Morgan Asset Management. Data as at December 31, 2011.

13 Summary The classic drivers of economic development namely urbanization, industrialization, and infrastructure building, augmented by youthful demographics continue to characterize the EM (and developing) world from a secular perspective; Projections from the OECD and World Bank imply that a rising middle class in the EM and developing world will account for the majority of global consumption spending by 2030; As positive and seemingly inevitable that these trends are, it is worth remembering that few things in economics proceed in a straight line; In that vein, it is worth noting that current EM growth is struggling under a triumvirate of headwinds, including a rising US dollar, an extended reversal in commodity prices, and sluggish domestic demand that is unlikely to experience a re-acceleration of credit growth given the onset of Federal Reserve policy normalization; Nonetheless, the evolution of the auto sector provides a good illustration of what lies ahead for the EM consumer longer-term: penetration rates that rise with GDP per capita and accordingly shift the weight of global consumption toward EM and developing countries Source: JPMorgan, as at December Opinions, estimates and statements of financial market trends that are based on current market conditions constitute our judgment and are subject to change without notice.

14 0903c02a J.P. Morgan Asset Management Disclosure Opinions, estimates, forecasts, and statements of financial market trends that are based on current market conditions constitute our judgment and are subject to change without notice. We believe the information provided here is reliable. These views and strategies described may not be suitable for all investors. References to specific securities, asset classes and financial markets are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, recommendations. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Emerging Markets Risks: The strategy is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. The strategy s investments in emerging markets could lead to more volatility in the value of the Fund's shares. As mentioned above, the normal risks of investing in foreign countries are heightened when investing in emerging markets. In addition, the small size of securities markets and the low trading volume may lead to a lack of liquidity, which leads to increased volatility. Also, emerging markets may not provide adequate legal protection for private or foreign investment or private property. The manager may use derivatives in connection with its investment strategies. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the strategy s original investments. Certain derivatives may give rise to a form of leverage. As a result, the strategy may be more volatile than if the strategy had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio s securities. Derivatives are also subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives for hedging or risk management purposes or to increase income or gain may not be successful, resulting in losses to a portfolio, and the cost of such strategies may reduce a portfolio s returns. Derivatives would also expose a portfolio to the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Commodity Risks: The value of commodity related securities may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The energy sector can be significantly affected by changes in the prices and supplies of oil and other energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and tax and other government regulations, policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC ) and relationships among OPEC members and between OPEC and oil importing nations. The metals sector can be affected by sharp price volatility over short periods caused by global economic, financial and political factors, resource availability, government regulation, economic cycles, changes in inflation or expectations about inflation in various countries, interest rates, currency fluctuations, metal sales by governments, central banks or international agencies, investment speculation and fluctuations in industrial and commercial supply and demand. Use of leveraged commodity-linked derivatives creates an opportunity for increased return but, at the same time, creates the possibility for greater loss. There can be no assurance that the professionals currently employed by JPMAM will continue to be employed by JPMAM or that the past performance or success of any such professional serves as an indicator of such professional s future performance or success. Any securities/portfolio holdings mentioned throughout the presentation are shown for illustrative purposes only and should not be interpreted as recommendations to buy or sell. A full list of firm recommendations for the past year are available upon request. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Total returns assumes reinvestment of any income. The deduction of an advisory fee reduces an investor s return. Actual account performance will vary on individual portfolio security selection and the applicable fee schedule. Fees are available upon request. The following is an example of the effect of compounded advisory fees over a period of time on the value of a client s portfolio: A portfolio with a beginning value of $100 million, gaining an annual return of 10% per annum would grow to $259 million after 10 years, assuming no fees have been paid out. Conversely, a portfolio with a beginning value of $100 million, gaining an annual return of 10% per annum, but paying a fee of 1% per annum, would only grow to $235 million after 10 years. The annualized returns over the 10 year time period are 10.00% (gross of fees) and 8.91% (net of fees). If the fee in the above example was 0.25% per annum, the portfolio would grow to $253 million after 10 years and return 9.73% net of fees. The fees were calculated on a monthly basis, which shows the maximum effect of compounding.

The MSCI ACWI Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets.
