3 Welcome to our home market J.P. Morgan Asset Management began its life in the United States and has managed US equities for more than 100 years.

4 Opportunities in the world s largest stock market THE US IS THE WORLD S LARGEST STOCK MARKET. It is home to many of the world s most recognisable brand names and most profitable companies, from Apple to Coca Cola, from MasterCard to Johnson & Johnson. It is also home to a wealth of fast-growing smaller companies that can offer enhanced long-term capital growth opportunities. Historically, US equities have delivered attractive returns for long-term investors (as the chart on pages two and three shows). Given the strength of the US economy and the strong outlook for corporate profits, we believe there is still more to come. The investment case for US equities remains compelling The US is a vital component of any diversified, long-term portfolio. Home to many of the most established and innovative companies in the world, the US offers a dynamic economy in which to invest, with opportunities across a wide choice of sectors and industries. As more and more US companies expand their businesses in emerging markets, investing in the US equity market also offers exposure to the rapid growth of developing countries. US economy is gathering momentum The US economy continues to show signs of strength. Economic growth rebounded strongly in the second quarter of 2014, increasing at an annual rate of 4.2%*. We believe the recovery is set to continue, with labour market conditions improving, and household incomes rising, which is filtering through to increased consumer spending. Meanwhile, businesses are also beginning to invest. Given that there is still plenty of pent-up demand in the most cyclical areas of the economy (eg housing and autos), the current expansion looks sustainable, which will be supportive for further corporate profits growth. The US unemployment rate has fallen sharply in recent years and continues to fall, which is supportive of future economic growth UNEMPLOYMENT RATE Seasonally adjusted 11 % Average: 6.1% 3 '65 '70 '75 '80 '85 '90 '95 '00 '05 '10 Sep 2014: 5.9% Source: BLS, FactSet, J.P.

Data as at 30 September *Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), second estimate of real gross domestic product, second quarter of 2014, released on 28 August US EQUITY CAPABILITIES

5 Record-high company profits support US equities IN A FAVOURABLE ECONOMIC CLIMATE FOR CORPORATE EARNINGS, US COMPANIES ARE AS PROFITABLE AS THEY HAVE EVER BEEN, WITH THE SECOND-QUARTER 2014 US EARNINGS SEASON REACHING A RECORD HIGH. With US companies having paid down debt and cut costs in recent years, we believe this trend of record high profitability could be set to continue as stronger domestic activity further boosts demand*. Stronger profits support valuations and allow companies to return more cash to shareholders, which ultimately creates a positive environment for US equity investing. Valuations are not expensive Despite recent strong share price gains, US equity valuations are not looking expensive, either on a price-to-earnings or price-to-book basis (see charts below), and US equities continue to look attractive compared to bonds. While both inflation and interest rates are expected to increase as the recovery continues, we believe the pace will remain slow and steady for a number of years. Earnings have rebounded, and should help support valuations S&P 500 EARNING AND PERFORMANCE 26x 24x 22x 20x 18x 16x Current: 15.2x 14x Average: 15.6x 12x 10x 8x '90 '92 '94 '96 '98 '00 '02 '04 '06 '08 '10 '12 '14 FORWARD P/E RATIO 14% 12% 10% S&P 500 earnings yield (Inverse of fwd.

6 Expert research at the core J.P. MORGAN & HIGHBRIDGE: EXPANDING OUR US OFFERING Since 2004, J.P. Morgan Asset Management has had a strategic partnership with Highbridge Capital Management. This strategic partnership has allowed us to further expand our US equity with the introduction of the Highbridge J.P. Morgan funds, bringing their expertise in statistical arbitrage techniques to long-only US equity investing. Highbridge s distinctive approach offers diversification benefits vs. other US equity strategies. Common sense investment ideas are combined with the latest technological advancements, with the aim of identifying and profiting from small mispricings in the US equity markets. CAREER ANALYSTS: ENDURING RELATIONSHIPS AND LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT Our analysts dedicate their careers to research. Kathleen Stack, our consumer non-durables analyst, has been with the firm since 1981 and covered her sector for nearly 30 years. Over this time she has built up an invaluable understanding of the companies she covers, providing our funds with insight that few other asset managers can match. Kathleen has met with the last five Coca Cola CEOs over the course of her career at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. OUR TRIED AND TESTED INVESTMENT APPROACH IS DISTINGUISHED BY FUNDAMENTAL, BOTTOM-UP ANALYSIS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL COMPANY LEVEL, TO THE INDUSTRY AND COMPETITION, AND TO THE BROADER SECTOR. Our funds are actively managed and powered by the insight of our career analysts, based on the ground in the US market. Powered by long-term insight Our funds draw on the proprietary research of our in-house US equity analysts. Our team of over 40 analysts average more than 10 years of experience at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, providing the long-term company coverage that translates into a key information advantage. Because around a third of the earnings of S&P 500 companies are sourced outside the US, our US equity analysts also leverage our global research presence to identify trends around the world. This means our local investing is informed by the global perspective of over 200 analysts worldwide. Differentiated by portfolio manager experience Investing in US equities with J.P. Morgan Asset Management means gaining exposure to a wealth of experience. Our senior US equity investors, Tom Luddy, Jonathan Simon, Eytan Shapiro, Greg Luttrell, Garrett Fish and Clare Hart, bring to bear an average of 29 years of experience. These decades of experience have taught our managers when to take risks and when to avoid them, when to trust valuations and when to treat them with caution. A history of excellence and innovation We offer a diverse range of US equity funds from traditional large cap core funds to small cap funds, style funds and high alpha funds providing investment solutions to meet a broad range of investor needs. Our funds are distinguished by fundamental, bottom-up research, expert portfolio management and rigorous risk control. Throughout our history, we have constantly sought to innovate, pioneering new investment approaches such as market neutral and 130/30 investing, research-enhanced index investing and behavioural finance, while continuing to offer excellence in traditional asset management. 6 US EQUITY CAPABILITIES
