Uncapped S&P 500 futures notes from JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB)
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes target an uncapped gain of at least 1.97 times any positive index return at maturity, with a barrier set at 70% of the initial index level.
If the final index level is above the initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus the leveraged upside. If it is at or above the 70% barrier but not higher than the initial level, investors receive only their $1,000 principal. If the index closes below the barrier on the observation date, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the index loss, and investors can lose all principal.
The notes pay no periodic interest, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and will not be listed on any exchange. The issuer indicates that, if priced on the date of the example, the estimated value would be approximately $959.70 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 at pricing, reflecting embedded costs and hedging factors.
