owns and seeks improved real estate
projects with stabilized occupancies
that produce a relatively high level
of current income combined with
moderate appreciation potential.
The Fund’s investment portfolio focuses
on attractive office, retail, residential
and industrial investments with high
quality physical improvements, excellent
locations and competitive positions within
their markets.
ON THE COVER AND ON THIS PAGE: 3500 WESTLAKE, AUSTIN, TX
3500 Westlake is a 175-unit, 94.3% leased apartment community located on a 16.5-acre site in northwest Austin, less than one mile south of the
Nalle Woods residential community that the Fund acquired in 2010. The property is located in one of Austin’s most affluent neighborhoods, where
tenants have access to all the amenities of the area without the high price of home ownership.

To our valued investors,
As you know, I have announced my
retirement after nearly 35 years with
J.P. Morgan so I am able to spend more
time with my family and travel. I want to
take this opportunity to thank you for the
privilege of working with you over the
past 15+ years as the Portfolio Manager
of Strategic Property Fund. We have built
an incredible Fund together, one with
strong underlying fundamentals and a resilient income-focused
portfolio of high quality assets, which I am extremely proud of.
Your partnership and confidence have enabled the Fund to grow
to over $19 billion net and nearly $26 billion gross. I leave you
in good hands with co-portfolio managers, Kim Adams and Ann
Cole, who were added to the Strategic Property Fund portfolio
management team last year and whom I have worked with closely
for more than a decade. For those who may not know Kim and
Ann, please find below a brief summary of their backgrounds.
Kim joined the Strategic Property Fund portfolio management
team in July 2012. Since joining Global Real Assets in 2003, Kim
has served in various investment roles including Sector Head
for office/industrial asset management in the Central region. In
this role, Kim was responsible for leading the asset management
efforts for the region’s office and industrial holdings, a $5.0
billion portfolio in gross value totaling approximately 66 million
square feet. Previously, Kim served as a senior asset manager
in the retail group as well as in the East/South region and as an
acquisitions officer in the Midwest region. Earlier in her career,
Kim worked for Prudential Real Estate Investors and LaSalle
Investment Management. Kim received a B.A. in economics
from Northwestern University and an M.B.A. from the Kellogg
Graduate School of Management. She serves as a board member
of NAIOP Chicago, a council member for the Urban Land Institute
and is a member of PREA.
Ann also joined the Strategic Property Fund portfolio
management team in July 2012. Since 1989, Ann has held various
positions in our Real Estate Asset Management team including
Sector Head of our office/industrial East (more than $4 billion in
assets) and West (more than $3 billion in assets) regions. Ann has
extensive experience with the acquisition, asset management,
development and disposition of institutional quality real estate
and was responsible for overseeing the development of Strategic
Property Fund’s 2000 Avenue of the Stars in Los Angeles. Ann
also served as a Client Portfolio Manager on the Marketing and
Client Strategy team, where she advised clients on real estate
investment strategies. Ann has a B.B.A. in accounting from Pace
University and passed the March 1987 CPA examination. Ann
holds the NASD Series 7 and 63 licenses, is an active participant
in NAREIM and is a member of PREA.
As Kevin Faxon mentioned in his letter to you in July, expect a
seamless transition. I have been working closely with Kim and
Ann on the management of Strategic Property Fund over the
past year in preparation for the day when they would become
my successors. The time has come; they are more than ready to
take over as co-portfolio managers. I have complete confidence
in their talent and ability to continue leading Strategic Property
Fund and working with you. Please join me in congratulating Ann
and Kim on this important promotion.
Thank you so very much for your well wishes since the
announcement. Most of all, thank you for a cherished 15+
years of serving you.
Sincerely,
Anne S. Pfeiffer
Senior Portfolio Manager
National Economic Overview
Real estate demand drivers are improving across the U.S.
