JPMorgan FundsBoard of Directors’ Report (continued)

Board RemunerationThe Board believes that the remuneration of its members should reflect the responsibilities and experience of the Board as a whole and be fair andappropriate given the size, complexity and investment objectives of the Fund. The remuneration is reviewed on an annual basis. The Chairman is paidUSD 96,393 and the other Directors USD 76,218 for the year ended 30 June 2020 apart from the Executive Directors who have agreed to waive theirremuneration. No element of the remuneration paid by the Fund to the Directors is performance related.

Board Meetings and CommitteesThe Board meets quarterly but if necessary additional meetings will be arranged. Given the scope and nature of the business of the Fund, the Board does notcurrently consider it necessary to have a formal Audit or Remuneration Committee or indeed any other standing committees. However, this is kept underreview. All Board related matters are therefore currently approved by the Board or, where there are specific matters that need further consideration, aSub-Committee of the Board could be formed for this specific purpose. Such circumstances could be where the Board requests some amendments to theProspectus and where it is not appropriate to wait till the next quarterly Board meeting for this to be approved. These Sub-Committee meetings are usuallyformed of a minimum of two Directors.There were twelve Board meetings held during the year. Four of these were quarterly Board meetings where, amongst other matters, the agenda includedthose items highlighted under the section above called ‘Role and Responsibility of the Board’ and eight were ad hoc Board meetings. In addition to the Boardmeeting where the Auditors present the report on the audit of the Fund accounts, the Non-Executive Directors also meet with them annually without theExecutive Directors being in attendance.

Internal ControlInvestment management and all administrative services are provided by the Management Company and custody of assets is provided by J.P. Morgan BankLuxembourg S.A. The Board’s system of internal control therefore mainly comprises monitoring the services provided by the Management Company and theDepositary, including the operational and compliance controls established by them to meet the Fund’s obligations to shareholders as set out in theProspectus, Articles of Incorporation as well as all relevant regulations. The Management Company formally reports to the Board on a quarterly basis on thevarious activities it is responsible for and in addition shall inform the Board without delay of any material administrative or accounting matters.

Corporate Governance and ALFI Code of ConductThe Board is responsible for ensuring that a high level of corporate governance is met and considers that the Fund has complied with the best practices in theLuxembourg funds industry.In particular the Board has adopted the ALFI Code of Conduct (the “Code”) which sets out principles of good governance. These principles are set out below:1. The Board should ensure that high standards of corporate governance are applied at all times;2. The Board should have good professional standing and appropriate experience and to ensure that it is collectively competent to fulfil its responsibilities;3. The Board should act fairly and independently in the best interests of the investors;4. The Board should act with due care and diligence in the performance of their duties;5. The Board should ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and with the Fund’s constitutional documents;6. The Board should ensure that investors are properly informed, are fairly and equitably treated, and receive the benefits and services to which they areentitled;7. The Board should ensure that an effective risk management process and appropriate internal controls are in place;8. The Board should identify and manage fairly and effectively, to the best of its ability, any actual, potential or apparent conflict of interest and ensureappropriate disclosure;9. The Board should ensure that shareholder rights are exercised in a considered way and in the best interests of the Fund;10. The Board should ensure that the remuneration of the Board members is reasonable and fair and adequately disclosed.The Board considers that the Fund has been in compliance with the principles of the Code in all material aspects throughout the financial year ended 30 June2020. The Board undertakes an annual review of ongoing compliance with the principles of the Code.

Proxy Voting PolicyThe Board delegates responsibility for proxy voting to the Management Company. The Management Company manages the voting rights of the sharesentrusted in a prudent and diligent manner, based exclusively on the reasonable judgement of what will best serve the financial interests of clients. So far asis practicable, the Management Company will vote at all of the meetings called by companies in which they are invested.A copy of the proxy voting policy is available from the Fund’s registered office upon request or on the website:https://am.jpmorgan.com/lu/en/asset-management/adv/funds/policies/

Environmental Social Governance (“ESG”)Certain Sub-Funds of JPMorgan Funds have included ESG as part of their investment policy. Details of these are included within the Prospectus.

Directors and Officers Indemnity InsuranceThe Fund’s Articles of Incorporation indemnify the Directors against expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any claim against them arising in thecourse of their duties or responsibilities as long as they have not acted fraudulently or dishonestly. To protect shareholders against any such claim, the Boardhas taken out Directors and Officers Indemnity Insurance which indemnifies the Directors against certain liabilities arising in the course of their duties andresponsibilities but does not cover against any fraudulent or dishonest actions on their part.

