We are downgrading the JPMorgan ASEAN fund to a Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of Neutral. The fund was previously rated Bronze. We like the competitive fees here, but we would prefer stronger and more stable analyst support for the strategy. Senior staffer Jenny Tan left the firm in 2012 and the compact team of four spans six countries with both analyst and portfolio manager responsibilities. The fund is also limited in the opportunities it can access in these developing markets due to the large amount of assets JPMorgan manages in the region. We therefore believe a Neutral Analyst Rating is more appropriate.
