LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

JPMORGAN INCOME & GROWTH INVESTMENT TRUST PLC

UNAUDITED HALF YEAR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED

31ST JULY 2016

Chairman's Statement

This is the last half year report and accounts of the Company's life, before we are wound up at the end of November, in accordance with our Articles of Association.

Financial markets made good progress over the six months to 31st July, propelled by the combination of moderate growth and monetary laxity. Central banks in Japan and Europe continued to add monetary fuel to the global financial engine, whilst the Federal Reserve abstained from further tightening. The Bank of England cut interest rates by 0.25% and announced further purchases of assets with newly created money. The FTSE 350 (the Company's benchmark) returned 11.9%.

After six straight years of outperformance, the Managers had a difficult half year. The shareholders' funds total return was still positive at 6.9%, but this was some 5% below the benchmark. As we promised shareholders, we remained fully invested in anticipation of our wind-up. Gearing added value; the non-UK equity portfolio beat the benchmark; but the UK equity portion - some 70% of assets - fell sharply behind the index.

The Manager's Report explains the causes of this performance in greater detail. The period under review includes the immediate impact of Britain's decision to leave the EU. This led to relative weakness of UK-oriented companies, to which we have significant exposure. These companies had previously led our strong performance since 2009. We are relatively underexposed to the largest multinationals that benefited from sterling's depreciation in the wake of the vote.

The Board increased the quarterly dividend to 1.2p per Income share in the previous financial year, largely reflecting the strength of dividends paid by UK companies.

It is the Board's intention to remain fully invested over the next several months. We have announced already that shares in another investment trust, JPMorgan Elect plc will be offered to shareholders preferring to retain uninterrupted exposure to markets and not to crystallise capital gains by receiving cash. We intend to write again in anticipation of an Extraordinary General Meeting to authorise the winding-up of the Company.

Investment Managers' Report

Market Review

Global equity markets performed positively over the period under review as economic data showed global growth to be on track. The vote to leave the EU came as a shock towards the end of the second quarter, as market participants assigned a high probability for a 'remain' vote. Given the immediate downgrade in the UK's perceived near-term growth prospects, as well as the rise in uncertainty facing the global economy as a whole, equity markets sold off significantly and bond prices rose in the immediate aftermath. However, markets stabilised within a few days and performed well in July and August as equities and corporate bonds rose strongly.

In anticipation of the economic effects of the Brexit shock, the Bank of England reduced interest rates in August renewed its asset purchase programme. Elsewhere the effects of Brexit appear to be limited with the euro area Purchasing Managers Index remaining at a level suggestive of satisfactory growth.

Portfolio Review

The Income & Growth portfolio is managed to the objective of meeting the final capital entitlement of the Income shareholders, as well as providing them with a regular income, and of providing capital growth for the Capital shareholders.

The Company's overall portfolio return of +6.9% underperformed the benchmark's return of +11.9% over the six months to the end of July 2016. There was positive absolute performance from all underlying strategies. Our UK equity holdings which make up our biggest allocation delivered a positive absolute return during the period, but underperformed the FTSE 350 index by 7.1%.

This disappointing performance of the UK equity element of the portfolio was a result of the portfolio's overweight position in stocks exposed to the domestic economy such as house builders, retailers and media companies. The negative impact attributable to these three sectors alone was in the region of 3.7%. It resulted from a fear that these sectors will experience a greater impact from any post 'Brexit' slow-down than sectors whose business is mainly conducted overseas.

Looking at specific holdings in the portfolio the worst performers were Berkeley Group, a house builder with a large London exposure; Next Plc, the high street retailer and ITV, for whom advertising is a key source of revenue. Conversely our internationally-exposed holdings such as British American Tobacco, Rio Tinto and GlaxoSmithKline performed strongly.

In periods of such volatility it is imperative to continue to assess the portfolio's holdings to ensure that the rationale behind the original investment decision still holds. For the vast majority of holdings this was the case and as a result few changes were made to the portfolio. Whilst we acknowledge the fact that economic uncertainty has risen we see little to be gained from selling holdings where the underlying business case remains strong and where the message from the management teams remains one of guarded optimism.

During the review period we have made no changes to our asset allocation. The largest allocation is UK equities. We also own 11% in JPM Multi-Asset Income Fund. It remains important that we have diversified sources of income and exposure to attractive asset classes to help meet the Fund's dual income and growth objectives.

We have a 4% allocation to JPM Europe Strategic Dividend Fund, which delivered a positive absolute performance in sterling terms during the first six months. Within the fund the largest contributor to relative returns at the sector level was stock selection in Food, Beverage & Tobacco whilst underweight positions in the resources and mining sectors damaged returns as commodity prices rose.

The JPM Global High Yield Bond Fund, which represents 9% of the trust, also produced a positive return over the period. Within this fund, issuers in the telecommunications and consumer sectors performed well whilst underweight positions in mining, energy and utility sectors hurt performance.

Outlook

We expect the dovish stance from the Federal Reserve to continue, supporting a continued expansion of the US economy, albeit with a modest pace of growth. Globally, we see that some of the downside risks have moderated and China in particular has stabilised, increasing our confidence in the global economic outlook. Whilst we hold positive views on both equities and corporate bonds, we expect returns from these assets to be modest. In a world where rates continue to remain low and monetary policy relatively easy we continue to see support for assets with a yield, whether in the form of a dividend yield or a coupon.

Although these same global influences will be supportive of UK equities which are relatively high yielding, they remain exposed to the potential impact of Brexit. Current economic indicators suggest investors' worst fears may have been misplaced but confidence remains fragile as markets, corporates and consumers await further clarification on the UK's exit from the EU.

Given the Company's short life until its reconstruction at the end of November we envisage keeping the portfolio fully invested.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the six months ended 31st July 2016

   1.     Financial statements 

The information contained within the financial statements in this half year report has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditors.

The figures and financial information for the year ended 31st January 2016 are extracted from the latest published financial statements of the Company and do not constitute statutory accounts for that year. Those financial statements have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and included the report of the auditors which was unqualified and did not contain a statement under either section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

   2.     Accounting policies 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ('UK GAAP'), including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts' (the 'SORP') issued by the Association of Investment Companies in November 2014.

FRS 104, 'Interim Financial Reporting', issued by the Financial Reporting Council ('FRC') in March 2015 has been applied in preparing this condensed set of financial statements for the six months ended 31st July 2016.

The Company has a fixed life and will be wound up voluntarily on or around 30th November 2016. Therefore, these half year financial statements have been prepared under the 'break-up' basis. Fixed assets have been reclassified as current assets. The market value for investments is deemed to be a proxy for recoverable value. Creditors falling due after more than one year have been reclassified as current liabilities.

The accounting policies applied to this condensed set of financial statements are consistent with those applied in the financial statements for the year ended 31st January 2016.

In March 2016, the FRC published amendments to FRS 102 concerning fair value hierarchy disclosures. These amendments are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017. The Company has elected to adopt these amendments early in these interim financial statements. Full disclosure is given in note 7.
