Overview
The JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (JPST) is an ultra-short cash fund issued by JPMorgan with $42.1 billion in assets. It holds a C grade and ranks second among nine peers in its category, placing it 251st overall across all tracked ETFs. The fund’s 0.18% expense ratio sits slightly above the category median of 0.15%, while its 4.15% dividend yield aligns closely with the peer average of 4.14%. Top holdings represent only 10.6% of assets, with the largest position being the JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund at 2.9%.
Price action shows the fund trading at 11.9% of its 52-week range, indicating a position near the lower end of recent historical levels. Short-term returns have been modest, with one-month gains of 0.09% and a one-year return of 3.49% that trails the category median of 3.55%. Longer-term performance remains stronger, with three-year returns reaching 15.47%. The ETFValuer grade has remained unchanged at C over the last 35 tracked days, and price history is available for 3.0 years.
Risk metrics reflect a very low volatility profile, with an annualized standard deviation of 0.51% and a beta of 0.07 indicating minimal correlation to broader market movements. The maximum drawdown of -0.30% underscores the stability of the fund's recent price action. However, the Sharpe ratio of -2.96 suggests that risk-adjusted returns have been negative relative to the risk-free rate during the measurement period. High liquidity is evident from an average daily volume of 6,885,746 shares, facilitating easy entry and exit.

CBOE Volatility Index (VIX): 15.08 (as of 2026-10-07) — A real-time gauge of expected S&P 500 volatility over the next 30 days — useful context for this fund’s own volatility label.

JPST Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Average daily volume is 6.9M/day. Higher volume and a larger fund generally mean lower round-trip trading costs. AUM of $42.1B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: JPST is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