Employment grew at an average monthly rate of 202,000 in
the first half of 2013, up from 185,000 during the same period
last year. Although government spending cuts have been a drag
on the economy, private sector growth has ramped up with
considerable support from the strengthening housing market,
more than compensating for the government pullback. If job
creation is sustained at current levels, it will steadily reduce
unemployment even factoring in stronger growth in the labor
force. Moody’s Analytics forecasts a return to full employment—
a jobless rate of approximately 5.7%—within three years.
We expect the recovery in real estate fundamentals, helped by
historically low construction outside of multifamily, to continue
broadly across markets and sectors. All major property types
are generating positive net operating income growth. We think
that pricing for core real estate is generally fair, but full, and
underwriting IRRs are stabilizing. A back-up in interest rates is
necessary to prevent frothy pricing. We expect that total core
returns, assuming 25% leverage, will average in the 7% to 8%
range over the next three years.
Real Estate Capital Markets
Overall, expected returns for newly underwritten core property
transactions have dipped to pre-recession lows on an unleveraged
basis. However, the spread between these unleveraged IRRs and
the rate at which they can be levered is much wider today than
it was before the recession. This suggests that if interest rates or
spreads rise sharply, the spread between these IRRs and the rates
at which they can be financed is sufficiently wide to absorb the
impact. We believe it is constructive and healthy for the market
for interest rates to rise. The spread between IRRs and the rate
at which they can be mortgaged is too wide and needs to narrow.
We believe it is better for the market if that spread is closed by
interest rates rising rather than underwriting IRRs falling.
In the short term, the impact of rising rates on real estate
capitalization rates is likely to be minimal. Historically, there has
been little correlation between the movements of interest rates
and real estate cap rates. Rising interest rates are generally
consistent with an improving economic environment in which
vacancies can be filled, rents raised and real estate cash flows

enhanced, muting the negative impact of the rising rates. In the
long term, unlevered core real estate IRRs appear sustainable at
roughly 6.5% to 7.5%, provided two conditions are met:
• 10-year Treasury yields stabilize at 4.5% to 5.0% over the
next five years. This rate, plus a 200 to 300 basis point spread
(consistent with historical core real estate premiums over
normalized, risk-free Treasury rates), suggests current real
estate prices, in general, have a cushion against moderate
rate increases.
• Real estate returns maintain a reasonable spread to competing
assets (BBB bonds) and mortgage rates (for 65% loan-to-value
commercial mortgages). Today, those spreads are historically
wide, leaving room for some tightening as rates rise.
neighborhoods that appeal to a well-educated and well-paid
Gen Y renter-by-choice. While the sector does not appear to
be broadly threatened by overconstruction, given the narrow
development focus of this cycle, we anticipate that pockets of
oversupply will emerge over the next 18 months, causing rents to
flatten or even decline in some submarkets.
Class B and C properties have recently generated stronger
rent growth than Class A properties. One reason for this is
that existing Class A properties face more direct competition
than lower quality properties from the new projects coming on
line, which frequently command top-of-market rents. In many
markets, Class A properties have already pushed rents to levels
where further increases would be firmly resisted. Finally, the
residents of B and C properties are less likely to qualify for
mortgages than residents of Class A properties and thus are
more likely to stay where they are.
Real Estate Sector Review
Office Sector
Residential Sector
Nationally, apartment occupancy is close to 95%, the highest
since 2006. Having slowed in recent quarters, rent growth
reaccelerated slightly in the second quarter, due primarily to
ongoing economic strength in areas with high exposure to
information technology and energy. Year-over-year rent growth
is now approximately 3.5% versus 3.2% six months ago. The
Denver, Seattle, Portland, Houston and San Francisco Bay Area
markets all delivered better than 6% year-over-year rent growth.
As new supply picks up somewhat and homeownership stabilizes,
we expect apartment rent growth to resume its deceleration.
Apartment starts continue to be heavily concentrated in urban
The office market continued to make slow, steady progress
through the second quarter of 2013, evidenced by a 20 basis
point drop in the national vacancy rate. Supply-side restraint has
been critical to the continued decline in vacancy. The volume of
construction today is historically low, just a quarter of what it
was at this point in the last cycle. Absent the lid on development,
vacancy would probably be trending up as leasing has been
lackluster in several dominant markets including Manhattan
and Washington, D.C. In New York, large financial institutions
continue to place whole floors of excess space back on the market,
while large law firms are demanding more efficient occupancy,

often downsizing when they renew or enter into new leases. In
Washington, spending cuts related to sequestration and slower job
creation have also resulted in less office space being leased.
