What are the reasons to upgrade to my browser to the latest version?
Having the most recent version of a browser ensures that you will have access to all of the latest features and enhancements. Pages designed for the latest browsers can follow accepted standards, which means less code and, ultimately, faster downloads. In addition, many old browsers have known bugs or security holes that unscrupulous websites can take advantage of. Upgrading to the latest version will help you protect yourself.

Return to top of pageWhat is computer encryption?
Computer-based encryption is the translation of information into a secret code by one computer, readable only by another computer with the correct decoding key. Messages using computer encryption have billions of possible key combinations. Since only the computers on both ends of the transaction know which key combination is in use during the session, encoding enables messages to be sent securely over the internet. Furthermore, a new key combination is used for each session. The result is rock-solid security for your financial transactions. Even though your data is transmitted over a public network, anyone attempting to read it would only see a string of numbers and characters.
Return to top of pageWhy the 128-bit security?
J.P. Morgan is concerned about the security of your transactions. Our success as a financial institution depends on our ability to manage these systems safely and to continue to earn your trust as our customer. By requiring 128-bit encryption, we are assuring the highest level of commercially available security for your financial transactions.
Return to top of pageHow do I check my browser to make sure it is compliant?
To check your browser's version and encryption level, follow the steps below. Even if you are not using our account access feature, you may still want to upgrade to the 128-bit secure versions of your browser. This will enable you to use all the functionality of our site and others. You can find these browser security updates at Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Internet Explorer®:
- Look under the Help menu and select About Internet Explorer®, this will display both the browser's version and cipher strength (level of encryption.)
Firefox®:
- Look under the Help menu and select About Mozilla Firefox®. This will display information similar to the following: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox®/1.5.0.4. After the platform information (Windows or Macintosh) there will be either a "U" or an "I." A "U" indicates that you are using the U.S. version, with sufficient (128-bit) encryption. An "I" indicates you are using the international version, which has a lower encryption level (40-bit), and should therefore upgrade.
What is eDelivery from J.P. Morgan Funds?
eDelivery is a free service provided by J.P. Morgan Funds which allows shareholders to be notified by e-mail when certain publications, such as fund prospectuses, annual reports, and proxy statements, become available online. Documents not available online will continue to be mailed. While many shareholders find eDelivery more convenient than postal delivery, printed copies may still be requested on our website or through our service center.
