Equity Bottom-Up

Jpmorgan Japan Smaller Co Tr / Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
 <li>
Merger Creates a Dominant Force in Japanese Equities: JPMorgan Japan Smaller Companies Trust (JPS LN / JSGI) has merged with JPMorgan Japanese Investment Trust (JFJ LN) as of October 2024, creating the largest investment trust in the AIC Japan sector with approximately £1.2 billion in net assets. This increased scale is expected to enhance liquidity, broaden its appeal to larger investors, and result in a more competitive fee structure.</li>
 <li>
Sharpened Focus on All-Cap Growth Opportunities: The enlarged trust continues JFJ's all-cap strategy but with a sharpened focus on under-researched small- and mid-cap growth opportunities, leveraging the expertise from the former JSGI team. The investment philosophy centers on identifying high-quality, growth-oriented companies with durable competitive advantages and strong balance sheets, with an unconstrained, bottom-up approach.</li>
 <li>
Strong Performance and Positive Outlook: The trust has demonstrated strong performance, with a NAV total return of +25.0% for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, outperforming its TOPIX benchmark's +16.9% return. The outlook for Japanese equities is favorable, supported by ongoing corporate governance reforms, a shift from deflation, and attractive valuations, positioning the trust for future growth.</li>
