The performance quoted is past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Exchange-traded funds are subject to certain market risks. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF (the “Fund”) acquired the assets and liabilities of the JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund (“Acquired Fund”) in a reorganization that occurred as of the close of business on May 6, 2022. Performance and financial history of the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares have been adopted by the Fund and will be used going forward. As a result, the performance for the Fund prior to close of business on May 6, 2022 is the performance of the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares. The inception date for the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares was October 1, 2018. Returns for the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares. The inception date for the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares was July 31, 1998. Because performance for the Fund’s shares has not been adjusted to reflect the Fund’s different expenses than those of the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares and Class I Shares. In addition, had the Acquired Fund been structured as an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), its performance may have differed. Performance for the Acquired Fund is based on the net asset value ("NAV") per share of the Acquired Fund Shares rather than on market-determined prices. Prior to the Fund’s listing on May 9, 2022, the NAV performance of the Fund and the Class R6 Shares of the Acquired Fund are used as proxy market price returns.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in shares of the Fund, the the S&P Composite 1500 Index and the S&P 1000 Index from June 30, 2014 to June 30,2024. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the S&P Composite 1500 Index and the the S&P 1000 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with an ETF and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the benchmarks, if applicable. The S&P Composite 1500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of the U.S. equity market. The S&P Composite 1500 Index is a combination of the S&P 500 Index, the S&P MidCap 400 Index, and the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The S&P 1000 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of mid and small cap companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements, performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemption or sale of Fund shares. The returns shown are based on NAVs calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the NAVs in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com or by calling 1-844-457-6383.
JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF (the “Fund”) acquired the assets and liabilities of the JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund (“Acquired Fund”) in a reorganization that occurred as of the close of business on July 28, 2023. Performance and financial history of the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares have been adopted by the Fund and will be used going forward. As a result, the performance for the Fund prior to the close of business on July 28, 2023 is the performance of the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares. Inception date for the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares is October 1, 2018. Returns for the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares prior to their inception date are based on the performance of the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares. The actual returns of the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares would have been different than those shown because the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares had different expenses than the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares. Inception date for the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares is July 29, 2011. Because performance for the Fund’s shares has not been adjusted to reflect the Fund’s different expenses, its performance may have been different from the performance of the Acquired Fund’s Class R6 Shares and Class I Shares. In addition, had the Acquired Fund been structured as an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), its performance may have differed. Performance for the Acquired Fund is based on the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Acquired Fund Shares rather than on market-determined prices. Prior to the Fund’s listing on July 31, 2023, the NAV performance of the Fund and the Class R6 Shares of the Acquired Fund are used as proxy market price returns.
The graph illustrates comparative performance for $10,000 invested in shares of the Fund and the S&P 500 Index (“Index”) from June 30, 2014 to June 30, 2024. The performance of the Fund reflects the deduction of Fund expenses and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. The performance of the S&P 500 Index does not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with an ETF and approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment of the securities included in the Index, if applicable. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of large companies in the U.S. stock market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Fund performance may reflect the waiver of the Fund’s fees and reimbursement of expenses for certain periods. Without these waivers and reimbursements,performance would have been lower. Also, performance shown in this section does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on gains resulting from redemption or sale of Fund shares.
The returns shown are based on NAVs calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the financial highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the NAVs in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2024 – $0 |

