About JHEQX

JPMorgan Hedged Equity Fund Class I is a mutual fund designed to offer exposure to U.S. large-cap equities while seeking to reduce volatility and cushion downside risk. Its primary function is to provide capital appreciation with a disciplined risk management overlay using index options. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of large U.S. companies, with sector allocations closely resembling the S&P 500 Index, and a notable tilt towards technology, financials, and consumer discretionary sectors. A distinctive feature of this fund is its systematic options strategy: every quarter, the managers buy protective put options 5% below the S&P 500 market value and finance this by selling deeper out-of-the-money puts and call options. This structure protects investors from moderate equity market declines—specifically, losses between 5% and 20% over each three-month period—at the cost of capping gains during strong rallies. The result is a smoother return profile, with lower overall volatility, compared to unhedged equity funds. JPMorgan Hedged Equity Fund Class I appeals to institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking equity market participation with a focus on capital preservation and robust risk-adjusted returns, especially during periods of market stress.
