JPMorgan AMJB MerQube Vol Advantage auto-call notes overview
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering structured Review Notes linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index, maturing on November 30, 2028. Each note has a $1,000 denomination and can be automatically called on scheduled Review Dates starting November 30, 2026 if the Index closes at or above 100% of its initial level, paying back $1,000 plus a call premium that starts at least 25.500% of principal and can reach at least 76.500% on the final Review Date.
If the notes are not called and the Index’s final level is at or above 75% of its initial level, investors receive their $1,000 principal at maturity. If the final level is below 75%, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the Index loss, and investors can lose all principal. The Index uses leveraged exposure of up to 500% to E-mini S&P 500 futures and is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, which drags performance. The estimated value is approximately $920 per $1,000 note on the trade date and will not be less than $900, and the notes pay no interest or dividends and are unsecured, uninsured obligations subject to JPMorgan credit risk.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan AMJB offering in this 424B2 pricing supplement?
The issuer is offering structured Review Notes linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index, maturing on November 30, 2028, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes feature automatic call provisions and principal at risk.
How do the automatic call features work on the JPMorgan AMJB MerQube notes?
On each scheduled Review Date starting November 30, 2026, if the Index closing level is at least 100% of its initial value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus a Call Premium Amount that starts at least 25.500% of principal on the first Review Date and rises to at least 76.500% on the final Review Date, with no further payments afterward.
What happens at maturity if the JPMorgan AMJB notes are not called early?
If not called and the Index’s Final Value is at or above the Barrier Amount of 75% of the Initial Value, investors receive the $1,000 principal per note. If the Final Value is below 75%, the maturity payment equals $1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return), so investors lose more than 25% of principal and can lose their entire investment.
How does the 6.0% per annum daily deduction affect the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index?
The Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, which reduces Index performance versus an identical index without this charge. This deduction offsets positive returns, amplifies negative returns and can cause the Index to decline even when its underlying futures strategy has modest gains, directly impacting potential note payouts.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB MerQube notes versus the price to public?
If priced on the date described, the estimated value would be approximately $920 per $1,000 principal amount note and will not be less than $900 per $1,000 when terms are set. The difference from the $1,000 price to public reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs included in the issue price.
What key risks are highlighted for investors in the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
Key risks include potential loss of some or all principal if the Index finishes below the 75% Barrier Amount, no interest or dividend payments, performance drag from the 6.0% daily deduction, exposure to leveraged futures, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of exchange listing and the likelihood that secondary market prices will be below the $1,000 issue price.
How does the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index gain exposure to the equity market?
The Index provides rules-based exposure to an unfunded rolling position in E-mini S&P 500 futures, with exposure set weekly to target 35% implied volatility, subject to a maximum 500% and minimum 0% exposure. It uses the implied volatility of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as a proxy to size this futures exposure.
