History
Originally launched in 1887 under the name United British Securities Trust, the company underwent a rebranding to Fleming Overseas Investment Trust in 1982. In 2002, it took on the title JPMorgan Fleming Overseas Investment Trust. Following JPMorgan’s decision to retire the Fleming brand, it was renamed JPMorgan Overseas Investment Trust in 2006 before adopting its present designation in 2016.
In October 2021, a strategic review led to a proposal from Scottish Investment Trust to merge with JPMorgan Global Growth & Income. Although the board of JPMorgan endorsed this plan, shareholders were informed that completing the merger might require several months. Subsequently, in May 2025, a merger with Henderson International Income Trust was finalized, resulting in the cancellation of Henderson’s shares.
