Seeking opportunities for consistent income with lower volatility
A rising interest rate environment is prompting investors to rethink their approach to generating income. But market volatility and persistent inflation bring a new set of challenges.
JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) seeks to deliver monthly distributable income and equity market exposure with lower volatility1.
Equity exposure with lower volatility2
JEPI employs a proven bottom-up research process as it seeks defensive equity exposure, with stock selection based on our proprietary risk-adjusted stock ranks.
A disciplined overlay uses call options to generate distributable monthly income. The option premium generated can vary depending on market volatility.
Seeking income as the outcome
With JEPI, we seek to pay out all the income the portfolio makes on a monthly basis, net of fees. Income is derived from both dividend and options premium – an innovative approach that aims to produce a consistent monthly income stream, although this is not guaranteed.
Replacing exposure to duration and credit risk
Aggressive central bank tightening to combat inflation at multi-decade highs has generated significant volatility within bond markets. Meanwhile, the weakening growth outlook and possible recession in Europe and the U.S. could see the value of corporate high yield and emerging market debt drop significantly.
As a part of an overall allocation, JEPI can provide opportunities for income diversification and complements a balanced portfolio by reducing exposure to asset classes that may be more prone to credit, duration or interest rate risks.
1 The fund seeks to meet its stated objectives, there is no guarantee they will be met.
2 Risk management does not imply elimination of risks. Provided to illustrate the investment process. Dividend or returns are not guaranteed. Please refer to offering documents for details on distribution policy. Diversification does not guarantee positive returns or eliminate risks of loss.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek current income while maintaining prospects for capital appreciation.
This product is likely to be appropriate for a consumer seeking capital growth and regular income, to be used as a satellite/small allocation within a portfolio where the consumer has a high risk-return profile and needs daily access to capital. The minimum suggested timeframe for holding investments in the Fund is 5 years.

*Additional information regarding Equity-Linked Note (ELN) investments.*
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.
Holdings are subject to change. 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. 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.
