About JHDFX
JPMorgan Hedged Equity 2 Fund Class R5 is a U.S. mutual fund designed to provide capital appreciation while limiting exposure to severe market declines. The fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of large-cap U.S. equities, closely mirroring the sector weights and stock selection of the S&P 500 Index. Its core innovation lies in a disciplined options overlay: every quarter, managers purchase put options to hedge against declines between 5% and 20% in the index, while offsetting costs by selling farther out-of-the-money puts and dynamically writing covered call options with strike prices typically 3.5% to 5.5% above the index. This structure cushions portfolio losses during moderate to severe market downturns and reduces overall volatility, although it imposes a cap on upside potential during strong market rallies. The fund is managed by a seasoned team employing proprietary equity research for security selection. With about 180–200 holdings concentrated in technology, consumer cyclical, and communication services sectors, it offers broad market exposure yet targets smoother risk-adjusted returns compared to unhedged equity portfolios. Its process pillar rating and historical performance highlight consistent loss mitigation and competitive volatility-adjusted returns within the equity hedged category.