(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
Pursuant to the Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter and written policies and procedures for the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services (the “Pre-approval Policy”), the Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and non-audit services performed by the Registrant’s independent public registered accounting firm for the Registrant. In addition, the Audit Committee pre-approves the auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any Service Affiliate in accordance with paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Proposed services may be pre-approved either 1) without consideration of specific case-by-case services or 2) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Therefore, initially the Pre-approval Policy listed a number of audit and non-audit services that have been approved by the Audit Committee, or which were not subject to pre-approval under the transition provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
“Pre-approval List”). The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services included on the Pre-approval List that may be provided by the independent public registered accounting firm without obtaining additional specific pre-approval of individual services from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee adds to, or subtracts from, the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. All other audit and non-audit services not on the Pre-approval List must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
One or more members of the Audit Committee may be appointed as the Committee’s delegate for the purposes of considering whether to approve such services. Any pre-approvals granted by the delegate will be reported, for informational purposes only, to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent public registered accounting firm are not delegated to management.
(2) Disclose the percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) If greater than 50 percent, disclose the percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
Not applicable - Less than 50%.
(g) Disclose the aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant.
The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the independent registered public accounting firm for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to Service Affiliates, for the last two calendar year ends were:
|
2023 - $35.0 million |
2022 - $31.6 million |
(h) Disclose whether the registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining the independent public registered accounting firm’s independence. All services provided by the independent public registered accounting firm to the Registrant or to Service Affiliates that were required to be pre-approved were pre-approved as required.
(i) A registrant identified by the Commission pursuant to Section 104(i)(2)(A) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214(i)(2)(A)), as having retained, for the preparation of the audit report on its financial statements included in the Form NCSR, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction must electronically submit to the Commission on a supplemental basis documentation that establishes that the registrant is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in the foreign jurisdiction. The registrant must submit this documentation on or before the due date for this form. A registrant that is owned or controlled by a foreign governmental entity is not required to submit such documentation.
Not applicable.
(j) A registrant that is a foreign issuer, as defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-4, identified by the Commission pursuant to Section 104(i)(2)(A) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7214(i)(2)(A)), as having retained, for the preparation of the audit report on its financial statements included in the Form N-CSR, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction, for each year in which the registrant is so identified, must
provide the below disclosures. Also, any such identified foreign issuer that uses a variable-interest entity or any similar structure that results in additional foreign entities being consolidated in the financial statements of the registrant is required to provide the below disclosures for itself and its consolidated foreign operating entity or entities. A registrant must disclose:
| (1) | That, for the immediately preceding annual financial statement period, a registered public accounting firm that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely, because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction, issued an audit report for the registrant; |
| (2) | The percentage of shares of the registrant owned by governmental entities in the foreign jurisdiction in which the registrant is incorporated or otherwise organized; |
| (3) | Whether governmental entities in the applicable foreign jurisdiction with respect to that registered public accounting firm have a controlling financial interest with respect to the registrant; |
| (4) | The name of each official of the Chinese Communist Party who is a member of the board of directors of the registrant or the operating entity with respect to the registrant; and |
| (5) | Whether the articles of incorporation of the registrant (or equivalent organizing document) contains any charter of the Chinese Communist Party, including the text of any such charter. |
Not applicable.

If the registrant has such a committee, however designated, identify each committee member. If the entire board of directors is acting as the registrant’s audit committee as specified in Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(B)), so state.
(b) If applicable, provide the disclosure required by Rule 10A-3(d) under the Exchange Act (17CFR 240.10A-3(d)) regarding an exemption from the listing standards for all audit committees.
Not applicable.

CONTENTS
Investments in a 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 if you sell when a Fund’s share price is lower than when you invested.
Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. The general market views expressed in this report are opinions based on market and other conditions through the end of the reporting period and are subject to change without notice. These views are not intended to predict the future performance of a Fund or the securities markets.
Prospective investors should refer to the Funds’ prospectuses for a discussion of the Funds’ investment objectives, strategies and risks. Call J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds at (844) 457-6383 for a prospectus containing more complete information about a Fund, including management fees and other expenses. Please read it carefully before investing.
Shares are bought and sold throughout the day on an exchange at market price (not at net asset value) through a brokerage account, and are not individually subscribed and redeemed from a Fund. Shares may only be subscribed and redeemed directly from a Fund by Authorized Participants, in very large creation/redemption units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

| Annualized for periods less than one year, unless otherwise noted. |
| Calculated based upon average shares outstanding. |
| Not annualized for periods less than one year. |
| Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset values for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns for shareholder transactions. |
| Market price return was calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market price at the beginning of the reporting period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at the market price during the period, and sale at the market price on the last day of the period. The closing price was used to calculate the market price return. |
| Commencement of operations. |
| Since the shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until the day after the Fund’s inception, for the period from the inception to the first day of secondary market trading, the net asset value is used as a proxy for the secondary market trading price to calculate the market returns. |
| Calculation of the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) per share does not correlate with the Fund’s net realized and unrealized gains (losses) presented in the Statements of Operations due to the timing of capital transactions in relation to the fluctuating market values of the Fund’s investments. |
| Per Share amounts reflect the conversion of the JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF (the “Fund”) acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund (“Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization that occurred as of the close of business on May 6, 2022. See Note 1. |
| JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF (the “Fund”) acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund (“Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization that occurred as of the close of business on May 6, 2022. Performance and financial history of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 Shares have been adopted by the Fund and will be used going forward. As a result, the financial highlight information reflects that of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R6 Shares for the period July 1, 2019 up through the reorganization. |
| JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Index Fund (“Predecessor Fund”) in a reorganization on May 6, 2022. Market price returns are calculated using the official closing price of the JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF on the listing exchange as of the time that the JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF's NAV is calculated. Prior to the JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF's listing on May 9, 2022, the NAV performance of the Class R6 and the Class I Shares of the Predecessor Fund are used as proxy market price returns. |