For the most part, rent growth has been anemic in this cycle
outside of the energy and technology-heavy markets. Following
an exceptionally strong run-up in rents, rent growth in the techdominated San Francisco Bay Area markets is now decelerating.
At the same time, the Southern California markets are beginning
to pick up momentum, exemplified by Los Angeles’s Westside,
which is once again experiencing positive absorption and firming
asking rents after a long period of dormancy. Markets badly
afflicted by the excesses of the housing bust, including Southeast
Florida, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Phoenix have been especially
slow to rebound. While they are now improving, most still are
some distance from equilibrium.
Retail Sector
Overall retail sales growth was moderate in the second quarter.
Same store sales growth is slowing, though the discrepancy
between the results of luxury and all others remains marked,
mirroring the income gap. Higher-end retailers continue to
generate much stronger sales growth than discounters and
other retailers serving less affluent customers. Mall owners are
finding that with their better sales results, luxury retailers not
only can pay higher starting rents, but they also have a greater
tolerance for rent increases during the term than their lowerend counterparts. Consequently, the competition to attract
high-end tenants is intense.
The retail sector is grappling with the all-important question of
how to continue to lure consumers into stores, even as the share
of sales that are made through the internet rises. One answer
is to lease less space to sellers of goods and more to services
requiring face-to-face contact, which comprise a substantial
share of U.S. consumption. Accordingly, restaurants, banks
and financial advisors, showrooms, medical clinics and other
personal services will have a greater presence in shopping
centers than in the past.
Warehouse/Industrial Sector
Even after twelve consecutive quarters of positive net absorption,
the warehouse market does not appear to be winding down. The
national availability rate dropped 40 bps in the second quarter
to 12.2%, which is 130 bps below the year-ago level. Nearly all
metro markets have tightened since the start of the year. While
asking rents have firmed slightly overall, rent trends vary quite a
bit across markets.
Demand has been strongest in very large (500,000+ square
feet) functional boxes. The clear preference is for recently
constructed facilities featuring high clear heights and crossdocking with ample truck court and parking areas. These
facilities often serve as single locations filled with sophisticated
picking systems that allow retailers to distribute to their stores
as well as to individual consumers who purchase online. Many
large e-retailers are following Amazon’s lead with site selection
criteria that include the ability to reach major population hubs in
a single day and easy access to well-developed highway systems
and to inexpensive labor as the activities conducted in these
facilities frequently are labor intensive. Additional considerations
include low land values and availability of property and other tax
incentives and foreign trade zones. Locations with these features
are not often supply-constrained, however, so rent growth may
be minimal going forward.

Portfolio Returns
Strategic Property Fund continues to deliver consistent
positive performance and solid income. The second quarter
total gross return was 3.85%, comprised of income of 1.30%
and appreciation of 2.53%. The Fund’s trailing one year total
gross return of 14.36%, was comprised of income of 5.20%
and appreciation of 8.74%. The Fund currently represents
approximately 20% of the ODCE index (an index of core openend funds) and continues to perform well against its peer
group. The Fund outperformed ODCE over the one-, three-,
five-, ten- and 15-year, and since inception time periods by 219
bps, 9 bps, 125 bps, 112 bps, 107 bps and 94 bps, respectively.
The size, quality and location of our assets continue to deliver
strong returns to our investors. In particular, the strength of
Strategic Property Fund’s large office assets in primary markets
and super regional malls continues to differentiate the Fund and
was again a key contributor to the strong performance.
Quarterly valuation of direct real estate resulted in appreciation
of $427.3 million (229 bps). For the second consecutive quarter,
the office and retail sectors represented a significant portion
of the direct real estate value increase (68.5% this quarter). A
debt mark to market adjustment contributed to appreciation of
SUNNYVALE CITY CENTER, SUNNYVALE, CA
$47.6 million (25 bps). In general, improvements in the Fund’s
underlying fundamentals, such as increased rents and leasing
momentum across all sectors, and capital markets contributed
to the appreciation this quarter. Over the past year, the Fund’s
net operating income has played an increasing role in driving
value gains and the NOI after debt service for comparable
properties has increased by 6.9%.
The office sector delivered the largest value increase with a
gain of $170.4 million (91 bps) and a leveraged total return
of 3.67%, comprised of an income return of 1.49% and
appreciation of 2.16%. In New York City, the value at 200 Fifth
Avenue increased primarily due to favorable leasing activity
from the office asset’s retail suites, in particular, renewals at
rents higher than pro forma. Additionally, more aggressive
capital markets assumptions reflecting recent comparable
transactions contributed to the valuation increase. In Southern
California, the values of Century Plaza Towers and Bluffs at
Playa Vista increased significantly due to increased market rent
projections and recent comparable transactions supporting
higher valuations. In Silicon Valley, the value at Sunnyvale City
Center increased due to continued rent growth and investor
demand for high quality assets in that market.
CENTURY PARK, LOS ANGELES, CA
PORTFOLIO RETURNS
The retail sector followed with a gain of $122.1 million (65 bps)
and a leveraged total return of 5.50%, comprised of an income
return of 1.38% and appreciation of 4.08%. The two entity level
retail investments, Edens and Donahue Schriber Realty Group
(DSRG), experienced healthy appreciation due to decreases in
cap rates. The first half of 2013 showed investor demand for
quality retail continuing and extending to secondary markets.
Power centers and grocery–anchored neighborhood and
community centers were all in demand.
The residential sector generated a gain of $93.4 million (50
bps), which translated into a leveraged total return of 4.08%,
comprised of an income return of 1.24% and appreciation
of 2.82%. The Chicago CBD residential market continues
to see strong leasing velocity and rent growth, which is
trending ahead of expectations. At the Coast Apartments, the
valuation further increased, as the asset achieved substantial
completion. In Washington, D.C., the increase in value
among the Capitol Yards portfolio (70, 100 and 909) was a
combination of lower exit rates and lower economic vacancy.
The D.C. multifamily market continued to be aggressively
pursued by buyers during the first half of the year. The sales
comparables that closed signaled to appraisers that more
aggressive exit pricing was appropriate. Overall, multifamily
properties in urban locations of major cities that are near
public transportation continue to be in high demand.
The industrial sector posted an increase of $41.4 million
(22 bps) with a leveraged total return of 4.15%, comprised
of an income return of 1.43% and appreciation of 2.69%.
BRIDGEWATER COMMONS, BRIDGEWATER, NJ
Fundamentals in the industrial space continue to improve in
major markets. The Alliance Texas and South Bay Industrials
portfolios benefited from strong leasing momentum and rent
growth in the Fort Worth and Southern California markets. At
Alliance Texas, major new leases in the last quarter included
Walmart (78,000 square feet), Motorola/Google (450,000
square feet) and NFI Logistics/Colgate (473,000 square feet).
Moreover, significant renewals such as the National Rail Service
(300,000 square feet) and Exel Logistics/Texas Instruments
(410,000 square feet) added to the long term durable income
stream of the Fund. During the first half of 2013, the Fund’s
industrial portfolio experienced substantial value increases due
to the increased occupancy from credit tenants as well as a
broad increase in investor demand for stable industrial assets,
leading to lower required returns for high quality assets.
Earlier in this section of the report, we referenced Strategic
Property Fund’s outperformance to the ODCE index. Starting in
2013, the Fund changed its official benchmark from NPI to NFIODCE. NFI-ODCE is a broad based fund-level index of core open
end funds and takes into account leverage, the ownership
percentage in joint venture structures and cash holdings. The
Fund’s investors as well as many of our peers in the industry
are utilizing NFI-ODCE in their performance measurement.