Independent AuditorPricewaterhouseCoopers, Société coopérative, has been the Fund’s Auditor since December 1994. The provision of audit services was last put to competitivetender in 2016. The Board reviewed the services of PwC in 2016 and decided that, subject to any other influencing factor, they should continue to be proposedto the Shareholders to be appointed as Auditor.

Equity

Asia Markets ReviewAsian equities experienced a volatile year, but the MSCI Asia ex Japan Index returned 1.7% for the 12 month period. This came against a backdrop of slowingglobal growth, which was further exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, ongoing geopolitical tensions and unprecedented liquidity and policy supports bycentral banks and national governments. Performance divergence was large, with Taiwan and China posting strong gains and Japanese equities alsoproviding positive returns, while India and ASEAN markets fell.

Investor optimism over trade negotiations between China and the U.S. faded around middle of 2019 when the U.S. announced another round of tariffs. Thisand concerns over a slowdown in global growth further added to market pessimism. Yet, the emergence of Phase One trade deal in late 2019 helped equitymarkets to recoup losses. However, the spread of Covid-19, initially more contained in China, swiftly turned the investor sentiment negative as the coronavirus was declared a pandemic. This drove a meaningful risk-off sentiment among investors, as marked by the collapse in 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yields, astrengthening U.S. dollar, a sharp decline in global petroleum prices. Asian equity valuations fell to levels last seen in the 2008-09 global financial crisis.

Fears of a synchronised global recession promoted central banks and national government around the world to unveil a broad range of monetary and fiscalstimulus, including interest rate cuts and additional quota for quantitative easing, to alleviate market stress. Markets began to rebound strongly from theend of March through to June 2020.

By the end of the 12 month period, equities in Taiwan and China outperformed as the pandemic appeared to be relatively under control. The technology,gaming, eCommerce, health care sectors generally performed well. South Korean equity returns were generally flat, amid investor concerns over globalgrowth and slowing exports. Hong Kong markets suffered amid socio-political unrest. India was also under severe economic growth pressure coupled withongoing investor concerns over its banking sector. ASEAN equity markets performed the worst due to prolonged at-home quarantines. Within Asian equitymarkets, growth indexes outperformed value and dividend indexes over the 12 month period.

OutlookOverall, Covid-19 and the related macro-economic environment remains the primary issue for global markets. While cases of the virus seem to be controlledin North Asia and Europe, the U.S., Latin America and parts of South Asia are still seeing increased infection rates.

While equity prices have generally recovered since the first quarter 2020 with the unprecedented policy responses of central banks and nationalgovernments, few new support programmes have been announced since then and the economic impact of stimulus efforts will only be seen slowly, leavingfinancial markets vulnerable to any investor disappointment. However, equity valuations across Asia on a price-to-book ratio remain below long-termaverages and historically these levels have been attractive to long term investors.

Global Markets ReviewThe 12-month period unprecedented in terms of volatility for global equity markets due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Until early 2020, markets rallied on aneasing of trade and geopolitical tensions and a rebound in investors’ risk appetite. However, the spread of the novel coronavirus quickly snowballed into apandemic that ground national economies to a halt, prompting record-breaking fiscal and monetary stimulus that eventually helped to stabilise markets.

The MSCI World Index returned 2.84% for the period and the Bloomberg Barclays Multiverse Index returned 3.84%. The MSCI Europe Index declined by 5.5%(in EUR) during the period.

The second half of 2019 saw mixed economic performance, accommodative monetary policy and a flare-up in political and trade tensions that increasinglysubsided toward the end of the year. However, stocks rallied in late 2019 on a breakthrough in U.S.-China trade talks and the first phase of a trade deal. In theU.K., the victory of the Conservative Party in the general election lifted investor sentiment on hopes that the Parliamentary deadlock over Brexit would bebroken and political stability would emerge.

In the first quarter of 2020, as Covid-19 spread to nearly 200 countries and governments enforced social distancing and/or at-home quarantines, economicactivity slowed sharply, and economic growth expectations fell. With a deterioration in the economic landscape, national governments began to takeextraordinary measures to counter the damage of pandemic. The U.S. unemployment rate hit a post-WWII high of 14.7% in April. The eurozone’s PMI hit arecord low of 13.5 in April.

