Structured index notes from JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB)
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering capped dual directional buffered equity notes linked to the lesser performer of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the S&P 500 Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Each note has a $1,000 denomination and provides unleveraged exposure to gains in the weaker index, with a Maximum Upside Return of at least 14.05% and a 20.00% downside buffer.
At maturity, investors can gain if both indices rise, or if the lesser-performing index is flat or down by up to 20%, with upside on the absolute move of that index, capped at 20% in a negative scenario. If either index falls by more than 20%, principal loss is dollar-for-dollar beyond the buffer, up to a maximum loss of 80% of principal. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and are not bank deposits or FDIC-insured.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) capped dual directional buffered equity notes?
These notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that link returns to the lesser performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the S&P 500 Index. They offer capped upside participation and a downside buffer, but expose investors to significant principal risk and issuer credit risk.
How do returns work on these AMJB notes at maturity?
If the final level of each index is above its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus a gain equal to the Lesser Performing Index Return, capped by a Maximum Upside Return of at least 14.05%. If the lesser-performing index is flat or down by up to 20.00%, investors receive $1,000 plus the absolute decline of that index, up to a 20% gain.
What happens if the indices fall more than the 20% buffer on the JPMorgan notes?
If the final value of either index is below its initial value by more than the 20.00% Buffer Amount, the payment per $1,000 note is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the sum of the Lesser Performing Index Return and the buffer. This means investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% decline beyond 20%, with losses up to 80.00% of principal in severe downside scenarios.
Do the AMJB structured notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive dividends from any securities in the Nasdaq-100 Index or S&P 500 Index. All potential return is realized, if at all, only at maturity based on index performance.
What are the main risks of investing in these JPMorgan Chase Financial notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing up to 80.00% of principal if the lesser-performing index falls more than 20%, limited upside due to the Maximum Upside Return and buffer caps, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of liquidity since the notes will not be listed on an exchange, and the fact that the estimated value of the notes is lower than the $1,000 issue price.
What is the estimated value and how does it compare to the price of the AMJB notes?
If the notes priced on the example date, the estimated value would be about $987.90 per $1,000 principal amount note, and at pricing it will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 note. The difference from the $1,000 price reflects selling commissions, structuring and hedging costs, and projected profits for JPMorgan affiliates.
When do these JPMorgan dual directional buffered notes start and mature?
The notes are expected to price on or about January 30, 2026, settle on or about February 4, 2026, use an Observation Date of July 30, 2027, and have a scheduled Maturity Date of August 4, 2027, subject to possible postponement for market disruption events.