The following are 7 separate funds of the Trust (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") covered by this report:
| Diversification Classification |
JPMorgan Active Growth ETF | |
JPMorgan Active Small Cap Value ETF | |
JPMorgan Active Value ETF | |
JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF | |
JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF | |
JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF | |
JPMorgan U.S. Tech Leaders ETF(1) | |
|
| Commencement of operations was October 4, 2023. |
The investment objective of JPMorgan Active Growth ETF ("Active Growth ETF"), JPMorgan Active Small Cap Value ETF ("Active Small Cap Value ETF"), JPMorgan Active Value ETF ("Active Value ETF") and JPMorgan U.S. Tech Leaders ETF ("U.S. Tech Leaders ETF") is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF ("Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF") is to seek to provide investment results that correspond to or incrementally exceed the total return performance of an index that tracks the performance of the small- and mid- capitalization equity markets.
The investment objective of JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF ("Equity Premium Income ETF") and JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF ("Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF") is to seek current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as adviser (the “Adviser”) and administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Funds.
Shares of each Fund are listed and traded at market price on an exchange as follows:
| |
| |
Active Small Cap Value ETF | |
| |
Equity Premium Income ETF | |
Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF | |
Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF | The NASDAQ Stock Market® LLC |
| The NASDAQ Stock Market® LLC |
Market prices for the Funds’ shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”).
The Funds issue and redeem their shares on a continuous basis, through JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, at NAV in large blocks of shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities and/or cash. A cash amount may be substituted if a Fund has sizable exposure to market or sponsor restricted securities. Shares are generally traded in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only individuals or institutions that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the Distributor may do business directly with the Funds (each, an “Authorized Participant”).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i)
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments— Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Funds' valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board"), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Board is required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Board may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Board has designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations for the Funds on behalf of the Board subject to appropriate oversight by the Board. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Funds. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
Fixed income instruments are valued based on prices received from approved affiliated and unaffiliated pricing vendors or third party broker-dealers (collectively referred to as “Pricing Services”). The Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine the valuation of fixed income instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which trades or quotes from market makers are used to determine the valuation of these instruments. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist, the Pricing Services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values.
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the NAV of the Funds are calculated on a valuation date.
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Futures contracts are generally valued on the basis of available market quotations.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Funds’ investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
•
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as level 2.

B. Restricted Securities— Certain securities held by the Funds may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the NAVs of the Funds.
As of June 30, 2024, the Funds had no investments in restricted securities other than securities sold to the Funds under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. Securities Lending — The Funds are authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Funds are able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Funds retain the interest earned on cash collateral investments but are required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Funds). Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOIs.
The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Funds may incur losses that exceed the amount they earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF June 30, 2024 (continued)
The following table presents for each lending Fund, the value of the securities on loan with Citibank, net of amounts available for offset under the master netting arrangements and any related collateral received or posted by the Funds as of June 30, 2024.

| Collateral posted reflects the value of securities on loan and does not include any additional amounts received from the borrower. |
| Subsequent to June 30, 2024, additional collateral was received. |
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
JPMIM voluntarily waived management fees charged to the Funds to reduce the impact of the cash collateral investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund from 0.13% to 0.06%. For the year ended June 30, 2024, JPMIM waived fees associated with the Funds' investment in the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund as follows:
Active Small Cap Value ETF | |
| |
Equity Premium Income ETF | |
Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF | |
Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF | |
| |
The above waiver is included in the determination of earnings on cash collateral investment and in the calculation of Citibank’s compensation and is included on the Statements of Operations as Income from securities lending (net).
Active Small Cap Value ETF, Equity Premium Income ETF, Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF and U.S. Tech Leaders ETF did not have any securities on loan at June 30, 2024.
Active Growth ETF did not lend out any securities during the year ended June 30, 2024.
D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates— The Funds invested in Underlying Funds advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with a Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Funds assume the issuers listed in the tables below to be affiliated issuers. The Underlying Funds’ distributions may be reinvested into such Underlying Funds. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the tables below.

E. Futures Contracts— Equity Premium Income ETF, Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF and Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF used index futures contracts to manage and hedge equity price risk associated with portfolio investments. The Funds also purchased futures contracts to invest incoming cash in the market or sold futures in response to cash outflows, thereby simulating an invested position in the underlying index while maintaining a cash balance for liquidity.
Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or are settled for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported on the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of the futures contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the SOIs, while cash deposited, which is considered restricted, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A receivable from and/or a payable to brokers for the daily variation margin is also recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF June 30, 2024 (continued)
The use of futures contracts exposes the Funds to equity price risk. The Funds may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional amount of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. The Funds may enter into futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade. The exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to each futures transaction; therefore, the Funds' credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of positions.
The Funds' futures contracts are not subject to master netting arrangements (the right to close out all transactions traded with a counterparty and net amounts owed or due across transactions).
The table below discloses the volume of the Funds' futures contracts activity during the year ended June 30, 2024:
| | Market
Expansion
Enhanced
Equity ETF | Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF |
| | | |
Average Notional Balance Long | | | |
Average Notional Balance Short | | | |
Ending Notional Balance Long | | | |

