2026-05-01 Ticker: CUSDX What is the goal of the Fund? The Fund seeks to generate current income consistent with capital preservation. Fees and Expenses of the Fund The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0025 0 0.0007 0.0032 -0.0013 0.0019 April 30, 2027April 30, 2027April 30, 2027 Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through April 30, 2027 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 19 90 167 393 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 59.33% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.5933 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? The Fund mainly invests in U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar denominated investment grade short-term fixed and floating rate debt securities. While the Fund may invest in securities with various maturities, under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to maintain an average effective portfolio duration of one year or less. Average effective portfolio duration could at times be higher, though it will not under normal market conditions exceed two years.WHAT IS DURATION?Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, the higher a debt security’s duration, the greater its price sensitivity to a change in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). In contrast to duration, maturity measures only the time until final payment is due. Investors should be aware that effective duration is not an exact measurement and may not predict a particular security’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in debt securities of corporate issuers, obligations of governments, government agencies or instrumentalities, including U.S. Treasury securities (including Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (“STRIPS”)), securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, municipal securities, securities issued or guaranteed by supranational organizations and securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments such as certain instruments described above, as well as commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits, deposit notes and bank notes. The instruments in which the Fund invests may pay fixed, variable, or floating interest rates and may include asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities (residential and commercial) (and which may include “to be announced” (“TBA”) transactions), zero-coupon securities, convertible securities, inflation-indexed bonds, repurchase agreements, privately-issued (Rule 144A) securities, Regulation S securities, structured notes, collateralized loan obligations, loan participations, loan assignments and other securities and instruments bearing fixed or variable interest rates. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging market securities, that are U.S. dollar denominated or non-U.S. dollar denominated, and the Fund may seek to hedge such securities’ currency exposure to the U.S. dollar. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, such as open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds. Most of the Fund’s investments will be investment grade at the time of investment, although up to 10% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in below investment grade securities (determined at the time of investment) as described below. The Fund’s investment grade investments will at the time of investment: (i) carry a short-term rating of P-2, A-2 or F2 or higher by any of Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), respectively, or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”); (ii) carry a long-term rating of Baa3, BBB– or BBB– or higher by any of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, or the equivalent by another NRSRO; or (iii) if such investments are unrated, be deemed by a Sub-Adviser (as defined below) to be of comparable quality at the time of investment. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds”), or are unrated securities that a Sub-Adviser determines are of comparable quality. These securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a high degree of risk. A security’s quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade. Due to the nature of the investments in which the Fund is seeking to invest, a significant portion of the issuers of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio may be in the financials sector. The Fund is not a money market fund and is not subject to the special regulatory requirements (including maturity and credit quality constraints) designed to enable money market funds to maintain a stable share price and to limit investment risk. In addition, shareholders are not eligible for certain simplified methods for calculating gains and losses afforded to money market mutual fund shareholders.The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments as substitutes for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest. Derivatives are instruments which have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use futures, options, swaps, and forward contracts, as well as repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, in connection with its principal strategies in certain market conditions in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), constructs the Fund’s portfolio by allocating the Fund’s assets among investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser will periodically review and determine the allocations among investment strategies and may make changes to these allocations when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund. As such, the Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund at any time. In making allocations among investment strategies and/or in changing the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. Each Sub-Adviser may use both its own proprietary and external research and securities selection process to manage its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser is responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Adviser. The Adviser is not required to allocate a minimum amount of Fund assets to any specific Sub-Adviser and may allocate, or re-allocate, zero Fund assets to a specific Sub-Adviser at any time. The Adviser engages the following Sub-Advisers: BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”). The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Advisers at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers, the investment strategies they pursue and the portion of the Fund allocated to them, may change over time. For example, due to market conditions, the Adviser may choose not to allocate Fund assets to a Sub-Adviser or may reduce the portion of the Fund allocated to a Sub-Adviser to zero. Each Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for its respective portion of the Fund and for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct Sub-Advisers as needed on certain Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, including without limitation, for portfolio hedging, to temporarily adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. Below is a summary of each current Sub-Adviser’s investment approach. BlackRock With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, BlackRock primarily invests in fixed and floating-rate securities of varying maturities, such as corporate and government bonds, agency securities, instruments of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market securities, privately-issued securities, securitized products, including asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities (residential and commercial), structured securities, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and securities issued by investment companies. BlackRock may use derivatives such as options, futures or swap agreements to gain exposure to any or all of the foregoing types of investments. BlackRock will actively manage its portfolio and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The portfolio may have a higher portfolio turnover than portfolios that seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. BlackRock’s portfolio management team invests across a range of assets while using a disciplined credit research process to analyze an underlying issuer’s creditworthiness and valuation. The strategy seeks to generate current income consistent with capital preservation by primarily investing in short-term, investment grade bonds.PIMCO With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, PIMCO invests, under normal circumstances, mainly in a portfolio of bonds, debt securities, securitized products and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities with varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures or swap agreements. PIMCO’s strategy focuses on active management of high-quality, fixed income and cash equivalent securities to seek to preserve principal and maintain liquidity. Multiple sources of value are used to seek to generate consistent returns, which include both top-down and bottom-up strategies. Considerations of term, credit, volatility and liquidity are combined with multiple concurrent strategies to build the portfolio and potentially generate value. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may change interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments. Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, their credit quality may deteriorate. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities. Income Risk. The Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall because the Fund may hold a significant portion of short duration securities and/or securities that have floating or variable interest rates. The Fund’s income may decline because the Fund invests in lower yielding bonds, as bonds in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, or when the Fund needs to purchase additional bonds. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV") per share. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge some or all of its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful, including due to delays in placing trades and other operational limitations, and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns. Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages, credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by government-related organization that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities. Collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only and principal-only, are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. Credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes are general obligations issued by a government-related organization or special purpose vehicle, respectively, and are unguaranteed. Unlike mortgage-backed securities, investors in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by a government-related organization have no recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. In addition, some or all of the mortgage default risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to the noteholder. There can be no assurance that losses will not occur on an investment. These investments are also subject to the risks described under “Prepayment Risk.” Debt Securities and Other Callable Securities Risk. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund invests in debt securities. The issuers of these securities and other callable securities may be able to repay principal in advance, especially when interest rates fall. Changes in prepayment rates can affect the return on investment and yield of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. The income generated by investments may not keep pace with inflation. Actions by governments and central banking authorities could result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics and may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Sovereign Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by or guaranteed by sovereign governments, which may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. In times of economic uncertainty in the country at issue, the prices of these securities may be more volatile than those of corporate debt obligations or of other government debt obligations. These securities are also subject to Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging market countries, which can increase the risks of loss. From time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company's performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions. High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. The Fund will not have direct recourse against the borrower when the Fund invests in a loan participation. High yield securities and loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. Zero-Coupon Bond Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. Regulation S Securities Risk. Regulation S securities may be less liquid than publicly traded securities and may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if they were publicly traded. Accordingly, Regulation S securities are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Restricted and Privately Placed Securities Risk. Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public resale unless registered under the applicable securities laws or that have a contractual restriction that prohibits or limits their resale. Restricted securities include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws, such as Rule 144A securities, and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued pursuant to Regulation S. Private placements are generally subject to strict restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. Restricted securities may be illiquid. The Fund may be unable to sell a restricted security on short notice or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. It may be more difficult to determine a market value for a restricted security. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material nonpublic information about the issuer, the Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities. Certain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. Repurchase Agreement Risk. Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund that the counterparty does not meet its obligation under the agreement. Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk. Floating and variable rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the prime rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value. Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”) and Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF’s or investment company’s investments. ETFs, investment companies and other investment vehicles that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their NAV (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly-traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. Structured Notes Risk. Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. The price of structured notes may be very volatile, and such notes may have a limited trading market, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. The payments on a structured note may vary based on changes in one or more specified reference instruments, such as a floating interest rate compared to a fixed interest rate, the exchange rates between two currencies, one or more securities or a securities index. A structured note may be positively or negatively indexed. For example, its principal amount and/or interest rate may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument increases, depending upon the terms of the instrument. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the structured note might pay less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Transactions Risk. TBA purchase commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or if the counterparty does not deliver the securities as promised. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to settlement date. TBA transactions involve counterparty risk. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the Fund to potential loss and could affect the Fund’s returns. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. Municipal Obligations and Securities Risk. Because the Fund may invest in municipal obligations, including municipal securities, the Fund may be susceptible to political, legislative, economic, regulatory, tax or other factors affecting issuers of these municipal obligations, such as state and local governments and their agencies. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or hurt the ability to preserve capital and liquidity. Under some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose. Some securities, including municipal lease obligations, carry additional risks. For example, they may be difficult to trade or interest payments may be tied only to a specific stream of revenue. The amount of public information available about municipal obligations is generally less than for corporate equities or bonds, meaning that the investment performance of municipal obligations may be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the investment adviser than stock or corporate bond investments. The secondary market for municipal obligations also tends to be less well-developed and less liquid than many other securities markets, which may limit the Fund’s ability to sell its municipal obligations at attractive prices. The differences between the price at which an obligation can be purchased and the price at which it can be sold may widen during periods of market distress. Less liquid obligations can become more difficult to value and be subject to erratic price movements. In addition, changes in U.S. federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations. Loss of tax-exempt status may result in a significant decline in the values of such municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. In addition, since some municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to the Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of the Fund’s investments. While interest earned on municipal obligations is generally not subject to federal income tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal obligations is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to state and/or local income tax. In addition to being downgraded, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. The reorganization of a municipality’s debts may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of the Fund’s investments. Interest on municipal obligations, while generally exempt from federal income tax, may not be exempt from federal alternative minimum tax. Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk. Collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of loan obligations. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CLO in which the Fund invests. CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk. For example, a liquidity crisis in the credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and limited liquidity for such instruments. When the Fund invests in CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CLO’s expenses. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. LIBOR Discontinuance Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. After the global financial crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed based on a number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no longer be representative of the underlying markets and, as a result, publication of all LIBOR settings has ceased. New or alternative reference rates have since been used in place of LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR,” which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of U.S dollar overnight borrowings collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (“SONIA,” which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a result of the benchmark reforms, the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, and the Funds have generally transitioned to successor or alternative reference rates as necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most instruments has been completed, there is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity, or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions, and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party market participants, such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain service providers; no assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or its investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform. Non-Money Market Fund Risk. The Fund is not a money market fund. Therefore, the Fund does not attempt to maintain a stable net asset value and is not subject to the rules that govern the diversity, quality, maturity, liquidity and other features of securities that money market funds may purchase. Under normal conditions, the Fund’s investments may be more susceptible than a money market fund to interest rate risk, valuation risk, credit risk and other risks relevant to the Fund’s investments. Unlike certain money market funds, the Fund’s net asset value per share will fluctuate. In addition, shareholders are not eligible for certain simplified methods for calculating gains and losses afforded to money market mutual fund shareholders. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. Each Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to each Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portions of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Multi-Manager Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the skill of the Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Sub-Advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment decisions independently of one another), and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that a Sub-Adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that another Sub-Adviser sells the same security, resulting in higher transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result; or that several Sub-Advisers purchase the same security at the same time, without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher transaction costs. The Fund’s Sub-Advisers may underperform the market generally, underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund and/or underperform private investment funds with similar strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. Subject to the overall supervision of the Fund’s investment program by the Fund’s Adviser, each Sub-Adviser is responsible, with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages, for compliance with the Fund’s investment strategies and applicable law. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of underlying exposures in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Convertible Securities and Contingent Convertible Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Convertible securities may be lower-rated securities subject to greater levels of credit risk. Bank Loan Risk. The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the Fund may have difficulty selling them. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set-off rights, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation. Bank loan transactions may take more than seven days to settle, meaning that proceeds would be unavailable to make additional investments or meet redemptions. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund’s Past Performance This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through April 30, 2027 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 18 84 157 369 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 45.80% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.4580 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? The Fund is designed to provide after-tax total return by actively investing mainly in fixed income securities of varying maturities. The Fund’s portfolio consists of a variety of strategies providing, in normal market conditions, exposure across mainly (but not necessarily exclusively) municipal bonds with varying maturity ranges. While the Fund may invest in securities with various maturities, under normal market conditions, the Fund will seek to maintain a weighted average effective portfolio duration between 3 and 8 years. Under certain market conditions such as in periods of significant volatility in interest rates and spreads, the Fund’s weighted average effective portfolio duration may be shorter than 3 years or longer than 8 years.WHAT IS DURATION?Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or a portfolio of debt securities to relative changes in interest rates. Generally, the higher a debt security’s duration, the greater its price sensitivity to a change in interest rates. For instance, a duration of three years means that a security’s or portfolio’s price would be expected to decrease by approximately 3% with a 1% increase in interest rates (assuming a parallel shift in yield curve). In contrast to duration, maturity measures only the time until final payment is due. Investors should be aware that effective duration is not an exact measurement and may not predict a particular security’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.Prior to May 1, 2026, the Fund had a different investment objective and pursued different investment strategies. As such, for a period of time following this date the Fund may not be invested consistent with its investment strategies or investment approach while the Fund realigns its portfolio in a manner consistent with the investment objective and strategies set forth above and elsewhere in this Prospectus. While the portfolio is being repositioned, the Fund also may have a shorter average duration than after the repositioning is complete (including potentially less than 3 years). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 50% of its total assets in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. The Fund also may invest in taxable instruments. Municipal securities are securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their respective authorities, political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and other groups with the authority to act for the municipalities, the interest on which, if any, is exempt from federal income tax but may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals. Municipal securities may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates and may include, but are not limited to, variable rate demand obligations, short-term municipal notes, municipal bonds (including revenue bonds), municipal whole loans, tax exempt commercial paper, zero-coupon securities, private activity and industrial development bonds, municipal lease obligations, tax anticipation notes, participations in pools of municipal securities, municipal mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations), auction rate securities, callable bonds, securitized products, and restricted securities. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments. The portion of the Fund not invested in municipal securities may include investments in bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public-or private-sector entities, including emerging market securities, and investments in investment companies, including open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds. Municipal securities may also include instruments evidencing direct ownership of interest payments or principal payments, or both, on municipal securities, such as tender option bonds and participation interests in all or part of specific holdings of municipal obligations, provided that the applicable issuer receives assurances from legal counsel that the interest payable on the securities is exempt from federal income tax. Additionally, municipal securities include all other instruments that directly or indirectly provide economic exposure to income which is derived from municipalities. While the Fund intends to generate tax-exempt income through its municipal securities investments, it may generate taxable income and gains through investments in non-tax exempt securities and through sales of both tax-exempt and non-tax exempt securities. Also, although interest on municipal securities is exempt from federal income tax, interest on certain bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals. The Fund also may invest in taxable securities, including but not limited to corporate bonds, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, privately-issued (Rule 144A) securities, loan assignments and participations, U.S. government and agency securities and similar instruments issued by various public- or private-sector entities in the United States and its territories and possessions, including U.S. Treasuries, securities issued by investment companies, including open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds, and other pooled investment vehicles, which may include private funds. Most of the Fund’s investments will be investment grade at the time of investment, although up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in below investment grade securities as described below. The Fund’s investment grade investments will at the time of investment: (i) carry a short-term rating of P-2, A-2 or F2 or higher by any of Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), respectively, or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”); (ii) carry a long-term rating of Baa3, BBB– or BBB– or higher by any of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, or the equivalent by another NRSRO; or (iii) if such investments are unrated, deemed by a Sub-Adviser (as defined below) to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds”), or are unrated securities that a Sub-Adviser determines are of comparable quality. Below investment grade securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a high degree of risk. A security’s quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade. The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, sector and yield curve exposure, credit quality, credit and spread volatility and/or as substitutes for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest. Derivatives are instruments which have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use futures, options, swaps, and forward contracts, as well as repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, in connection with its principal strategies in certain market conditions in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), constructs the Fund’s portfolio by allocating the Fund’s assets among investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”). The Adviser will periodically review and determine the allocations among investment strategies and may make changes to these allocations when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund. As such, the Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund at any time. In making allocations among investment strategies and/or in changing the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. Each Sub-Adviser may use both its own proprietary and external research and securities selection process to manage its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser is responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Adviser. The Adviser is not required to allocate a minimum amount of Fund assets to any specific Sub-Adviser and may allocate, or re-allocate, zero Fund assets to a specific Sub-Adviser at any time. The Adviser engages the following Sub-Advisers: Insight North America LLC (“Insight”) and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”). The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Advisers at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers, the investment strategies they pursue and the portion of the Fund allocated to them, may change over time. For example, due to market conditions, the Adviser may choose not to allocate Fund assets to a Sub-Adviser or may reduce the portion of the Fund allocated to a Sub-Adviser to zero. Each Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for its respective portion of the Fund and for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct Sub-Advisers as needed on certain Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, including without limitation, for portfolio hedging, to temporarily adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. The Fund expects that, when making allocation and investment decisions for the Fund, the Adviser and Sub-Advisers may take into account tax treatment as one of a number of factors relevant to the decision. In making such a decision, the Adviser and Sub-Advisers may determine that other factors are more important than tax treatment and thus cause the Fund to invest in investments that are not tax exempt. Below is a summary of each current Sub-Adviser’s investment approach. Insight With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, Insight normally invests substantially all of the net assets allocated to it in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal personal income tax. Insight may temporarily invest in taxable bonds. Insight focuses on using fundamental credit analysis to identify undervalued sectors and securities as well as opportunities in the municipal bond market arising from pricing inefficiencies in changing economic environments. Insight also seeks to identify relative value across various bond sectors, such as pre-refunded bonds, general obligation bonds, and revenue bonds. Insight takes a pragmatic, long term approach to investing to seek to identify bonds that are attractive, while taking into account risk. Insight uses four key inputs – relative value, credit quality, bond structure, and market opportunities – to identify target exposures and specific investments for the Fund. PIMCO With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, PIMCO’s municipal bond portfolio will seek to generate tax-efficient income and maximize after-tax risk-adjusted total returns. In employing investment strategies to maximize risk-adjusted total returns, PIMCO practices strategy diversification. Through relying on multiple sources of value, PIMCO seeks to generate strong risk-adjusted total return record with a high degree of consistency relative to the benchmark (though there can be no assurances that PIMCO will achieve these objectives). PIMCO also seeks to add value through “top down” strategies, such as interest rate exposure, yield curve positioning, sector rotation and yield volatility. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Municipal Obligations and Securities Risk. Because the Fund may invest in municipal obligations, including municipal securities, the Fund may be susceptible to political, legislative, economic, regulatory, tax or other factors affecting issuers of these municipal obligations, such as state and local governments and their agencies. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or hurt the ability to preserve capital and liquidity. Under some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose. Some securities, including municipal lease obligations, carry additional risks. For example, they may be difficult to trade or interest payments may be tied only to a specific stream of revenue. The amount of public information available about municipal obligations is generally less than for corporate equities or bonds, meaning that the investment performance of municipal obligations may be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the investment adviser than stock or corporate bond investments. The secondary market for municipal obligations also tends to be less well-developed and less liquid than many other securities markets, which may limit the Fund’s ability to sell its municipal obligations at attractive prices. The differences between the price at which an obligation can be purchased and the price at which it can be sold may widen during periods of market distress. Less liquid obligations can become more difficult to value and be subject to erratic price movements. In addition, changes in U.S. federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations. Loss of tax-exempt status may result in a significant decline in the values of such municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. In addition, since some municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to the Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of the Fund’s investments. While interest earned on municipal obligations is generally not subject to federal income tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal obligations is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to state and/or local income tax. In addition to being downgraded, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. The reorganization of a municipality’s debts may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of the Fund’s investments. Interest on municipal obligations, while generally exempt from federal income tax, may not be exempt from federal alternative minimum tax. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may change interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments. Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, their credit quality may deteriorate. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities. Income Risk. The Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall because the Fund may hold a significant portion of short duration securities and/or securities that have floating or variable interest rates. The Fund’s income may decline because the Fund invests in lower yielding bonds, as bonds in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, or when the Fund needs to purchase additional bonds. High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. The Fund will not have direct recourse against the borrower when the Fund invests in a loan participation. High yield securities and loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge some or all of its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful, including due to delays in placing trades and other operational limitations, and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns. Sovereign Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by or guaranteed by sovereign governments, which may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. In times of economic uncertainty in the country at issue, the prices of these securities may be more volatile than those of corporate debt obligations or of other government debt obligations. These securities are also subject to Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging market countries, which can increase the risks of loss. From time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company's performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions. Zero-Coupon Bond Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. Restricted and Privately Placed Securities Risk. Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public resale unless registered under the applicable securities laws or that have a contractual restriction that prohibits or limits their resale. Restricted securities include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws, such as Rule 144A securities, and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued pursuant to Regulation S. Private placements are generally subject to strict restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. Restricted securities may be illiquid. The Fund may be unable to sell a restricted security on short notice or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. It may be more difficult to determine a market value for a restricted security. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material nonpublic information about the issuer, the Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities. Certain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages, credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by government-related organization that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities. Collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only and principal-only, are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. Credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes are general obligations issued by a government-related organization or special purpose vehicle, respectively, and are unguaranteed. Unlike mortgage-backed securities, investors in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by a government-related organization have no recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. In addition, some or all of the mortgage default risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to the noteholder. There can be no assurance that losses will not occur on an investment. These investments are also subject to the risks described under “Prepayment Risk.” Municipal Project Housing-Related (Municipal Whole Loans) Risk. The Fund may invest in the bonds of projects focused on low-income, affordable or other housing developments and businesses located in low-income areas or invest in or originate loans that finance or are generally related to such projects. There are significant risks associated with the Fund’s investment in the bonds of these types of projects and loans related to such projects. There may be federal, state and local governmental regulatory restrictions on the operation, rental and transfer of these projects, such as the requirement that the owners of these affordable housing developments rent or sell certain residential units to persons or families of low or moderate income and that the amount of rent that may be charged for these units may be less than market rates. These restrictions may adversely affect economic performance relative to properties that are not subject to these restrictions. There are also no assurances that a project owner will be able to achieve and maintain sufficient rental income in or the Fund’s investment in such municipal project housing-related securities may be heightened due to the possibility of reduced tax or other revenue available to issuers of municipal project housing-related securities causing an increase of budgetary and financial pressure on either the municipality or other issuers of municipal securities. Loan Participations and Assignments Risk. The Fund may invest in fixed- and floating-rate loans, which investments generally will be in the form of loan participations and assignments of all or portions of such loans. Participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including extension risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. Loans are subject to the risk that scheduled interest or principal payments will not be made in a timely manner or at all, either of which may adversely affect the value of the loan. In addition, the collateral underlying a loan may be unavailable or insufficient to satisfy a borrower’s obligation, and a Fund could become part owner of any collateral if a loan is foreclosed, subjecting the Fund to costs associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. If a Fund purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments or redemptions occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk. Floating and variable rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the prime rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value. Structured Municipal Product Risk. Structured municipal products, such as tender option bonds, involve structural complexities and potential risks that may not be present where a municipal security is owned directly. These enhanced risks may include additional counterparty risk (the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations) and call risk (the risk that the instruments will be called and the proceeds may need to be reinvested). Additionally, an active trading market for such instruments may not exist. To the extent that a structured municipal product provides a put, the Fund may receive a lower interest rate in return for such feature and will be subject to the risk that the put provider will be unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Finally, short-term municipal or tax-exempt structured products may present tax issues not presented by investments in other short-term municipal or tax-exempt securities. These issues might be resolved in a manner adverse to the Fund. Debt Securities and Other Callable Securities Risk. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund invests in debt securities. The issuers of these securities and other callable securities may be able to repay principal in advance, especially when interest rates fall. Changes in prepayment rates can affect the return on investment and yield of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. The income generated by investments may not keep pace with inflation. Actions by governments and central banking authorities could result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. Bank Loan Risk. The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the Fund may have difficulty selling them. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set-off rights, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation. Bank loan transactions may take more than seven days to settle, meaning that proceeds would be unavailable to make additional investments or meet redemptions. Impairment of Collateral Risk. The value of collateral securing a debt instrument could decline, be insufficient to satisfy the obligation or be difficult to liquidate. The Fund’s access to the collateral could be limited by bankruptcy or by the type of loan it purchases. As a result, a collateralized debt instrument may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics and may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Repurchase Agreement Risk. Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund that the counterparty does not meet its obligation under the agreement. Auction Rate Securities Risk. The auction rate municipal securities the Fund will purchase will typically have a long-term nominal maturity for which the interest rate is regularly reset through a “Dutch” auction. The interest rate set by the auction is the lowest interest rate that covers all securities offered for sale. While this process is designed to permit auction rate securities to be traded at par value, there is a risk that an auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities, which may adversely affect the liquidity and price of auction rate securities. Moreover, between auctions, there may be no secondary market for these securities, and sales conducted on a secondary market may not be on terms favorable to the seller. Thus, with respect to liquidity and price stability, auction rate securities may differ substantially from cash equivalents, notwithstanding the frequency of auctions and the credit quality of the security. Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”) and Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF’s or investment company’s investments. ETFs, investment companies and other investment vehicles that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their NAV (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly-traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. Tax Aware Investing Risk. The Fund’s tax aware strategies may reduce your taxable income, but will not eliminate it. These strategies may require trade-offs that reduce pretax income. Managing the Fund to maximize after-tax returns may also potentially have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. Because tax consequences are considered in managing the Fund, the Fund’s pre-tax performance may be lower than that of a similar fund that is not tax-managed. Even though tax aware strategies are being used, they may not reduce the amount of taxable income and capital gains distributed by the Fund to shareholders, or the amount of Fund distributions that are taxable at ordinary income rates. Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable or there may be unfavorable changes in tax laws or noncompliant conduct of a securities issuer that may cause income from all or certain municipal securities to be taxable. In such event, the value of such securities would likely fall, hurting the Fund’s performance. In addition, all or a portion of the Fund’s distributions that otherwise would have been exempt interest distributions would be treated as taxable distributions. Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. The Fund may invest in securities, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Municipal Securities Concentration Risk. The Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities where the issuer is regarded as a state, city, municipality or other public authority or in municipal securities with governmental guarantees or in housing authority obligations. As a result, the Fund could be more susceptible to developments which affect those obligations. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. LIBOR Discontinuance Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. After the global financial crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed based on a number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no longer be representative of the underlying markets and, as a result, publication of all LIBOR settings has ceased. New or alternative reference rates have since been used in place of LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR,” which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of U.S dollar overnight borrowings collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (“SONIA,” which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a result of the benchmark reforms, the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, and the Funds have generally transitioned to successor or alternative reference rates as necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most instruments has been completed, there is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity, or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions, and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party market participants, such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain service providers; no assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or its investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform. To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Transactions Risk. TBA purchase commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or if the counterparty does not deliver the securities as promised. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to settlement date. TBA transactions involve counterparty risk. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the Fund to potential loss and could affect the Fund’s returns. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. Each Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to each Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portions of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of underlying exposures in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Multi-Manager Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the skill of the Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Sub-Advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment decisions independently of one another), and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that a Sub-Adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that another Sub-Adviser sells the same security, resulting in higher transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result; or that several Sub-Advisers purchase the same security at the same time, without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher transaction costs. The Fund’s Sub-Advisers may underperform the market generally, underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund and/or underperform private investment funds with similar strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. Subject to the overall supervision of the Fund’s investment program by the Fund’s Adviser, each Sub-Adviser is responsible, with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages, for compliance with the Fund’s investment strategies and applicable law. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund’s Past Performance This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0025 0 0.0001 0.0026 -0.0021 0.0005 April 30, 2027April 30, 2027April 30, 2027 Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through April 30, 2027 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 5 62 125 310 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 61.09% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.6109 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in equity securities issued by U.S. companies and other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities issued by U.S. companies. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock and securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common or preferred stock. The Fund is generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or industry sector. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that own and/or manage properties. From time to time, the Fund may also use derivatives, including futures, forward contracts and swaps (including but not limited to total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference), to manage short-term liquidity and/or as substitutes for comparable market positions in the securities in the applicable Indexes (as defined below). For purposes of this 80% investment policy, the Fund will treat an investment in derivatives as an investment in the securities underlying such derivatives and will value such derivatives at market value. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change to its 80% investment policy. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. A non-diversified fund is permitted (but is not required) to invest a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers.The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), primarily seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by actively allocating and reallocating the Fund’s assets among equity securities (or other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities) in various U.S. industrial or economic sectors or sub-sectors (such as, by way of example only, companies in the automotive or health care sector) that the Adviser believes provide attractive investment opportunities at that time. In doing so, the Adviser is not limited to any specific sectors and may choose to allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among any sectors or sub-sectors the Adviser chooses at the time. In order to implement its allocation decisions, the Adviser selects various publicly available equity indexes (such as an index of the largest U.S. companies), or specific portions (sub-indexes) of such an index (such as the automotive sector within the larger index) (together, the “Indexes”), that represent the sectors to which the Adviser desires to allocate the Fund’s assets. Generally, an Index will represent a certain industry, geographic region or other sector component of a publicly available U.S. equity index. Once the Adviser has selected the desired Indexes, it determines how much of the Fund’s assets to allocate or reallocate to each Index and instructs the Fund’s current sub-adviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” or “BlackRock”), to invest the allocated assets in a manner that seeks to replicate the investment performance of the respective Indexes. We refer to an allocation of the Fund’s assets to a specific Index as an “indexed investment strategy.” As discussed in more detail below, BlackRock then seeks to manage each indexed investment strategy in a manner that will replicate the investment performance of the respective Index. The Adviser, depending on its investment views, may regularly allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among different or new indexed investment strategies and may cease allocating to existing indexed investment strategies. The Fund’s assets may be allocated to multiple indexed investment strategies at any time. In addition to allocating and reallocating the Fund’s assets among one or more indexed investment strategies, the Adviser may also select securities of specific individual companies for the Fund to purchase or sell on an ongoing basis and the amount of the Fund’s assets to allocate to such securities. We refer collectively to the securities selected by the Adviser in this manner as the “Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve.” When the Adviser makes individual security selections in this manner for the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, the securities will be publicly traded large capitalization U.S. equity securities and the securities may represent a variety of U.S. sectors, sub-sectors or industries. These individual securities in the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve will be selected by the Adviser based on its investment analysis in order to assist with portfolio construction, risk management, liquidity considerations or a combination thereof. For example, the Adviser may determine to invest in a specific security within a broader Index, if it believes doing so would be preferable from an investment perspective to investing in all of the companies within that Index. In order to implement these individual security selections within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, the Adviser then directs the Sub-Adviser to invest a specified allocation of the Fund’s assets so as to replicate the investment performance of the identified securities within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve. Currently, under normal market conditions, the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve is not expected to constitute more than 45% of the Fund’s total assets. The Adviser is not obligated to select individual securities or to maintain a Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve and may allocate the Fund’s assets solely among indexed investment strategies. In allocating the assets of the Fund among indexed investment strategies, or selecting individual securities within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, the Adviser generally makes investment decisions based on a combination of financial analysis of individual companies, industries, sectors and geographies, such as financial modeling and individual company research. The Adviser also incorporates into its investment process macro-economic considerations, factors and trends, as well as analysis of risk, liquidity, potential for tracking error and other portfolio construction factors. The Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of indexed investment strategies employed by the Fund at any time or the securities within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, or add other investment strategies, including active strategies, managed by one or more sub-advisers at any time. As described in the box below, in making allocations among the indexed investment strategies and the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, and/or in changing the categories of indexed investment strategies and other investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser also expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. BlackRock BlackRock, the Sub-Adviser, manages each individual indexed investment strategy (and the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve) to which the Adviser has allocated Fund assets with the goal of replicating the performance of the respective Index (and the individual securities within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve). BlackRock also facilitates the transition among indexed investment strategies as directed by the Adviser. BlackRock seeks to manage each of the indexed investment strategies by replicating the Index fully when applicable or investing in a quantitatively selected portfolio of securities with characteristics expected to match the performance of the applicable Index, including through the use of derivatives such as futures, forwards and swaps (including but not limited to total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference). The securities selected for each indexed investment strategy are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the applicable Index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in an applicable Index and BlackRock is free to use its discretion as to how best to replicate the performance of each applicable Index. General Information The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Adviser and any additional sub-adviser of the Fund at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Adviser or Sub-Advisers, or the portion of the Fund allocated to it or them, may change over time. Generally, except in the case of the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for the Fund. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser is generally responsible for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct the Sub-Adviser as needed on Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, either by instructing the Sub-Adviser or otherwise, including without limitation, when it has high conviction views, for portfolio hedging, to adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) may be more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. If a company becomes insolvent, its equity securities are repaid only after all other debts of the company have been repaid. This can result in a potential severe reduction in, or total loss of, their value. Investing in equity securities may also expose the Fund to inflation and currency risk. Further, the investor will be exposed to the specific risks of the industry in which the company operates. For example, a computer chip manufacturer might have exposure to the availability and price of certain metals. Equity securities may or may not be registered, publicly listed or traded on an exchange, and these securities are more likely to be illiquid and therefore subject to a higher degree of liquidity risk than registered or listed securities. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities. The value of the Fund’s shares may also be more volatile than the value of a fund which invests in more securities. Large Cap Company Risk. To the extent the Fund invests principally in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when the Fund’s securities are out of favor. Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Smaller Company Risk. Because the Fund may invest in equity investments of companies across all market capitalizations, the Fund’s risks increase as it invests more heavily in smaller companies (mid capitalization and small capitalization companies). Investments in smaller companies may be riskier than investments in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies tend to be less liquid than securities of larger companies. In addition, small companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, the changes in value of their securities may be more sudden or erratic than in large capitalization companies, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of the Fund’s investments. Real Estate Investment Trusts Risk. The Fund’s investments in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. Debt securities of REITs are also subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity securities of REITs. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. For example, the Fund may, at the direction of the Adviser, frequently reallocate its assets among different indexed investment strategies, which could cause the Sub-Adviser frequently to replace a significant portion of the securities and other instruments in the Fund’s portfolio through sales and purchases so as to reflect the changing allocations, including selling and repurchasing the same securities in quick succession. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Information Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability. Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. Tracking Error Risk. In carrying out the investment program of the Fund, a Sub-Adviser will typically be instructed by the Adviser to replicate the performance of one or more indexes, although the Fund is not a passive index fund. Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of those indexes. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in those indexes, pricing differences (including differences between a security’s price at the local market close and the Fund’s valuation of a security at the time of calculation of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV")), differences in transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to those indexes or the costs to the Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while those indexes do not. Additionally, to comply with regulatory requirements, the Fund does not invest in securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. This could cause the Fund to experience tracking error when an index includes such securities. Liquidity Risk. Low trading volume, a lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions may limit the Fund’s ability to value securities, or prevent the Fund from selling securities or closing derivative positions at desirable times or prices. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of index components and the indexed investment strategies in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities represent an equity interest in a company that generally entitles the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other securities such as common stocks, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred and other senior securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred and other senior securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred and other senior securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. The Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portion of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through April 30, 2027 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 8 70 137 336 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 48.43% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.4843 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in equity securities and other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock and securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common or preferred stock. The Fund primarily invests in the equity securities of non-U.S. companies and is generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or sector or non-U.S. country. Non-U.S. companies can be companies where: (i) the relevant security is issued outside the United States; (ii) the principal trading market for the relevant security is outside the United States; (iii) the company is organized under the laws of a non-U.S. country; (iv) the company derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from a non-U.S. country or has at least 50% of its total assets situated in a non-U.S. country; or (v) the company is a foreign government (or any political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such government). In addition to equity securities issued by companies in developed countries, which will be the Fund’s focus, the Fund may also invest in companies in emerging markets or developing countries, U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign entities, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) or Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), including unsponsored ADRs or GDRs. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that own and/or manage properties. From time to time, the Fund may also use derivatives, including futures, forward contracts and swaps (including but not limited to total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference), to manage short-term liquidity and/or as substitutes for comparable market positions in the securities in the applicable Indexes (as defined below). For purposes of this 80% investment policy, the Fund will treat an investment in derivatives as an investment in the securities underlying such derivatives and will value such derivatives at market value. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change to its 80% investment policy. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. A non-diversified fund is permitted (but is not required) to invest a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), primarily seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by actively allocating and reallocating the Fund’s assets among equity securities (or other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities) in various non-U.S. sectors or subsectors, or geographical regions (such as, by way of example only, companies in the European financial sector) that the Adviser believes provide attractive investment opportunities at that time. In doing so, the Adviser is not limited to any specific sectors and may choose to allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among any sectors or sub-sectors the Adviser chooses at the time. In order to implement its allocation decisions, the Adviser selects various publicly available equity indexes (such as an index of the European companies), or specific portions (sub-indexes) of such an index (such as the financial sector within the larger index) (together, the “Indexes”), that represent the sectors to which the Adviser desires to allocate the Fund’s assets. Generally, an Index will represent a certain industry, geographic region or other sector component of a publicly available non- U.S. equity index. Once the Adviser has selected the desired Indexes, it determines how much of the Fund’s assets to allocate or reallocate to each Index and instructs the Fund’s current sub-adviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” or “BlackRock”), to invest the allocated assets in a manner that seeks to replicate the investment performance of the respective Indexes. We refer to an allocation of the Fund’s assets to a specific Index as an “indexed investment strategy.” As discussed in more detail below, BlackRock then seeks to manage each indexed investment strategy in a manner that will replicate the investment performance of the respective Index. The Adviser, depending on its investment views, may regularly allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among different or new indexed investment strategies and may cease allocating to existing indexed investment strategies. The Fund’s assets may be allocated to multiple indexed investment strategies at any time. In addition to allocating and reallocating the Fund’s assets among one or more indexed investment strategies, the Adviser may also select securities of specific individual companies for the Fund to purchase or sell on an ongoing basis and the amount of the Fund’s assets to allocate to such securities. We refer collectively to the securities selected by the Adviser in this manner as the “Custom International Equity Sleeve.” When the Adviser makes individual security selections in this manner for the Custom International Equity Sleeve, the securities will be publicly traded non-U.S. equity securities and the securities may represent a variety of non-U.S. sectors, sub-sectors, industries or geographical regions. These individual securities in the Custom International Equity Sleeve will be selected by the Adviser based on its investment analysis in order to assist with portfolio construction, risk management, liquidity considerations or a combination thereof. For example, the Adviser may determine to invest in a specific security within a broader Index, if it believes doing so would be preferable from an investment perspective to investing in all of the companies within that Index. In order to implement these individual security selections within the Custom International Equity Sleeve, the Adviser then directs the Sub- Adviser to invest a specified allocation of the Fund’s assets so as to replicate the investment performance of the identified securities within the Custom International Equity Sleeve. Currently, under normal market conditions, the Custom International Equity Sleeve is not expected to constitute more than 45% of the Fund’s total assets. The Adviser is not obligated to select individual securities or to maintain a Custom International Equity Sleeve and may allocate the Fund’s assets solely among indexed investment strategies. In allocating the assets of the Fund among indexed investment strategies, or selecting individual securities within the Custom International Equity Sleeve, the Adviser generally makes investment decisions based on a combination of financial analysis of individual companies, industries, sectors and geographies, such as financial modeling and individual company research. The Adviser also incorporates into its investment process macro-economic considerations, factors and trends, as well as analysis of risk, liquidity, potential for tracking error and other portfolio construction factors. The Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of indexed investment strategies employed by the Fund at any time or the securities within the Custom International Equity Sleeve, or add other investment strategies, including active strategies, managed by one or more sub-advisers at any time. As described in the box below, in making allocations among the indexed investment strategies and the Custom International Equity Sleeve, and/or in changing the categories of indexed investment strategies and other investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser also expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. BlackRock BlackRock, the Sub-Adviser, manages each individual indexed investment strategy (and the Custom International Equity Sleeve) to which the Adviser has allocated Fund assets with the goal of replicating the performance of the respective Index (and the individual securities within the Custom International Equity Sleeve). BlackRock also facilitates the transition among indexed investment strategies as directed by the Adviser. BlackRock seeks to manage each of the indexed investment strategies by replicating the Index fully when applicable or investing in a quantitatively selected portfolio of securities with characteristics expected to match the performance of the applicable Index, including through the use of derivatives such as futures, forwards and swaps (including but not limited to total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference). The securities selected for each indexed investment strategy are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the applicable Index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in an applicable Index and BlackRock is free to use its discretion as to how best to replicate the performance of each applicable Index. General Information The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Adviser and any additional sub-adviser of the Fund at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Adviser or Sub-Advisers, or the portion of the Fund allocated to it or them, may change over time. Generally, except in the case of the Custom International Equity Sleeve, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for the Fund. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser is generally responsible for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct the Sub-Adviser as needed on Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, either by instructing the Sub-Adviser or otherwise, including without limitation, when it has high conviction views, for portfolio hedging, to adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) may be more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. If a company becomes insolvent, its equity securities are repaid only after all other debts of the company have been repaid. This can result in a potential severe reduction in, or total loss of, their value. Investing in equity securities may also expose the Fund to inflation and currency risk. Further, the investor will be exposed to the specific risks of the industry in which the company operates. For example, a computer chip manufacturer might have exposure to the availability and price of certain metals. Equity securities may or may not be registered, publicly listed or traded on an exchange, and these securities are more likely to be illiquid and therefore subject to a higher degree of liquidity risk than registered or listed securities. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging market countries, which can increase the risks of loss. From time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company's performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. For example, the Fund may, at the direction of the Adviser, frequently reallocate its assets among different indexed investment strategies, which could cause the Sub-Adviser frequently to replace a significant portion of the securities and other instruments in the Fund’s portfolio through sales and purchases so as to reflect the changing allocations, including selling and repurchasing the same securities in quick succession. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. European Market Risk. The Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in the various countries in which it invests in Europe and in Europe more generally, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. Asia Pacific Market Risk. The small size of securities markets and the low trading volume in some countries in the Asia Pacific Region may lead to a lack of liquidity. Also, some Asia Pacific economies and financial markets have been extremely volatile in recent years. Many of the countries in the region are developing, both politically and economically. They may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on only a few commodities or industries. The share prices of companies in the region tend to be volatile and there is a significant possibility of loss. Also, some companies in the region may have less established product markets or a small management group and they may be more vulnerable to political or economic conditions, like nationalization. In addition, some countries have restricted the flow of money in and out of the country. Certain of the currencies in the Asia Pacific region have experienced extreme volatility relative to the U.S. dollar. For example, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea have had currency crises and have sought help from the International Monetary Fund. Holding securities in currencies that are devalued (or in companies whose revenues are substantially in currencies that are devalued) will likely decrease the value of the Fund. The trading volume on some Asia Pacific region stock exchanges is much lower than in the United States, and Asia Pacific region securities of some companies are less liquid and more volatile than similar U.S. securities. In addition, brokerage commissions on regional stock exchanges are fixed and are generally higher than the negotiated commissions in the United States. The imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in the economy of a significant trading partner could adversely impact Asia Pacific companies. If the Fund concentrates in the Asia Pacific region, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that invests globally. If Asia Pacific securities fall out of favor, it may cause a fund that concentrates in the Asia Pacific region to underperform funds that do not concentrate in the Asia Pacific region. Greater China Region Risk. In addition to the risks listed under “Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk,” investments in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan are subject to significant legal, regulatory, monetary and economic risks, as well as the potential for regional and global conflicts, including actions that are contrary to the interests of the U.S. Investments in Mainland China involve political and legal uncertainties, currency fluctuations and aggressive currency controls, the risk of confiscatory taxation, and nationalization or expropriation of assets, which could adversely affect and significantly diminish the values of the Mainland Chinese companies in which the Fund invests. The Mainland Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by greater price volatility. Mainland China is dominated by the one-party rule of the Communist Party, and the Mainland Chinese government exercises significant control over Mainland China’s economic growth. There is the potential of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the United States and Mainland China. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions, or even the threat of such developments, could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on Mainland Chinese companies and a commensurately negative impact on the Fund. There is also the risk that the U.S. government or other governments may sanction Chinese issuers or otherwise prohibit U.S. persons (such as the Fund) from investing in certain Chinese issuers, which may negatively affect the liquidity and price of their securities. The political reunification of Mainland China and Taiwan, over which Mainland China continues to claim sovereignty, is a highly complex issue. There is the potential for future political, military or economic disturbances that may have an adverse impact on the values of the Fund’s investments in Mainland China and elsewhere, or make certain Fund investments impractical or impossible. Any escalation of hostility between Mainland China and Taiwan would likely have a significant adverse impact on the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments in both Mainland China and elsewhere, causing substantial investment losses for the Fund. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. Since Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, it has been governed by the Basic Law. Under the Basic Law, Hong Kong was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy in certain matters, including economic matters, until 2047. Attempts by the government of Mainland China to exert greater control over Hong Kong’s economic, political or legal structures or its existing social policy could negatively affect investor confidence in Hong Kong (as has been the case previously during certain periods), which in turn could negatively affect markets and business performance. Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge some or all of its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful, including due to delays in placing trades and other operational limitations, and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns. Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities. The value of the Fund’s shares may also be more volatile than the value of a fund which invests in more securities. Large Cap Company Risk. To the extent the Fund invests principally in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when the Fund’s securities are out of favor. Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Smaller Company Risk. Because the Fund may invest in equity investments of companies across all market capitalizations, the Fund’s risks increase as it invests more heavily in smaller companies (mid capitalization and small capitalization companies). Investments in smaller companies may be riskier than investments in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies tend to be less liquid than securities of larger companies. In addition, small companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, the changes in value of their securities may be more sudden or erratic than in large capitalization companies, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of the Fund’s investments. Depositary Receipts (ADRs and GDRs) Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of foreign issuers in the form of depositary receipts or other securities convertible into securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest in both sponsored and unsponsored ADRs, GDRs and other similar global instruments. In addition to investment risks associated with the underlying issuer, depositary receipts expose the Fund to additional risks associated with the non-uniform terms that apply to depositary receipt programs, credit exposure to the depository bank and to the sponsors and other parties with whom the depository bank establishes the programs, currency risk and liquidity risk. Unsponsored ADR and GDR programs are organized independently and without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying securities. Unsponsored programs generally expose investors to greater risks than sponsored programs and do not provide holders with many of the shareholder benefits that come from investing in a sponsored depositary receipt. Available information concerning the issuer may not be as current as for sponsored ADRs and GDRs, and the prices of unsponsored ADRs and GDRs may be more volatile than if such instruments were sponsored by the issuer. Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. Real Estate Investment Trusts Risk. The Fund’s investments in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. Debt securities of REITs are also subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity securities of REITs. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors. Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. Tracking Error Risk. In carrying out the investment program of the Fund, a Sub-Adviser will typically be instructed by the Adviser to replicate the performance of one or more indexes, although the Fund is not a passive index fund. Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of those indexes. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in those indexes, pricing differences (including differences between a security’s price at the local market close and the Fund’s valuation of a security at the time of calculation of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV")), differences in transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to those indexes or the costs to the Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while those indexes do not. Funds that track indexes with significant weight in emerging markets issuers may experience higher tracking error than other funds that do not track such indexes. Additionally, to comply with regulatory requirements, the Fund does not invest in securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. This could cause the Fund to experience tracking error when an index includes such securities. Liquidity Risk. Low trading volume, a lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions may limit the Fund’s ability to value securities, or prevent the Fund from selling securities or closing derivative positions at desirable times or prices. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of index components and the indexed investment strategies in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities represent an equity interest in a company that generally entitles the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other securities such as common stocks, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred and other senior securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred and other senior securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred and other senior securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. The Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portion of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund’s Past Performance This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund has varied from year to year since the Fund’s inception (i.e., for the past seven calendar years).

Ticker: CGLBX What is the goal of the Fund? The Fund seeks to provide total return. Fees and Expenses of the Fund The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0025 0 0.0008 0.0033 -0.0020 0.0013 April 30, 2027April 30, 2027April 30, 2027 Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through April 30, 2027 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 13 86 165 399 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 158.83% of the average value of its portfolio. 1.5883 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? The Fund is designed to provide total return by actively investing mainly in a global portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities with varying maturities. The Fund’s portfolio will consist of a variety of strategies providing exposures mainly across government, corporate and securitized credit fixed income sectors. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in fixed income securities and other related instruments with similar economic characteristics. Generally, such bonds will have varying maturities. As part of this investment strategy, the Fund will invest in some or all of the following: debt securities of corporate issuers, obligations of governments, government agencies or instrumentalities, including U.S. Treasury securities (including Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (“STRIPS”)), securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by supranational organizations, securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) (residential or commercial) (and which may include “to be announced” (“TBA”) transactions) and other debt securities. Mortgage-related and MBS may be structured as collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) (agency and non-agency), stripped MBS (mortgage securities split into interest-only and principal only securities), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), or mortgage pass-through securities (interests in securities representing pools of mortgages). These securities may be structured such that payments consist of interest-only, principal-only or principal and interest. The instruments in which the Fund invests may pay fixed, variable, or floating interest rates and may consist of zero-coupon securities, convertible securities, inflation-linked securities (including Treasury Inflation Protected Securities), repurchase agreements, privately-issued (Rule 144A) securities, structured notes, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), loan participations, loan assignments and other securities and instruments bearing fixed or variable interest rates. As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate debt securities issued in developed and emerging markets. These securities may include debt securities issued by governments and their agencies, state and provincial governmental entities, supranational organizations, corporations, and banks. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities, including emerging market securities, that are U.S. dollar denominated or non-U.S. dollar denominated, and the Fund may seek to hedge such securities’ currency exposure to the U.S. dollar. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, such as open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds, and other pooled investment vehicles, which may include private funds.For purposes of the 80% investment policy, the Fund will treat an investment in derivatives as an investment in the securities underlying such derivatives and will value such derivatives at market value. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change to its 80% investment policy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest in a number of different countries around the world, with the portfolio as a whole economically tied to at least four countries, including the United States; however, the Fund may invest a substantial part of its assets in just one country and is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries. The Fund has broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of debt securities and instruments of any maturity and will not be managed to a target duration or average weighted maturity. Most of the Fund’s investments will be investment grade at the time of investment, although up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in below investment grade securities (commonly known as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds”). The Fund’s investment grade investments will at the time of investment: (i) carry a long-term rating of Baa3, BBB– or BBB– or higher by any of Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), respectively, or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”); (ii) carry a short-term rating of P-2, A-2 or F2 or higher by any of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, or the equivalent by another NRSRO; or (iii) if such investments are unrated, be deemed by a Sub-Adviser (as defined below) to be of comparable quality at the time of investment. Below investment grade securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a high degree of risk. A security’s quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade. The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, credit quality, and currency risk and/or as substitutes for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest. A derivative is an instrument that has a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use futures, swaps, forward contracts, foreign exchange instruments (spot and forward), options (including options on swaps), and structured notes, as well as repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, in connection with its principal strategies in certain market conditions in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes, as a substitute for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest or to increase income or gain to the Fund. The Fund may also use currency-related transactions involving currency derivatives as part of its investment strategy to hedge currency risk. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. A non-diversified fund is permitted (but is not required) to invest a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers. Due to the nature of the investments in which the Fund is seeking to invest, at times a significant portion of the issuers of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio may be in the financials sector.The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), constructs the Fund’s portfolio by allocating the Fund’s assets among fixed income exposures and investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”). Additionally, the Sub-Advisers may in turn allocate to one or more additional sub-advisers (each, a “Sub-Sub-Adviser”) a portion of the assets allocated to them by the Adviser. Certain references herein to the Sub-Adviser may also include a Sub-Sub-Adviser, as the context requires. In allocating the assets of the Fund, the Adviser will generally make strategic and tactical allocation decisions by directing shifts in allocations among the various fixed income exposures and investment strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers that target risk profiles and investment exposures across the global government, global corporate, and global securitized fixed income universe. The Adviser will periodically review and determine the allocations among the fixed income exposures and investment strategies and may make changes to these allocations when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund. The Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of fixed income exposures and investment strategies employed by the Fund, or add other fixed income exposures and investment strategies, including active strategies, managed by the Sub-Advisers. In making allocations among such fixed income exposures and investment strategies and/or in changing the categories of fixed income exposures and investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. Each Sub-Adviser may use both its own proprietary and external research and securities selection process to manage its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser is responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Adviser. The Adviser is not required to allocate a minimum amount of Fund assets to any specific Sub-Adviser and may allocate, or re-allocate, zero Fund assets to a specific Sub-Adviser at any time. The Sub-Advisers are responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Sub-Adviser. The Adviser engages the following Sub-Advisers: BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”), Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”) and PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”). BlackRock currently allocates assets to BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”) and BlackRock (Singapore) Limited (“BSL”), while PGIM currently allocates assets to PGIM Limited (“PGIML”). The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Advisers at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers, the investment strategies they pursue and the portion of the Fund allocated to them, may change over time. For example, due to market conditions, the Adviser may choose not to allocate Fund assets to a Sub-Adviser or may reduce the portion of the Fund allocated to a Sub-Adviser to zero. Each Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for its respective portion of the Fund and for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct Sub-Advisers as needed on certain Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, including without limitation, for portfolio hedging, to temporarily adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. Below is a summary of each current Sub-Adviser’s investment approach. BlackRock With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, BlackRock (together with BIL and BSL) will use an approach that seeks to achieve and/or enhance the performance of various segments of one or more public global bond indexes. These segments, which are selected by the Adviser to implement the Adviser’s on-going strategic and tactical investment decisions for the Fund, represent different components of the fixed income universe, such as segments representing various geographies, industries, security types (e.g., government securities or asset-backed securities), credit ratings or maturities. BlackRock (together with BIL and BSL) will reallocate among segments as instructed by the Adviser. PGIM With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, PGIM (together with PGIML) will actively manage two components of the Fund’s investment strategy. In the first component PGIM (together with PGIML) will invest primarily in government bonds, interest rate securities and derivatives. In the second component PGIM (together with PGIML) will invest primarily in corporate, credit intensive bonds and credit derivatives. PIMCO With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, PIMCO will actively invest mainly in a portfolio of securitized debt, interest rate derivatives, and derivatives tied to securitized debt (including covered bonds, MBS, asset-backed securities, CMBS, and CLOs). General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may change interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments. Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, their credit quality may deteriorate. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities. Debt Securities and Other Callable Securities Risk. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund invests in debt securities. The issuers of these securities and other callable securities may be able to repay principal in advance, especially when interest rates fall. Changes in prepayment rates can affect the return on investment and yield of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. The income generated by investments may not keep pace with inflation. Actions by governments and central banking authorities could result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging market countries, which can increase the risks of loss. From time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company's performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions. Sovereign Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by or guaranteed by sovereign governments, which may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. In times of economic uncertainty in the country at issue, the prices of these securities may be more volatile than those of corporate debt obligations or of other government debt obligations. These securities are also subject to Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Income Risk. The Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall because the Fund may hold a significant portion of short duration securities and/or securities that have floating or variable interest rates. The Fund’s income may decline because the Fund invests in lower yielding bonds, as bonds in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, or when the Fund needs to purchase additional bonds. Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments or redemptions occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV") per share. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages, credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by government-related organization that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities. Collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only and principal-only, are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. Credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes are general obligations issued by a government-related organization or special purpose vehicle, respectively, and are unguaranteed. Unlike mortgage-backed securities, investors in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by a government-related organization have no recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. In addition, some or all of the mortgage default risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to the noteholder. There can be no assurance that losses will not occur on an investment. These investments are also subject to the risks described under “Prepayment Risk.” U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics and may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge some or all of its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful, including due to delays in placing trades and other operational limitations, and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns. High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. The Fund will not have direct recourse against the borrower when the Fund invests in a loan participation. High yield securities and loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. Zero-Coupon Bond Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. LIBOR Discontinuance Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. After the global financial crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed based on a number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no longer be representative of the underlying markets and, as a result, publication of all LIBOR settings has ceased. New or alternative reference rates have since been used in place of LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR,” which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of U.S dollar overnight borrowings collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (“SONIA,” which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a result of the benchmark reforms, the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, and the Funds have generally transitioned to successor or alternative reference rates as necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most instruments has been completed, there is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity, or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions, and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party market participants, such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain service providers; no assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or its investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform. Restricted and Privately Placed Securities Risk. Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public resale unless registered under the applicable securities laws or that have a contractual restriction that prohibits or limits their resale. Restricted securities include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws, such as Rule 144A securities, and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued pursuant to Regulation S. Private placements are generally subject to strict restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. Restricted securities may be illiquid. The Fund may be unable to sell a restricted security on short notice or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. It may be more difficult to determine a market value for a restricted security. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material nonpublic information about the issuer, the Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities. Certain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. Repurchase Agreement Risk. Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund that the counterparty does not meet its obligation under the agreement. Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk. Floating and variable rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the prime rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value. Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”) and Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF’s or investment company’s investments. ETFs, investment companies and other investment vehicles that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their NAV (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly-traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. Structured Notes Risk. Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. The price of structured notes may be very volatile, and such notes may have a limited trading market, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. The payments on a structured note may vary based on changes in one or more specified reference instruments, such as a floating interest rate compared to a fixed interest rate, the exchange rates between two currencies, one or more securities or a securities index. A structured note may be positively or negatively indexed. For example, its principal amount and/or interest rate may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument increases, depending upon the terms of the instrument. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the structured note might pay less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Transactions Risk. TBA purchase commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or if the counterparty does not deliver the securities as promised. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to settlement date. TBA transactions involve counterparty risk. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the Fund to potential loss and could affect the Fund’s returns. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. European Market Risk. The Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in the various countries in which it invests in Europe and in Europe more generally, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. Asia Pacific Market Risk. The small size of securities markets and the low trading volume in some countries in the Asia Pacific Region may lead to a lack of liquidity. Also, some Asia Pacific economies and financial markets have been extremely volatile in recent years. Many of the countries in the region are developing, both politically and economically. They may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on only a few commodities or industries. The share prices of companies in the region tend to be volatile and there is a significant possibility of loss. Also, some companies in the region may have less established product markets or a small management group and they may be more vulnerable to political or economic conditions, like nationalization. In addition, some countries have restricted the flow of money in and out of the country. Certain of the currencies in the Asia Pacific region have experienced extreme volatility relative to the U.S. dollar. For example, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea have had currency crises and have sought help from the International Monetary Fund. Holding securities in currencies that are devalued (or in companies whose revenues are substantially in currencies that are devalued) will likely decrease the value of the Fund. The trading volume on some Asia Pacific region stock exchanges is much lower than in the United States, and Asia Pacific region securities of some companies are less liquid and more volatile than similar U.S. securities. In addition, brokerage commissions on regional stock exchanges are fixed and are generally higher than the negotiated commissions in the United States. The imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in the economy of a significant trading partner could adversely impact Asia Pacific companies. If the Fund concentrates in the Asia Pacific region, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that invests globally. If Asia Pacific securities fall out of favor, it may cause a fund that concentrates in the Asia Pacific region to underperform funds that do not concentrate in the Asia Pacific region. Greater China Region Risk. In addition to the risks listed under “Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk,” investments in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan are subject to significant legal, regulatory, monetary and economic risks, as well as the potential for regional and global conflicts, including actions that are contrary to the interests of the U.S. Investments in Mainland China involve political and legal uncertainties, currency fluctuations and aggressive currency controls, the risk of confiscatory taxation, and nationalization or expropriation of assets, which could adversely affect and significantly diminish the values of the Mainland Chinese companies in which the Fund invests. The Mainland Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by greater price volatility. Mainland China is dominated by the one-party rule of the Communist Party, and the Mainland Chinese government exercises significant control over Mainland China’s economic growth. There is the potential of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the United States and Mainland China. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions, or even the threat of such developments, could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on Mainland Chinese companies and a commensurately negative impact on the Fund. There is also the risk that the U.S. government or other governments may sanction Chinese issuers or otherwise prohibit U.S. persons (such as the Fund) from investing in certain Chinese issuers, which may negatively affect the liquidity and price of their securities. The political reunification of Mainland China and Taiwan, over which Mainland China continues to claim sovereignty, is a highly complex issue. There is the potential for future political, military or economic disturbances that may have an adverse impact on the values of the Fund’s investments in Mainland China and elsewhere, or make certain Fund investments impractical or impossible. Any escalation of hostility between Mainland China and Taiwan would likely have a significant adverse impact on the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments in both Mainland China and elsewhere, causing substantial investment losses for the Fund. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. Since Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, it has been governed by the Basic Law. Under the Basic Law, Hong Kong was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy in certain matters, including economic matters, until 2047. Attempts by the government of Mainland China to exert greater control over Hong Kong’s economic, political or legal structures or its existing social policy could negatively affect investor confidence in Hong Kong (as has been the case previously during certain periods), which in turn could negatively affect markets and business performance. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. Each Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to each Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portions of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Tracking Error Risk. In carrying out the investment program of the Fund, a Sub-Adviser will typically be instructed by the Adviser to replicate the performance of one or more indexes, although the Fund is not a passive index fund. Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of those indexes. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in those indexes, pricing differences (including differences between a security’s price at the local market close and the Fund’s valuation of a security at the time of calculation of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV")), differences in transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to those indexes or the costs to the Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while those indexes do not. Additionally, to comply with regulatory requirements, the Fund does not invest in securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. This could cause the Fund to experience tracking error when an index includes such securities. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of index components and the indexed investment strategies or underlying exposures in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Multi-Manager Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the skill of the Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Sub-Advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment decisions independently of one another), and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that a Sub-Adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that another Sub-Adviser sells the same security, resulting in higher transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result; or that several Sub-Advisers purchase the same security at the same time, without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher transaction costs. The Fund’s Sub-Advisers may underperform the market generally, underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund and/or underperform private investment funds with similar strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. Subject to the overall supervision of the Fund’s investment program by the Fund’s Adviser, each Sub-Adviser is responsible, with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages, for compliance with the Fund’s investment strategies and applicable law. Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk. Collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of loan obligations. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CLO in which the Fund invests. CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk. For example, a liquidity crisis in the credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and limited liquidity for such instruments. When the Fund invests in CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CLO’s expenses. Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities. The value of the Fund’s shares may also be more volatile than the value of a fund which invests in more securities. Convertible Securities and Contingent Convertible Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Convertible securities may be lower-rated securities subject to greater levels of credit risk. Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. Bank Loan Risk. The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the Fund may have difficulty selling them. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set-off rights, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation. Bank loan transactions may take more than seven days to settle, meaning that proceeds would be unavailable to make additional investments or meet redemptions. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund’s Past Performance This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through April 30, 2027 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 13 73 138 329 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 17.57% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.1757 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? The Fund is designed to provide after-tax total return by actively investing mainly in fixed income securities of varying maturities. The Fund’s portfolio consists of a variety of strategies providing exposure across mainly municipal bonds with varying maturity ranges and other characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in fixed income securities and other related instruments with similar economic characteristics. In addition, at least 50% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change to these investment policies. Municipal securities are securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and their respective authorities, political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities and other groups with the authority to act for the municipalities, the interest on which, if any, is exempt from federal income tax but may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals. Municipal securities may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates and may include, but are not limited to, variable rate demand obligations, short-term municipal notes, municipal bonds, tax exempt commercial paper, zero-coupon securities, private activity and industrial development bonds, tax anticipation notes, participations in pools of municipal securities, municipal mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, auction rate securities and restricted securities. Municipal securities may also include instruments evidencing direct ownership of interest payments or principal payments, or both, on municipal securities, such as tender option bonds and participation interests in all or part of specific holdings of municipal obligations, provided that the applicable issuer has disclosed or otherwise confirmed that the interest payable on the securities is exempt from federal income tax. Additionally, municipal securities include all other instruments that directly or indirectly provide economic exposure to income which is derived from municipalities. While the Fund intends to generate tax-exempt income through its municipal securities investments, it may generate taxable income and gains through investments in non-tax exempt securities and through sales of both tax-exempt and non-tax exempt securities. The Fund may also invest in taxable fixed income instruments. For purposes of the 80% investment policy, the Fund will treat an investment in derivatives as an investment in the securities underlying such derivatives and will value such derivatives at market value. The Fund may also invest in corporate and other taxable bonds, debt securities and similar instruments issued by various public- or private-sector entities in the United States and its territories and possessions, including U.S. Treasuries, as well as securities issued by investment companies, including open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds, and other pooled investment vehicles, which may include private funds. The Fund has broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of debt securities and instruments of any maturity and will not be managed to a target duration or average weighted maturity. Most of the Fund’s investments will be investment grade at the time of investment, although the Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as “high yield securities” or “junk bonds”). The Fund’s investment grade investments will at the time of investment: (i) carry a long-term rating of Baa3, BBB– or BBB– or higher by any of Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), or the equivalent by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”); (ii) carry a short-term rating of P-2, A-2 or F2 or higher by any of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, or the equivalent by another NRSRO; or (iii) if such investments are unrated, deemed by a Sub-Adviser (as defined below) to be of comparable quality at the time of investment. Below investment grade securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a high degree of risk. A security’s quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade. The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration and credit quality and/or as substitutes for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest. A derivative is an instrument that has a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use futures, swaps, forward contracts, and options, as well as repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, in connection with its principal strategies in certain market conditions in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes, as a substitute for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest or to increase income or gain to the Fund. While the Fund intends to generate tax-exempt income through its municipal securities investments, it will generate taxable income and gains through investments in non-tax exempt securities and through sales of both tax-exempt and non-tax exempt securities. Also, although interest on municipal securities is exempt from federal income tax, interest on certain bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), constructs the Fund’s portfolio by allocating the Fund’s assets among fixed income exposures and investment strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”). In allocating the assets of the Fund, the Adviser will generally make strategic and tactical allocation decisions by directing shifts in allocations among the various fixed income exposures and investment strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers that target risk and investment exposures primarily across U.S. municipal fixed income maturity ranges. The Adviser will periodically review and determine the allocations among the fixed income exposures and investment strategies and may make changes to these allocations when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund. The Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of fixed income exposures and investment strategies employed by the Fund, or add other fixed income exposures and investment strategies, including active strategies, managed by the Sub-Advisers. In making allocations among such fixed income exposures and investment strategies and/or in changing the categories of fixed income exposures and investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. Each Sub-Adviser may use both its own proprietary and external research and securities selection process to manage its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser is responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Adviser. The Adviser is not required to allocate a minimum amount of Fund assets to any specific Sub-Adviser and may allocate, or re-allocate, zero Fund assets to a specific Sub-Adviser at any time. The Adviser engages the following Sub-Advisers: Capital International, Inc. (“Capital”), Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen”), Allspring Global Investments, LLC (“Allspring”) and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”). The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Advisers at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers, the investment strategies they pursue and the portion of the Fund allocated to them, may change over time. For example, due to market conditions, the Adviser may choose not to allocate Fund assets to a Sub-Adviser or may reduce the portion of the Fund allocated to a Sub-Adviser to zero. Each Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for its respective portion of the Fund and for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct Sub-Advisers as needed on certain Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, including without limitation, for portfolio hedging, to temporarily adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. The Sub-Advisers may invest the Fund’s assets among a range of issuers based on strategic positioning and other tactical considerations that focus on factors expected to impact returns. The Sub-Advisers typically select individual securities after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of their characteristics including income, interest rate risk, credit risk and the complex legal and technical structure of the securities. The Fund expects that, when making allocation and investment decisions for the Fund, the Adviser and Sub-Advisers may take into account tax treatment as one of a number of factors relevant to the decision. In making such a decision, the Adviser and Sub-Advisers may determine that other factors are more important than tax treatment and thus cause the Fund to invest in investments that are not tax exempt. Below is a summary of each current Sub-Adviser’s investment approach. Capital With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, Capital will use an approach that seeks to achieve and/or enhance the performance of various segments of one or more public U.S. municipal bond indexes. These segments, which are selected by the Adviser to implement the Adviser’s on-going strategic and tactical investment decisions for the Fund, represent different maturity components of the U.S. municipal bond universe. Capital will reallocate among segments as instructed by the Adviser. Nuveen With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, Nuveen will normally invest substantially all of the net assets allocated to it in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal personal income tax and seek to generate returns by actively managing the portfolio. Allspring With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, Allspring will normally invest substantially all of the net assets allocated to it in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal personal income tax and seek to generate returns by actively managing the portfolio. BlackRock With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, BlackRock will invest primarily in U.S. Treasuries and government agency bonds while seeking to replicate overall risk characteristics of a specific index. BlackRock utilizes a stratified sampling approach that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to that of the underlying index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market value and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability, duration (i.e., a security’s price sensitivity to a change in interest rates), maturity or credit ratings and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of an applicable underlying index. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Municipal Obligations and Securities Risk. Because the Fund may invest in municipal obligations, including municipal securities, the Fund may be susceptible to political, legislative, economic, regulatory, tax or other factors affecting issuers of these municipal obligations, such as state and local governments and their agencies. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or hurt the ability to preserve capital and liquidity. Under some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose. Some securities, including municipal lease obligations, carry additional risks. For example, they may be difficult to trade or interest payments may be tied only to a specific stream of revenue. The amount of public information available about municipal obligations is generally less than for corporate equities or bonds, meaning that the investment performance of municipal obligations may be more dependent on the analytical abilities of the investment adviser than stock or corporate bond investments. The secondary market for municipal obligations also tends to be less well-developed and less liquid than many other securities markets, which may limit the Fund’s ability to sell its municipal obligations at attractive prices. The differences between the price at which an obligation can be purchased and the price at which it can be sold may widen during periods of market distress. Less liquid obligations can become more difficult to value and be subject to erratic price movements. In addition, changes in U.S. federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations. Loss of tax-exempt status may result in a significant decline in the values of such municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. In addition, since some municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to the Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of the Fund’s investments. While interest earned on municipal obligations is generally not subject to federal income tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal obligations is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to state and/or local income tax. In addition to being downgraded, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. The reorganization of a municipality’s debts may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of the Fund’s investments. Interest on municipal obligations, while generally exempt from federal income tax, may not be exempt from federal alternative minimum tax. Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may change interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments. Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, their credit quality may deteriorate. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities. Debt Securities and Other Callable Securities Risk. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund invests in debt securities. The issuers of these securities and other callable securities may be able to repay principal in advance, especially when interest rates fall. Changes in prepayment rates can affect the return on investment and yield of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. The income generated by investments may not keep pace with inflation. Actions by governments and central banking authorities could result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. Government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. Income Risk. The Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall because the Fund may hold a significant portion of short duration securities and/or securities that have floating or variable interest rates. The Fund’s income may decline because the Fund invests in lower yielding bonds, as bonds in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, or when the Fund needs to purchase additional bonds. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV") per share. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk. Floating and variable rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the prime rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value. Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. Structured Municipal Product Risk. Structured municipal products, such as tender option bonds, involve structural complexities and potential risks that may not be present where a municipal security is owned directly. These enhanced risks may include additional counterparty risk (the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations) and call risk (the risk that the instruments will be called and the proceeds may need to be reinvested). Additionally, an active trading market for such instruments may not exist. To the extent that a structured municipal product provides a put, the Fund may receive a lower interest rate in return for such feature and will be subject to the risk that the put provider will be unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Finally, short-term municipal or tax-exempt structured products may present tax issues not presented by investments in other short-term municipal or tax-exempt securities. These issues might be resolved in a manner adverse to the Fund. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics and may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. The Fund will not have direct recourse against the borrower when the Fund invests in a loan participation. High yield securities and loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments or redemptions occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Zero-Coupon Bond Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. Tax Aware Investing Risk. The Fund’s tax aware strategies may reduce your taxable income, but will not eliminate it. These strategies may require trade-offs that reduce pretax income. Managing the Fund to maximize after-tax returns may also potentially have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. Because tax consequences are considered in managing the Fund, the Fund’s pre-tax performance may be lower than that of a similar fund that is not tax-managed. Even though tax aware strategies are being used, they may not reduce the amount of taxable income and capital gains distributed by the Fund to shareholders, or the amount of Fund distributions that are taxable at ordinary income rates. LIBOR Discontinuance Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. After the global financial crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed based on a number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no longer be representative of the underlying markets and, as a result, publication of all LIBOR settings has ceased. New or alternative reference rates have since been used in place of LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR,” which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of U.S dollar overnight borrowings collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (“SONIA,” which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a result of the benchmark reforms, the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, and the Funds have generally transitioned to successor or alternative reference rates as necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most instruments has been completed, there is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity, or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions, and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party market participants, such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain service providers; no assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or its investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform. Auction Rate Securities Risk. The auction rate municipal securities the Fund will purchase will typically have a long-term nominal maturity for which the interest rate is regularly reset through a “Dutch” auction. The interest rate set by the auction is the lowest interest rate that covers all securities offered for sale. While this process is designed to permit auction rate securities to be traded at par value, there is a risk that an auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities, which may adversely affect the liquidity and price of auction rate securities. Moreover, between auctions, there may be no secondary market for these securities, and sales conducted on a secondary market may not be on terms favorable to the seller. Thus, with respect to liquidity and price stability, auction rate securities may differ substantially from cash equivalents, notwithstanding the frequency of auctions and the credit quality of the security. Repurchase Agreement Risk. Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund that the counterparty does not meet its obligation under the agreement. Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”) and Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF’s or investment company’s investments. ETFs, investment companies and other investment vehicles that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their NAV (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly-traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable or there may be unfavorable changes in tax laws or noncompliant conduct of a securities issuer that may cause income from all or certain municipal securities to be taxable. In such event, the value of such securities would likely fall, hurting the Fund’s performance. In addition, all or a portion of the Fund’s distributions that otherwise would have been exempt interest distributions would be treated as taxable distributions. Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. The Fund may invest in securities, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Municipal Securities Concentration Risk. The Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities where the issuer is regarded as a state, city, municipality or other public authority or in municipal securities with governmental guarantees or in housing authority obligations. As a result, the Fund could be more susceptible to developments which affect those obligations. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. Each Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to each Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portions of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Tracking Error Risk. In carrying out the investment program of the Fund, a Sub-Adviser will typically be instructed by the Adviser to replicate the performance of one or more indexes, although the Fund is not a passive index fund. Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of those indexes. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in those indexes, pricing differences (including differences between a security’s price at the local market close and the Fund’s valuation of a security at the time of calculation of the Fund’s NAV), differences in transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to those indexes or the costs to the Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while those indexes do not. Additionally, to comply with regulatory requirements, the Fund does not invest in securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. This could cause the Fund to experience tracking error when an index includes such securities. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of index components and the indexed investment strategies or underlying exposures in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Multi-Manager Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the skill of the Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Sub-Advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment decisions independently of one another), and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that a Sub-Adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that another Sub-Adviser sells the same security, resulting in higher transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result; or that several Sub-Advisers purchase the same security at the same time, without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher transaction costs. The Fund’s Sub-Advisers may underperform the market generally, underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund and/or underperform private investment funds with similar strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. Subject to the overall supervision of the Fund’s investment program by the Fund’s Adviser, each Sub-Adviser is responsible, with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages, for compliance with the Fund’s investment strategies and applicable law. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund’s Past Performance This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through April 30, 2027 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 26 198 386 928 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 69.13% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.6913 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? The Fund is designed to provide total return by investing mainly in global fixed income opportunities, including below investment-grade debt, as well as other tactical credit opportunities.As part of this investment strategy, the Fund may invest in the following instruments (though the Fund may not necessarily hold all of these instruments at any given time): high yield debt securities of U.S. and non-U.S. corporate issuers, fixed and floating rate debt securities issued in developed and emerging markets, bank loans, obligations of governments, government agencies or instrumentalities, including U.S. Treasury securities, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued or guaranteed by supranational organizations, securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments (sovereign debt), asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) (residential or commercial) (and which may include “to be announced” (“TBA”) transactions), other debt securities and preferred stock. Non-U.S. instruments, including emerging markets debt, may be U.S. dollar or local currency denominated. The instruments in which the Fund invests may pay fixed, variable, or floating interest rates and may consist of zero-coupon securities, convertible securities, including convertible bonds and preferred stock, inflation-indexed bonds, repurchase agreements, privately issued (Rule 144A and Regulation S) securities, structured notes, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), loan participations, loan assignments and other securities and instruments bearing fixed or variable interest rates. The Fund may also invest in obligations issued, guaranteed or originated by U.S. or foreign banks, including bank loans originated by banks to companies of different types. The Fund may invest in commercial paper, including asset-backed commercial paper. The Fund’s investment in non-U.S. dollar denominated bonds may be on a currency hedged or unhedged basis. The Fund also may invest up to 10% of its net assets in domestic and foreign common stock (provided that such limit will not prevent the Fund from receiving stock or other equity securities as a result of the bankruptcy, restructuring or reorganization of a company whose debt instruments are held by the Fund). The Fund can also invest, to the extent consistent with its investment objective, in non-U.S. and emerging market securities and currencies. The Fund also may invest in other investment companies, such as open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds, and other pooled investment vehicles, which may include private funds. The Fund will seek to purchase certain newly-issued Regulation S securities in its Asia High Yield sleeve through investments in Six Circles Credit Opportunities Fund (Cayman) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). Regulation S securities are securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). The Subsidiary is advised by JPMPI and sub-advised by Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”). The Fund has broad flexibility to invest in a wide variety of debt securities and instruments of any maturity and will not be managed to a target duration or average weighted maturity. The Fund currently expects to invest a substantial portion of its net assets in below investment-grade credit instruments, including “high-yield” instruments (also known as “junk bonds”) and “distressed” debt instruments. These instruments generally (i) will carry a credit rating at the time of investment of BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or of the equivalent quality by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) or, if such instruments are unrated, (ii) will be deemed by a Sub-Adviser (as defined below) to be of comparable quality at the time of investment. The Fund may invest in fixed income instruments with a credit rating as low as, or lower than, CCC/CCC/Caa, according to S&P, Fitch and Moody’s, respectively. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in instruments that are in default or issued by a company in bankruptcy. An instrument’s quality, and its default or bankruptcy status, is determined at the time of purchase, and instruments or their issuers may be downgraded, decline in credit quality or go into default or bankruptcy after purchase. The Fund has flexibility to invest in derivatives and may use such instruments to manage duration, credit quality, and currency risk and/or as substitutes for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest. A derivative is an instrument that has a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use futures, swaps, forward contracts, foreign exchange instruments (spot and forward), options (including options on swaps), and structured notes, as well as repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, in connection with its principal strategies in certain market conditions in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes, as a substitute for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest or to increase income or gain to the Fund. The Fund may also use currency-related transactions involving currency derivatives as part of its investment strategy, including options on currencies, currency futures, options on such futures, forward foreign currency transactions (including non-deliverable forwards), forward rate agreements and currency swaps, caps and floors. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in fixed income, debt or credit instruments and other related instruments with similar economic characteristics. For purposes of the 80% investment policy, the Fund will treat an investment in derivatives as an investment in the securities underlying such derivatives and will value such derivatives at market value. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any changes to its 80% investment policy. Due to the nature of the investments in which the Fund is seeking to invest, at times a significant portion of the issuers of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio may be in the financials sector.The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), constructs the Fund’s portfolio by allocating the Fund’s assets among fixed income sectors and strategies managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”). Additionally, the Sub-Advisers may in turn allocate to one or more additional sub-advisers (each, a “Sub-Sub-Adviser”) a portion of the assets allocated to them by the Adviser. Certain references herein to the Sub-Adviser may also include a Sub-Sub-Adviser, as the context requires. The Adviser allocates assets among Sub-Advisers managing high yield debt, short duration credit and emerging markets debt (including dollar and local currency debt) strategies, but expects over time, depending on market conditions, to expand the Fund’s investments to other opportunistic credit strategies, including preferred stock, convertibles, bank loans and securitized fixed income. In allocating the assets of the Fund, the Adviser will generally make strategic and tactical allocation decisions by directing shifts in allocations among the various investment strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. The Adviser will periodically review and determine the allocations among the investment strategies and may make changes to these allocations when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund. The Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund, or add other investment strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. In making allocations among such investment strategies and/or in changing the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. Each Sub-Adviser may use both its own proprietary and external research and securities selection process to manage its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser is responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Adviser. The Adviser is not required to allocate a minimum amount of Fund assets to any specific Sub-Adviser and may allocate, or re-allocate, zero Fund assets to a specific Sub-Adviser at any time. The Sub-Advisers are responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Sub-Adviser. The Adviser engages the following Sub-Advisers: BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”), PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”), Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), RBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited (“RBC GAM (UK)”), Muzinich & Co., Inc. (“Muzinich”), PIMCO, Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) and Insight North America LLC (“Insight”). BlackRock currently allocates assets to BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”) with respect to BlackRock’s High Yield Strategy, while PGIM currently allocates assets to PGIM Limited (“PGIML”) and RBC GAM (UK) currently allocates assets to RBC Global Asset Management (US) Inc. (“RBC GAM (US)”). The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Advisers at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers, the investment strategies they pursue and the portion of the Fund allocated to them may change over time. For example, due to market conditions, the Adviser may choose not to allocate Fund assets to a Sub-Adviser or may reduce the portion of the Fund allocated to a Sub-Adviser to zero. Each Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for its respective portion of the Fund and for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct Sub-Advisers as needed on certain Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, including, without limitation, for portfolio hedging, to temporarily adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. Below is a summary of each current Sub-Adviser’s investment approach. BlackRock — High Yield With respect to the portion of the Fund allocated to BlackRock’s High Yield Strategy, BlackRock (together with BIL) will invest primarily in high yield non-investment grade bonds with maturities of ten years or less. To add additional diversification, BlackRock (together with BIL) can invest in a wide range of securities including corporate bonds, mezzanine investments, collateralized bond obligations, bank loans and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. A substantial portion of the Fund allocated to BlackRock (together with BIL) may be invested in non-U.S. dollar denominated bonds of issuers located outside of the United States. Securities are purchased for the Fund when BlackRock (together with BIL) determines that they have the potential for above-average total return. BlackRock — Passive Treasury With respect to the portion of the Fund allocated to BlackRock’s Passive Treasury Strategy, BlackRock will invest primarily in U.S. Treasuries and government agency bonds while seeking to replicate overall risk characteristics of a specific index. BlackRock utilizes a stratified sampling approach that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to that of the underlying index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market value and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability, duration (i.e., a security’s price sensitivity to a change in interest rates), maturity or credit ratings and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of an applicable underlying index. PGIM — High Yield With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, PGIM (together with PGIML) primarily seeks investments that pay interest and other income and secondarily investments that will increase in value. In managing its portion of the Fund’s assets, PGIM (together with PGIML) uses a combination of top-down economic analysis and bottom-up research in conjunction with proprietary quantitative models and risk management systems. PGIM (together with PGIML) may also consider investment factors such as expected total return, yield, spread and potential for price appreciation as well as credit quality, maturity and risk. The Fund may invest in a security based upon the expected total return rather than the yield of such security. A substantial portion of the Fund allocated to PGIM (together with PGIML) may be invested in non-U.S. dollar denominated bonds of issuers located outside of the United States. Lord Abbett — Short Duration Credit With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, the Lord Abbett portfolio management team utilizes a multi-sector, credit focused approach, emphasizing the short maturity segments of investment grade corporate bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and high yield corporate bonds. The team combines top-down and bottom-up analysis to construct its strategic yield-based portfolio, using a blend of quantitative and fundamental research. As part of its top-down analysis, the Lord Abbett team evaluates global economic conditions, including monetary, fiscal, and regulatory policy, as well as the political and geopolitical environment, in order to identify and assess opportunities and risks. The Lord Abbett team employs bottom-up analysis to identify and select securities for investment based on in-depth company, industry, and market research and analysis. Lord Abbett may actively rotate sector exposure based on its assessment of relative value. Lord Abbett may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in its allocated portion of the Fund. RBC GAM (UK) — European High Yield Debt With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, RBC GAM (UK) (together with RBC GAM (US)) invests predominantly in European below investment-grade corporate debt with a focus on capital preservation. Credit selection is driven by rigorous proprietary bottom-up fundamental analysis with an emphasis on downside stress testing. Single name credit analysis is supplemented by economic, policy and political inputs, which combine to help determine the sectoral and geographic composition of the portfolio, as well as the correlation of the strategy to the overall market. RBC GAM (UK) (together with RBC GAM (US)) invests across secured and unsecured assets. Muzinich — Global Short Duration Crossover With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, Muzinich manages a global short duration crossover strategy blending investment-grade with high yield corporate bonds, seeking to enhance yield while mitigating risk. For this strategy, Muzinich invests predominantly in corporate bonds with a rating ranging from A to B- by S&P or Fitch and/or A1 to B3 by Moody’s, while typically maintaining an average portfolio duration of less than two years. The strategy aims to generate strong risk-adjusted returns and achieve capital preservation through prudent asset allocation between short duration investment-grade bonds, which have historically been more correlated to sovereign debt, and high yield bonds, which tend to be more correlated to equity markets. Muzinich — European High Yield With respect to the portion of the Fund allocated to Muzinich’s European High Yield investment strategy, Muzinich will invest in a portfolio of European high yield corporate investments focused on bonds, floating rate notes and other debt instruments issued by European companies or by non-European companies with primary business in Europe or issuing European currency debt instruments. The holdings in the Muzinich European High Yield sleeve will be predominately rated below BBB- by S&P or Fitch and/or below Baa3 by Moody’s (“high yield” or “junk”), but holdings may also from time to time include higher-rated paper anticipated to be trading with a high yield valuation. Muzinich may use derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management purposes in gaining exposure to credit or duration, but not for speculative or leveraging purposes. The Muzinich European High Yield investment strategy aims to generate strong risk-adjusted returns and achieve capital preservation through rigorous credit selection amongst instruments which Muzinich deems to be creditworthy and well-priced in the market relative to their peer group. PIMCO — Emerging Markets Debt With respect to the portion of the Fund allocated to PIMCO’s Emerging Markets Debt Strategy, PIMCO invests predominantly in fixed income instruments (including bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments) issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities that are economically tied to emerging market countries, which instruments may be represented by forwards or derivatives such as options, futures or swap agreements. Such instruments may be denominated in U.S. dollars and in non-U.S. currencies. PIMCO has broad discretion to identify countries that it considers to qualify as emerging markets. PIMCO emphasizes countries with relatively low gross national product per capita and with the potential for rapid economic growth. For this strategy, PIMCO will select the country and currency composition based on its evaluation of relative interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, trade and current account balances, legal and political developments and any other specific factors PIMCO believes to be relevant. PIMCO may invest in instruments whose return is based on the return of an emerging market security or a currency of an emerging market country, such as a derivative instrument, rather than investing directly in emerging market securities or countries. PIMCO — Asia High Yield With respect to the portion of the Fund allocated to PIMCO’s Asia High Yield Strategy, PIMCO invests in a combination of fixed income instruments of issuers that are economically tied to Asia ex-Japan countries and related derivatives on such securities. PIMCO seeks to purchase certain newly-issued Regulation S securities through investments in the Subsidiary. PIMCO will utilize a credit (i.e., fixed income) strategy that seeks to deploy PIMCO’s total return investment approach. This total return investment approach includes both top-down and bottom-up decision making inputs to help PIMCO to identify multiple sources of value. Top-down strategies focus on both short-term and longer-term global macroeconomic considerations and forces likely to influence the global economy and financial markets (such as interest rates and the rate of inflation) and provide context for regional and sector selection. Bottom-up strategies drive the security selection process by analyzing individual securities and are key to PIMCO’s ability to select what PIMCO considers to be undervalued securities in the fixed income market. Mellon — Passive U.S. Investment Grade Corporates With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, Mellon will seek to replicate the overall risk characteristics of specific benchmarks predominately investing in corporate securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P or Fitch and/or Baa3 by Moody’s, unless the benchmark’s methodology dictates otherwise. For each benchmark, Mellon will seek to replicate the overall risk characteristics of the benchmark while minimizing tracking error volatility and the performance drag from transaction costs by only investing in index-eligible securities. Mellon employs a stratified sampling approach by selecting subsets of the benchmark’s securities so that the aggregate risk metrics of duration, yield/spread, sector, and quality are tightly controlled relative to the benchmark. Specifically: ●with respect to rates, Mellon will seek to match the overall duration but also seek to neutralize points along the curve (key rates durations); ●with respect to spread, Mellon will seek to match the overall spread but also seek to match the spread within subsectors and the full quality spectrum of the benchmark; and ●with respect to the “idiosyncratic”, Mellon will seek diversification with respect to both the number of bonds and issuers to mitigate this risk. Insight — Global Aggregate Investment Grade Corporates & High Yield With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, Insight will systematically invest in global high yield and investment grade corporate credit fixed income. The investment process will begin with targeting the risk exposures of an underlying benchmark. A stratified sampling approach is then used to select bonds that match the major risk characteristics of the benchmark (e.g., duration, quality, sector, industry, yield, market beta, etc.). Insight will utilize proprietary alpha drivers in the sampling to screen out or avoid overweighting bonds which are deemed lower quality or expensive (or generally undesirable by our quantitative factors). Insight seeks to utilize diversified insights designed to provide a stable performance in most markets. Insight will utilize fundamental and market data to identify firms that may have trouble servicing their debt. As part of its investment process, Insight leverages the pioneering work by Robert Merton (Merton Model) to construct a proprietary value model. It uses equity market cap, equity implied volatility, and a firm’s balance sheet as three key inputs for this purpose. For companies who do not have underlying equity, Insight utilizes sophisticated regression-based techniques to determine value. Insight will utilize structural themes to seek to exploit additional market opportunities, including new issues, fallen angels, credit default swap indices (“CDX”)/cash bond tradeoff, and income harvesting. Overall, across all strategies, Insight will seek to closely match the risk exposure of the benchmark along all key risk dimensions. To efficiently and cost effectively handle cashflows, Insight sources inventory from the ETF ecosystem (where available). In the illiquid category including high yield credit, Insight utilizes its credit portfolio trading (or bond basket trading) approach. Insight carefully weighs the benefits of continuing to hold a bond with the cost to trade when evaluating these issues. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Loan Participations and Assignments Risk. The Fund may invest in fixed- and floating-rate loans, which investments generally will be in the form of loan participations and assignments of all or portions of such loans. Participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including extension risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. Loans are subject to the risk that scheduled interest or principal payments will not be made in a timely manner or at all, either of which may adversely affect the value of the loan. In addition, the collateral underlying a loan may be unavailable or insufficient to satisfy a borrower’s obligation, and a Fund could become part owner of any collateral if a loan is foreclosed, subjecting the Fund to costs associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. If a Fund purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, their credit quality may deteriorate. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities. High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. The Fund will not have direct recourse against the borrower when the Fund invests in a loan participation. High yield securities and loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may change interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments. Debt Securities and Other Callable Securities Risk. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund invests in debt securities. The issuers of these securities and other callable securities may be able to repay principal in advance, especially when interest rates fall. Changes in prepayment rates can affect the return on investment and yield of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Distressed Securities Risk. Any investments in distressed or defaulted securities subject the Fund to even greater credit risk than investments in other below investment-grade instruments. Investments in obligations of restructured, distressed and bankrupt issuers, including debt obligations that are already in default, generally trade significantly below par and may lack liquidity. Defaulted securities might be repaid only after lengthy bankruptcy proceedings, during which the issuer might not make any interest or other payments, and such proceedings may result in only partial recovery of principal or no recovery at all. Recovery could involve an exchange of the defaulted obligation for other debt instruments or equity securities of the issuer or its affiliates, each of which may in turn be illiquid or speculative and be valued by the Fund at significantly less than its original purchase price. In addition, investments in distressed issuers may subject the Fund to liability as a lender. Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. A change in the financial condition of a single issuer may affect securities markets as a whole. Bank Loan Risk. The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the Fund may have difficulty selling them. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set-off rights, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation. Bank loan transactions may take more than seven days to settle, meaning that proceeds would be unavailable to make additional investments or meet redemptions. Covenant Lite Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, floating rate loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years. Impairment of Collateral Risk. The value of collateral securing a debt instrument could decline, be insufficient to satisfy the obligation or be difficult to liquidate. The Fund’s access to the collateral could be limited by bankruptcy or by the type of loan it purchases. As a result, a collateralized debt instrument may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”)). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. The income generated by investments may not keep pace with inflation. Actions by governments and central banking authorities could result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. Government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging market countries, which can increase the risks of loss. From time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company's performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions. Sovereign Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by or guaranteed by sovereign governments, which may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. In times of economic uncertainty in the country at issue, the prices of these securities may be more volatile than those of corporate debt obligations or of other government debt obligations. These securities are also subject to Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Income Risk. The Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall because the Fund may hold a significant portion of short duration securities and/or securities that have floating or variable interest rates. The Fund’s income may decline because the Fund invests in lower yielding bonds, as bonds in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, or when the Fund needs to purchase additional bonds. Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments or redemptions occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV") per share. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages, credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by government-related organization that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities. Collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only and principal-only, are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. Credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes are general obligations issued by a government-related organization or special purpose vehicle, respectively, and are unguaranteed. Unlike mortgage-backed securities, investors in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by a government-related organization have no recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. In addition, some or all of the mortgage default risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to the noteholder. There can be no assurance that losses will not occur on an investment. These investments are also subject to the risks described under “Prepayment Risk.” U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics and may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge some or all of its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful, including due to delays in placing trades and other operational limitations, and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns. Zero-Coupon Bond Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. LIBOR Discontinuance Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. After the global financial crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed based on a number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no longer be representative of the underlying markets and, as a result, publication of all LIBOR settings has ceased. New or alternative reference rates have since been used in place of LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR,” which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of U.S dollar overnight borrowings collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (“SONIA,” which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a result of the benchmark reforms, the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, and the Funds have generally transitioned to successor or alternative reference rates as necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most instruments has been completed, there is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity, or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions, and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party market participants, such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain service providers; no assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or its investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform. Restricted and Privately Placed Securities Risk. Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public resale unless registered under the applicable securities laws or that have a contractual restriction that prohibits or limits their resale. Restricted securities include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws, such as Rule 144A securities, and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued pursuant to Regulation S. Private placements are generally subject to strict restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. Restricted securities may be illiquid. The Fund may be unable to sell a restricted security on short notice or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. It may be more difficult to determine a market value for a restricted security. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material nonpublic information about the issuer, the Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities. Certain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund or the Subsidiary will be achieved. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and is not subject to all the investor protections of the Investment Company Act. Regulation S Securities Risk. Regulation S securities may be less liquid than publicly traded securities and may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if they were publicly traded. Accordingly, Regulation S securities are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Repurchase Agreement Risk. Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund that the counterparty does not meet its obligation under the agreement. Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk. Floating and variable rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the prime rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value. Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”) and Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF’s or investment company’s investments. ETFs, investment companies and other investment vehicles that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their NAV (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly-traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. Structured Notes Risk. Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. The price of structured notes may be very volatile, and such notes may have a limited trading market, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. The payments on a structured note may vary based on changes in one or more specified reference instruments, such as a floating interest rate compared to a fixed interest rate, the exchange rates between two currencies, one or more securities or a securities index. A structured note may be positively or negatively indexed. For example, its principal amount and/or interest rate may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument increases, depending upon the terms of the instrument. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the structured note might pay less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Transactions Risk. TBA purchase commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or if the counterparty does not deliver the securities as promised. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to settlement date. TBA transactions involve counterparty risk. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the Fund to potential loss and could affect the Fund’s returns. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. Asia Pacific Market Risk. The small size of securities markets and the low trading volume in some countries in the Asia Pacific Region may lead to a lack of liquidity. Also, some Asia Pacific economies and financial markets have been extremely volatile in recent years. Many of the countries in the region are developing, both politically and economically. They may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on only a few commodities or industries. The share prices of companies in the region tend to be volatile and there is a significant possibility of loss. Also, some companies in the region may have less established product markets or a small management group and they may be more vulnerable to political or economic conditions, like nationalization. In addition, some countries have restricted the flow of money in and out of the country. Certain of the currencies in the Asia Pacific region have experienced extreme volatility relative to the U.S. dollar. For example, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea have had currency crises and have sought help from the International Monetary Fund. Holding securities in currencies that are devalued (or in companies whose revenues are substantially in currencies that are devalued) will likely decrease the value of the Fund. The trading volume on some Asia Pacific region stock exchanges is much lower than in the United States, and Asia Pacific region securities of some companies are less liquid and more volatile than similar U.S. securities. In addition, brokerage commissions on regional stock exchanges are fixed and are generally higher than the negotiated commissions in the United States. The imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in the economy of a significant trading partner could adversely impact Asia Pacific companies. If the Fund concentrates in the Asia Pacific region, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that invests globally. If Asia Pacific securities fall out of favor, it may cause a fund that concentrates in the Asia Pacific region to underperform funds that do not concentrate in the Asia Pacific region. Greater China Region Risk. In addition to the risks listed under “Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk,” investments in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan are subject to significant legal, regulatory, monetary and economic risks, as well as the potential for regional and global conflicts, including actions that are contrary to the interests of the U.S. Investments in Mainland China involve political and legal uncertainties, currency fluctuations and aggressive currency controls, the risk of confiscatory taxation, and nationalization or expropriation of assets, which could adversely affect and significantly diminish the values of the Mainland Chinese companies in which the Fund invests. The Mainland Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by greater price volatility. Mainland China is dominated by the one-party rule of the Communist Party, and the Mainland Chinese government exercises significant control over Mainland China’s economic growth. There is the potential of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the United States and Mainland China. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions, or even the threat of such developments, could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on Mainland Chinese companies and a commensurately negative impact on the Fund. There is also the risk that the U.S. government or other governments may sanction Chinese issuers or otherwise prohibit U.S. persons (such as the Fund) from investing in certain Chinese issuers, which may negatively affect the liquidity and price of their securities. The political reunification of Mainland China and Taiwan, over which Mainland China continues to claim sovereignty, is a highly complex issue. There is the potential for future political, military or economic disturbances that may have an adverse impact on the values of the Fund’s investments in Mainland China and elsewhere, or make certain Fund investments impractical or impossible. Any escalation of hostility between Mainland China and Taiwan would likely have a significant adverse impact on the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments in both Mainland China and elsewhere, causing substantial investment losses for the Fund. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. Since Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, it has been governed by the Basic Law. Under the Basic Law, Hong Kong was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy in certain matters, including economic matters, until 2047. Attempts by the government of Mainland China to exert greater control over Hong Kong’s economic, political or legal structures or its existing social policy could negatively affect investor confidence in Hong Kong (as has been the case previously during certain periods), which in turn could negatively affect markets and business performance. European Market Risk. The Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in the various countries in which it invests in Europe and in Europe more generally, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. Each Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to each Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portions of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of index components and the indexed investment strategies or underlying exposures in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Tracking Error Risk. In carrying out the investment program of the Fund, certain Sub-Advisers will typically be instructed by the Adviser to replicate the performance of one or more indexes, although the Fund is not a passive index fund. Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of those indexes. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in those indexes, pricing differences (including differences between a security’s price at the local market close and the Fund’s valuation of a security at the time of calculation of the Fund’s NAV), differences in transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to those indexes or the costs to the Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while those indexes do not. Additionally, to comply with regulatory requirements, the Fund does not invest in securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. This could cause the Fund to experience tracking error when an index includes such securities. Multi-Manager Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the skill of the Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Sub-Advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment decisions independently of one another), and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that a Sub-Adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that another Sub-Adviser sells the same security, resulting in higher transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result; or that several Sub-Advisers purchase the same security at the same time, without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher transaction costs. The Fund’s Sub-Advisers may underperform the market generally, underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund and/or underperform private investment funds with similar strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. Subject to the overall supervision of the Fund’s investment program by the Fund’s Adviser, each Sub-Adviser is responsible, with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages, for compliance with the Fund’s investment strategies and applicable law. Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk. Collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of loan obligations. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CLO in which the Fund invests. CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk. For example, a liquidity crisis in the credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and limited liquidity for such instruments. When the Fund invests in CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CLO’s expenses. Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) may be more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. If a company becomes insolvent, its equity securities are repaid only after all other debts of the company have been repaid. This can result in a potential severe reduction in, or total loss of, their value. Investing in equity securities may also expose the Fund to inflation and currency risk. Further, the investor will be exposed to the specific risks of the industry in which the company operates. For example, a computer chip manufacturer might have exposure to the availability and price of certain metals. Equity securities may or may not be registered, publicly listed or traded on an exchange, and these securities are more likely to be illiquid and therefore subject to a higher degree of liquidity risk than registered or listed securities. Convertible Securities and Contingent Convertible Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Convertible securities may be lower-rated securities subject to greater levels of credit risk. Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities represent an equity interest in a company that generally entitles the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other securities such as common stocks, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred and other senior securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred and other senior securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred and other senior securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund’s Past Performance This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0025 0 0.0002 0.0027 -0.0021 0.0006 April 30, 2027April 30, 2027April 30, 2027 Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 4/30/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 6 66 131 322 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 24.86% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.2486 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in equity securities issued by U.S. companies and other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities issued by U.S. companies. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock and securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common or preferred stock. The Fund is generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or industry sector. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that own and/or manage properties. From time to time, the Fund may also use derivatives, including futures, forward contracts and swaps (including but not limited to total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference), to manage short-term liquidity and/or as substitutes for comparable market positions in the securities in the applicable Indexes (as defined below). For purposes of this 80% investment policy, the Fund will treat an investment in derivatives as an investment in the securities underlying such derivatives and will value such derivatives at market value. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change to its 80% investment policy. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. A non-diversified fund is permitted (but is not required) to invest a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), primarily seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by actively allocating and reallocating the Fund’s assets among equity securities (or other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities) in various U.S. industrial or economic sectors or sub-sectors (such as, by way of example only, companies in the automotive or health care sector) that the Adviser believes provide attractive investment opportunities at that time. In doing so, the Adviser is not limited to any specific sectors and may choose to allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among any sectors or sub-sectors the Adviser chooses at the time. In order to implement its allocation decisions, the Adviser selects various publicly available equity indexes (such as an index of the largest U.S. companies), or specific portions (sub-indexes) of such an index (such as the automotive sector within the larger index) (together, the “Indexes”), that represent the sectors to which the Adviser desires to allocate the Fund’s assets. Generally, an Index will represent a certain industry, geographic region or other sector component of a publicly available U.S. equity index. Once the Adviser has selected the desired Indexes, it determines how much of the Fund’s assets to allocate or reallocate to each Index and instructs the Fund’s current sub-adviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” or “BlackRock”), to invest the allocated assets in a manner that seeks to replicate the investment performance of the respective Indexes. We refer to an allocation of the Fund’s assets to a specific Index as an “indexed investment strategy.” As discussed in more detail below, BlackRock then seeks to manage each indexed investment strategy in a manner that will replicate the investment performance of the respective Index. The Adviser, depending on its investment views, may regularly allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among different or new indexed investment strategies and may cease allocating to existing indexed investment strategies. The Fund’s assets may be allocated to multiple indexed investment strategies at any time. In addition to allocating and reallocating the Fund’s assets among one or more indexed investment strategies, the Adviser may also select securities of specific individual companies for the Fund to purchase or sell on an ongoing basis and the amount of the Fund’s assets to allocate to such securities. We refer collectively to the securities selected by the Adviser in this manner as the “Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve.” When the Adviser makes individual security selections in this manner for the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, the securities will be publicly traded large capitalization U.S. equity securities and the securities may represent a variety of U.S. sectors, sub-sectors or industries. These individual securities in the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve will be selected by the Adviser based on its investment analysis in order to assist with portfolio construction, risk management, liquidity considerations or a combination thereof. For example, the Adviser may determine to invest in a specific security within a broader Index, if it believes doing so would be preferable from an investment perspective to investing in all of the companies within that Index. In order to implement these individual security selections within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, the Adviser then directs the Sub-Adviser to invest a specified allocation of the Fund’s assets so as to replicate the investment performance of the identified securities within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve. Currently, under normal market conditions, the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve is not expected to constitute more than 45% of the Fund’s total assets. The Adviser is not obligated to select individual securities or to maintain a Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve and may allocate the Fund’s assets solely among indexed investment strategies. In allocating the assets of the Fund among indexed investment strategies, or selecting individual securities within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, the Adviser generally makes investment decisions based on a combination of financial analysis of individual companies, industries, sectors and geographies, such as financial modeling and individual company research. The Adviser also incorporates into its investment process macro-economic considerations, factors and trends, as well as analysis of risk, liquidity, potential for tracking error and other portfolio construction factors. The Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of indexed investment strategies employed by the Fund at any time or the securities within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, or add other investment strategies, including active strategies, managed by one or more sub-advisers at any time. As described in the box below, in making allocations among the indexed investment strategies and the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, and/or in changing the categories of indexed investment strategies and other investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser also expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. BlackRock BlackRock, the Sub-Adviser, manages each individual indexed investment strategy (and the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve) to which the Adviser has allocated Fund assets with the goal of replicating the performance of the respective Index (and the individual securities within the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve). BlackRock also facilitates the transition among indexed investment strategies as directed by the Adviser. BlackRock seeks to manage each of the indexed investment strategies by replicating the Index fully when applicable or investing in a quantitatively selected portfolio of securities with characteristics expected to match the performance of the applicable Index, including through the use of derivatives such as futures, forwards and swaps (including but not limited to total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference). The securities selected for each indexed investment strategy are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the applicable Index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in an applicable Index and BlackRock is free to use its discretion as to how best to replicate the performance of each applicable Index. General Information The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Adviser and any additional sub-adviser of the Fund at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Adviser or Sub-Advisers, or the portion of the Fund allocated to it or them, may change over time. Generally, except in the case of the Custom U.S. Equity Sleeve, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for the Fund. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser is generally responsible for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct the Sub-Adviser as needed on Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, either by instructing the Sub-Adviser or otherwise, including without limitation, when it has high conviction views, for portfolio hedging, to adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) may be more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. If a company becomes insolvent, its equity securities are repaid only after all other debts of the company have been repaid. This can result in a potential severe reduction in, or total loss of, their value. Investing in equity securities may also expose the Fund to inflation and currency risk. Further, the investor will be exposed to the specific risks of the industry in which the company operates. For example, a computer chip manufacturer might have exposure to the availability and price of certain metals. Equity securities may or may not be registered, publicly listed or traded on an exchange, and these securities are more likely to be illiquid and therefore subject to a higher degree of liquidity risk than registered or listed securities. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities. The value of the Fund’s shares may also be more volatile than the value of a fund which invests in more securities. Large Cap Company Risk. To the extent the Fund invests principally in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when the Fund’s securities are out of favor. Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Smaller Company Risk. Because the Fund may invest in equity investments of companies across all market capitalizations, the Fund’s risks increase as it invests more heavily in smaller companies (mid capitalization and small capitalization companies). Investments in smaller companies may be riskier than investments in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies tend to be less liquid than securities of larger companies. In addition, small companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, the changes in value of their securities may be more sudden or erratic than in large capitalization companies, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of the Fund’s investments. Real Estate Investment Trusts Risk. The Fund’s investments in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. Debt securities of REITs are also subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity securities of REITs. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. For example, the Fund may, at the direction of the Adviser, frequently reallocate its assets among different indexed investment strategies, which could cause the Sub-Adviser frequently to replace a significant portion of the securities and other instruments in the Fund’s portfolio through sales and purchases so as to reflect the changing allocations, including selling and repurchasing the same securities in quick succession. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Information Technology Sector Risk. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies could have an impact on the value of the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of technology companies is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, competition for the services of qualified personnel, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs, all of which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Stocks of technology companies, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market. Technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect their profitability. Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. The Fund will be sensitive to, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, the overall condition of the consumer discretionary sector. Companies engaged in the consumer discretionary sector may be affected by changes in domestic and international economies, exchange rates, interest rates, competition, consumers’ disposable income and consumer preferences, social trends and marketing campaigns. Communication Services Sector Risk. Communication services companies may be greatly affected by technological advancements, market competition, supply chain issues, and labor shortages. Companies in the communication services sector may also be affected by research and development costs, substantial capital requirements, pricing competition and government regulations. Certain communication services companies may also be susceptible to network security breaches, including hacking, ransomware attacks, denial of service attacks, and potential theft, loss, or unauthorized disclosure of proprietary or consumer information, which may result in disruptions in service, reputational damage, regulatory penalties, or financial losses. Additionally, the communication services sector is impacted by fluctuating market demands both domestically and internationally, as well as shifting demographics and unpredictable changes in consumer preferences. Companies in the communication services sector also face intense competition in new product development, deployment, and delivery. Tracking Error Risk. In carrying out the investment program of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser will typically be instructed by the Adviser to replicate the performance of one or more indexes, although the Fund is not a passive index fund. Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of those indexes. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in those indexes, pricing differences (including differences between a security’s price at the local market close and the Fund’s valuation of a security at the time of calculation of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV")), differences in transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to those indexes or the costs to the Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while those indexes do not. Additionally, to comply with regulatory requirements, the Fund does not invest in securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. This could cause the Fund to experience tracking error when an index includes such securities. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of index components and the indexed investment strategies in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities represent an equity interest in a company that generally entitles the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other securities such as common stocks, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred and other senior securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred and other senior securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred and other senior securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. The Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portion of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund’s Past Performance This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Ticker: CMIUX What is the goal of the Fund? The Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation. Fees and Expenses of the Fund The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0025 0 0.0005 0.0030 -0.0020 0.0010 April 30, 2027April 30, 2027April 30, 2027 Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 4/30/27 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 10 76 148 361 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 40.24% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.4024 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in equity securities and other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock and securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common or preferred stock. The Fund primarily invests in the equity securities of non-U.S. companies and is generally unconstrained by any particular capitalization, style or sector or non-U.S. country. Non-U.S. companies can be companies where: (i) the relevant security is issued outside the United States; (ii) the principal trading market for the relevant security is outside the United States; (iii) the company is organized under the laws of a non-U.S. country; (iv) the company derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from a non-U.S. country or has at least 50% of its total assets situated in a non-U.S. country; or (v) the company is a foreign government (or any political subdivision, agency, authority or instrumentality of such government). In addition to equity securities issued by companies in developed countries, which will be the Fund’s focus, the Fund may also invest in companies in emerging markets or developing countries, U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign entities, and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) or Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), including unsponsored ADRs or GDRs. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that own and/or manage properties. From time to time, the Fund may also use derivatives, including futures, forward contracts and swaps (including but not limited to total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference), to manage short-term liquidity and/or as substitutes for comparable market positions in the securities in the applicable Indexes (as defined below). For purposes of this 80% investment policy, the Fund will treat an investment in derivatives as an investment in the securities underlying such derivatives and will value such derivatives at market value. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change to its 80% investment policy. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. A non-diversified fund is permitted (but is not required) to invest a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), primarily seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by actively allocating and reallocating the Fund’s assets among equity securities (or other instruments with economic characteristics similar to equity securities) in various non-U.S. sectors or subsectors, or geographical regions (such as, by way of example only, companies in the European financial sector) that the Adviser believes provide attractive investment opportunities at that time. In doing so, the Adviser is not limited to any specific sectors and may choose to allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among any sectors or sub-sectors the Adviser chooses at the time. In order to implement its allocation decisions, the Adviser selects various publicly available equity indexes (such as an index of the European companies), or specific portions (sub-indexes) of such an index (such as the financial sector within the larger index) (together, the “Indexes”), that represent the sectors to which the Adviser desires to allocate the Fund’s assets. Generally, an Index will represent a certain industry, geographic region or other sector component of a publicly available non-U.S. equity index. Once the Adviser has selected the desired Indexes, it determines how much of the Fund’s assets to allocate or reallocate to each Index and instructs the Fund’s current sub-adviser, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser” or “BlackRock”), to invest the allocated assets in a manner that seeks to replicate the investment performance of the respective Indexes. We refer to an allocation of the Fund’s assets to a specific Index as an “indexed investment strategy.” As discussed in more detail below, BlackRock then seeks to manage each indexed investment strategy in a manner that will replicate the investment performance of the respective Index. The Adviser, depending on its investment views, may regularly allocate and reallocate the Fund’s assets among different or new indexed investment strategies and may cease allocating to existing indexed investment strategies. The Fund’s assets may be allocated to multiple indexed investment strategies at any time. In addition to allocating and reallocating the Fund’s assets among one or more indexed investment strategies, the Adviser may also select securities of specific individual companies for the Fund to purchase or sell on an ongoing basis and the amount of the Fund’s assets to allocate to such securities. We refer collectively to the securities selected by the Adviser in this manner as the “Custom International Equity Sleeve.” When the Adviser makes individual security selections in this manner for the Custom International Equity Sleeve, the securities will be publicly traded non-U.S. equity securities and the securities may represent a variety of non-U.S. sectors, sub-sectors, industries or geographical regions. These individual securities in the Custom International Equity Sleeve will be selected by the Adviser based on its investment analysis in order to assist with portfolio construction, risk management, liquidity considerations or a combination thereof. For example, the Adviser may determine to invest in a specific security within a broader Index, if it believes doing so would be preferable from an investment perspective to investing in all of the companies within that Index. In order to implement these individual security selections within the Custom International Equity Sleeve, the Adviser then directs the Sub-Adviser to invest a specified allocation of the Fund’s assets so as to replicate the investment performance of the identified securities within the Custom International Equity Sleeve. Currently, under normal market conditions, the Custom International Equity Sleeve is not expected to constitute more than 45% of the Fund’s total assets. The Adviser is not obligated to select individual securities or to maintain a Custom International Equity Sleeve and may allocate the Fund’s assets solely among indexed investment strategies. In allocating the assets of the Fund among indexed investment strategies, or selecting individual securities within the Custom International Equity Sleeve, the Adviser generally makes investment decisions based on a combination of financial analysis of individual companies, industries, sectors and geographies, such as financial modeling and individual company research. The Adviser also incorporates into its investment process macro-economic considerations, factors and trends, as well as analysis of risk, liquidity, potential for tracking error and other portfolio construction factors. The Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of indexed investment strategies employed by the Fund at any time or the securities within the Custom International Equity Sleeve, or add other investment strategies, including active strategies, managed by one or more sub-advisers at any time. As described in the box below, in making allocations among the indexed investment strategies and the Custom International Equity Sleeve, and/or in changing the categories of indexed investment strategies and other investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser also expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. BlackRock BlackRock, the Sub-Adviser, manages each individual indexed investment strategy (and the Custom International Equity Sleeve) to which the Adviser has allocated Fund assets with the goal of replicating the performance of the respective Index (and the individual securities within the Custom International Equity Sleeve). BlackRock also facilitates the transition among indexed investment strategies as directed by the Adviser. BlackRock seeks to manage each of the indexed investment strategies by replicating the Index fully when applicable or investing in a quantitatively selected portfolio of securities with characteristics expected to match the performance of the applicable Index, including through the use of derivatives such as futures, forwards and swaps (including but not limited to total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference). The securities selected for each indexed investment strategy are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the applicable Index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in an applicable Index and BlackRock is free to use its discretion as to how best to replicate the performance of each applicable Index. General Information The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Adviser and any additional sub-adviser of the Fund at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Adviser or Sub-Advisers, or the portion of the Fund allocated to it or them, may change over time. Generally, except in the case of the Custom International Equity Sleeve, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for the Fund. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser is generally responsible for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct the Sub-Adviser as needed on Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, either by instructing the Sub-Adviser or otherwise, including without limitation, when it has high conviction views, for portfolio hedging, to adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) may be more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. If a company becomes insolvent, its equity securities are repaid only after all other debts of the company have been repaid. This can result in a potential severe reduction in, or total loss of, their value. Investing in equity securities may also expose the Fund to inflation and currency risk. Further, the investor will be exposed to the specific risks of the industry in which the company operates. For example, a computer chip manufacturer might have exposure to the availability and price of certain metals. Equity securities may or may not be registered, publicly listed or traded on an exchange, and these securities are more likely to be illiquid and therefore subject to a higher degree of liquidity risk than registered or listed securities. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging market countries, which can increase the risks of loss. From time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company's performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. For example, the Fund may, at the direction of the Adviser, frequently reallocate its assets among different indexed investment strategies, which could cause the Sub-Adviser frequently to replace a significant portion of the securities and other instruments in the Fund’s portfolio through sales and purchases so as to reflect the changing allocations, including selling and repurchasing the same securities in quick succession. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. European Market Risk. The Fund’s performance will be affected by political, social and economic conditions in the various countries in which it invests in Europe and in Europe more generally, such as growth of the economic output (the gross national product), the rate of inflation, the rate at which capital is reinvested into European economies, the success of governmental actions to reduce budget deficits, the resource self-sufficiency of European countries and interest and monetary exchange rates between European countries. European financial markets may experience volatility due to concerns about high government debt levels, credit rating downgrades, rising unemployment, the future of the euro as a common currency, possible restructuring of government debt and other government measures responding to those concerns and fiscal and monetary controls imposed on member countries of the European Union. Asia Pacific Market Risk. The small size of securities markets and the low trading volume in some countries in the Asia Pacific Region may lead to a lack of liquidity. Also, some Asia Pacific economies and financial markets have been extremely volatile in recent years. Many of the countries in the region are developing, both politically and economically. They may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on only a few commodities or industries. The share prices of companies in the region tend to be volatile and there is a significant possibility of loss. Also, some companies in the region may have less established product markets or a small management group and they may be more vulnerable to political or economic conditions, like nationalization. In addition, some countries have restricted the flow of money in and out of the country. Certain of the currencies in the Asia Pacific region have experienced extreme volatility relative to the U.S. dollar. For example, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and South Korea have had currency crises and have sought help from the International Monetary Fund. Holding securities in currencies that are devalued (or in companies whose revenues are substantially in currencies that are devalued) will likely decrease the value of the Fund. The trading volume on some Asia Pacific region stock exchanges is much lower than in the United States, and Asia Pacific region securities of some companies are less liquid and more volatile than similar U.S. securities. In addition, brokerage commissions on regional stock exchanges are fixed and are generally higher than the negotiated commissions in the United States. The imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in the economy of a significant trading partner could adversely impact Asia Pacific companies. If the Fund concentrates in the Asia Pacific region, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that invests globally. If Asia Pacific securities fall out of favor, it may cause a fund that concentrates in the Asia Pacific region to underperform funds that do not concentrate in the Asia Pacific region. Greater China Region Risk. In addition to the risks listed under “Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk,” investments in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan are subject to significant legal, regulatory, monetary and economic risks, as well as the potential for regional and global conflicts, including actions that are contrary to the interests of the U.S. Investments in Mainland China involve political and legal uncertainties, currency fluctuations and aggressive currency controls, the risk of confiscatory taxation, and nationalization or expropriation of assets, which could adversely affect and significantly diminish the values of the Mainland Chinese companies in which the Fund invests. The Mainland Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by greater price volatility. Mainland China is dominated by the one-party rule of the Communist Party, and the Mainland Chinese government exercises significant control over Mainland China’s economic growth. China’s economy is highly reliant on trade and may be adversely affected by a deterioration in global demand, supply chain issues, or labor shortages. There is also the potential of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the United States and Mainland China. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions, or even the threat of such developments, could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on Mainland Chinese companies and a commensurately negative impact on the Fund. There is also the risk that the U.S. government or other governments may sanction Chinese issuers or otherwise prohibit U.S. persons (such as the Fund) from investing in certain Chinese issuers, which may negatively affect the liquidity and price of their securities. The political reunification of Mainland China and Taiwan, over which Mainland China continues to claim sovereignty, is a highly complex issue. There is the potential for future political, military or economic disturbances that may have an adverse impact on the values of the Fund’s investments in Mainland China and elsewhere, or make certain Fund investments impractical or impossible. Any escalation of hostility between Mainland China and Taiwan would likely have a significant adverse impact on the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments in both Mainland China and elsewhere, causing substantial investment losses for the Fund. Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. Since Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, it has been governed by the Basic Law. Under the Basic Law, Hong Kong was guaranteed a high degree of autonomy in certain matters, including economic matters, until 2047. Attempts by the government of Mainland China to exert greater control over Hong Kong’s economic, political or legal structures or its existing social policy could negatively affect investor confidence in Hong Kong (as has been the case previously during certain periods), which in turn could negatively affect markets and business performance. Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on structures to raise capital from non-Chinese investors, even though such arrangements are not formally recognized under Chinese law. In a VIE structure, a Mainland China-based operating company establishes an entity (typically offshore) that enters into service and other contracts (such as powers of attorney, equity pledge agreements and other services or business cooperation agreements) with the Mainland Chinese company designed to provide economic exposure to the company. The offshore entity then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese investors (such as the Fund). Shares of the offshore entity are not equity ownership interests in the Mainland Chinese operating company and therefore the ability of the offshore entity to control the activities at the Mainland Chinese company are limited and the Mainland Chinese company may engage in activities that negatively impact investment value. Under a VIE structure, the Fund will typically have little or no ability to influence the Mainland China-based operating company through proxy voting or other means because it is not a Mainland Chinese company owner/shareholder. The VIE structure is designed to provide the offshore entity (and in turn, investors in the entity) with economic exposure to the Mainland Chinese company that replicates equity ownership, without actual equity ownership of the Mainland Chinese operating company. The VIE contractual arrangements permit the VIE structure to consolidate its financial statements with those of the underlying Chinese company. VIE structures are used due to Mainland Chinese government prohibitions on foreign ownership of companies in certain industries and it is not clear that the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. Intervention by the Mainland Chinese government with respect to VIE structures could adversely affect the Mainland Chinese operating company’s performance, the enforceability of the offshore entity’s contractual arrangements with the Mainland Chinese company and the value of the offshore entity’s shares. If this were to occur, the market value of the Fund’s associated portfolio holdings would likely fall, causing substantial investment losses for the Fund. Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge some or all of its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful, including due to delays in placing trades and other operational limitations, and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns. Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities. The value of the Fund’s shares may also be more volatile than the value of a fund which invests in more securities. Large Cap Company Risk. To the extent the Fund invests principally in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when the Fund’s securities are out of favor. Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. As a result, changes in the price of securities issued by such companies may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Smaller Company Risk. Because the Fund may invest in equity investments of companies across all market capitalizations, the Fund’s risks increase as it invests more heavily in smaller companies (mid capitalization and small capitalization companies). Investments in smaller companies may be riskier than investments in larger companies. Securities of smaller companies tend to be less liquid than securities of larger companies. In addition, small companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, the changes in value of their securities may be more sudden or erratic than in large capitalization companies, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies. This may cause unexpected and frequent decreases in the value of the Fund’s investments. Depositary Receipts (ADRs and GDRs) Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of foreign issuers in the form of depositary receipts or other securities convertible into securities of foreign issuers. The Fund may invest in both sponsored and unsponsored ADRs, GDRs and other similar global instruments. In addition to investment risks associated with the underlying issuer, depositary receipts expose the Fund to additional risks associated with the non-uniform terms that apply to depositary receipt programs, credit exposure to the depository bank and to the sponsors and other parties with whom the depository bank establishes the programs, currency risk and liquidity risk. Unsponsored ADR and GDR programs are organized independently and without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying securities. Unsponsored programs generally expose investors to greater risks than sponsored programs and do not provide holders with many of the shareholder benefits that come from investing in a sponsored depositary receipt. Available information concerning the issuer may not be as current as for sponsored ADRs and GDRs, and the prices of unsponsored ADRs and GDRs may be more volatile than if such instruments were sponsored by the issuer. Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. Real Estate Investment Trusts Risk. The Fund’s investments in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. Debt securities of REITs are also subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity securities of REITs. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability and general economic conditions, among other factors. Financials Sector Risk. Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financials sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate. Tracking Error Risk. In carrying out the investment program of the Fund, the Sub-Adviser will typically be instructed by the Adviser to replicate the performance of one or more indexes, although the Fund is not a passive index fund. Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of those indexes. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in those indexes, pricing differences (including differences between a security’s price at the local market close and the Fund’s valuation of a security at the time of calculation of the Fund’s net asset value ("NAV")), differences in transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to those indexes or the costs to the Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while those indexes do not. Funds that track indexes with significant weight in emerging markets issuers may experience higher tracking error than other funds that do not track such indexes. Additionally, to comply with regulatory requirements, the Fund does not invest in securities issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. This could cause the Fund to experience tracking error when an index includes such securities. Liquidity Risk. Low trading volume, a lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions may limit the Fund’s ability to value securities, or prevent the Fund from selling securities or closing derivative positions at desirable times or prices. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of index components and the indexed investment strategies in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities represent an equity interest in a company that generally entitles the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other securities such as common stocks, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred and other senior securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred and other senior securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred and other senior securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. The Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portion of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund. The Fund’s Past Performance This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0125 0 0.0043 0.0002 0.0170 -0.0076 0.0094 April 30, 2027April 30, 2027April 30, 2027 The "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets given in the Fund’s most recent annual report, which do not include "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses." Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through April 30, 2027 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COSTS WOULD BE 96 461 852 1945 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 652.39% of the average value of its portfolio. 6.5239 What are the Fund’s main investment strategies? The Fund is designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation by allocating its assets across multiple sub-advised strategies that are intended to allow the Fund to maintain an investment portfolio with, on average, lower volatility over a market cycle than the broader equity markets. J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (“JPMPI” or the “Adviser”), will allocate Fund assets across a variety of strategies, including, but not limited to, equity long/short, event driven, global macro, relative value, and multi-strategy, managed by one or more sub-advisers retained by the Adviser (each, a “Sub-Adviser”). Additionally, the Sub-Advisers may in turn allocate to one or more additional sub-advisers (each, a "Sub-Sub-Adviser") a portion of the assets allocated to them by the Adviser. Certain references herein to the Sub-Adviser may also include a Sub-Sub-Adviser, as the context requires. The Adviser dynamically allocates the Fund’s assets among Sub-Advisers generally employing alternative investment strategies and may also manage a portion of the Fund’s assets directly. The main strategies of the Fund include: ●Equity Long/Short: which employs both long and short positions in primarily equity securities and equity-related derivatives; ●Event Driven: which focuses on event-linked, acquisition-related, and other types of instruments, including equities, debt securities, and derivatives that are currently or may be prospectively affected by transactions or events, including mergers, restructurings, financial distress, tender offers, shareholder buybacks, debt exchanges, security issuance, other capital structure adjustments, and shareholder activism;●Global Macro: which seeks to profit from movements in, or risks related to, underlying macroeconomic variables and/or risk premia factors, and the impact those variables and factors have on equity, fixed income, currency, and/or commodity markets; ●Relative Value: which focuses on potential valuation discrepancies in related financial instruments; and ●Multi-Strategy: which employs a wide variety of strategies, including some or all of those described above, with allocations among such strategies based upon analysis of fundamental, statistical, technical, or other factors. In allocating the assets of the Fund, the Adviser will generally review quantitative and qualitative factors, including, without limitation, macroeconomic scenarios, market sentiment, diversification, strategy capacity, regulatory constraints, and the fees associated with the strategy. The Adviser will make strategic and tactical allocation decisions by directing shifts in allocations among the various investment strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. The Adviser will periodically review and determine the allocations among the investment strategies and may make changes to these allocations when it believes it is beneficial to the Fund. The Adviser may, in its discretion, add to, delete from or modify the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund, or add other investment strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. In making allocations among such investment strategies and/or in changing the categories of investment strategies employed by the Fund, the Adviser expects to take into account the investment goals of the broader investment programs administered by the Adviser or its affiliates, for whose use the Fund is exclusively designed. As such, the Fund may perform differently from a similar fund that is managed without regard to such broader investment programs. The Fund will maintain a flexible design in order to support the potential introduction of additional strategies and/or managers as market opportunities arise. Each Sub-Adviser may use both its own proprietary and external research and securities selection process to manage its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets. The Adviser is responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Adviser. The Adviser is not required to allocate a minimum amount of Fund assets to any specific Sub-Adviser and may allocate, or re-allocate, zero Fund assets to a specific Sub-Adviser at any time. The Sub-Advisers are responsible for determining the amount of Fund assets allocated to each Sub-Sub-Adviser. The Adviser engages the following Sub-Advisers: AHL Partners LLP (“AHL”), Pacific Investment Management Co. (“PIMCO”), T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”), Dynamic Beta Investments LLC (“DBi”), BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) and Capital Fund Management S.A. (“CFM”). BlackRock currently allocates assets to BlackRock International Limited (“BIL”). The Adviser may adjust allocations to the Sub-Advisers at any time or make recommendations to the Board of Trustees of the Six Circles Trust (the “Board”) with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of a Sub-Adviser. As such, the identity of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers, the investment strategies they pursue, and the portion of the Fund allocated to them may change over time. For example, due to market conditions, the Adviser may choose not to allocate Fund assets to a Sub-Adviser or may reduce the portion of the Fund allocated to a Sub-Adviser to zero. Each Sub-Adviser is responsible for deciding which securities to purchase and sell for its respective portion of the Fund and for placing orders for the Fund’s transactions. However, the Adviser reserves the right to instruct Sub-Advisers as needed on certain Fund transactions and manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio directly, including, without limitation, for portfolio hedging, to temporarily adjust the Fund’s overall market exposure or to temporarily manage assets as a result of a Sub-Adviser’s resignation or removal. Below is a summary of each current Sub-Adviser’s investment approach. AHL — Trend Following Strategy With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, AHL employs computerized processes to identify investment opportunities across a wide range of markets around the world. The cornerstone of AHL’s investment philosophy is that financial markets exhibit persistent trends and other inefficiencies. Trends are a manifestation of serial correlation in financial markets – the phenomenon whereby past price movements influence future price behavior. Although price trends vary in their intensity, duration and frequency, they typically recur across sectors and markets. Trends are an attractive focus for active trading styles applied across a range of global markets. The strategy implements a systematic momentum strategy that seeks to profit from medium-term trends in liquid futures and forward markets. The strategy intends to invest mainly in a wide range of the most liquid futures markets, spanning equities, fixed income, commodities and foreign exchange. Investment decisions are executed via AHL’s proprietary execution strategy. AHL’s investment decision process is quantitative and primarily directional in nature, meaning that investment decisions are driven by mathematical models based on market trends and other historical relationships. The strategy determines trend strength and direction using multiple momentum signals which seek to capture medium term trends; positions are scaled inversely to market volatility to ensure balanced risk at market level, sector level and portfolio level. It is underpinned by risk control, ongoing research, diversification and the quest for efficiency. In line with the principle of diversification, the approach to portfolio construction and asset allocation is premised on the importance of deploying investment capital across the full range of sectors and markets. Particular attention is paid to correlation of markets and sectors, expected returns, market access costs and market liquidity. Portfolios are regularly reviewed and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect changes in these factors. The number and diversity of markets and strategies traded directly or indirectly by the strategy may change over the life of the investment. AHL’s strategy is designed to provide an excess return with a stable level of volatility regardless of market conditions. AHL seeks to do this by using systematic algorithms (i.e., a mathematical model) to scale positions based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of its allocated portion of the Fund. The algorithm measures the degree of volatility in a particular market. As volatilities increase, the algorithm will look to reduce exposure. Conversely, it will increase exposure, subject to risk limits, if the market is calm and volatility decreases. In implementing its investment program, AHL may hold significant cash and cash equivalents from time to time. PIMCO — Mortgage Opportunities Strategy With respect to the portion of the Fund allocated to PIMCO’s Mortgage Opportunities Strategy, PIMCO seeks to generate consistent absolute returns across full market cycles through active management across a wide array of mortgage-related and securitized securities. Untethered to a traditional benchmark, PIMCO has the ability to tactically allocate across various subsectors of the global mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) market, including U.S. and European markets, residential and commercial and agency and private label MBS and asset-backed securities (“ABS”). While PIMCO’s strategy seeks attractive absolute returns across full market cycles, the strategy’s flexibility allows for active management of its exposure to a variety of risk factors, including interest-rate risk and credit risk. T. Rowe Price— Floating Rate Bank Loan Strategy With respect to the portion of the Fund allocated to T. Rowe Price’s Floating Rate Bank Loan Strategy, T. Rowe Price will primarily invest in U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes and debt instruments, including U.S. dollar denominated bonds or loans of foreign issuers or lenders. To add additional diversification and liquidity, the portion of the Fund allocated to T. Rowe Price may also invest in high yield bonds that present good relative value along with liquid derivatives and cash. The loans held by the portion of the Fund allocated to T. Rowe Price may be senior or subordinate obligations of the borrower, although such portion of the Fund normally invests the majority of its assets in senior floating rate loans under normal conditions. For security selection, the investment team uses a proprietary fundamental credit research approach with a preference for higher quality and lower volatility securities. Selected investments will demonstrate the potential for capital appreciation, and/or attractive current yields. DBi — Multi-Strategy With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, DBi will seek to approximate the returns of a composite of hedge funds which employ alternative investment strategies identified by DBi. It will do so by researching and analyzing the returns of hedge funds which employ such alternative investment strategies and will seek to approximate the returns of a model portfolio of hedge funds that employ these identified strategies (the “Composite”). In constructing the Composite, DBi shall include a selection of hedge funds that implement a range of investment strategies including (i) equity long/short strategies; (ii) global macro strategies; (iii) event driven strategies; and (iv) relative value strategies. DBi will then construct the Composite by setting a weighting to each such strategy in the Composite and selecting the hedge funds employing those strategies that will be included in the Composite. The appropriate weightings in the Composite are determined by DBi based on its analysis of the hedge fund universe in order to allow it to construct the Composite in a manner which best replicates the returns of the overall hedge fund market. The weightings in the Composite and the hedge funds used in the Composite, may be changed by DBi over time depending on its views of market environment or its views regarding the merits of the various hedge funds. DBi will not invest directly in the hedge funds that are in the Composite. Rather, DBi will seek to approximate the returns of the Composite by investing primarily in futures contracts, with a significant percentage of its allocated portion of the Fund being kept in cash and cash equivalents. Excess cash is generally invested in U.S. treasury bills. BlackRock – Global Equity Market Neutral Strategy With respect to the portion of the Fund allocated to BlackRock’s Global Equity Market Neutral investment strategy, BlackRock will seek to produce returns that have a low correlation to the returns of the equity markets in which the Fund invests. BlackRock pursues this market-neutral strategy by taking both long and short positions primarily across a variety of developed market equity instruments. BlackRock expects to maintain long and short positions primarily through the use of swap agreements (including, but not limited to, total return swaps, some of which may be referred to as contracts for difference) and other derivative instruments, such as futures. Although BlackRock intends to maintain an overall long position in its portfolio investments, BlackRock generally expects to maintain significant short positions in equity securities and equity related instruments. In certain circumstances, these short positions may approach or reach the size of the overall long position. BlackRock looks to identify overvalued, undervalued or mispriced stocks and other equity instruments through proprietary ranking techniques. BlackRock takes long positions primarily in securities that BlackRock has identified as attractive and short positions in such securities that BlackRock has identified as overvalued or poised for underperformance. BlackRock may utilize derivative instruments as a significant part of its strategy. BlackRock’s investment process leverages fundamentally informed and data-driven insights, which may use a range of factors to generate investment ideas, including macroeconomic inputs, company fundamentals, machine learning and artificial intelligence methods including large language models, sentiment analysis, factor and thematic insights, and measures of whether a security is over- or under-valued. BlackRock may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment strategy. CFM – Cumulus Strategy With respect to its allocated portion of the Fund, CFM will seek to achieve long-term capital appreciation through returns that aim to be uncorrelated with traditional asset classes. CFM will follow the quantitative CFM Cumulus trading program which includes futures multi-strategy, equity statistical arbitrage, and relative value components. The program may take long and short exposures through a variety of financial instruments including securities, foreign exchange, futures, forwards, swaps (including equity swaps) and other derivatives on bonds, shares, rates, currencies, commodities, credit and indices, as well as derivatives on all the foregoing. The trading of the program is generally conducted using electronic means based on a number of proprietary systematic trading models. The program employs a systematic investment process which seeks to generate, weigh and aggregate signals based on such components to build a diversified investment portfolio. The program includes an integrated risk management system which seeks to monitor the risk of the portfolio on an ongoing basis. The risk of the individual trading strategies is adjusted on the basis of volatility forecasts in order to target a stable portfolio risk over the medium-term. The program seeks to be diversified within the asset classes traded. The program is exposed to the financial markets on a global basis focusing on markets that provide sufficient liquidity and supporting infrastructure. Trading may be extended to new markets when liquidity and market infrastructure allow. The program is statistical and systematic in nature. The system is fed with historical price and econometric time series data. A range of systems are employed which can be both technical and market specific in nature. Trade execution is generally electronic in all asset classes and is based upon execution models that seek to take advantage of short-term market information. As part of the Fund’s investment strategies, the Fund will have investment exposure, directly or indirectly, to a broad range of instruments, markets, and asset classes economically tied to the U.S. and foreign markets (including emerging markets). Investments may include, but are not limited to, equity securities, fixed income securities, foreign exchange securities, and derivative and commodity instruments, as more fully described below. The Fund may take both long and short positions in any of its investments. The Fund has flexibility to allocate its assets across all asset classes, market sectors, and instruments. Other than limits described herein, in the Statement of Additional Information and under applicable law, there is no limit on the amount of exposure the Fund may have to any specific asset class, market sector, or instrument. The Fund may purchase securities or other investments throughout the world on recognized markets, in private placements, and through both initial and secondary under-written offerings (including Rule 144 and 144A securities, which are securities that may be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act). To the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in a variety of commodities and commodity-linked derivatives. The Fund may have significant investment leverage (directly or indirectly) as a result of its use of derivatives. The Fund may invest in the instruments described in the following paragraphs, though the Fund may not necessarily hold all of these instruments at any given time. As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund will invest a substantial portion of its net assets, without limitation, in derivatives, and may use such instruments for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies to manage duration, credit quality, and currency risk and/or as substitutes for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest. A derivative is an instrument that has a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index. The Fund may use futures, swaps, forward contracts, foreign exchange instruments, options and structured notes, as well as repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and other types of derivative instruments linked to stock indices, currencies, bonds, interest rates and commodity instruments in connection with its principal strategies. These derivatives may also be used in certain market conditions in order to hedge various investments, for risk management purposes, as a substitute for securities and other instruments in which the Fund can invest or to increase income or gain to the Fund. The Fund may also use currency derivatives as part of its investment strategy. As a result of the Fund’s use of derivatives, the Fund may have economic leverage, which means the sum of the Fund’s investment exposures through its use of derivatives may significantly exceed the amount of assets invested in the Fund, although these exposures may vary over time. The Fund may also hold cash (such as time deposits) or invest significant amounts in cash equivalents (such as U.S. Treasury and foreign government obligations) to serve as collateral for derivative positions or in the event of a decrease in market exposure. As the Fund may purchase derivatives generally using only a fraction of the assets that would be needed to purchase the relevant securities directly, a Sub-Adviser may therefore seek to achieve greater returns by purchasing derivatives and investing the remaining assets in other types of securities described herein to add excess return. The Fund expects that, under normal market conditions, the notional value (which is the face or nominal amount of a derivatives transaction) of its derivatives exposure generally will exceed that of its net assets. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis and may engage in short sales (which are sales by the Fund of securities it does not own with the hope of purchasing the same securities at a later date at a lower price). The Fund may take long and/or short positions (which represent sales by the Fund of securities that it does not own with the hope of purchasing the same securities at a later date at a lower price) in a wide range of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, commodities, and currencies, among others. Long positions benefit from an increase in the price of the underlying instrument or asset class, while short positions benefit from a decrease in that price. Short positions (implemented via a derivative instrument such as futures or a swap) involve more risk than long positions in stocks because the maximum sustainable loss on a stock purchased is limited to the amount paid for the stock plus the transaction costs, whereas there is no maximum loss on a short exposure. It is possible that the market value of the securities that the Fund holds in long positions will underperform at the same time that the market value of the securities for which the Fund has a short exposure outperforms, thereby increasing the Fund’s potential volatility. As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in various types of fixed income instruments such as bonds, debt securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. Additionally, as part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund will invest in floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities. Floating rate loans represent amounts borrowed by companies or other entities from banks and other lenders. The loans in which the Fund invests may be referred to as “leveraged loans” because the borrowing companies often have significantly more debt than equity. The loans held by the Fund may be senior or subordinate obligations of the borrower, although the Fund normally invests in senior floating rate loans. In the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior floating rate loans are typically paid (to the extent assets are available) before other creditors of the borrower, such as bondholders and stockholders. Holders of subordinate loans may be paid after more senior bondholders. Loans may or may not be secured by collateral. Floating rate loans have interest rates that reset periodically (typically quarterly or monthly). Floating rate loans may be structured and administered by a financial institution that acts as the agent of the lenders participating in the floating rate loan. The Fund may acquire floating rate loans directly from a lender or through the agent, as an assignment from another lender who holds a floating rate loan, or as a participation interest in another lender’s floating rate loan or portion thereof. The Fund currently expects to invest a substantial portion of its net assets in below investment-grade credit instruments, including “high yield” instruments (also known as “junk bonds”) and “distressed” debt instruments. These instruments generally (i) will carry a credit rating at the time of investment of BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) or Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or of the equivalent quality by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if such instruments are unrated, (ii) will be deemed by a Sub-Adviser (as defined below) to be of comparable quality at the time of investment. The Fund may invest in fixed income instruments with a credit rating as low as, or lower than, CCC/CCC/Caa, according to S&P, Fitch and Moody’s, respectively. Additionally, as part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in any combination of mortgage-related securities or other asset-backed securities. The Fund may also invest in mortgage- or real estate-related equity instruments. Further, as part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may invest in equity securities, warrants, and other investment companies such as open-end funds, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). As part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund seeks to gain exposure to the commodity markets by investing up to 25% of its total assets in wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (each, a “Subsidiary” and together, the “Subsidiaries”). Generally, the Subsidiaries will invest primarily in commodity futures, but may also invest in financial futures and forwards and swap contracts, fixed income securities, pooled investment vehicles, including open-end investment companies, and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for such Subsidiary’s derivative positions. The Fund invests in the Subsidiaries in order to gain exposure to the commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax law, rules and regulations that apply to “regulated investment companies.” Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivatives; however, the Subsidiaries and the Fund, in the aggregate, will comply with applicable requirements for derivatives transactions set forth in Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act. In addition, the Fund and the Subsidiaries will comply with the same fundamental investment restrictions on an aggregate basis, and the Subsidiaries follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund to the extent those restrictions, policies and procedures are applicable to the investment activities of the Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiaries do not, and will not, seek to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiaries and does not expect shares of the Subsidiaries to be offered or sold to other investors. The Fund does not intend to create or acquire primary control of any entity that primarily engages in investment activities, in securities or other assets, other than the entities that are wholly-owned by the Fund. The Fund’s investments are generally made without restriction as to issuer market capitalization, country, currency, or maturity. The Fund may invest in issuers in the United States as well as issuers in foreign developed countries and emerging markets. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” fund under the Investment Company Act. A non-diversified fund is permitted (but is not required) to invest a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers. Due to the nature of the investments in which the Fund is seeking to invest, at times a significant portion of the issuers of the investments in the Fund’s portfolio may be in the financial services sector. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading and may experience high levels of portfolio turnover. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities or other investments will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics or the threat or potential of one or more such factors and occurrences. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures, options, swaps and forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The Fund may be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate any effect on the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Certain derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation. Derivatives also can expose the Fund to derivative liquidity risk, which includes the risks involving the liquidity demands that derivatives can create to make payments of margin, collateral, or settlement payments to counterparties, legal risk, which includes the risk of loss resulting from insufficient or unenforceable contractual documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a Fund’s counterparty and operational risk, which includes documentation or settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls and human error. Derivatives also subject the Fund to liquidity risk because the liquidity of derivatives is often based on the liquidity of the underlying instruments. In addition, the possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in one or more regions or small groups of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund. Contracts for Difference Risk. A contract for difference (“CFD”) is a contract between two parties, typically described as “buyer” and “seller,” stipulating that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value in the future. (If the difference is negative, then the buyer instead pays the seller.) In effect, CFDs are financial derivatives that allow a Fund to take advantage of values moving up (long positions) or values moving down (short positions) on underlying assets. A contract for difference offers exposure to price changes in an underlying security without ownership of such security, typically by providing investors the ability to trade on margin. CFDs are over-the-counter derivative instruments that are subject to the credit risk of the counterparty. The Fund will transact in contracts for difference which may increase the Fund’s financial risk to the extent that there is an imperfect correlation between the return on the Fund’s obligation to its counterparty under the contract for difference and the return on related assets in its portfolio. Contracts for difference are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any U.S. regulator. The Fund’s investments in CFDs are subject to the risks associated with the underlying reference obligations and derivative instruments, including, among others, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, derivatives risk and margin risk. Quantitative (Model) Investing Risk. Models (including quantitativemodels), data, and investment programs are used to screen potential investments for the applicable portion of the Fund. The success of a Fund’s quantitative investment strategy may depend in part on the effectiveness of a Sub-Adviser’s quantitative tools for screening securities. Securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis, which could adversely affect their value. As a result, a portfolio of securities selected using quantitative analysis may underperform the market as a whole or a portfolio of securities selected using a different investment approach, such as fundamental analysis. A Sub-Adviser’s quantitative tools may use factors that may not be predictive of a security’s value, and any changes over time in the factors that affect a security’s value may not be reflected in the quantitative model. The quantitative tools may not react as expected to market events, resulting in losses for the Fund. Data for some companies, particularly for non-U.S. companies, may be less available and/or less current than data for other companies. When models or data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon expose the Fund to potential risks. In addition, issues in the construction and implementation of the models, including software or hardware malfunction, power loss, software bugs, malicious code, viruses, system crashes, issues related to the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and other technological failures or various other events or circumstances within or beyond the control of a Sub-Adviser, may adversely impact the Fund. Some of the models used by certain Sub-Advisers are predictive in nature. The use of predictive models has inherent risks. There is no assurance that the models are complete or accurate, or representative of future market cycles, nor will they always be beneficial to the Fund if they are accurate. These strategies may incorporate factors that are not predictive of a security’s value. Risks Associated with the Use of Artificial Intelligence ("AI") Tools. The Adviser and Sub-Advisers rely on programs and systems that utilize AI, machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and other data science technologies ("AI Tools"). AI Tools are highly complex, and may be flawed, hallucinate, reflect biases included in the data on which such tools are trained, be of poor quality, lack transparency, infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or be otherwise harmful. The Adviser and Sub-Advisers typically incorporate human oversight including through the standards and policies that define the governance framework, to reduce the risk of acting on potentially defective outputs. The U.S. and global legal and regulatory environment relating to the use of AI Tools is uncertain and rapidly evolving, and could require changes in the Adviser’s and/or Sub-Advisers' implementation of AI Tools and increase compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance. Further, the Adviser and Sub-Advisers may use AI Tools developed by third parties, and the Adviser and Sub-Advisers may have limited visibility over the accuracy and completeness of such AI Tools. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Risk. Foreign currency forward contracts, including non-deliverable forwards (“NDFs”) (which are transactions that represent agreements between a fund and a counterparty (usually a commercial bank) to buy or sell a specified amount of a particular currency at an agreed-upon foreign exchange rate on an agreed-upon future date, where there is no physical delivery of the currency on the settlement of the transaction), are derivative instruments pursuant to a contract where the parties agree to a fixed price for an agreed amount of foreign currency at an agreed date or to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract and include the risks associated with fluctuations in currency. There are no limitations on daily price movements of forward contracts. There can be no assurance that any strategy used will succeed. Not all forward contracts, including NDFs, require a counterparty to post collateral, which may expose the Fund to greater losses in the event of a default by a counterparty. The use of foreign currency forward contracts may expose the Fund to additional risks, such as credit risk, liquidity risk, and counterparty risk, that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the currencies underlying the foreign currency forward contract. Futures Contracts Risk. Futures contracts are derivative instruments pursuant to a contract where the parties agree to a fixed price for an agreed amount of securities or other underlying assets at an agreed date. The use of such derivative instruments may expose the Fund to additional risks, such as credit risk, liquidity risk, and counterparty risk, that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. There can be no assurance that any strategy used will succeed. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the prices of futures contracts and the value of their underlying instruments or indexes. There also can be no assurance that, at all times, a liquid market will exist for offsetting a futures contract that the Fund has previously bought or sold, and this may result in the inability to close a futures contract when desired. Futures contracts may experience potentially dramatic price changes, which will increase the volatility of the Fund and may involve a small investment of cash (the amount of initial and variation margin) relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed (the potential increase or decrease in the price of the futures contract). Government bond futures contracts, such as treasury futures contracts, expose the Fund to price fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates and to potential losses if interest rates do not move as expected. Interest rate futures contracts expose the Fund to price fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates. The Fund could suffer a loss if interest rates rise after the Fund has purchased an interest rate futures contract or fall after the Fund has sold an interest rate futures contract. Foreign currency futures contracts expose the Fund to risks associated with fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. Foreign currency futures contracts are similar to foreign currency forward contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and may have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. The Fund may use foreign currency futures contracts for the same purposes as foreign currency forward contracts, subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulations. Futures contracts on bond and equity indices expose the Fund to volatility in an underlying index. Unlike the financial futures markets, in the commodity futures markets, there are costs of physical storage associated with purchasing the underlying commodity. The price of the commodity futures contract will reflect the storage costs of purchasing the physical commodity, including the time value of money invested in the physical commodity. To the extent that the storage costs for an underlying commodity change while the Fund is invested in futures contracts on that commodity, the value of the futures contract may also change. Swap Agreements Risk. Swap agreements or “swaps” are transactions in which the Fund and a counterparty agree to pay or receive payments at specified dates based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates or the performance of specified securities, indices or other assets based on a specified amount (the “notional” amount). Swaps can involve greater risks than a direct investment in an underlying asset, because swaps typically include a certain amount of embedded leverage, and as such, are subject to leverage risk. If swaps are used as a hedging strategy, the Fund is subject to the risk that the hedging strategy may not eliminate the risk that it is intended to offset, due to, among other reasons, the occurrence of unexpected price movements or the non-occurrence of expected price movements. Swaps also may be difficult to value. Swaps may be subject to liquidity risk and counterparty risk, and swaps that are traded over-the-counter are not subject to standardized clearing requirements and may involve greater liquidity and counterparty risks. Commodities Risk. The value of commodities and commodity-linked derivative investments can be extremely volatile and exposure to commodities could cause the value of the Fund’s shares to decline or fluctuate in a more rapid and unpredictable manner. The Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivative instruments may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, commodity price volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as changes in supply and demand, resource availability, speculation in the commodities markets, drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, pandemics, embargoes, tariffs, war, acts of terrorism and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The Fund may invest significantly in a particular sector of the commodities market (such as oil, metal or agricultural products). As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to risks associated with those sectors. No active trading market may exist for certain commodities investments. As a result, it may not always be possible for the Fund to liquidate commodity-related investments at an advantageous time or price, which may subject the Fund to additional liquidity risk. Certain types of commodities instruments are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not perform or be unable to perform in accordance with the terms of the instrument. The Fund’s investments in commodity-related instruments may lead to losses in excess of the Fund’s investment in such products, as some commodity-linked derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Such losses can significantly and adversely affect the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund and, consequently, a shareholder’s interest in the Fund. Because a portion of the Fund’s performance may be linked to the performance of potentially volatile commodities, investors should be willing to assume the risks of significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund’s shares. CFTC Regulation Risk. The Fund is subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a “commodity pool” and the Adviser is subject to regulation as a “commodity pool operator” with respect to the Fund. As a result, the Fund is subject to various CFTC requirements, including certain registration, disclosure and operational requirements. Compliance with these requirements may increase Fund expenses. Leveraging Risk. Certain transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Such transactions may include reverse repurchase agreements, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivative instruments, and may give rise to leverage. Leverage may result in losses that exceed the amount originally invested and may accelerate the rate of losses. Leverage tends to magnify, sometimes significantly, the effect of any increase or decrease in the Fund’s exposure to an asset or class of assets and may cause the Fund’s net NAV per share to be volatile. This means that leverage entails a heightened risk of loss. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may make investments that are illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. The liquidity of portfolio securities can deteriorate rapidly due to credit events affecting issuers or guarantors, such as a credit rating downgrade, or due to general market conditions or a lack of willing buyers. An inability to sell one or more portfolio positions, or selling such positions at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, can increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities or the lack of an active market. The potential for liquidity risk may be magnified by a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from money market and other fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, potentially causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Multi-Manager Risk. The Fund’s performance depends on the skill of the Adviser in selecting, overseeing, and allocating Fund assets to the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment styles may not always be complementary. The Sub-Advisers operate independently (e.g., make investment decisions independently of one another), and may make decisions that conflict with each other. For example, it is possible that a Sub-Adviser may purchase a security for the Fund at the same time that another Sub-Adviser sells the same security, resulting in higher transaction costs without accomplishing any net investment result; or that several Sub-Advisers purchase the same security at the same time, without aggregating their transactions, resulting in higher transaction costs. The Fund’s Sub-Advisers may underperform the market generally, underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund and/or underperform private investment funds with similar strategies managed by the Sub-Advisers. Subject to the overall supervision of the Fund’s investment program by the Fund’s Adviser, each Sub-Adviser is responsible, with respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets it manages, for compliance with the Fund’s investment strategies and applicable law. Tax Risk. To comply with its asset diversification test applicable to a regulated investment company, the Fund will limit its investments in all of the Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) to 25% of the Fund’s total assets at the end of each quarter. The Fund intends to invest in complex derivatives for which there is not clear guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the calculation of such investments under the asset diversification test applicable to regulated investment companies. There are no assurances that the IRS will agree with the Fund’s calculation under the asset diversification test which could cause the Fund to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company. Structured Products Risk. Holders of structured products bear risks of the underlying investments, index, or reference obligation and are subject to counterparty credit, valuation, and liquidity risks. In addition to the general risks associated with debt securities, structured products carry additional risks, including, but not limited to, the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; the quality of the reference instruments may decline in value or default; the possibility that changes in the reference instrument will reduce the interest rate or principal amount payable on maturity; and the possibility that the position is subordinate to other classes. Structured products may be less liquid than other types of securities and more volatile than the reference instrument. Floating and Variable Rate Securities Risk. Floating and variable rate securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the prime rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value. Floating Rate Loans Risk. Transactions involving floating rate loans may have significantly longer settlement periods than more traditional bond investments (settlement can take longer than seven days) and often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or highly leveraged, which increases the risk that the Fund may not receive its proceeds in a timely manner and that the Fund may incur unexpected losses in order to pay redemption proceeds to its shareholders. Even if a loan is secured by collateral, the value of collateral securing a floating rate loan could decline, be insufficient to satisfy the loan obligation, or be difficult to liquidate. The Fund’s access to the collateral could be limited by bankruptcy or by the type of loan it purchases. As a result, a collateralized senior loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. In addition, loans are not registered or regulated under the federal securities laws like most stocks and bonds, so investors in loans have less protection against improper practices than investors in registered securities. While a loan assignment typically transfers all legal and economic rights to the buyer, a loan participation typically allows the seller to maintain legal title to the loan, meaning the buyer of a loan participation generally has no direct rights against the borrower and is exposed to credit risk of both the borrower and seller of the participation. Senior Loans Risk. Senior loans are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan, which typically holds the most senior position in the issuer’s capital structure, to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans. Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, their credit quality may deteriorate. Prices of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if any of the issuers or counterparties it is invested in are subject to an actual or perceived deterioration in their credit quality. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of the Fund’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities. High Yield Securities and Loan Risk. The Fund invests in instruments including junk bonds, loans and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed. These investments are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Such investments may be subject to additional risks including subordination to other creditors, no collateral or limited rights in collateral, lack of a regular trading market, extended settlement periods, liquidity risks, prepayment risks, potentially less protection under the federal securities laws and lack of publicly available information. The Fund will not have direct recourse against the borrower when the Fund invests in a loan participation. High yield securities and loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid. Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may change interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. Any such changes could be sudden and could expose debt markets to significant volatility and reduced liquidity for Fund investments. Debt Securities and Other Callable Securities Risk. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund invests in debt securities. The issuers of these securities and other callable securities may be able to repay principal in advance, especially when interest rates fall. Changes in prepayment rates can affect the return on investment and yield of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Distressed Securities Risk. Any investments in distressed or defaulted securities subject the Fund to even greater credit risk than investments in other below investment-grade instruments. Investments in obligations of restructured, distressed and bankrupt issuers, including debt obligations that are already in default, generally trade significantly below par and may lack liquidity. Defaulted securities might be repaid only after lengthy bankruptcy proceedings, during which the issuer might not make any interest or other payments, and such proceedings may result in only partial recovery of principal or no recovery at all. Recovery could involve an exchange of the defaulted obligation for other debt instruments or equity securities of the issuer or its affiliates, each of which may in turn be illiquid or speculative and be valued by the Fund at significantly less than its original purchase price. In addition, investments in distressed issuers may subject the Fund to liability as a lender. Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. A change in the financial condition of a single issuer may affect securities markets as a whole. Bank Loan Risk. The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the Fund may have difficulty selling them. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set-off rights, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation. Bank loan transactions may take more than seven days to settle, meaning that proceeds would be unavailable to make additional investments or meet redemptions. Short Sales and Other Short Positions Risk. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the instrument sold short increases in value between the date of the short sale and the date on which an offsetting position is purchased. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on a Sub-Adviser’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. As there is potentially no limit on the amount that the security that the Fund is required to purchase may have appreciated, the Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short position transaction, particularly in cases where the Fund is unable to close out its short position. The Fund may invest the proceeds of a short sale and, therefore, be subject to the effect of leverage, in that short selling may amplify changes in the Fund’s NAV since it may increase the exposure of the Fund to certain markets and may increase losses and the volatility of returns. There is also the risk that the third party to the short sale or other short position will not fulfill its contractual obligations, causing a loss to the Fund. Loan Participations and Assignments Risk. The Fund may invest in fixed- and floating-rate loans, which investments generally will be in the form of loan participations and assignments of all or portions of such loans. Participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including extension risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. Loans are subject to the risk that scheduled interest or principal payments will not be made in a timely manner or at all, either of which may adversely affect the value of the loan. In addition, the collateral underlying a loan may be unavailable or insufficient to satisfy a borrower’s obligation, and a Fund could become part owner of any collateral if a loan is foreclosed, subjecting the Fund to costs associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. If a Fund purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower Covenant Lite Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in, or obtain exposure to, floating rate loans that are “covenant lite.” Covenants contained in loan documentation are intended to protect lenders by imposing certain restrictions and other limitations on a borrower’s operations or assets and by providing certain information and consent rights to lenders. Covenant lite loans may lack financial maintenance covenants that in certain situations can allow lenders to claim a default on the loan to seek to protect the interests of the lenders. The absence of financial maintenance covenants in a covenant lite loan might result in a lower recovery in the event of a default by the borrower. Covenant lite loans have become much more prevalent in recent years. Impairment of Collateral Risk. The value of collateral securing a debt instrument could decline, be insufficient to satisfy the obligation or be difficult to liquidate. The Fund’s access to the collateral could be limited by bankruptcy or by the type of loan it purchases. As a result, a collateralized debt instrument may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Government Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities (such as securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae or the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. The income generated by investments may not keep pace with inflation. Actions by governments and central banking authorities could result in changes in interest rates. Periods of higher inflation could cause such authorities to raise interest rates, which may adversely affect the Fund and its investments. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by U.S.-government-related organizations, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support. Therefore, U.S. government-related organizations may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, unstable governments, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, decreased market liquidity, expropriation and nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered or receive delivery of securities paid for and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments or delivery when due or default completely. Foreign market trading hours, clearance and settlement procedures, and holiday schedules may limit the Fund’s ability to buy and sell securities. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. Additionally, the Fund may have substantial difficulties exercising its legal rights or enforcing a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular in emerging market countries, which can increase the risks of loss. From time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company's performance. Additionally, one or more of these companies could suffer damage to its reputation if the market identifies it as a company that invests or deals with countries that the U.S. government identifies as state sponsors of terrorism or subjects to sanctions. Sovereign Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by or guaranteed by sovereign governments, which may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due. In times of economic uncertainty in the country at issue, the prices of these securities may be more volatile than those of corporate debt obligations or of other government debt obligations. These securities are also subject to Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. Income Risk. The Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall because the Fund may hold a significant portion of short duration securities and/or securities that have floating or variable interest rates. The Fund’s income may decline because the Fund invests in lower yielding bonds, as bonds in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, or when the Fund needs to purchase additional bonds. Prepayment Risk. The issuer of certain securities may repay principal in advance, especially when yields fall. Changes in the rate at which prepayments or redemptions occur can affect the return on investment of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher coupons, resulting in an unexpected capital loss. Counterparty Risk. The Fund may have exposure to the credit risk of counterparties with which it deals in connection with the investment of its assets, whether engaged in exchange-traded or off-exchange transactions or through brokers, dealers, custodians and exchanges through which it engages. In addition, many protections afforded to cleared transactions, such as the security afforded by transacting through a clearinghouse, might not be available in connection with over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions. Therefore, in those instances in which the Fund enters into OTC transactions, the account will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and will sustain losses. Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities including so-called “sub-prime” mortgages, credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by government-related organization that are subject to certain other risks including prepayment and call risks. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. In periods of either rising or declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. As a result, in periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility. During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. Additionally, asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to risks associated with their structure and the nature of the assets underlying the securities and the servicing of those assets. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities, or debt securities. Collateralized mortgage obligations and stripped mortgage-backed securities, including those structured as interest-only and principal-only, are more volatile and may be more sensitive to the rate of prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under “Credit Risk,” for “sub-prime” mortgages is generally higher than other types of mortgage-backed securities. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities. Credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes are general obligations issued by a government-related organization or special purpose vehicle, respectively, and are unguaranteed. Unlike mortgage-backed securities, investors in credit risk transfer securities and credit-linked notes issued by a government-related organization have no recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. In addition, some or all of the mortgage default risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to the noteholder. There can be no assurance that losses will not occur on an investment. These investments are also subject to the risks described under “Prepayment Risk.” U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics and may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and may affect the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment impacted by that currency loses value because that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Although the Fund may attempt to hedge some or all of its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may not be successful in reducing the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. In addition, the Fund’s use of currency hedging may not be successful, including due to delays in placing trades and other operational limitations, and the use of such strategies may lower the Fund’s potential returns. Zero-Coupon Bond Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. LIBOR Discontinuance Risk. The London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) was a leading floating rate benchmark used in loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments. After the global financial crisis, regulators globally determined that existing interest rate benchmarks should be reformed based on a number of factors, including that LIBOR and other interbank offering rates (“IBORs”) may no longer be representative of the underlying markets and, as a result, publication of all LIBOR settings has ceased. New or alternative reference rates have since been used in place of LIBOR. Replacement rates that have been identified include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR,” which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR and measures the cost of U.S dollar overnight borrowings collateralized by treasuries) and the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate (“SONIA,” which is intended to replace pound sterling LIBOR and measures the overnight interest rate paid by banks in the sterling market). Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. As a result of the benchmark reforms, the Adviser, Sub-Advisers, and the Funds have generally transitioned to successor or alternative reference rates as necessary. Although the transition process away from IBORs for most instruments has been completed, there is no assurance that any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance, which may affect the value, volatility, liquidity, or return on certain of a Fund’s loans, notes, derivatives and other instruments or investments and result in costs incurred in connection with changing reference rates used for positions, closing out positions, and entering into new trades. The transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates may result in operational issues for a Fund or its investments. Moreover, certain aspects of the transition from IBORs will rely on the actions of third-party market participants, such as clearing houses, trustees, administrative agents, asset servicers and certain service providers; no assurances can be given as to the impact of the transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or its investments. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other IBORs (e.g., Euribor) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform. Restricted and Privately Placed Securities Risk. Restricted securities are securities that cannot be offered for public resale unless registered under the applicable securities laws or that have a contractual restriction that prohibits or limits their resale. Restricted securities include private placement securities that have not been registered under the applicable securities laws, such as Rule 144A securities, and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued pursuant to Regulation S. Private placements are generally subject to strict restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. Restricted securities may be illiquid. The Fund may be unable to sell a restricted security on short notice or may be able to sell them only at a price below current value. It may be more difficult to determine a market value for a restricted security. Also, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security, so it may be less able to predict a loss. In addition, if Fund management receives material nonpublic information about the issuer, the Fund may as a result be unable to sell the securities. Certain restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses. Subsidiary Risk. By investing in a Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with such Subsidiary’s investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund or a Subsidiary will be achieved. Each Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and is not subject to all the investor protections of the Investment Company Act. Regulation S Securities Risk. Regulation S securities may be less liquid than publicly traded securities and may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if they were publicly traded. Accordingly, Regulation S securities are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties and potential illiquidity. Repurchase Agreement Risk. Repurchase agreements involve some risk to the Fund that the counterparty does not meet its obligation under the agreement. Inflation-Linked Security Risk. Inflation-linked debt securities are subject to the effects of changes in market interest rates caused by factors other than inflation (real interest rates). In general, the price of an inflation-linked security tends to decline when real interest rates increase. Unlike conventional bonds, the principal and interest payments of inflation-linked securities, such as Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, are adjusted periodically to a specified rate of inflation (e.g., Non-Seasonally Adjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”)). There can be no assurance that the inflation index used will accurately measure the real rate of inflation. These securities may lose value in the event that the actual rate of inflation is different than the rate of the inflation index. Real Estate Investment Trusts Risk. The Fund’s investments in securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and creditworthiness of REIT issuers. Debt securities of REITs are also subject to the risks of debt securities in general. For example, such securities are more sensitive to interest rates than equity securities of REITs. Hedging Risk. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges the market conditions incorrectly, or the hedged instrument does not correlate to the risk sought to be hedged, the hedge might be unsuccessful, reduce the Fund’s return, or create a loss. In addition, hedges, even when successful in mitigating risk, may not prevent the Fund from experiencing losses on its investments. Hedging instruments may also reduce or eliminate gains that may otherwise have been available had the Fund not used the hedging instruments. Relative Value Strategies Risk. Relative value strategies utilized in the Fund depend on a Sub-Advisers’ ability to identify unjustified or temporary discrepancies between the value of two or more related financial instruments, and are subject to the risk that a Sub-Advisers’ evaluation of the relative price differential may be incorrect or may never be realized in the market price of the securities in which the Fund invests. Macro Strategy Risk. The profitability of any macro strategy depends primarily on the ability of the Sub-Adviser to predict derivative contract price movements to implement investment theses regarding macroeconomic trends. Such price movements are influenced by, among other things: changes in interest rates; governmental and economic programs, policies and events; weather and climate conditions; changing supply and demand relationships; changes in balances of payments and trade; rates of inflation and deflation; currency devaluations and revaluations; and changes in philosophies and emotions of market participants. Event-Linked Instrument Risk. Investing in event-linked bonds, including bonds known as “catastrophe bonds,” and other event-linked instruments involves unique risks. If a trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other physical or weather-related phenomenon, causes losses exceeding a specific amount in the geographic region and time period specified in a bond, the Fund may lose a portion or all of its principal invested in the bond or suffer a reduction in credited interest. Some event-linked instruments have features that delay the return of capital upon the occurrence of a specified event; in these cases, whether or not there is loss of capital or interest, the return on the investment may be significantly lower during the extension period. In addition to specified trigger events, event-linked instruments expose the Fund to other risks, such as credit risk, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, adverse tax consequences, and foreign exchange risk. Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”) and Investment Company Risk. The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies and ETFs. Shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company or ETF when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company or ETF. The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETF’s or investment company’s investments. ETFs, investment companies and other investment vehicles that invest in commodities or currencies are subject to the risks associated with direct investments in commodities or currencies. The price and movement of an ETF or closed-end fund designed to track an index may not track the index and may result in a loss. In addition, closed-end funds that trade on an exchange often trade at a price below their NAV (also known as a discount). Certain ETFs or closed-end funds traded on exchanges may be thinly-traded and experience large spreads between the “ask” price quoted by a seller and the “bid” price offered by a buyer. Structured Notes Risk. Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. The price of structured notes may be very volatile, and such notes may have a limited trading market, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. The payments on a structured note may vary based on changes in one or more specified reference instruments, such as a floating interest rate compared to a fixed interest rate, the exchange rates between two currencies, one or more securities or a securities index. A structured note may be positively or negatively indexed. For example, its principal amount and/or interest rate may increase or decrease if the value of the reference instrument increases, depending upon the terms of the instrument. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the structured note might pay less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Transactions Risk. TBA purchase commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date or if the counterparty does not deliver the securities as promised. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to settlement date. TBA transactions involve counterparty risk. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the Fund to potential loss and could affect the Fund’s returns. Mortgage Dollar Roll Risk. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls involving mortgage pass-through securities including mortgage TBAs and other mortgage-backed securities. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited. Short sales of mortgage TBAs and engaging in mortgage dollar rolls may be subject to leverage risks as described under “Derivatives Risk.” In addition, mortgage dollar rolls may increase interest rate risk and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains. Industry and Sector Focus Risk. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, contagion risk within a particular industry or sector or to other industries or sectors, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, the value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector. Allocation Risk. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends upon the Adviser’s ability to select the optimum mix of underlying exposures in light of market conditions. There is a risk that the Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the investment strategies may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund will likely engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility that the recognition of capital gains will be accelerated, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk. Each Sub-Adviser and its portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary investment process, techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for its allocated portion of the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these decisions will produce the desired results. In addition, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to each Sub-Adviser in connection with managing its allocated portions of the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective. Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk. Collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of loan obligations. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CLO in which the Fund invests. CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and prepayment and extension risk, as well as the risk of default on the underlying asset. For example, a liquidity crisis in the credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and limited liquidity for such instruments. When the Fund invests in CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CLO’s expenses. Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. Equity Securities Risk. Investments in equity securities (such as stocks) may be more volatile and carry more risks than some other forms of investment. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. If a company becomes insolvent, its equity securities are repaid only after all other debts of the company have been repaid. This can result in a potential severe reduction in, or total loss of, their value. Investing in equity securities may also expose the Fund to inflation and currency risk. Further, the investor will be exposed to the specific risks of the industry in which the company operates. For example, a computer chip manufacturer might have exposure to the availability and price of certain metals. Equity securities may or may not be registered, publicly listed or traded on an exchange, and these securities are more likely to be illiquid and therefore subject to a higher degree of liquidity risk than registered or listed securities. Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results of those issuing the securities. The value of the Fund’s shares may also be more volatile than the value of a fund which invests in more securities. Convertible Securities and Contingent Convertible Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Convertible securities may be lower-rated securities subject to greater levels of credit risk. Preferred Securities Risk. Preferred securities represent an equity interest in a company that generally entitles the holder to receive, in preference to the holders of other securities such as common stocks, dividends and a fixed share of the proceeds resulting from a liquidation of the company. Preferred and other senior securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company’s preferred and other senior securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. For this reason, the value of preferred and other senior securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Large Shareholder Risk. To the extent a large proportion of shares are held by a small number of shareholders (or a single shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that these shareholders will purchase or redeem shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or its affiliates. Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency. You could lose money investing in the Fund.
