At the discretion of the Management Company, the Fund, for each
Sub-Fund, may participate in a securities lending programme in
which securities are transferred temporarily to approved
borrowers in exchange for collateral (typically from 102% to 105%
of the value of the lent securities). The lending agent for the Fund,
JPMCB, receives a fee of 15% of the revenue for its services. JPMCB
is an affiliate of the Management Company. The remainder of the
revenue is received by the lending Sub-Funds i.e. to the benefit of
Shareholders. The revenue received by the Sub-Funds arising from
securities lending transactions is specified in the Fund’s semiannual
and annual reports.