Equity markets saw one of the deepest and fastest sell-offs since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Towards the end of the quarter, markets recovered someof the losses late in the first quarter as the both governments and central banks moved quickly to stabilise financial markets and counter the economicdamage from Covid-19 restrictions.

During the second quarter of 2020, global equities witnessed a rally as the growth in Covid-19 infection rates declined in several regions and as strongstimulus measures by governments came into effect. Economic activity rebounded sharply as consumer spending and retail sales in the U.S. and the U.K.increased but remained below pre-pandemic levels.

Although global equities ended the period at a higher level in aggregate, there was a pronounced sector rotation. Crude oil prices plunged to record lows inApril 2020 and energy stocks were among the worst performers over the period. Banking stocks slumped amid falling bond yields and regulatory pressure tosuspend dividend payments, particularly in Europe. Travel and leisure sector stocks also fell, while retail and real estate sector stocks declined amiduncertainty about the outlook for leases and rents.

Globally, the technology sector rallied strongly as semiconductor equipment companies were able to resolve supply-side constraints and several postedupbeat forecasts for the year. Software developers and eCommerce stocks also rallied.

OutlookWe expect corporate earnings will be appreciably lower in 2020, with the financials and energy sectors especially badly affected. At present, our analystsestimate global corporate earnings in 2020 will decline by more than 20% compared with the previous year. We also expect a significant rebound in earningsin 2021, though we don’t expect earnings to revert to pre-pandemic levels.

Against this background, the continued rally in global stock reflects a huge amount of monetary stimulus and a dearth of attractive opportunities. Relative tosovereign bonds and cash, equities still offer attractive medium-term return. We feel, however, that more volatility is likely this year as investors digest theuneven pace of the recovery and there is a risk of resurgence of the Covid-19 outbreak, which we have already seen in parts of the U.S. We will also see howbond investors react to the steep rise in government debt everywhere, and with downward pressure on retail prices we will see whether the threat ofdeflation returns. Overall, we believe that within the increased valuation spreads between the least expensive and most expensive stocks in global equitymarkets, there are fertile opportunities for investors add value.

Balanced and Mixed Assets

Balanced and Mixed Asset Markets ReviewInvestor optimism over trade negotiations between China and the U.S. faded around middle of 2019 when the U.S. planned a further round of tariffs onChinese goods. Additional concerns over a slowdown in global economic growth added to investor worries. In December 2019, the emergence of Phase Onetrade agreement between the U.S. and China bolstered financial markets.

Going into 2020, global financial markets generally performed well amid supportive monetary policies and expectations that economic growth momentumwas returning. However, the outbreak of Covid-19, initially more contained in China, swiftly turned investor sentiment negative when the virus became apandemic. This led to the collapse in yields on the benchmark 10-year U.S Treasury bond, a strengthening U.S. dollar and a record decline in global petroleumprices. Asian equity valuations fell to levels last seen in the 2008 global financial crisis.

Central banks and governments across the world launched stimulus packages, including fiscal aid programmes, further interest rate cuts and new orextended quantitative easing programmes. In response, financial markets started to rebound from March through to the end of June 2020.

Within fixed income markets, the JPMorgan Asia Credit Index returned 5.4% for the year, with investment grade bonds generally outperforming high yieldbonds.

OutlookThe full economic impact of central bank and government efforts will only be seen slowly and over the past few months, not many new monetary or fiscalsupport packages have been announced. Financial markets have largely rebounded on investor hopes that fiscal and monetary policy will be successful,which may leave markets vulnerable to investor disappointment.

Generally, we have a bias toward equities and expect them to provide better returns relative to fixed income. Within equities, we maintain a balancedposition with defensive sectors and quality franchises providing downside protection and value cyclicals offering upside participation. Within fixed income,economic risks may be fading, but political risks are beginning to rise. Given investor concerns about a global recession other impacts from the pandemic, weprefer high quality bonds from issuers that have the balance sheets able to weather a growth shock.

Convertibles and Fund of Funds

Market ReviewIn continental Europe, Australasia and parts of Asia, including China, new Covid-19 infections had fallen to low levels and economies began to reopen by theend of the June 2020. In the U.K., new infections also continued to fall, albeit not to as low levels as in continental Europe. In the U.S., the number of newinfections began rising again and select emerging market nations, including India and much of Latin America, had difficulty getting the virus under control.

