FAQ
What is JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offering in this 424B2 document?
The company is offering Capped Notes Linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust due January 20, 2027. These are unsecured, unsubordinated structured notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., with returns tied to the performance of the SPDR® Gold Trust rather than to a fixed interest rate.
How do the capped notes linked to SPDR Gold Trust determine the payment at maturity?
At maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount note, if the Final Value of the SPDR® Gold Trust is greater than the Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus an Additional Amount equal to $1,000 × Fund Return × the 125.00% Participation Rate, but not more than the Maximum Amount of at least $163.10. If the Final Value is equal to or less than the Initial Value, the payment equals $1,000 + ($1,000 × Fund Return), with a minimum of $900.00 per $1,000 note.
What is the maximum potential return and downside protection on these JPMorgan SPDR Gold Trust notes?
The notes cap upside at a maximum return of at least 16.31%, illustrated by a hypothetical Maximum Amount of $163.10 per $1,000 note. On the downside, if the SPDR® Gold Trust falls, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the Fund, but the payment at maturity will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 note, meaning up to a 10.00% principal loss is possible.
Do the JPMorgan capped notes linked to SPDR Gold Trust pay interest or offer liquidity?
The notes do not pay interest. They are not listed on any securities exchange, and liquidity will depend on the price, if any, at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy them in the secondary market. The document states that the notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, and investors should be able and willing to hold the notes to maturity.
What are the key risks of the AMJB capped notes tied to the SPDR Gold Trust?
Key risks include: potential loss of up to 10.00% of principal at maturity; a cap on gains via the Maximum Amount regardless of how much the Fund appreciates; credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.; lack of interest payments; and limited liquidity because the notes will not be listed. The document also highlights that the estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original issue price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.
