A. Valuation of Investments Investments are valued in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) and the Portfolios valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board), which established the following approach to
valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be
valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (the Administrator) has
established the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (AVC) to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Portfolios investments. The Administrator implements the valuation
policies of the Portfolios investments, as directed by the Board. The AVC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Portfolio. This includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on
results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited, to consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the
potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
Equities and other
exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the net asset values (NAV) of the Portfolio are calculated on a valuation
date.
Investments in open-end investment companies (Underlying Funds) are valued at each Underlying Funds NAV per share as of the
report date.
Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the
report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the
Portfolios investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2 Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar
investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the
extent observable inputs are not available (including the Portfolios assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