F. Equity-Linked Notes— Equity Premium Income ETF and Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF invested in Equity-Linked Notes (“ELNs”). These are hybrid instruments which combine both debt and equity characteristics into a single note form. ELNs' values are linked to the performance of an underlying index. ELNs are unsecured debt obligations of an issuer and may not be publicly listed or traded on an exchange. ELNs are valued daily, under procedures adopted by the Board, based on values provided by an approved pricing source. These notes have a coupon which is accrued and recorded as Interest income from non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations. Changes in the market value of ELNs are recorded as Change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. A Fund realizes a gain or loss when an ELN is sold or matures, which is recorded as Net realized gain (loss) on transactions from investments in non-affiliates on the Statements of Operations.
As of June 30, 2024, Equity Premium Income ETF and Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF had outstanding ELNs as listed on the SOIs.
G. Security Transactions and Investment Income— Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method, which adjusts for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Funds record distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently their net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
H. Federal Income Taxes— Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Funds' tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of June 30, 2024, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. Each Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
I. Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least monthly for Equity Premium Income ETF and Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF, at least annually for Active Growth ETF, Active Small Cap Value ETF, Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF and U.S. Tech Leaders ETF, and at least quarterly for Active Value ETF. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:
| | Accumulated
undistributed
(distributions in
excess of)
net investment
income | Accumulated
net realized
gains (losses) |
| | | |
Active Small Cap Value ETF | | | |
| | | |
Equity Premium Income ETF | | | |
Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF | | | |
Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF | | | |
| | | |
The reclassifications for the Funds relate primarily to tax adjustments on certain investments and redemptions in-kind.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Management Fee—JPMIM manages the investments of each Fund. For each Fund other than Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF, the investments are managed pursuant to a Management Agreement, under which JPMIM is responsible for substantially all of each Fund’s expenses as described below. JPMIM also manages the investments of Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement. For such services, JPMIM is paid a fee which is accrued daily and paid no more frequently than monthly based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets at the following rate:
| |
| |
Active Small Cap Value ETF | |
| |
Equity Premium Income ETF | |
Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF | |
Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF | |
| |
Under Management Agreement applicable to each Fund except Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF, JPMIM is responsible for substantially all expenses of each Fund, (including expenses of the Trust relating to each Fund), except for the management fees, payments under the Funds' 12b-1 plan (if any), interest expenses, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses (other than fees for funds advised by the Adviser and/or its affiliates), costs of holding shareholder meetings, and litigation and potential litigation and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of each Fund’s business. Additionally, each Fund is responsible for its non-operating expenses, including brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s securities lending program, if applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Adviser’s payment of such expenses may be accomplished through a Fund’s payment of such expenses and a corresponding reduction in
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF June 30, 2024 (continued)
the fee payable to the Adviser, provided, however, that if the amount of expenses paid by a Fund exceeds the fee payable to the Adviser, the Adviser will reimburse that Fund for such amount.
B. Administration Fee— JPMIM provides administration services to the Funds. Pursuant to each Management Agreement, JPMIM is compensated as described in Note 3.A.
Pursuant to a separate Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF's average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of the Fund’s average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.010% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion.