Since national economies started to reopen, economic data has shown signs of a sharp rebound, with the speed and magnitude of the bounce back a clearpositive signal for investors. The other positive signal was that central banks globally have made clear that they stand willing to use their full fire power tokeep government and corporate borrowing costs low.

In the U.S., household incomes had been supported by stimulus payments and unusually generous unemployment benefits, which expired at the end of July2020. By the end of the 12 month period, there had been a re-acceleration of new cases of Covid-19 in several large U.S. states.

The European Union took steps towards reducing the risk of a politically induced re-run of the European sovereign debt crisis. The European Central Bank(ECB) exceeded investor expectations as it increased the size of its Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP) by 600 billion euros in June 2020 andpushed out the horizon PEPP asset purchases to the middle of next year. The ECB also committed to maintaining the size of its PEPP holdings until at least theend of 2022. The increase in the size and length of emergency asset purchases highlighted the ECB’s determination to strengthen the economic recovery.

In the U.K., the government announced that companies would be required to contribute to the cost of a jobs furlough programme, and that the programmewould is expire at the end of October. Meanwhile, the Bank of England increased the target of its asset purchase programme to 300 billion British pounds.The decision sent a clear signal to investors that the Bank of England stands ready to absorb upcoming issuance of U.K. bonds, and in doing so will keep thegovernment’s borrowing costs low.

In Japan, the composite economic survey data bounced back in June, driven by a surge in the service sector activity index, even as the manufacturing sectorremained lacklustre. On monetary policy front, the Bank of Japan held interest rates at accommodative levels and indicated that it could continue crediteasing measures beyond March 2021 and stressed its willingness to adopt additional measures.

OutlookWe believe the enormous scale of policy response to the pandemic should is spark a robust bounce back in economic growth, which will be supportive for riskassets. Central banks have made clear that they stand willing to keep government and corporate borrowing costs low. Against this backdrop, we expectabove-trend growth in global gross domestic product (GDP) and we believe GDP bottomed out the second quarter of 2020.

A key risk remains that a potential second wave of Covid-19 infections could trigger a return to shutdowns in large sectors of national economies. Politicalrisks that continue to unsettle investors include upcoming U.S. elections, rising tensions between China and the U.S. and EU, and unresolved details of Brexit.Going into the second half the year, out largest position is in the European periphery due to our expectation of yield spread compression given the policysupport from European Central Bank and European Union. We continue to hold a diversified range of country exposures and allocation to high quality agencybonds for spread exposure. We have a bias toward longer duration as a risk hedge.

Bonds

Emerging Markets ReviewEmerging Market debt markets have been volatile in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with credit spreads widening to levels last seen around the2008-2009 global financial crisis. While emerging markets debt continued to recover from the lows in March 2020, investors remained concerned about apotential second wave of infections in certain regions and geopolitical tensions. Although economic data appeared to indicate that the global economybottomed out in April, the subsequent recovery was expected to be very slow.

The EMBI Global Diversified Index spreads finished at 474 basis points (bps) at 30 June 2020. The index’s total return for the 12 month period was 0.46%, withreturn from the investment grade component at 8.32% effectively cancelling out the -8.15% loss in the high yield component. Emerging Markets localcurrency returned -2.82% (USD unhedged) for the 12 month period, against a stronger U.S. dollar. Emerging Markets corporate debt was the outperformer,returning 3.74%, primarily driven by investment grade debt.

JPMorgan FundsInvestment Managers’ Report (continued)

Central banks and governments continued to cushion the blow to the global economy and markets from the pandemic, and government bond yieldsremained very low as central banks maintained easy monetary policy. From an emerging markets perspective, a majority of central banks continued to keepfinancial conditions accommodative, with some employing or extending quantitative easing (QE) programmes.

In terms of economic data, there was a continued dispersion in data based on the impact from Covid-19 Recent data from parts of Asia (China, Korea, Vietnamand Taiwan) and emerging market nations in Europe (notably Poland), where coronavirus outbreaks appeared to be under control, have been stronger thanexpected. In contrast, activity was slower to recover in countries where new infections continued to rise sharply, including India, Mexico and Chile.

In China, macroeconomic data confirmed further economic recovery, as production activity had largely normalised, and demand conditions were graduallyrestored. China’s National Bureau of Statistics reported its manufacturing PMI rose to 50.9 in June, with notable uptick of the export-order component.Overall, despite geopolitical tensions and the Covid-19 pandemic, investor sentiment appeared be positive at the end of the 12 month period.

