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
August 2022 of 108.06 pence per share. During the quarter to 31st
August 2022 the Company paid a dividend of 1 penny per share on
30th August 2022, bringing the total return for the quarter to
+7.1%.
JARA's portfolio is continuing to perform resiliently in a
volatile market environment. Across both public and private
allocations, and measured in local currency, JARA's real estate,
infrastructure and transportation allocations returned 1.4%, 1.2%
and 1.8%, respectively, over the three month period . The 7.7%
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 1.1636 as at 31st August
2022.
Dividends
JARA has now paid out 10 pence per share of dividends since IPO.
The most recent quarterly dividend of 1 penny per share was paid to
investors on 30th August 2022 , representing a current annualised
yield of 3.73%*, and 4% on issue price . 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 August
2022.
Issued Share Capital
The Board is delighted with the resumption of issuance against a
difficult market backdrop which shows that there is continued
investor demand for JARA's diversified real asset strategy. This
culminated in 2 million new shares being issued during the quarter.
As at 31st August 2022, there were 219,407,952 shares in issue.
Since its IPO in September 2019 JARA has seen its share capital
expand by 47.3%. The Board will continue to balance the management
of JARA's premium with investor demand for share issuance.

Floating 22% 21% 23%
Maturity (years) 5.7 5.5 5.0
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. 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.
