J.P. Morgan Efficiente Plus 5 Index (Net ER)
Performance Update - October 2015
OVERVIEW
The J.P.Morgan Efficiente Plus 5 Index (Net ER) (the "Index") is a J.P. Morgan
strategy that seeks to provide exposure to a range of asset classes and
geographic regions based on the modern portfolio theory approach to asset
allocation. The index utilizes the rapidly growing investment options available
with ETFs . The Index selects from a basket of 19 ETFs, 1 exchange-traded note
and a cash index ("the Basket Constituents"). The index targets an annualized
realized volatility of 5% by rebalancing monthly into the best performing
portfolio that has an historical realized volatility of less than or equal to
5% using a six-month look back period. The levels of the Index reflect the
performance of the Basket constituents above the cash index and incorporate the
daily deduction of a fee of 0.85% per annum.

Notes
Hypothetical, historical performance measures: Represents the performance of
the Index based on the hypothetical back-tested closing levels from November 1,
2007 through December 31, 2014 and actual performance from January 1, 2015 to
September 30, 2015, as well as the actual performance of the SandP 500 Index
(Excess Return) and the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return) over the
same periods.
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). The "SandP 500 Index (Excess Return)" and
"Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return)" refer to hypothetical indices
constructed from the total returns of the relevant index with the returns of
the Cash Index deducted. There is no guarantee the Efficiente Plus 5 Index will
outperform the SandP 500 Index (Excess Return), the Barclays Aggregate Bond
Index (Excess Return) or any alternative investment strategy. Sources:
Bloomberg and JPMorgan.
Correlation: the performance of the relevant index to the Efficiente Plus 5
Index, calculated based on the daily returns since November 1, 2007.
Volatility: the annualized standard deviation of the relevant index's
arithmetic daily returns since May 2, 2008. Volatility levels are calculated
from the hypothetical and historical returns, as applicable to the relevant
measurement period, of the Efficiente Plus 5 Index, SandP 500 Index (Excess
Return), and the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return)." Sharpe Ratio:
a measure of risk-adjusted performance, and is computed as the annualized
hypothetical and historical return since November 1, 2007 divided by the
annualized volatility since November 1, 2007.
For time periods prior to the launch of any Exchange-Traded Constituent and
such Exchange-Traded Constituents' initial satisfaction of a minimum size and
liquidity standard, the hypothetical back-testing uses alternative performance
information derived from a related index, after deducting hypothetical expenses
and fees, rather than performance information for such ETF.
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 or return results
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.

The Index was established on December 31, 2014 and therefore has a limited
operating history.

conditions do not represent a continuation of prior observed trends, the level
of the Index, which is rebalanced based on prior trends, may decline The Index
comprises notional assets and liabilities. There is no actual portfolio of
assets to which any person is entitled or in which any person has any ownership
interest.
The Index may not be successful, may not outperform any alternative strategy
and may not achieve its target volatility of 5%. The Index may be partially
uninvested if the cash index is included in the Monthly Reference Portfolio.
The investment strategy used to construct the index involves monthly
rebalancing and weighting constraints that are applied to the Basket
Constituents.
Changes in the values of the Basket Constituents may offset each other.
Each Basket Constituent composing the Index may be replaced by a substitute
constituent.

Tracking Fund are subject to uncertain legal and regulatory regimes.

Morgan.

of the Index is also subject to the credit risk of UBS AG, as well as the
issuer of the exchange-traded note Basket Constituent.

any of our affiliates and cannot necessarily be considered a revised, enhanced
or modified version of any other J.P. Morgan index.