6. Capital Share Transactions
The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Funds only in Creation Units through the Distributor at NAV. Capital shares transactions detail can be found in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. Such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Funds' shares outstanding and act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF June 30, 2024 (continued)
on behalf of the Funds. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”); or (2) a DTC Participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor.
Creation Units of a Fund may be created in advance of receipt by the Trust of all or a portion of the applicable basket of equity securities and other instruments (“Deposit Instruments”) and cash as described in the Funds' registration statement. In these instances, the initial Deposit Instruments and cash must be deposited in an amount equal to the sum of the cash amount plus at least 105% for the Funds of the market value of undelivered Deposit Instruments. A transaction fee may be imposed to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or redemption of Creation Units.
Authorized Participants transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay a variable fee to compensate the relevant fund for market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable fees, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares issued” in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Effective November 1, 2022, the Funds rely upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Funds to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Funds because the Funds and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the year ended June 30, 2024.
The Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Funds. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to each Fund's borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 29, 2024.
The Funds had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended June 30, 2024.
Effective August 8, 2023, the Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has entered into an existing joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. Although the Trust is effectively part of the Credit Facility as of August 8, 2023, it was not eligible to draw on the Credit Facility, and did not incur costs associated with being a part of the Credit Facility.
This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00%, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or the one-month Adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
The Funds did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended June 30, 2024.
Effective May 31, 2024, the Funds are no longer part of the Credit Facility.
8. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against each Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
As of June 30, 2024, J.P. Morgan Investor Funds, which are affiliated fund of funds, each owned in the aggregate, shares representing more than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows:
| |
Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF | |
Significant shareholder transactions by the Adviser may impact the Funds' performance.
As of June 30, 2024, the Adviser owned shares representing more than 10% of net assets of the following Funds:
| |
Active Small Cap Value ETF | |
Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in Shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to the NAV or to the intraday value of the Funds’ holdings. During such periods, investors may incur significant losses if shares are sold.
Equity Premium Income ETF's and Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF's investments in ELNs entail varying degrees of risks. The Funds are subject to loss of their full principal amount. In addition, the ELNs are subject to a stated maximum return which may limit the payment at maturity. The Funds may also be exposed to additional risks associated with structured notes including: counterparty credit risk related to the issuer’s ability to make payment at maturity; liquidity risk related to a lack of liquid market for these notes, preventing the Funds from trading or selling the notes easily; and a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk associated with the underlying financial instruments.
The Funds are subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The effects of any future pandemic or other global event to public health and business and market conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the performance of a Fund's investments, increase a Fund's volatility, negatively impact a Fund’s arbitrage and pricing mechanisms, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Funds, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic or other global event that affect the instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on a Fund’s investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic or other global event and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact a Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.
On August 22, 2024, the Board approved a change to the name of Market Expansion Enhanced Equity ETF to JPMorgan Small & Mid Cap Enhanced Equity ETF, which will become effective on September 30, 2024.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF June 30, 2024
1. Organization
J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Fund Trust (the “Trust”) was formed on February 25, 2010, and is governed by a Declaration of Trust as amended and restated February 19, 2014, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. JPMorgan Equity Focus ETF (the “Fund”) is a separate diversified series of the Trust covered in this report.
As of the close of business on July 28, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation previously approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), JPMorgan Equity Focus Fund (a mutual fund) (the “Acquired Fund” or “Equity Focus Fund”), a series of JPMorgan Trust I, was reorganized (the "Reorganization") into the Fund, a newly created exchange-traded fund. Following the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund’s performance (Class R6 Shares) and financial history were adopted by the Fund. In connection with the Reorganization, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund (except as noted below) received shares of the Fund equal in value to the number of shares of the Acquired Fund they owned on the Closing Date, including a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of the Fund, which cash payment might have been taxable. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund who did not hold their shares through a brokerage account that could accept shares of the Fund on the Closing Date had their Acquired Fund shares liquidated, and such shareholders received cash equal in value to their Acquired Fund shares, which cash payment might have been taxable. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund who held their shares through a fund direct individual retirement account and did not take action prior to the Reorganization had their Acquired Fund shares exchanged for Morgan Shares of JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund equal in value to their Acquired Fund shares. The Fund has the same investment adviser, investment objective and fundamental investment policies and substantially similar investment strategies as the Acquired Fund. Effective as of the close of business on the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund ceased operations in connection with the consummation of the Reorganization.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan”), acts as adviser (the “Adviser”) and administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Fund.
Costs incurred by the Fund and the Acquired Fund associated with the Reorganization (including the legal costs associated with the Reorganization) were borne by the Adviser by waiving fees or reimbursing expenses to offset the costs incurred by the Fund and Acquired Fund associated with the Reorganization, including any brokerage fees and expenses incurred by the Fund and Acquired Fund related to the disposition and acquisition of assets as part of a Reorganization. Brokerage fees and expenses related to the disposition and acquisition of assets (including any disposition to raise cash to pay redemption proceeds) that were incurred in the ordinary course of business were borne by the Fund and the Acquired Fund. The management fee of the Fund is the same as the management fee of the Acquired Fund. The total annual fund operating expenses of the Fund are expected to be lower than the net expenses of each share class of the Acquired Fund after taking into consideration the expense limitation agreement the Adviser has entered into with the Fund for a term ending on July 31, 2026. The Reorganization did not result in the material change to the Acquired Fund's portfolio holdings. There are no material differences in accounting policies of the Acquired Fund as compared to those of the Fund.
