APAC ex-Japan: Cyclicals versus defensive equities
Source: FactSet, MSCI, J.P. Morgan Asset Management.*Cyclical sectors include Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, Industrials, Financials and Materials. REITs are excluded from this analysis. It is more appropriate to value a REIT by looking at its price relative to its funds from operations (FFO), an income measure that excludes depreciation. Price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios look at price relative to net income, a measure that includes depreciation, making the comparison of valuations across sectors inappropriate. Defensive sectors include Telecommunications, Health Care, Utilities and Consumer Staples. Sector valuations are equal weighted. **Cyclicals represent the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex-Japan Cyclical Sector index and defensives represent the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex-Japan Defensive Sector index.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management: Index DefinitionsAll indexes are unmanaged and an individual cannot invest directly in an index. Index returns do not include fees or expenses. The S&P 500 Index is widely regarded as the best single gauge of the U.S. equities market. This world-renowned index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500 Index focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise.The price of equity securities may rise, or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries, or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to “stock market risk” meaning that stock prices in general may decline over short or extended periods of time.Small-capitalization investing typically carries more risk than investing in well-established "blue-chip" companies since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure. Historically, smaller companies' stock has experienced a greater degree of market volatility than the average stock.Mid-capitalization investing typically carries more risk than investing in well-established "blue-chip" companies. Historically, mid-cap companies' stock has experienced a greater degree of market volatility than the average stock.Real estate investments may be subject to a higher degree of market risk because of concentration in a specific industry, sector or geographical sector. Real estate investments may be subject to risks including, but not limited to, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trust and defaults by borrower.International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies can raise or lower returns. Also, some markets may not be as politically and economically stable as other nations. Investments in emerging markets can be more volatile. The normal risks of international investing are heightened when investing in emerging markets. In addition, the small size of securities markets and the low trading volume may lead to a lack of liquidity, which leads to increased volatility. Also, emerging markets may not provide adequate legal protection for private or foreign investment or private property.Investments in commodities may have greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, particularly if the instruments involve leverage. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Use of leveraged commodity-linked derivatives creates an opportunity for increased return but, at the same time, creates the possibility for greater loss.Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the original investment. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in investment losses, and the cost of such strategies may reduce investment returns.There is no guarantee that the use of long and short positions will succeed in limiting an investor's exposure to domestic stock market movements, capitalization, sector swings or other risk factors. Investing using long and short selling strategies may have higher portfolio turnover rates. Short selling involves certain risks, including additional costs associated with covering short positions and a possibility of unlimited loss on certain short sale positions.
