J.P. Morgan High Yield ETF Volatility Target Index 3% Performance Update - August 2015 OVERVIEW The J.P. Morgan High Yield ETF Volatility Index 3% (ticker: JPUSHY3E) is a notional dynamic strategy that tracks the return of an exchange-traded fund (the High Yield Constituent) in excess of a synthetic borrowing cost component accruing interest at the 3-month USD LIBOR, while targeting a specific volatility on a daily basis, less a fee of 1.00% per annum, that accrues daily. The High Yield Constituent is currently the PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index Exchange-Traded Fund, which seeks to provide total return that corresponds, before fees and expenses, to the total return of BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year US High Yield Constrained Index. The High Yield Volatility Index targets an annualized volatility of 3% on a daily basis by dynamically adjusting its exposure to the High Yield Constituent based on the historical volatility of the High Yield Constituent.

For purposes of these examples, each index was set equal to 100 at the beginning of the relevant measurement period and returns are calculated arithmetically (not compounded). There is no guarantee the High Yield ETF Volatility Target Index 3% will outperform the PIMCO 0-5 year High Yield Corporate Bond Index ETF (Excess Return), the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return) or any alternative investment strategy. Sources: Bloomberg and JPMorgan. PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index ETF (Excess Return) represents a hypothetical index constructed from the total returns of the PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index ETF with the returns of the Cash Index deducted. Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return) represents a hypothetical index constructed from the returns of the Barclays Aggregate Index with the returns of the Cash Index deducted. Volatility: hypothetical, historical six-month annualized volatility levels are presented for informational purposes only. Volatility levels are calculated from the historical returns, as applicable to the relevant measurement period, of the ETF Efficiente, PIMCO 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond Index ETF (Excess Return), and the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return). Volatility represents the annualized standard deviation of the relevant index's arithmetic daily returns since February 16, 2012. The Sharpe Ratio, which is a measure of risk-adjusted performance, is computed as the ten year annualized historical return divided by the ten year annualized volatility. The back-tested, hypothetical, historical annualized volatility and index returns may use substitutes for any ETF that was not in existence or did not meet the liquidity standards at that particular time. The back-tested, hypothetical, historical annualized volatility and index returns have inherent limitations. These volatility and return results were achieved by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested volatility model designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that in the future the relevant indices will have the volatility shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and may prove to be more appropriate. Actual annualized volatilities and returns may vary materially from this analysis. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan. Cash Index: The JPMorgan Cash Index USD 3 Month (Ticker: JPCAUS3M Index) Excess Return: An "excess return" Index is an Index that reflects a return on a synthetic investment in underlying assets or portfolio of assets where the investment was made through the use of borrowing funds. In the case of the High Yield ETF Volatility Target Index 3%, the "excess return" is the level of the Index less the "Cash Index".
