Valuation of Investments

The valuation of the investments is in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the J.P. Morgan Access Multi-Strategy Fund II’s (the “Fund”) valuation policies set forth by and under the supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which established the following approach to valuation, as described more fully below. The Fund values its investments in Investment Funds at fair value. Fair value as of each month-end ordinarily is the net asset value (“NAV”) determined as of such month-end for each Investment Fund in accordance with the Investment Fund’s valuation policies and reported at the time of the Fund’s valuation.

The Board has designated J.P. Morgan Private Investments Inc. (“JPMPI” or the “Administrator”), a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase”), as the Valuation Designee, and the Administrator uses the J.P. Morgan Access Multi-Strategy Funds’ Valuation Committee (“VC”), comprised of officers of the Fund and other personnel of the Administrator to assist the Board with the oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Fund’s investments with respect to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The VC oversees and carries out the policies for the valuation of investments held in the Fund as described in detail below. The Administrator is responsible for discussing and assessing the potential impacts to the fair values on an ongoing basis, and at least on a quarterly basis with the VC and the Board.

On a monthly basis, the NAV is used to determine the fair value of all underlying investments which (a) do not have readily determinable fair values and (b) either have the attributes of an investment company or prepare their financial statements consistent with measurement principles of an investment company. As a general matter, the fair value of the Fund’s interest in an Investment Fund will represent the amount that the Fund could reasonably expect to receive from an Investment Fund if the Fund’s interest were redeemed at the time of the valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made and that the Administrator believes to be reliable. In the unlikely event that an Investment Fund does not report a month-end NAV to the Fund on a timely basis, the Administrator would determine the fair value of such Investment Fund based on the most recent value reported by the Investment Fund, as well as any other relevant information available at such time. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the factors used to develop estimates at fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, a review of the underlying securities of the Investment Fund when available, ongoing due diligence of the style, strategy and valuation methodology employed by each Investment Fund, and a review of market inputs that may be expected to impact the performance of a particular Investment Fund. The use of different factors and estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value and could be material to the financial statements.

The Fund’s ability to liquidate an interest and withdraw from an Investment Fund will likely be limited, and certain Investment Funds may impose lock-up periods, during which time no redemptions or withdrawals may be made.

Some of the Investment Funds may invest all or a portion of their assets in investments which may be illiquid. Some of these investments are held in “side pockets,” sub funds within the Investment Funds, which provide for their separate liquidation potentially over a much longer period than the liquidity an investment in the Investment Funds may provide. Should the Fund seek to liquidate its investment in an Investment Fund which maintains investments in a side pocket arrangement or which holds substantially all of its assets in illiquid investments, the Fund might not be able to fully liquidate its investment without considerable delay. In such cases, the value of its investment could fluctuate during the period until the Fund is permitted to fully liquidate its interest in the Investment Funds.

Notes to Schedule of Investments December 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (continued)

 

 

 

Investments in affiliated and non-affiliated registered investment companies are valued at such fund’s NAV per share as of the valuation date.

Valuations reflected in this report are as of the report date. As a result, changes in valuation due to market events and/or issuer related events after the report date and prior to issuance of the report are not reflected herein.

The various inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – Unadjusted inputs using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments or other significant observable inputs.

Level 3 – Significant inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those instruments.

The Fund’s investments in affiliated and non-affiliated registered investment companies, as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments, are designated as Level 1.

As of December 31, 2023, Investment Funds with a fair value of $65,323,494 have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy as the Investment Funds were measured using the NAV per share as a practical expedient.
