JPMorgan Chase Financial offers uncapped basket-linked barrier notes due 2030
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes due December 27, 2030 linked to an unequally weighted basket of four equity underlyings. The basket allocates 40% to the S&P 500® Index, 30% to the Russell 2000® Index, 20% to the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and 10% to the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF.
At maturity, if the basket has risen, investors receive their $1,000 principal plus at least 1.05 times the basket’s gain. If the basket is flat or down but not below 65% of its initial value, investors receive only principal back. If the basket finishes below this 65% barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the basket loss, and all principal can be lost.
The notes pay no interest, do not provide dividends from the underlyings, are unsecured obligations subject to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. credit risk, and will not be listed on an exchange. The indicative estimated value is about $980.60 per $1,000, and will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 when finalized.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the equity basket?
The notes are structured debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They offer leveraged, uncapped exposure to an unequally weighted basket made up of the S&P 500® Index, the Russell 2000® Index, the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF.
How does the payoff at maturity work for these JPMorgan basket-linked notes?
At maturity, if the Final Basket Value is above the Initial Basket Value (set to 100.00), investors receive $1,000 plus $1,000 × Basket Return × an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.05. If the Final Basket Value is between 65% and 100% of the Initial Basket Value, investors get only their $1,000 principal. Below 65%, repayment is $1,000 + $1,000 × Basket Return, so losses mirror the basket decline and can reach 100% of principal.
What role does the 65% barrier play in these JPMorgan Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes?
The Barrier Amount is 65.00% of the Initial Basket Value. As long as the Final Basket Value is at or above this level, principal is repaid in full, even if the basket is down. If the Final Basket Value falls below 65%, this protection ends and investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% the basket is below its initial level, potentially losing the entire $1,000 per note.
What are the key risks of investing in these JPMorgan structured notes?
Key risks include the potential to lose all principal if the basket closes below the 65% barrier, no interest payments, and no dividends from any underlying. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Financial, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so investors face the credit risk of both entities. The notes will not be listed on an exchange, and secondary market prices may be lower than the original issue price.
How is the underlying basket for these JPMorgan notes constructed and weighted?
The basket combines four underlyings with fixed weights: 40.00% S&P 500® Index, 30.00% Russell 2000® Index, 20.00% iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF and 10.00% iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF. Because the two U.S. indices together are 70% of the basket, the notes’ value and final payout will generally depend more on their performance than on the ETFs.
What is the estimated value of these JPMorgan Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes?
If the notes were priced on the date referenced, the estimated value would be approximately $980.60 per $1,000 principal amount note. The issuer states that when the terms are finalized, the estimated value will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 note. This estimated value is lower than the price to public because it excludes selling commissions, projected hedging profits and hedging costs embedded in the issue price.