OutlookWe expect emerging markets economic growth to recover and our base case suggests the potential for 11-12% returns in emerging market debt in 2020. Wenow assign a higher probability for global growth to bottom out and gradually transition to a shallow recovery. We see only a moderate risk of inflation, asactivity and commodity prices remain low. In this core scenario, we expect central banks to remain accommodative, which we think will support emergingmarket assets.

Key risks, in our view, include a longer recovery from the pandemic, or a second wave of infections, which would lengthen the economic slowdown. Inflationand intensifying trade tensions with the U.S. are other risks we are watching closely. We believe most emerging markets will manage to weather the largeshocks presented by 2020, though some higher-yielding countries could face challenges if a downturn persists longer than expected. At the country level,differentiation in policy sustainability will remain a key driver of performance, helped further by a gradual recovery of commodity prices.

Europe Markets ReviewEuropean high yield debt generally underperformed in 2020, which detracted from performance for the 12 month period. The ICE BofA Euro DevelopedMarkets Non-Financials High Yield Constrained Index returned -2.70% for the period. At 30 June 2020, the Index’s option-adjusted spread was 151bps widerat 531bps, while its yield-to-worst ended 154bps higher at 4.75%.

While the high yield bond market finished 2019 on a strong note as investor appetite for risk assets increased following a Phase One trade agreementbetween the U.S. and China, the first quarter of 2020 was one of heightened volatility. Investors across markets were grappling with the potential economicimpact of the Covid-19 pandemic and a dramatic change in the fundamentals of the global petroleum market. These shocks combined to upend markets,resulting in very high volatility, with prices for risk assets, including high yield bonds, falling dramatically.

The high yield market rebounded strongly in the final week of the March 2020 as central banks and national governments unleashed unprecedentedmonetary and fiscal policy responses to the pandemic. This rally continued into early June, as gradual re-opening of economies and business activity,increased investor optimism that the global economy had bottomed out and would continue to recover.

OutlookDespite the unprecedented scale and scope of rating agency downgrades since March, the weighted average credit quality of the European high yield markethas barely changed. This is due to the number of former investment grade issuers that have entered the high yield benchmark index as sizeable BB-ratedissues, such that overall benchmark quality remained BB-. Fundamentals across most sectors can only improve in the short term as businesses re-open andnormal economic activity resumes.

However, putting aside the threat of a resurgence of Covid-19 infections, the outlook beyond the third quarter is far less certain. We struggle to see a scenarioother than one in which unemployment is higher and investment lower as companies look to re-adjust their capacity and reduce their debt levels. Despite ourcaution, we do think that default rates will be lower than where our expectations were at the end of the first quarter. This is due to a combination ofwide-ranging state backing for the private sector through the likes of wage furlough programmes and state guaranteed liquidity provision. However, centralbanks’ rapid and aggressive suppression of risk premiums has re-opened primary corporate debt markets such that even some of the worst affected sectorshave been able to access liquidity through the bond market to ease them through the Covid-19 demand shock.

After European high yield posted an 11.22% return in the second quarter of 2020, its best quarterly return since the second quarter of 2009, it is highlyunlikely that the remainder of the year can come anywhere close to matching that.

While still constructive on the longer-term outlook for high yield returns, we believe there is less value in dropping down in rating or in capital structure. Weare concerned that the hand of the central banks in driving down volatility can lead to bouts of over-valuation in the context of fundamental corporate risk.Caught between the munificence of central banks and the quick erosion of risk premiums, we have tended toward a neutral position on beta. We think thatany windows of volatility are likely to provide a better opportunity in which to increase risk.

Global Markets ReviewThe year 2019 saw more than 3,000 basis points of gross interest rate cuts in response to softening economic data, which was largely the result of apersistent trade war between the U.S. and China. Softer economic data and heightened uncertainty, along with the accommodative stances from leadingcentral banks, led to lower core bond yields. U.S. Treasury yields ended 2019 at 1.92%, down from 2.69% at the start of the year and having reached a low of1.46% in September at the height of the trade tensions. German Bunds yields plunged into negative territory over the year, with other government bondyields following. This prevalence of low and negative core rates led investors to a global hunt for yield, and this, along with accommodative central banks,provided support for risk assets. As such, all fixed income markets performed well in 2019, with high yield, for example, returning over 13% and emergingmarket debt (USD sovereigns) returning as much as 15%.

