JPMorgan Chase (AMJB) offers capped notes tied to Russell 2000 and Dow
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering structured capped notes linked to the lesser performer of the Russell 2000 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are expected to price around December 15, 2025, settle around December 18, 2025, and mature on December 19, 2030, in minimum denominations of $1,000, with repayment of principal at maturity subject to the credit risks of the issuer and guarantor.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB capped notes linked to the Russell 2000 and Dow?
The AMJB notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are capped notes whose payoff depends on the performance of the lesser performing of the Russell 2000 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the life of the notes, with repayment of the $1,000 principal amount at maturity, subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk.
How does the payoff at maturity work for JPMorgan AMJB notes?
At maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount AMJB note, investors receive $1,000 plus an Additional Amount. This Additional Amount equals $1,000 multiplied by the Lesser Performing Index Return times the 100.00% participation rate, but not less than zero and not more than the Maximum Amount. If either index finishes at or below its initial level, the Additional Amount is zero and only principal is repaid.
What is the maximum return on JPMorgan AMJB capped notes?
The notes offer a maximum return of at least 48.00% over the term. This is implemented as a Maximum Amount of at least $480.00 per $1,000 note. Even if the lesser performing index rises more than about 48%, the payment at maturity is capped at $1,480.00 per $1,000 principal amount note based on the illustrative Maximum Amount.
Do AMJB investors receive interest or dividends during the term?
No. The AMJB notes do not pay periodic interest and investors do not receive dividends on the stocks in either index. All potential return comes from the Additional Amount, if any, paid at maturity based on the performance of the lesser performing index.
What are key risks of investing in JPMorgan AMJB capped notes?
Key risks include that the notes may not pay more than principal if either index is at or below its initial level, and upside is limited by the Maximum Amount. Investors face the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no interest or dividends, and lack of liquidity because the notes will not be listed. There are also risks from potential conflicts of interest, small-cap exposure via the Russell 2000 Index, and secondary market prices likely being below the original issue price.
How does the estimated value compare to the price for JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The price to public per AMJB note is $1,000. The document states that if the notes priced today, the estimated value would be approximately $950.00 per $1,000 note, and that the estimated value when terms are set will not be less than $920.00 per $1,000 note. The difference reflects selling commissions, projected profits from hedging and estimated hedging costs included in the issue price.
