Buffered S&P 500 futures notes from JPMorgan (AMJB) due 2031
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Buffered Digital Dual Directional Notes linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index, maturing on January 28, 2031. The notes provide uncapped, unleveraged upside to any index gain, with a contingent minimum return of at least 44.30% if the final index level is at or above the initial level.
If the index declines by up to 15%, investors receive a positive return equal to the size of that decline, capped at 15%. If the index falls by more than 15%, principal is reduced 1% for each additional 1% drop, so investors can lose up to 85% of principal at maturity.
The notes pay no interest, are unsecured obligations, are not bank deposits and are not FDIC-insured. They will not be listed on an exchange, and secondary market prices are expected to be below the $1,000 issue price. The current estimated value is about $946.90 per $1,000 note and will not be set below $900.00 when finalized, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer funding assumptions.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Buffered Digital Dual Directional Notes?
These notes are unsecured debt of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay a maturity amount tied to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index rather than periodic interest. The payoff depends on the index level on the January 23, 2031 observation date.
How does the payoff on the AMJB notes work at maturity?
If the final index level is at or above the initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus the greater of the contingent digital return (at least 44.30%) or the actual index return. If the index is down by up to 15%, investors receive $1,000 plus the absolute value of that decline, up to a 15% gain. If the index is down by more than 15%, principal is reduced 1% for each additional 1% loss beyond the 15% buffer.
What are the main risks of investing in these JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Investors can lose up to 85.00% of principal if the index falls by more than the 15.00% buffer. The notes pay no interest, are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited and any sale before maturity could be at a substantial discount.
What is the contingent digital return and buffer on the AMJB notes?
The notes feature a Contingent Digital Return of at least 44.30% if the final index value is at or above the initial value. They also include a 15.00% buffer against index declines: for drops of up to 15%, investors get a positive return equal to the decline; for larger drops, losses begin beyond that 15% threshold.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes versus the $1,000 price?
If priced on the date shown, the estimated value would be approximately $946.90 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. The difference from the $1,000 price reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and the issuer’s internal funding rate.
What index underlies the AMJB Buffered Digital Dual Directional Notes?
The notes are linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index (Bloomberg: SPXFP). This index tracks the excess return of the nearest maturing E-mini® S&P 500® futures contracts, including the impact of rolling from expiring contracts into later maturities and does not include any interest on collateral.
When do the JPMorgan AMJB notes start and mature?
The notes are expected to price on or about January 23, 2026, settle on or about January 28, 2026, use an observation date of January 23, 2031 and mature on January 28, 2031, subject to possible postponement for market disruption.