Accordingly, Strategic Property Fund has adopted the NFIODCE Value Weighted Index as its official benchmark to use
as a comparison to how the Fund is performing versus other
funds with stated “core” strategies. We believe the current
year is a good time to change as we are neither in a peak nor
trough of the real estate cycle.
ALLIANCE GATEWAY 11, FORT WORTH, TX
Portfolio Activity
Strategic Property Fund deployed $848.2 million of equity to
acquire five investments in New York City, San Diego and Austin.
In midtown Manhattan, the Fund invested $464.8 million of
net equity to acquire 425 Lexington Avenue, a 700,718-squarefoot Class A office building (including approximately 14,000
square feet of retail space) adjacent to Grand Central Terminal
spanning the full street block from 43rd to 44th Street on
Lexington Avenue. The building is 99.8% leased to high credit
tenants with a weighted average remaining lease term of 16.1
years, mitigating any potential leasing risk in the near future.
Grand Central Terminal is a major hub for commuters across the
New York metro area and Connecticut. The building is one of
the newest high rise office towers in midtown Manhattan with
amenities required by tenants, such as convenient access to mass
transit, fine dining and retail. The Grand Central submarket is
home to corporate headquarters of numerous financial service
institutions and Fortune 500 companies and it commands some
of the highest rents in the city.
Also in midtown Manhattan, the Fund acquired 125 West 55th
Street, a 590,628-square-foot, 98.1% leased Class A office
building at the confluence of the Westside and 6th Avenue/
Rockefeller Center submarkets, for $273.9 million of equity.
The building is one of the newest in its area and offers its tenants
column-free floor plates and flexible workspaces. The property’s
Midtown location provides tenants with access to the area’s
concentration of corporate clients and service providers, as
well as extensive amenities found within the Plaza District, Sixth
Avenue/Rockefeller Center and Columbus Circle submarkets. The
site is proximate to hospitality, dining, cultural and recreational
amenities including the Shops at Columbus Circle, Museum of
Modern Art, Carnegie Hall and Central Park. The location is also
within walking distance of New York’s most heavily trafficked
destination retail corridors. Commuters have transportation
access to 10 subway lines within a five–block radius of the
property. In the Midtown South submarket of Manhattan, the
Fund invested an initial $1.6 million of equity into the Hudson
Yards South Tower development project. Upon completion in
2016, the Class A, 1.8 million-square-foot office tower will be the
first building in the master-planned Hudson Yards redevelopment
along the Hudson River. The tower will be among the newest,
most technologically advanced and most energy efficient office
buildings in New York City. The building will be 47 stories in height
and will seek a LEED Gold certification.

PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY
In downtown San Diego, the Fund invested $68.3 million of
equity in The Lofts Portfolio, comprised of 460 units in three
Class A residential buildings and a combined 23,938 square feet
of ground-floor retail space. The Portfolio is 92.2% leased and
the three buildings are located within four blocks of each other
in downtown’s East Village neighborhood. Situated on G Street
between Sixth and Tenth Avenues, the buildings are located to
the east of the Gaslamp District and north of the ballpark, with
immediate access to neighborhood amenities, restaurants and
shopping and convenient access to area attractions, employment
centers and regional freeways. In Austin, the Fund acquired
3500 Westlake, a 175-unit Class A residential community, for
$39.6 million of equity. It is located less than one mile south
of the Fund’s Nalle Woods residential community in northwest
Austin that was acquired in 2010. The property has convenient
access to several natural amenities including Lake Austin and the
Barton Creek Green Belt. Accordingly, the property offers great
views of the wooded Texas Hill Country and the surrounding
bluffs. Residents have an easy commute to Austin’s southwest
employment center as well as downtown. Additionally, the
property is adjacent to the San Clemente office park, which
contains the headquarters of VM Ware and Bazaarvoice.
total sales proceeds. Given the vintage age of the asset and a
potentially risky major tenant, the Fund seized the opportunity
to sell the asset while there was significant interest from
buyers seeking quality core products in this market. Also
of note, the Fund sold Arcadia Cove, a 432-unit apartment
community in Phoenix, which yielded net proceeds of $34.4
million. Due to the asset’s below-average long-term growth
potential, age and capital needs, the Fund took advantage of
the favorable market environment to sell the asset.
While capital markets continue to contribute to increased values
across the portfolio, the Fund’s NOI has played an increasing role
in driving appreciation gains. In the second quarter, Strategic
Property Fund’s occupancy increased to 93.4% from 92.7% in
the first quarter; occupancy was 91.9% a year ago. Comparable
property NOI grew by 1.4% quarter-over-quarter and more than
6% since last year. Leasing increased across all sectors. The
retail sector remains strong at 94.0% leased followed closely by
the office sector at 93.8%. The residential sector was at 92.9%
leased and the leasing in the industrial sector, which has been
asset management’s focus for several quarters, now exceeds
90% and ended the quarter at 91.4%; an increase from 86.4%
at this time last year.
The Fund continued to show its discipline in rebalancing and
refining the composition of the overall portfolio. As a result,
disposition activity yielded total net proceeds of $263.0
million, which included the sale of an office building and a
residential asset, partial sales of the 7950 Professional Center
portfolio and the repayment of the Lakeshore East land loan
receivable. The sale of 225 West Wacker, a 650,812 square-foot
office building in the West Loop submarket of Chicago yielded
net proceeds of $212.8 million, representing 80.9% of the
Overall, our asset management team continues to proactively
execute on blend and extend strategies with existing tenants
where appropriate and identify creative ways to work with
leasing tenants. Moreover, to further enhance the value of the
portfolio, our asset managers constantly review each asset for
its marketability, tenant experience and opportunities to drive
interest and rents and make improvements where suitable. To
highlight two residential leasing successes from the second

PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY
quarter, first, the Coast Apartments, a new 515-unit development
project in the Lakeshore East neighborhood of Chicago that
delivered in March 2013, is leasing extremely well. The property
is 66% leased and is currently averaging 48 leases per month
with rents that are 14% ahead of pro forma. Second, The District,
a 125-unit new building in the 14th Street corridor of Washington,
D.C. that the Fund purchased vacant in March 2013, is also leasing
extremely well. In the face of new supply coming on line in D.C.,
the property is 66% leased with rents 6% higher than pro forma,
in less than four months.
Portfolio leverage increased to 24.9% at the end of the quarter.
The Fund expects to repay its Freddie Mac loans upon maturity
in August and place new debt on select assets, which should
bring the Fund’s leverage within its target range of 25% to
30%. Investment–level debt coming due over the next 12, 24
and 36 months is very manageable at 4.3%, 3.8% and 2.9%
of net asset value, respectively. The weighted average cost
of capital is 4.5%, with 78.6% of our loans at fixed rates and
secured by real estate assets.
The cash position, a main focus this year, was successfully
decreased to 3.7% of the Fund’s net asset value at quarter end,
within the Fund’s target of 3% to 5%. Investor demand for high
quality real estate is strong; the Fund continued to receive strong
client commitment and added $410.4 million of new commitments
to the contribution queue. The contribution queue was $2.4 billion,
12.6% of the Fund’s net asset value, at quarter end. On July 3, the
Fund received $543.3 million of client capital, which decreased
the contribution queue to $1.9 billion, 9.8% of the Fund’s net asset
value. The Fund remains open to new investor capital. The focus
remains on selecting appropriate assets at appropriate prices,
pruning assets that no longer meet our criteria for quality and
market position and keeping cash at a level that does not drag
performance. Thus, the current estimated timeframe for calling
capital for new commitments is approximately 12 months. The
Fund honored $258.1 million in distributions for cash flow, fees
and redemption requests.

For the balance of the year, we will continue to focus on acquiring
assets consistent with the Fund’s strategy for long-term growth
(i.e., focus on infill, live/work/play and renter-by-choice locations
in major markets and industries), bringing leverage to within
the Fund’s target range of 25% to 30% (i.e., take advantage of
the current interest rates and refinance or place new debt on
select assets), maintaining the cash position within 3% to 5% of
net asset value and keeping a strong balance sheet to invest in
the portfolio in order to drive income return. Thank you for your
continued confidence and support.

Notes to Financial Statements
Description and Basis of Presentation
Investment Valuation
The Commingled Pension Trust Fund (Strategic Property) of
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Fund”) is designed as a funding
vehicle for tax-qualified pension, profit-sharing and employee
benefit plans. Its investments are composed primarily of real
estate investments owned directly or through partnership
interests. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMC”) is the trustee of
the Fund (the “Trustee”).
Estimated fair value of net equity investments in real estate
assets, which includes working capital of the underlying
investments, are determined by the Trustee at each valuation
date and the fair value of the Fund’s interest in these investments
is based on its proportionate ownership.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited Annual Report as of September
30, 2012. Operating results for the nine-month period ended June
30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
expected for the year ending September 30, 2013.
Revenue Recognition
The Fund’s income from investment properties is recorded in
accordance with the equity method of accounting and expenses
are recorded when incurred. Unrealized gains and losses are
computed using the cost of the investments and their fair
value. Since the Fund records its investments at fair value, no
depreciation or amortization expense on real property interests
is recognized. Interest income from mortgage loans receivable
is recognized as revenue when earned in accordance with the
terms of the underlying loan agreement which approximates
the effective interest method. Loans in default are placed on
non-accrual status. While on non-accrual status, loans are
either accounted for on a cash basis, in which interest income is
recognized only upon actual receipt, or on a cost recovery basis,
in which receipts reduce carrying value, based on the Trustee’s
judgment as to collectability of principal.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. There
are three valuation techniques that can be used to value
investments in real estate assets: the market, income or cost
approach. The appropriateness of each valuation technique
depends on the type of asset or business being valued.
As part of the Trustee’s valuation process, properties are
externally appraised generally on an annual basis, conducted
by reputable, independent appraisal firms, and signed by
appraisers that are members of the Appraisal Institute, with
the professional designation MAI. In addition, the Trustee may
cause additional appraisals to be performed as warranted by
specific asset or market conditions. All external appraisals
are performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practices (“USPAP”). Property valuations
and the salient valuation-sensitive assumptions of each direct
investment property are reviewed by the Trustee quarterly and
values are adjusted if there has been a significant change in
circumstances related to the investment property since the last
valuation. Value adjustments for interim capital expenditures
are only recognized to the extent that the valuation process
acknowledges a corresponding increase in fair value. The
Trustee’s valuation methodology utilized in determining fair
value is consistent with GAAP and the practices prevailing
within the real estate appraisal and real estate investment
management industries. Key inputs and assumptions used to
determine fair value include among others, rental revenue and
expense amounts and related revenue and expense growth
rates, terminal capitalization rates and discount rates.
The fair value of mortgage loans payable for investment level
debt is considered in connection with the valuation of net equity
investments in real estate assets. Estimated fair values are
N OT E S TO F I N A N C I A L STAT E M E N T S
derived using original term borrowing rates in conjunction with
market oriented leveraged equity yields available at respective
valuation dates, which are Level III inputs. The discounted cash
flow method is used, which applies certain key assumptions
including market interest rates, interest spreads, credit risk
and liquidity and other factors. As investment properties are
accounted for under the equity method of accounting, the
estimated fair values of investment level debt are embedded
in the fair values of the investment properties, which are
recorded in “Investment in real estate assets at fair value” on the
statement of net assets. At times, the Fund may assume debt in
connection with the purchase of real estate.
Estimated fair value of investments in mortgage loans receivables
are derived quarterly using the discounted cash flow method,
which applies certain key assumptions. These assumptions
include market interest rates, interest spreads, credit risk and
liquidity. Additionally, the Fund considers the underlying collateral
supporting each mortgage loan investment.
The Trustee will also estimate the fair value of the Fund’s
investments in privately held closed end funds based upon the
Fund’s share of the investments’ fair values using information
provided in the investments’ reporting on a quarterly basis.
In the opinion of the Trustee, these estimated values are
reasonable approximations of fair value as of June 30, 2013.
The estimate of fair value may vary significantly from the price
achieved in a sale and this difference may be material to the
financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires the Trustee to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Participant Withdrawal Policy
Fund participants may withdraw from the Fund once per quarter
subject to available cash, as determined by the Trustee. A written
withdrawal request is required 45 days prior to quarter end.
To the extent that withdrawal requests exceed available cash,
distributions are made on a pro rata basis. Available cash is
defined as excess cash after provision for outstanding future
capital commitments and other operating reserves.
During the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2013,
approximately $258 million and $574 million were withdrawn by
investors, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, a further
withdrawal of $210 million was made in July 2013. As of August
15, 2013, there are no outstanding requests.
Income Taxes
The Fund is generally exempt from Federal income taxes under
provisions of section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Uncertain tax positions are assessed by the Trustee to determine
whether a tax position of the Fund is more likely than not to be
sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related
appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of
the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not
threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements
is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty
percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement
with the relevant taxing authority. As of June 30, 2013, there are
no uncertain tax positions recorded in the financial statements.
The Fund files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the
jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business,
the Fund is subject to examination by federal, state, local, and
foreign jurisdictions, where applicable.
The Fund classifies interest and penalties relating to uncertain
tax positions in “general fund expenses” on the statement
of operations. There were no interest or penalties related to
uncertain tax positions for the three months and nine months
ended June 30, 2013.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents held in the Fund include investments
in the J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Liquidity Fund and through
other financial institutions. These investments consist of
short-term marketable securities such as Treasury bills and
commercial paper.
Related Parties
J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co., an affiliate of the Trustee,
provides administrator services to the Fund.
Administrator service fees are not charged to the Fund
and accordingly are not reflected within the Fund’s
financial statements.
Investment management fees are charged directly to investors
in the Fund and accordingly are not reflected within the Fund’s
net asset value.
The Fund enters into real estate partnerships with various
joint venture partners that provide management, leasing and
construction-related services to the properties in which the Fund
has an ownership interest.
Fund Investments
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements
defines fair value, expands disclosure requirements and
specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether
the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or
unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained
from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect
the Fund’s market assumptions.
These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level I—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level II—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets
that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all
significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in
active markets.
Level III—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in
which one or more significant inputs or significant value
drivers are unobservable.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data,
when available, and minimizes the use of unobservable
inputs when determining fair value.
Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors,
including the type of investment and the characteristics specific
to the investment. Investments with readily available active
quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from
actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of
market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used
in measuring fair value.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may
fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such
cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy
is based on the lowest level of input that is significant
to the fair value measurement. The Fund’s assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value
measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers
factors specific to the investment.
As of June 30, 2013, all investments are measured at fair
value on a recurring basis using Level III inputs. See below
for a reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured at
fair value on a recurring basis using Level III inputs during
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Line of Credit
In August 2011, the Fund entered into an unsecured revolving
credit facility (the “Facility”) from an unrelated financial institution,
with a borrowing capacity of $400 million. The Facility is for a two
year term, with a one year extension option. The Facility contains
restrictive covenants that, among other matters, require the Fund
to maintain certain financial ratios. As of June 30, 2013, the Fund
was in compliance with all restrictive covenants.
On June 28, 2013, the Facility was amended to include a
Subsidiary Borrower (425 Lexington Realty Company LLC) and
$214.4M was borrowed under the Facility. The outstanding balance
of $214.4M is embedded in the fair value of the investment
property which is recorded in “Investments in real estate assets
at fair value.” Subsequently, on August 1, 2013, the outstanding
balance of $214.4M was paid off.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Participants of the Commingled Pension Trust Fund
(Strategic Property) of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of net assets of the Commingled Pension Trust Fund
(Strategic Property) of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank (the “Fund”) as of June 30, 2013, and the related
statement of operations and changes in net assets and statement of cash flows for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended June 30, 2013. This interim financial information is the responsibility of J.P.
Morgan Chase Bank, as Trustee.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical
procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial information taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