An optimistic start to 2020 soon gave way to the spread of Covid-19 and the closure of large sectors of the national economies across the globe. Adouble-digit percentage drop in gross domestic product (GDP) and an intense market sell-off prompted an unprecedented reaction from central banks,which cut interest rates and pledged to buy vast quantities of government and corporate bonds. At the same time, the fiscal response to the economic shockwas extensive, with governments worldwide enacting measures to support businesses and individuals.

Fixed income market returns recovered strongly in the wake of central bank and government actions, with investment grade credit spreads retracing 80%from their widest point in March. High yield spreads have recovered somewhat. At the end of June 2020, despite some lingering investor concerns aboutU.S.-China trade relations and the prospect of increasing Covid-19 infections in the U.S. and elsewhere, investors generally remained optimistic, encouragedby the fact that many national economies appeared to be reopening after a prolonged shutdown.

OutlookAs national economies continue to reopen, above-trend growth has become our base case. We believe global GDP bottomed out in the second quarter of2020. We expect current policy responses to spark U.S. double-digit GDP growth in second half of 2020 and 3%-5% growth in 2021. We also expect a robustbounce back in Europe and emerging markets and we expect central banks to keep interest rates at their lower ranges for several years. Any furtherweakness should be met with additional policy response in an election year, however we forecast double-digit U.S. unemployment into 2021. We are

diversifying our higher quality bias and extending further out on the credit spectrum, and rotating into certain sectors, including bank capital. We continue tofind high quality securitised credit attractive and are returning to emerging market local and external debt.

U.S. Markets ReviewThe period began with a slowdown in global economic data leading to muted investment grade corporate credit spread moves during the third quarter of2019. The U.S.-China trade war still dominated news reports, but tensions were softening.

The fourth quarter of 2019 was a strong period for credit markets, largely due to accommodative central bank policies. While the U.S. Federal Reserve (the“Fed”) cut its target rate by 25bps in October, the third reduction in rates in 2019. Credit spreads tightened in October on the back of investor expectationsthat the U.S. and China would be able to reach an interim trade agreement. This sentiment continued into November and a Phase One trade deal was reachedin December.

The first quarter of 2020 was a challenging time for U.S. credit markets with investor concerns about the Covid-19 pandemic leading a broad market sell-off.As the coronavirus continued to spread outside China, we began to see mass lockdowns with many countries coming to a standstill, sparking globalrecessionary fears. To tackle the slowdown in growth, governments and central banks globally delivered sizeable stimulus packages and quantitative easingprogrammes. The Fed resorted to two intra-meeting interest rate cuts, totalling 150bps.

The second quarter of 2020 was a strong one for credit as central banks and governments provided sizeable stimulus and quantitative easing and nationaleconomies started to reopen. While the Fed left interest rates unchanged over the quarter, it indicated its willingness to continue to support markets and theeconomy as needed.

OutlookWhile credit spreads have tightened dramatically relative to the wide spreads seen in March 2020, the economic outlook is complicated by the possibility of asecond wave of Covid-19 infections and the potential for governments to re-establish stringent quarantine restrictions. Corporate financial health remainschallenged, despite significant central bank support, with leverage continuing to rise. Leverage metrics are suffering from a combination of falling earningsgrowth related to Covid-19 and an increase in debt growth.

The risk of credit downgrades remains elevated. However, the scale of downgrades is dependent on the length of the economic downturn, theaggressiveness of rating agencies, and the degree of continued fiscal support among policymakers. While monetary and fiscal policy support has beensignificant, it is, in its current form, unlikely to be sizeable enough to avoid long term downgrades should the economic slowdown continue for an extendedperiod.

We expect demand for investment grade corporate bonds to continue, though perhaps at a slower pace. The attractive hedged U.S. corporate yield for bothJapanese and European investors supports foreign demand for U.S. markets. Further, central bank purchasing programmes should provide a backstop tomarkets should demand weaken significantly. While supply was unprecedentedly heavy in the second quarter of 2020, we expect issuance to slow in thesecond half of the year.

Given the low yields for government bonds globally, the high quality bias and positive yield of the corporate market means that investment grade corporatebonds remain relatively attractive. However, some caution is warranted due to continued uncertainty around Covid-19, the level of fiscal support goingforward, and elevated geopolitical risks ahead of Brexit deadlines and the U.S. presidential election in November 2020. While we continue to preferdefensive sectors, like utilities and consumer non-cyclicals, we plan to add to high quality bonds across the market where we see attractive spreadopportunities.