The Fund did not purchase or sell securities following the Reorganization for purposes of realigning its investment portfolio. Accordingly, the Reorganization of the Acquired Fund did not affect the Fund’s portfolio turnover ratio for the year ended June 30, 2024.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long term capital appreciation.
Shares of the Fund are listed and traded at market price on The NASDAQ Stock Market® LLC. Market prices for the Fund’s shares may be different from its net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems its shares on a continuous basis, through JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc. (the “Distributor” or “JPMDS”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, at NAV in large blocks of shares, referred to as “Creation Units". Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities and/or cash. Shares are generally traded in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Only individuals or institutions that have entered into an authorized participant agreement with the Distributor may do business directly with the Fund (each, an “Authorized Participant”).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 — Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Valuation of Investments— Investments are valued in accordance with GAAP and the Fund's valuation policies set forth by, and under the supervision and responsibility of, the Board, which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below: (i) investments for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at their market value and (ii) all other investments for which market quotations are not readily available shall be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board.
Under Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Board is required to determine fair value for securities that do not have readily available market quotations. Under SEC Rule 2a-5 (Good Faith Determinations of Fair Value), the Board may designate the performance of these fair valuation determinations to a valuation designee. The Board has designated the Adviser as the “Valuation Designee” to perform fair valuation determinations
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
for the Fund on behalf of the Board subject to appropriate oversight by the Board. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, leverages the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Americas Valuation Committee (“AVC”) to help oversee and carry out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, remains responsible for the valuation determinations.
This oversight by the AVC includes monitoring the appropriateness of fair values based on results of ongoing valuation oversight including, but not limited to, consideration of macro or security specific events, market events, and pricing vendor and broker due diligence. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and, at least on a quarterly basis, with the AVC and the Board.
Equities and other exchange-traded instruments are valued at the last sale price or official market closing price on the primary exchange on which the instrument is traded before the NAV of the Fund is calculated on a valuation date.
Investments in open-end investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.
Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer-related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.
The various inputs that are used in determining the valuation of the Fund's investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.
•
Level 1 — Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
•
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for investments (such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs.
•
Level 3 — Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input, both individually and in the aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.
The following table represents each valuation input as presented on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments ("SOI"):
| | | | |
| | Level 2
Other significant
observable inputs | Level 3
Significant
unobservable inputs | |
Total Investments in Securities (a) | | | | |
|
| Please refer to the SOI for specifics of portfolio holdings. |
B. Restricted Securities— Certain securities held by the Fund may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Restricted securities generally are resold in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense. Prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult and could adversely affect the NAV of the Fund.
As of June 30, 2024, the Fund had no investments in restricted securities including securities sold to the Fund under Rule 144A and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.
C. Securities Lending — The Fund is authorized to engage in securities lending in order to generate additional income. The Fund is able to lend to approved borrowers. Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) serves as lending agent for the Fund, pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agency Agreement”). Securities loaned are collateralized by cash equal to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities lent, which is invested in the Class IM Shares of the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund and the Agency SL Class Shares of the JPMorgan Securities Lending Money Market Fund. The Fund retains the interest earned on cash collateral investments but is required to pay the borrower a rebate for the use of the cash collateral. In cases where the lent security is of high value to borrowers, there may be a negative rebate (i.e., a net payment from the borrower to the Fund). Upon termination of a loan, the Fund is required to return to the borrower an amount equal to the cash collateral, plus any rebate owed to the borrowers. The remaining maturities of the securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time.
The net income earned on the securities lending (after payment of rebates and Citibank’s fee) is included on the Statement of Operations as Income from securities lending (net). The Fund also receives payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statement of Operations.
Under the Securities Lending Agency Agreement, Citibank marks to market the loaned securities on a daily basis. In the event the cash received from the borrower is less than 102% of the value of the loaned securities (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), Citibank requests additional cash from
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF June 30, 2024 (continued)
the borrower so as to maintain a collateralization level of at least 102% of the value of the loaned securities plus accrued interest (105% for loans of non-U.S. securities), subject to certain de minimis amounts.
The value of securities out on loan is recorded as an asset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the cash collateral received is recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and details of collateral investments are disclosed on the SOI.
The Fund bears the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and is not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, the Fund may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Adviser does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability. Securities lending activity is subject to master netting arrangements.
Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, Citibank has agreed to indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security.
The Fund did not lend out any securities during the year ended June 30, 2024.
D. Investment Transactions with Affiliates— The Fund invested in an Underlying Fund advised by the Adviser. An issuer which is under common control with the Fund may be considered an affiliate. For the purposes of the financial statements, the Fund assumes the issuer listed in the table below to be an affiliated issuer. The Underlying Fund's distributions may be reinvested into the Underlying Fund. Reinvestment amounts are included in the purchases at cost amounts in the table below.

