2 US Equity Market Outlook 1 FOR PROFESSIONAL CLIENTS / QUALIFIED INVESTORS ONLY NOT FOR RETAIL USE OR DISTRIBUTION

3 US Market Outlook As of 31 August 2016 Economy Consumers Earnings Valuations Expect continued steady economic growth GDP growth has been relatively slow, but steady, throughout this recovery, averaging 2.1% Any improvement in consumer spending and housing will further increase US economic growth US consumers have multiple tailwinds Household net worth hit new all time highs in the second quarter while their liabilities remain well below pre-recessionary levels Low interest rates, low unemployment rate (4.9%) as well as low energy prices, should favour strong US consumer activity Solid earnings growth in most sectors We see earnings for the S&P 500 Index of 5% ex-energy (2% including energy) for 2016, with the consumer discretionary and health care sectors experiencing the highest earnings growth As earnings headwinds from the stronger US dollar and lower energy prices gradually diminish, earnings growth should reaccelerate S&P 500 Index looks reasonably valued Investors are paying around 16.9x forward earnings which represent reasonable value in a historical context There are however, pockets of expensiveness within the market Source: J.P.

25 Investment objective and risk profile JPM US Equity Income Fund Investment objective To provide a portfolio designed to achieve income by investing primarily in US equities in any economic sector whilst participating in long term capital growth. Risk profile The value of your investment may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. The value of Equity and Equity-Linked Securities may fluctuate in response to the performance of individual companies and general market conditions. As the portfolio of the Fund is primarily focused on generating income, it may bear little resemblance to the composition of its Benchmark. The single market in which the Fund primarily invests, in this case the US, may be subject to particular political and economic risks and, as a result, the Fund may be more volatile than more broadly diversified funds. For investors in Share Classes which are not hedged to Sterling movements in currency exchange rates can adversely affect the return of your investment. Investors in GBP Hedged Share Classes should be aware that any currency hedging process may not give a precise hedge. Where currency hedging is undertaken, whilst it may protect an investor in Hedged Shares against a decrease in the value of the currency being hedged, it may also prevent the investor from participating in an increase in the value of that currency. This Fund charges the annual fee of the Authorised Corporate Director (ACD) against capital, which will increase the amount of income available for distribution to Shareholders, but may constrain capital growth. It may also have tax implications for certain investors. Please refer to the Fund's prospectus or Key Investor Information Document (KIID) for more information relating to the Fund. 24 FOR PROFESSIONAL CLIENTS / QUALIFIED INVESTORS ONLY NOT FOR RETAIL USE OR DISTRIBUTION
