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") as at 31st
May 2022 of 101.84 pence per share. During the quarter to 31st May
2022 the Company paid a dividend of 1 penny per share on 31st May
2022, bringing the total return for the quarter to +8.26%.
JARA's portfolio is continuing to perform well since the Company
has been near fully invested. Across both public and private
allocations, and measured in local currency, JARA's real estate,
infrastructure and transportation allocations returned 2.2%, 2.6%
and 0.1% respectively, over the three month period . The 6.5%
appreciation of the US dollar versus sterling over the quarter*
significantly assisted GBP returns. We are again pleased to see
JARA's portfolio deliver positive returns over what has been a very
volatile period for most asset classes.
* The GBP/USD exchange rate was 1.26030 as at 31st May 2022.
Dividends
JARA has now paid out 9 pence per share of dividends since IPO.
The most recent quarterly dividend of 1 penny per share was paid to
investors on 31st May 2022 , representing an annualised yield of
3.92%* . The Board continues to expect the ongoing yield to be
within the target range of 4 - 6% on issue price as set out in the
Company's IPO prospectus.
* Based on JARA's closing share price as at 31st May 2022.
Issued Share Capital
No new shares were issued during the quarter. As at 31st May
2022, there were 217,407,952 shares in issue. Since its IPO in
September 2019 JARA has seen its share capital expand by 45.9%.
Portfolio Construction
As at 31st May 2022, the Company's portfolio was valued at
GBP221.4 million and was 99% invested. On 4th March 2022 and 24th
April 2022 the Company announced that $11.1 million and $8.2
million respectively of the Company's committed capital was called
and funded into the US Real Estate Mezzanine Debt strategy. These
investments were funded from cash and listed real assets and there
were no other significant asset allocation decisions or investments

Private Asset Portfolio Metrics
The private assets have the most complete data set compared to
the listed portion of JARA's portfolio given their less consistent
and non standardised reporting; therefore below we have included
the aggregated detail from the private portion of JARA's portfolio
to allow further analysis and comparison on a time series basis. As
at 31st May 2022 private asset exposure represented 82% of JARA's
NAV up from 78% last quarter.
Investments
-- 290 private investments and, at a more granular individual
asset level, look through exposure to 1,103 individual assets (28th
February 2022: 1,023)

Private Portfolio Operating Metrics
Discount Rates
-- The blended average discount rate is 7.2%. The asset level
discount rate will vary by strategy, with real estate currently
having a blended rate of 6.2% and Infrastructure and Transport
being 8.6%. The discount rate will change to some degree as new
assets are acquired. The discount rates have remained relatively
stable over the last couple of quarters and changes are primarily
driven by portfolio acquisitions and disposals rather than a
changing of assumptions.

Lease Duration
-- 5.5 years average lease duration in real estate and
transportation, with just 7% of JARA's portfolio leases due to
expire in 2022.

Duration (years) 4.7 4.4 5.5
Occupancy
-- 97% occupancy of leased assets in real estate and
transportation, of which 98% paid income as expected in Q1 2022, in
line with Q4 2021. At an overall portfolio level, occupancy and
income receipts are in line with what the Manager expects as
optimal portfolio performance.

Occupancy 98% 98% 97%
Loan To Value
-- 31% portfolio weighted average loan to value across private
assets. The leverage reduction from last quarter was driven by the
addition of Real Estate Mezzanine Debt which is an unlevered
strategy. Asset level LTVs will vary by strategy with the real
estate blended LTV of 21% and Infrastructure and Transport blended
LTV of 47%. The underlying strategies continue to take a
conservative view on overall leverage use.
30.11.21 28.02.22 31.05.22
LTV 39% 39% 31%
Debt
-- 2.9% blended average cost of debt across the strategies, with
79% being fixed and 21% floating and a weighted average maturity of
5.5 years.
30.11.21 28.02.22 31.05.22

Maturity (years) 5.9 5.7 5.5
Development Profile
-- The private asset portfolio had less than 3% exposure to
development assets. This allocation allows the Manager, where
appropriate, to capitalise on areas where construction is a more
effective way to gain access due to the rich pricing or due to a
preference for newer, more technologically advanced assets.
Currently the development allocation is mainly focused on three
areas; logistics assets, US multifamily residential and energy
logistic transportation. Each underlying strategy has the capacity
to engage in a small degree of development and this demonstrates
the strength and flexibility of the JPM Alternatives Platform.
We would expect construction exposure across JARA's portfolio to
remain relatively low on an aggregate basis.
