About PECAX
The JPMorgan SMID Cap Equity Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund that seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies with intermediate, or small- to mid-sized, market capitalizations. The fund adopts a disciplined, research-driven approach, focusing on identifying companies with strong competitive positions operating in specialized market niches. The management emphasizes businesses with high returns on capital, robust earnings, and healthy free cash flow, favoring these metrics over simple revenue growth.

Led by a seasoned team with extensive experience in small and mid-cap equities, the fund’s process is designed to capitalize on overlooked growth opportunities within the broader Russell 2500 Index. Its portfolio construction aims to balance risk and reward, historically performing well during market downturns while occasionally trailing during sector-driven rallies. The JPMorgan SMID Cap Equity Fund Class A plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to dynamic U.S. companies beyond the large-cap universe, thereby contributing to portfolio diversification and participation in the growth potential of emerging leaders in various industries.
