JPMorgan (AMJB) S&P 500 capped buffered notes outline upside cap and 15% buffer
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Capped Buffered Equity Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on December 23, 2027. These structured notes give 1.00x exposure to any positive Index performance, but gains are capped at a maximum return of at least 21.90%, so the maximum payment at maturity is at least $1,219 per $1,000 note.
The notes include a 15.00% downside buffer: if the S&P 500® falls by up to 15% from the pricing date to the observation date, investors receive full principal back at maturity. If the Index declines by more than 15%, principal is reduced 1% for each additional 1% drop, up to a maximum loss of 85.00%, so investors could receive as little as $150 per $1,000 note.
The notes pay no interest, do not pass through S&P 500® dividends, and are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. If priced on the example date, the estimated value would be about $982.90 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 when finalized, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Capped Buffered Equity Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index?
The AMJB notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.. They provide exposure to the S&P 500® Index with a capped upside return and a 15.00% downside buffer, and return depends on the Index level at maturity.
How is the return on the AMJB S&P 500 capped buffered notes calculated at maturity?
If the S&P 500® Final Value is above the Initial Value, each note pays $1,000 plus 1.00x the Index return, but no more than a maximum return of at least 21.90% (at least $1,219 per $1,000 note). If the Index is flat or down by up to 15.00%, investors receive $1,000. Below a 15.00% decline, principal is reduced 1% for each extra 1% drop.
What downside protection do the JPMorgan AMJB notes offer?

Do the AMJB S&P 500 capped buffered notes pay interest or dividends?
