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 28th February 2023 of 102.16 pence per share. During the quarter to 28th February 2023 the Company paid a dividend of 1.05 pence per share on 24th February 2023, bringing the NAV total return for the quarter to +0.3% and +11.8% for the year, while the total share price return for the year to 28th February 2023 was +7.0%.

An analysis of the components to this NAV and the relevant dates for their valuation is provided below:

Strategies

Across both public and private allocations, and measured in local currency, JARA's real estate exposure contributed -0.81% whilst infrastructure and transportation contributed +0.14%. This again, shows stable, resilient returns during a period which was volatile for many private assets. This was driven by JARA's diversification across different real asset types and geographies, in both equity and debt. The US dollar delivered a drag to performance over the Company's quarter to 28th February 2023 due to its decline versus sterling*. This was offset by the positive currency moves seen in the private strategies during their latest quarterly cycle (quarter end dates given in the table above).

* The GBP/USD exchange rate was 1.21065 as at 28th February 2023.

Dividends

The most recent quarterly dividend of 1.05 pence per share was paid to shareholders on 24th February 2023.  This brings the total dividends for the year to 28th February 2023 to 4.05 pence per share which represents a current annualised yield of 4.67%*, and 4.05% on issue price. The Board continues to expect the 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 28th February 2023.

Issued Share Capital

As at 28th February 2023, there were 219,407,952 shares in issue.

Private Asset Portfolio Metrics

Please see below for the metrics of JARA's private investments. As at 28th February 2023, private asset exposure represented 82% of JARA's NAV, stable compared to the previous quarter.

Investments

·    335 private investments and, at a more granular individual asset level, look through exposure to 1,230 individual assets (30th November 2022: 1,203)

Private Portfolio Operating Metrics

Discount Rates

The blended average discount rate is 7.9%. The asset level discount rate will vary by strategy, with real estate, including debt currently having a blended rate of 7.5% and Infrastructure and Transport being 9.2%. The increase in the real estate discount rate has been driven by the inclusion of the debt allocation in this number. The blended average discount rate at the portfolio level has increased over the last couple of quarters reflecting the higher rate environment the Company now operates in.

Lease Duration

·    4.8 years average lease duration in real estate and transportation, with under 10% expected to expire in 2023.

Occupancy

·    96% occupancy of leased assets in real estate and transportation, with Q4 2022 collections being in line with expectations. At an overall portfolio level, occupancy and income receipts are in line with what the Manager expects.

Loan To Value (LTV)

·    37% portfolio weighted average loan to value across private assets. Asset level LTVs will vary by strategy with the real estate average LTV of 25% and Infrastructure and Transport blended LTV of 47%. The underlying strategies continue to take a conservative view on overall leverage use.

Debt

·    3.7% blended average cost of debt across the strategies, with 77.4% being fixed and 22.6% floating and a weighted average maturity of 5.2 years.

Development Profile

·    Each underlying strategy has the capacity to engage in a small degree of development with the private asset portfolio having less than 3% exposure to development assets. This small allocation allows the Manager, where appropriate, to capitalise on areas where construction is a more effective way to gain access to assets or sectors due to the rich pricing in the secondary market. Currently the development allocation is mainly focused on areas such as residential housing and energy transportation.

We would expect construction exposure across JARA's portfolio to remain relatively low on an aggregate basis.

The main currency exposures of the portfolio (including liquidity funds) are as follows:
