Insights
Routine structured note issuance with high coupon and principal-at-risk.
JPMorgan Chase Financial offers auto-callable notes paying a 17.65% contingent annual rate ($14.7083 monthly) when the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index closes at or above the 70% barrier. Auto-call can occur quarterly if the Index is at or above the Initial Value, beginning April 10, 2026.
Principal is at risk below the 50% Trigger Value at maturity, with losses matching Index decline and potential total loss. The Index embeds a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, which reduces index levels versus a no-deduction construct and can suppress coupon qualification and redemption outcomes.
Economics include price to public of $1,000, fees of $2.50 per note, issuer proceeds of $997.50 per note, total proceeds $8,699,197.50, and an estimated value of $924.50 per $1,000. Secondary values may trend below issue price per the issuer’s disclosures.
