J.P. Morgan Alternative Index Multi-Strategy 5 (USD)

OVERVIEW

The J.P. Morgan Alternative Index Multi-Strategy 5 (USD) (the "Index" or "AI
Multi-Strategy 5") provides exposure to a portfolio of absolute return
strategies and aims to generate consistent positive returns with low
correlation to traditional asset classes. The underlying strategies are
selected from three investment styles (Momentum, Carry and Satellite) and cover
several asset classes. Index weights are rebalanced monthly to target a
volatility of up to 5%. The Index is algorithmic, with daily levels published
to Bloomberg. The Index is constructed as an excess return index.

Investment Styles

[] Momentum: Aims to exploit the observed tendency of many markets to trend up
or down for sustained periods of time.

[] Carry: Seeks to capitalize on the value differential between certain assets
and is typically implemented by notionally buying an asset that is on a
relative basis higher yielding (or lower priced) and selling an asset that is
lower yielding (or higher priced).

[] Satellite: Consists of mean reversion and short volatility strategies.  Mean
reversion seeks to capitalize on the view that over the short term markets are
cyclical -- meaning that an upward trend is usually followed by a downward
trend and vice versa.  Short volatility aims to exploit the observed tendency
of the implied volatility of an equity index to be higher than the volatility
realized by the index.

Hypothetical historical correlation of Index to hedge fund indices, equities
and bonds


HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index (excess return) 17%
CS Tremont Hedge Fund Index (excess return)        26%
MSCI World (excess returns)                        10%
Global Government Bonds (excess return)            13%


Source: J.P. Morgan. PAST PERFORMANCE AND BACK-TESTED PERFORMANCE ARE NOT
INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Correlation is a number between -1 and 1 and
represents the degree to which two indices move together. Correlations are
based on monthly returns over the period from Dec 1996 to Apr 2010 for the
hedge fund indices and on daily returns over the period from Dec 1996 to May
2010 for the equity and bond indices.

Key Features

[] Robust approach spanning multiple investment styles and asset classes, and
targeting up to a 5% volatility.

[] Hypothetical, historical excess returns of 7.6%  per annum with a volatility
less than 5% and low correlation to traditional asset classes.  Such
performance is not indicative of future results.

[] Constructed using instruments widely viewed to be liquid.

[] Rules-based algorithm with daily index levels published to Bloomberg
(ticker: AIJPM5UE)

[] Fees: The Index level incorporates a 0.80%  p. a.  adjustment factor and
notional transaction costs.

PERFORMANCE ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Performance statistics are
calculated using monthly returns. Annualized Excess Return is based on
compounded performance of the excess return index over the specified period.
Annualized Volatility represents the standard deviation of monthly returns
scaled to one year. The Sharpe Ratio is the Annualized Excess Return divided by
the Annualized Volatility.

other adjustments relating to notional transaction costs. 'HFRI Fund Weighted

Index Multi-Strategy 5 (USD) and underlying strategies. The Index is
constructed using transparent market instruments. It is not a hedge fund and

What are the main risks in the Index?
Any securities we may issue linked to the Index may result in a loss, and are
exposed to J.P. Morgan Chase and Co. credit risk. The Index and underlying
strategies have limited operating history.
The reported level of the Index and most of the underlying strategies will
include the deduction of an adjustment factor. The Index may not be successful,
may not outperform any alternative strategy or achieve its 5% target
volatility.
The portfolio of underlying strategies may not be a diversified portfolio.
The Index involves monthly rebalancing and caps the sum of the weights of all
underlying strategies, at rebalance, to 200%. It is possible, although
unlikely, for the weight of a single underlying strategy to be close to 200%.
There are risks associated with momentum, carry, mean reversion or short
volatility investment strategies.
The Index comprises only notional assets and liabilities. Some underlying
strategies include notional short positions. Correlation of performances among
the underlying strategies may reduce the performance of the Index.
The Index is an excess return index and reflects the performance of unfunded or
uncollateralized investments in the assets underlying the Index.
Commodity futures contracts underlying some of the strategies are subject to
uncertain legal and regulatory regimes.
Our affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. ("JPMSL"), is the Sponsor and
Calculation Agent for the Index and underlying strategies. JPMSL may adjust the
Index or any underlying strategy in a way that affects its level.
The Index is subject to risks associated with currency exchange, interest
rates, non-US securities markets and the use of leverage and futures
contracts.
