SEC's Collection of Information

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Filing of Form N-17f-2 is mandatory for an investment company that has custody of securities or similar investments. Rule 17f-2 under section 17(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires the investment company to retain an independent public accountant to verify the company's securities and similar investments by actual examination three times during each fiscal year. The accountant must prepare a certificate stating that the examination has occurred and describing the examination, and must transmit the certificate to the Commission with Form N-17f-2 as a cover sheet. The Commission uses the Form to ensure that the certificate is properly attributed to the investment company. The Commission estimates that the burden of completing Form N-17f-2 is approximately 1.0 hours per filing. Any member of the public may direct to the Commission any comments concerning the accuracy of the burden estimate of this Form, and any suggestions for reducing this burden. This collection of information has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget in accordance with the clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C. § 3507. Responses to this collection of information will not be kept confidential.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust IV

We have examined management's assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that each fund listed in Appendix A (each a separate series of JPMorgan Trust IV) (the "Funds") complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") (the "specified requirements") as of September 24, 2025. The Funds' management is responsible for its assertion and the Funds' compliance with the specified requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the Funds' compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether management's assertion about compliance with the specified requirements is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether management's assertion is fairly stated in all material respects, and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Funds' compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The nature, timing and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of management's assertion, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of September 24, 2025, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales or maturities, for the period from our last examination date (as detailed in Appendix A), through September 24, 2025:

Count and inspection of all securities located in the vault of J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "Custodian") at 780 Delta Dr., Monroe, LA 71203 without prior notice to management;

Confirmation of all securities held at the Depository Trust Company, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the Euronext Securities Copenhagen (the "depositories") in book entry form and test the completeness and accuracy of the reconciliation procedures performed by the Custodian at an omnibus level between the depositories and the books and records of the Custodian;

Confirmation of security positions held by the Custodian at foreign sub-custodians and test the completeness and accuracy of the reconciliation procedures performed by the Custodian at an omnibus level between the foreign sub-custodians and the books and records of the Custodian;

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

www.pwc.com/us (646) 471 3000

Reconciliation of all securities shown on the books and records of the Funds to the statements from the Custodian;

Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers/banks, or where replies were not received, the application of alternative procedures; and

Agreement of 3 security purchases and 3 security sales or maturities since our last report from the books and records of the Funds to broker confirmations or, where broker replies were not received, the application of alternative procedures.

Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds' compliance with the specified requirements.

We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements related to the engagement.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Funds complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of September 24, 2025 with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Funds is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of JPMorgan Trust IV and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