| The rate shown is the current yield as of June 30, 2024. |
| Following the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund's performance and financial history were adopted by the Fund. The table includes transactions from the Acquired Fund for the period July 1, 2023 through July 28, 2023. |
E. Security Transactions and Investment Income— Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis.
Dividend income, net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the dividend.
To the extent such information is publicly available, the Fund records distributions received in excess of income earned from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Fund adjusts the estimated amounts of the components of distributions (and consequently its net investment income) as necessary, once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
F. Allocation of Income and Expenses— Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while the expenses attributable to more than one fund of the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds.
Transfer agency fees charged to the Acquired Fund were class-specific expenses. The amount of the transfer agency fees charged to each share class of the Acquired Fund for the period July 1, 2023 through Closing Date for for the Fund were as follows:
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
G. Federal Income Taxes— The Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders all of its distributable net investment income and net realized capital gains on investments. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income tax is necessary. Management has reviewed the Fund's tax positions for all open tax years and has determined that as of June 30, 2024, no liability for Federal income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements for net unrecognized tax benefits. However, management’s conclusions may be subject to future review based on changes in, or the interpretation of, the accounting standards or tax laws and regulations. The Fund's Federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
H. Distributions to Shareholders— Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid at least annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax basis treatment.
The following amounts were reclassified within the capital accounts:
| | Accumulated
undistributed
(distributions in
excess of)
net investment
income | Accumulated
net realized
gains (losses) |
| | | |
The reclassifications for the Fund relate primarily to redemptions in-kind.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
A. Investment Advisory Fee— Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investments of the Fund and for such services is paid a fee. The investment advisory fee is accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
B. Administration Fee— Pursuant to an Administration Agreement, the Administrator provides certain administration services to the Fund. In consideration of these services, the Administrator receives a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.075% of the first $10 billion of the Fund's average daily net assets, plus 0.050% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $10 billion and $20 billion, plus 0.025% of the Fund's average daily net assets between $20 billion and $25 billion, plus 0.010% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $25 billion. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the effective rate was 0.075% of the Fund's average daily net assets, notwithstanding any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.
The Administrator waived administration fees as outlined in Note 3.G.
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, serves as the Fund's sub-administrator (the “Sub-administrator”). For its services as Sub-administrator, JPMCB receives a portion of the administration fees payable to JPMIM.
C. Distribution Fees— Up through the Closing Date, pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Trust (the "Distribution Agreement"), JPMDS, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan, served as the Acquired Fund's principal underwriter and promoted and arranged for the sale of the Acquired Fund's shares.
Up through the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund's Board had adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Distribution Plan”) for Class A and Class C Shares of the Acquired Fund, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Class I and Class R6 Shares of the Acquired Fund did not charge a distribution fee. The Distribution Plan provided that the Acquired Fund shall pay, with respect to the applicable share classes, distribution fees, including payments to JPMDS, at annual rates of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
For the period July 1, 2023 through the Closing Date, JPMDS waived its distribution fee for the Acquired Fund.
In addition, up through the Closing Date, JPMDS was entitled to receive the front-end sales charges from purchases of Class A Shares and the contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from redemptions of Class C Shares and certain Class A Shares of the Acquired Fund for which front-end sales charges have been waived. For the period July 1, 2023 through the Closing Date, JPMDS did not retain any front-end sales charges or CDSCs.
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAS OF June 30, 2024 (continued)
D. Service Fees— Up through the Closing Date, JPMorgan Trust I, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, had entered into a Shareholder Servicing Agreement with JPMDS under which JPMDS provided certain support services to fund shareholders. For performing these services, JPMDS received a fee with respect to all share classes of the Acquired Fund, except Class R6 Shares which did not charge a service fee, that was accrued daily and paid monthly equal to a percentage of the average daily net assets as shown in the table below:
Prior to the Closing Date, JPMDS had entered into shareholder services contracts with affiliated and unaffiliated financial intermediaries who provide shareholder services and other related services to their clients or customers who invested in the Acquired Fund. Pursuant to such contracts, JPMDS paid all or a portion of such fees earned to financial intermediaries for performing such services.
JPMDS waived service fees as outlined in Note 3.G.
E. Custodian, Accounting and Transfer Agent Fees— JPMCB provides portfolio custody, accounting and transfer agency services (effective as of the Closing Date) to the Fund. For performing these services, the Fund pays JPMCB transaction and asset-based fees that vary according to the number of transactions and positions, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for custody and accounting services are included in Custodian and accounting fees on the Statement of Operations. The amounts paid directly to JPMCB by the Fund for transfer agency services are included in Transfer agency fees on the Statement of Operations.
Additionally, Authorized Participants generally pay transaction fees associated with the creation and redemption of Fund shares. These fees are used to offset certain custodian charges incurred by the Fund for these transactions.
Interest income earned on cash balances at the custodian, if any, is included in Interest income from affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
Interest expense paid to the custodian related to cash overdrafts, if any, is included in Interest expense to affiliates on the Statement of Operations.
F. Distribution Services— The Distributor or its agent distributes Creation Units for the Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Fund. JPMDS receives no fees for their distribution services under the Distribution Agreement. Although the Trust does not pay any fees under the Distribution Agreement, JPMIM pays JPMDS for certain distribution related services.
G. Waivers and Reimbursements—The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
The expense limitation agreement was in effect from the Closing Date through June 30, 2024, and the contractual expense limitation is in place until at least July 31, 2026.
Prior to the Closing Date, the Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses other than certain money market fund fees as described below, dividend and interest expenses related to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, expenses related to trustee elections and extraordinary expenses) exceed the percentages of the Fund's respective average daily net assets as shown in the table below:

Additionally, the Fund may invest in one or more money market funds advised by the Adviser (affiliated money market funds). The Adviser, Administrator and/or JPMDS, as shareholder servicing agent, have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in an amount sufficient to offset the respective net fees each collects from the affiliated money market fund on the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund, except for investments of securities lending cash collateral.

The amount of these waivers resulting from investments in these money market funds for the year ended June 30, 2024 was $7,896.
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
JPMIM voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Fund for the Trustee Fees paid to one of the interested Trustees. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the amount of this reimbursement was $133.
H. Other— Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser, the Administrator and JPMDS. Such officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, receive no compensation from the Fund for serving in their respective roles.
The Board designated and appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Fund, along with certain other affiliated funds, makes reimbursement payments, on a pro-rata basis, to the Administrator for a portion of the fees associated with the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Such fees are included in Trustees’ and Chief Compliance Officer’s fees on the Statement of Operations.
The Trust adopted a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) which allows the independent Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of compensation related to performance of their duties as Trustees. The deferred fees are invested in various J.P. Morgan Funds until distribution in accordance with the Plan.
The Fund used related party broker-dealers during the year ended June 30, 2024, and incurred brokerage commissions with broker-dealers affiliated with the Adviser in the amount of $3.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has granted an exemptive order permitting the Fund to engage in principal transactions with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, an affiliated broker, involving taxable money market instruments, subject to certain conditions.

| | Gross

During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows:
6. Capital Share Transactions
The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Fund only in Creation Units through the Distributor at NAV. Capital shares transactions detail can be found in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. Such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Fund's shares outstanding and act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Fund. An Authorized Participant is either (1) a “Participating Party” or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”); or (2) a DTC Participant; which, in either case, must have executed an agreement with the Distributor.
Creation Units of the Fund may be created in advance of receipt by the Trust of all or a portion of the applicable basket of equity securities and other instruments (“Deposit Instruments”) and cash as described in the Fund's registration statement. In these instances, the initial Deposit Instruments and cash must be deposited in an amount equal to the sum of the cash amount, plus at least 105% for the Fund of the market value of undelivered Deposit Instruments. A transaction fee may be imposed to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or redemption of Creation Units.
Effective November 1, 2022, the Fund relies upon an exemptive order granted by the SEC (the “Order”) permitting the establishment and operation of an Interfund Lending Facility (the “Facility”). The Facility allows the Fund to directly lend and borrow money to or from any other fund relying upon the Order at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Advances under the Facility are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund's borrowing restrictions. The interfund loan rate is determined, as specified in the Order, by averaging the current repurchase
| J.P. Morgan Exchange-Traded Funds | |
agreement rate and the current bank loan rate. The Order was granted to JPMorgan Trust II and may be relied upon by the Fund because the Fund and the series of JPMorgan Trust II are all investment companies in the same “group of investment companies” (as defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act).
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from another fund, or loans outstanding to another fund, during the year ended June 30, 2024.
The Trust and JPMCB have entered into a financing arrangement. Under this arrangement, JPMCB provides an unsecured, uncommitted credit facility in the aggregate amount of $100 million to certain of the J.P. Morgan Funds, including the Fund. Advances under the arrangement are taken primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities, and are subject to the Fund's borrowing restrictions. Interest on borrowings is payable at a rate determined by JPMCB at the time of borrowing. This agreement has been extended until October 29, 2024.
The Fund had no borrowings outstanding from the unsecured, uncommitted credit facility during the year ended June 30, 2024.
Effective August 8, 2023, the Trust, along with certain other trusts for J.P. Morgan Funds (“Borrowers”), has entered into an existing joint syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility totaling $1.5 billion (“Credit Facility”) with various lenders and The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent for the lenders. Although the Trust is effectively part of the Credit Facility as of August 8, 2023, it was not eligible to draw on the Credit Facility, and did not incur costs associated with being a part of the Credit Facility.
This Credit Facility provides a source of funds to the Borrowers for temporary and emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, a borrowing fund must have a minimum of $25 million in adjusted net asset value and not exceed certain adjusted net asset coverage ratios prior to and during the time in which any borrowings are outstanding. If a fund does not comply with the aforementioned requirements, the fund must remediate within three business days with respect to the $25 million minimum adjusted net asset value or within one business day with respect to certain asset coverage ratios or the administrative agent at the request of, or with the consent of, the lenders may terminate the Credit Facility and declare any outstanding borrowings to be due and payable immediately.
Interest associated with any borrowing under the Credit Facility is charged to the borrowing fund at a rate of interest equal to 1.00%, plus the greater of the federal funds effective rate or the one-month Adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
The Fund did not utilize the Credit Facility during the year ended June 30, 2024.
Effective May 31, 2024, the Fund is no longer part of the Credit Facility.
8. Risks, Concentrations and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The amount of exposure would depend on future claims that may be brought against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of significant market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for the shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in shares trading significantly above (at a premium) or below (at a discount) to the NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund's holdings. During such periods, investors may incur significant losses if shares are sold.
The Fund is subject to infectious disease epidemics/pandemics risk. The effects of any future pandemic or other global event to public health and business and market conditions, may have a significant negative impact on the performance of the Fund's investments, increase the Fund's volatility, exacerbate pre-existing political, social and economic risks to the Fund, and negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations. In addition, governments, their regulatory agencies, or self-regulatory organizations have taken or may take actions in response to a pandemic or other global event that affect the instruments in which the Fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that could have a significant negative impact on the Fund's investment performance. The ultimate impact of any pandemic or other global event and the extent to which the associated conditions and governmental responses impact the Fund will also depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, difficult to accurately predict and subject to frequent changes.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2024, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2024 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended June 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2024 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
