LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

JPMORGAN GLOBAL CORE REAL ASSETS LIMITED

QUARTERLY NET ASSET VALUE AND PORTFOLIO UPDATE

Legal Entity Identifier: 549300D8JHZTH6GI8F97

JPMorgan Global Core Real Assets Limited ("JARA" or "the Company") announces an unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share as at 31st May 2021 of 88.01 pence. During the quarter to 31st May 2021 the Company paid a dividend of 1 penny per share on 27th May 2021, bringing the total return for the quarter to +1.2%.

Across both public and private allocations, and measured in local currency, JARA's real estate, infrastructure and transportation allocations returned 3.8%, 2.3% and 1.2% respectively over the three month period. This local currency return is in line with JARA's long term return targets. The 1.7% depreciation of the US dollar versus sterling* over the quarter delivered a drag to performance.

Of particular note was how the gradual global reopening benefited a range of real estate sectors in both the public and private markets, including those which have struggled most as a result of the pandemic. The transportation market has also benefited from the increase in economic activity with measures such as port call data and utilization levels looking strong. The Company's listed allocation provided notably strong positive performance over the period.

* The GBP/USD exchange rate was 1.4215 as at 31st May 2021.

Portfolio

As at 31st May 2021, the Company's invested portfolio was valued at £176.1 million. The Company has uncalled commitments of £8.1 million.

During the period a further $13.8 million of committed capital was called by the Asia-Pacific Real Estate Strategy and this will serve to materially increase the exposure to industrial/ logistics assets within the property allocation whilst further increasing JARA's revenue. This capital call brought JARA to 96% invested.

Private asset portfolio metrics (as at 31st May 2021)

• 232 investments (28th February 2021: 235), and at a more granular individual asset level, look through exposure to 880 individual assets (28th February 2021: 831). As the underlying strategies are actively managed, the managers will, if appropriate, look to buy or sell private investments to take advantage of accretive opportunities they see in the market. This may impact the number of investments held between quarters. 
• 7.6% average discount rate (28th February 2021: 7.5%).
• 4.9 years average lease duration in real estate and transportation (28th February 2021: 4.9 years), with just 7% of JARA's portfolio leases due to expire in 2021.
• 97% occupancy of leased assets in real estate and transportation (28th February 2021: 96%), of which 97% payed income as expected in Q1 of 2021, in line with optimal portfolio performance.
• 40% portfolio weighted average loan to value (28th February 2021: 42%). Real estate blended LTV of 30% and Infrastructure and Transport blended LTV of 51%. The underlying strategies generally take a conservative view on overall leverage use and this approach has benefitted them over the last year of COVID related volatility.
• 3.1% blended average cost of debt across the strategies (28th February 2021: 3.3%), with 81% being fixed and 19% floating and a weighted average maturity of 5.9 years (28th February 2021: 4.8 years).
• The private asset portfolio had less than 3% exposure to development assets (28th February 2021: <3%), focused within the property strategies, taking advantage of the disparity between logistics and infill assets pricing when compared with their construction costs.
