JPMorgan offers leveraged notes tied to MerQube tech index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are expected to price on or about August 3, 2026 and mature on August 7, 2031, in minimum denominations of $1,000.
At maturity, if the Index has risen, investors receive $1,000 plus the Index gain multiplied by an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 2.91. If the Final Index Level is at or above 50.00% of the Initial Value, principal is returned. If the Final Value is below this barrier, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% Index decline from the Initial Value, so investors can lose more than half or all of their principal.
The Index embeds a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a daily notional financing cost on its QQQ-based exposure, which creates a persistent drag versus a comparable index without these deductions and may cause the Index to decline even when its underlying strategy is positive. The indicative estimated value would be about $946.20 per $1,000 note, and will not be set below $920.00 per $1,000. The notes pay no interest, offer no dividends from the QQQ Fund, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Financial, and are subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and JPMorgan Chase & Co., with limited liquidity and potentially lower secondary market values.
