JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) plans capped buffered equity notes on QQQ and S&P 500
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering capped buffered equity notes linked to the lesser performance of the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 and the S&P 500 Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes run to June 17, 2027 and provide 1.00x exposure to any gain in the weaker underlying, up to a maximum return of at least 36.85%, or at least $1,368.50 per $1,000 at maturity.
Investors receive no interest or dividends and benefit from a 15.00% downside buffer; if either underlying falls by more than 15%, principal loss matches the decline beyond the buffer, up to an 85.00% loss of principal. The preliminary estimated value is about $989.40 per $1,000, and at pricing will not be less than $960.00, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer funding assumptions. The notes are unsecured, not FDIC insured and will not be listed, so liquidity will rely on dealer bids.

How do the payoff and maximum return work on the JPMorgan AMJB capped buffered notes?
At maturity, if the Final Value of each underlying is above its Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus 1.00 times the Lesser Performing Underlying Return, capped at a Maximum Return of at least 36.85% (at least $1,368.50 per $1,000 note).

Do the JPMorgan AMJB capped buffered notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive dividends on the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 or on the stocks in either underlying. All potential return comes from the payoff at maturity based on the lesser performing underlying.
