JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) unveils digital barrier notes linked to DJIA, Nasdaq-100 and Russell 2000
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Digital Barrier Notes due June 8, 2027 linked separately to the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, Nasdaq-100 Index® and Russell 2000® Index. The notes target a fixed Contingent Digital Return of at least 12.75% at maturity if the Final Value of the least performing index is at or above 65% of its Initial Value on the June 3, 2027 observation date.
If any index finishes below the 65% barrier, principal is reduced 1% for every 1% decline in the least performing index, so investors can lose more than 35% and up to all of their principal. The notes pay no periodic interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and will not be listed on an exchange. The preliminary estimated value is about $982.80 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000.
