High-yield JPMorgan (AMJB) notes link to Dow, tech, small caps
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes due July 27, 2027 linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and the Russell 2000 Index.
The notes pay a contingent interest rate of at least 10.50% per year, paid monthly, but only if on a review date each index is at or above 70% of its initial level; otherwise no interest is paid for that period. Starting with the April 22, 2026 review date, the notes are automatically called if every index is at or above its initial value, returning principal plus the applicable interest and ending the investment.
If the notes are not called and at maturity any index is below 70% of its initial level, investors’ principal is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the worst-performing index, which can mean a loss of all principal. An illustrative estimated value is about $979.20 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900. The notes are unsecured, not FDIC insured, not listed on an exchange and carry market, sector, small-cap, non-U.S. securities, liquidity and tax risks.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable contingent interest notes?
The notes are unsecured structured debt issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay contingent interest and may be called early based on the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and the Russell 2000 Index.
How do investors in JPMorgan AMJB notes earn interest?
On each review date, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $8.75 per $1,000 in principal (at least 10.50% per annum) only if the closing level of each index is at or above 70% of its initial value. If any index is below that barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB notes be automatically called?
On any review date other than the first, second and final dates, starting with April 22, 2026, the notes are automatically called if the closing level of each index is at or above its initial value. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent interest, and the notes terminate.
What happens at maturity of the JPMorgan AMJB notes if they are not called?
If the notes are not called and on the final review date every index is at or above its 70% trigger value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final contingent interest payment. If any index is below 70% of its initial level, the maturity payment becomes $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the worst-performing index, which can mean losing more than 30% and up to all principal.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes versus the price to public?
If the notes were priced on the reference date in the document, the estimated value would be about $979.20 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900 per $1,000 note. This is lower than the $1,000 price to public because it reflects selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer funding assumptions.
What key risks do investors face with the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
Investors face the risk of losing a significant portion or all principal if the worst-performing index finishes below its trigger level, and the risk of receiving no interest if any index is below its interest barrier on review dates. Additional risks include credit risk of the issuer and guarantor, lack of liquidity since the notes are not exchange-listed, exposure to small-cap stocks, the technology sector and non-U.S. securities, and uncertain tax treatment.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay dividends from the underlying indices?
No. Investors in the notes do not receive dividends or have any voting or ownership rights in the stocks that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index or the Russell 2000 Index. The notes only reference index levels for determining interest and principal payments.