Money Markets

Money Market ReviewThe key story that has gripped global markets over the past 12 months has been the Covid-19 pandemic and its economic effects, and more recently, thepowerful global response from central banks and governments.

In the third quarter of 2019, the slowdown in economic growth and heightened trade tensions between the U.S. and China weighed on investor sentiment.These concerns triggered a monetary response both in Europe and the U.S., with the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) cutting benchmark interest rates in Julyand September. Subsequently, government bond yields rallied and equity markets performed well. Trade tensions eased in fourth quarter of 2020 leadingup to a Phase One trade agreement between the U.S. and China. Moreover, global macroeconomic data stabilised, particularly in the U.S. where jobs gainsshowed improvement. Front-end government bond yields continued to fall in the final months of 2019.

The first quarter of 2020 took an unexpected turn, as the spread of Covid-19 gripped markets and brought certain areas of the global economy to a halt inMarch. Equity markets entered bear market territory and credit markets were hurt by a potential liquidity crisis. U.S. dollar investment grade credit spreadsended the quarter 240 bps wider on the ICE BAML 1-5 Year Corporate Index as corporate credit sold off. The 3-month EURIBOR-OIS spread widened out to30 bps.

Leading central banks reacted aggressively. The Fed slashed interest rates by 100 bps and supported market liquidity and the flow of credit via the creationof a range of lending and asset purchasing programmes. The European Central Bank cut its deposit rate by 10 bps and initiated its own range of programmes,including the 750 billion euro Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme and the Corporate Sector Purchase Programme.

The monetary stimulus provided technical support to markets in the second quarter of 2020 and select economies began to ease lockdown restrictions.Despite record unemployment and economists’ expectations of a deep economic recession, financial markets rallied through to June 2020 and investmentgrade credit spreads tightening substantially, ending the 12 month period closing not far from levels seen before the pandemic began. Notably, investorappetite for equity waned in late June, as Covid-19 cases in certain parts of the developed world - particularly in the U.S. - started to rise and some socialrestrictions were re-imposed.

OutlookThe range of possible economic scenarios over the next year is extremely wide and made more challenging as asset prices appear to have become somewhatless connected from the economy amid financial market reliance on central bank stimulus. We expect central bank policy rates in the leading globaleconomies are likely to remain at current levels for three-to-five years, depending on individual economy.

We believe that in these volatile and unpredictable times a conservative approach to credit risk can enable us to deliver investments that protect capital,provide liquidity and generate returns.

Multi-Manager

Market ReviewGlobal equity markets produced positive returns for the 12 months ended 30 June 2020, rebounding from one of the sharpest selloffs in history due to theCovid-19 pandemic fears and the effects of global lockdowns on the economy. Decisive intervention by central banks helped calm markets and governmentaction supported a recovery in equity markets. The MSCI All-Country World Index returned 1.08% for the period. Global bond markets rose strongly on theback of historically low or zero interest rates, with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index returning 4.22% over the period. Despite the positivenumbers, markets exhibited extreme volatility and both equity and credit markets suffered high double-digit losses in March 2020.

Liquid alternative investments protected well in this environment across strategies with hedges and shorts generating strong returns. In addition, the strongcorrection in financial markets created increased opportunities across all strategies: long/short strategies benefitted from wider dispersion across sectorsand individual stocks; relative value strategies benefitted from mispricing among securities; macro strategies benefitted from market uncertainty anduneven reactions to the pandemic among different countries; and credit benefitted from extreme dislocations by as some investors were forced to sellholdings.

OutlookThe outlook for multi-manager alternative strategies remains strong as dispersion across securities is likely offering potential for strong alpha returns frominvestment managers. In addition, increased market volatility should be supportive of these strategies as investment managers across strategies are able tofind opportunities both long and short. Overall, we expect these strategies to continue to benefit from a more fundamental market coupled with increasedinvestor uncertainty.

Responsibilities of the “Réviseur d’entreprises agréé” for the audit of the Financial StatementsThe objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guaranteethat an audit conducted in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a materialmisstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they couldreasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment andmaintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

We also:

· identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

· obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not forthe purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control;

· evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board ofDirectors of the Fund;

· conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors of the Fund’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidenceobtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Fund’s or any of its Sub-Funds’ ability tocontinue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are requi
