client assets are typically held by a qualified
custodian pursuant to a separate custody agreement. However, pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers
Act, JPMPI may be deemed to have custody of client assets under certain circumstances.
JPMPI might be deemed to have custody of clients’ assets because JPMS directly or indirectly holds clients’ funds
or securities or has authority to obtain possession of them. Clients will receive account statements at least
quarterly directly from JPMS. Clients should also carefully review such account statements. Clients are
encouraged to compare the account statements that they receive from their qualified custodian with those that
they receive from JPMS to the extent JPMS is not the custodian. If clients do not receive statements at least
quarterly from their qualified custodian in a timely manner, they should contact JPMS immediately.
ITEM 16
Investment Discretion
JPMS and the client enter into an investment advisory agreement authorizing JPMPI to act on behalf of the
account. The agreement authorizes JPMPI to supervise and direct the investment and reinvestment of assets in
the client’s account on the client’s behalf and at the client’s risk.
JPMCAP and CSP
JPMS and JPMPI have full discretionary authority, to be exercised in their exclusive judgment and consistent
with the investment strategy selected by the client, to determine the allocation of assets (inclusive of selecting,
adding, removing, or replacing) among Funds and, at appropriate asset levels, Liquid Alternative Funds (only
available in JPMCAP), one or more SMAs (only available in CSP) or Model Managers. In addition as applicable,
JPMPI provides trade instructions to JPMS for each investment strategy. JPMS has delegated this discretionary
authority to JPMPI as the Program’s sub-adviser.
The Advisory Program and STRATIS
For Multi-Manager Strategies, JPMS and JPMPI have full discretionary authority, to be exercised in their
exclusive judgment and consistent with the investment strategy selected by the client, to determine the allocation
of assets (inclusive of selecting, adding, removing, or replacing) among Funds or other securities. In addition, as
applicable, JPMPI provides trade instructions to JPMS for each investment strategy. JPMS has delegated this
discretionary authority to JPMPI as the Program’s sub-adviser.
Personal Advisors Program
JPMS and JPMPI have full discretionary authority, to be exercised in their exclusive judgment and consistent
with the investment strategy selected by the client, to determine the allocation of assets (inclusive of selecting,
adding, removing, or replacing) among Funds. In addition, as applicable, JPMPI provides trade instructions to
89
J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc.
File No. 801-41088
March 27, 2026
JPMS for each investment strategy. JPMS has delegated this discretionary authority to JPMPI as the Program’s
sub-adviser.
MFAP and JPMGAP
In MFAP and JPMGAP, JPMPI makes recommendations regarding the strategic asset allocation targets and
asset allocation ranges for the MFAP and JPMGAP Models and approves, removes or replaces Funds available
to clients in the MFAP and JPMGAP Models. The Funds may be changed from time to time by JPMPI, and
appropriate trades will be effected in client accounts to conform to those changes. In addition, asset allocation
percentages may be changed from time to time by JPMPI.
Research Services –Advisory Program (other than JPMPI), STRATIS (other than JPMPI) and other JPMS
Advisory Programs
JPMPI provides research services with respect to certain strategies offered by JPMS and does not have
investment discretion.
ITEM 17
Voting Client Securities
Information Regarding Voting Client Securities, Corporate Actions and Class Actions
JPMPI will not vote proxies (or give advice about how to vote proxies) relating to securities or other property
currently or formerly held in a client’s account. Instead, clients of JPMS have the right to vote for any securities
and other property in their account.
Beginning on or after April 1, 2026, except for MFAP, clients grant JPMS the limited authority to select, appoint,
and remove one or more agents and attorneys-in-fact for the sole purpose of exercising client’s right to vote
proxies relating to securities owned by or held for their Program account(s). This will not apply to MFAP where
client retains the authority and responsibility to vote proxies for their own Program account. Beginning on or after
April 1, 2026, the proxy agent so appointed is JPMIM. For more information on voting client securities, refer to
the applicable JPMS Form ADV, Part 2A, which are available at the SEC’s website at adviserinfo.sec.gov.
JPMPI will receive and respond to corporate actions with respect to securities in a client’s account, such as: any
conversion option; execution of waivers, consents, and other instruments; and consents to any plan of
reorganization, merger, combination, consolidation, liquidation, or similar plan. Each client has the right and
responsibility to take any actions with respect to any legal proceedings, including without limitation, bankruptcies
and shareholder litigation, and the right to initiate or pursue any legal proceedings, including without limitation,
shareholder litigation, including with respect to transactions, securities, or other investments held in the client’s
account or the issuers thereof. JPMPI is not obligated to render any advice or take any action on a client’s behalf
regarding securities or other property held in the client’s account, or the issuers thereof, which become the subject
of any legal proceedings, including without limitation, bankruptcies and shareholder litigation, to which any
securities or other investments held or previously held in the account, or the issuers thereof, become subject. In

addition, JPMPI is not obligated to initiate or pursue any legal proceedings, including without limitation,
shareholder litigation, on behalf of a client’s account, including with respect to transactions, securities, or other
investment held or previously held, in the client’s account or the issuers thereof.
ITEM 18
Financial Information
JPMPI is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its contractual
commitments to clients, nor has JPMPI been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten
years.
