1 Award source: ETF Express. For the issuer categories, the pre-selection data for the issuer shortlists was provided by Trackinsight. Candidates in all asset class categories and groupings were determined on the basis of the following criteria: All US ETFs that were listed before 6/1/22 and that have not closed at the date when processing the data were included. 1. For each category, all of an issuer’s ETFs in that specific asset class category or grouping were combined to give a total assets under management figure. 2. Within all categories, issuers with assets of below $100Mn were excluded (based on average assets during the period under review). 3. Shortlist nominations were based on the percentage change in the issuers’ assets under management in each category over a 12-month period from 5/31/22 to 6/1/23. 4. Where the universe in specific asset class categories permitted, issuers were also grouped by average asset thresholds such as $100Mn–1Bn, $1Bn–10Bn and $10Bn+.

Risk Summary: Investments in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to certain risks including prepayment and call risks, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield. During periods of difficult 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. 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. Under some circ*mstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress.
RISK SUMMARY FOR JEPI: The prices of equity securities are sensitive to a wide range of factors, from economic to company-specific news, and can fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably, causing an investment to decrease in value. International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations.
RISK SUMMARY FOR JEPQ: Risk Summary The price of equity securities may fluctuate rapidly or unpredictably due to factors affecting individual companies, as well as changes in economic or political conditions. These price movements may result in loss of your investment. Investments in Equity-Linked Notes (ELNs) are subject to liquidity risk, which may make ELNs difficult to sell and value. Lack of liquidity may also cause the value of the ELN to decline. Since ELNs are in note form, they are subject to certain debt securities risks, such as credit or counterparty risk. Should the prices of the underlying instruments move in an unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of an investment in an ELN, and may realize losses, which could be significant and could include the Fund's entire principal investment.
RISK SUMMARY FOR JPIE: Risk Summary Securities rated below investment grade are considered "high-yield," "non-investment grade," "below investment-grade," or "junk bonds." They generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. Although they can provide higher yields than higher rated securities, they can carry greater risk.
RISK SUMMARY FOR JCPB: Risk Summary The value of investments in mortgage-related and asset-backed securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. The securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. They are also subject to prepayment risk, which occurs when mortgage holders refinance or otherwise repay their loans sooner than expected, creating an early return of principal to holders of the loans.
RISK SUMMARY FOR JPST: Risk Summary Investments in asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities are subject to certain risks including prepayment and call risks, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividends and yield.
