JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) prices buffered notes tied to Russell 2000 and S&P 500
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $2.17 million of Capped Dual Directional Buffered Equity Notes linked to the lesser performing of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing in December 2030 and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes provide unleveraged upside to index gains up to a Maximum Upside Return of 58.80%, and upside exposure to index declines through a 30.00% buffer, so modest losses in the weaker index can still generate positive returns at maturity.
If either index falls by more than 30.00%, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% decline, up to a 70.00% loss of principal. The price to the public is $1,000 per note, including $41.25 in fees and commissions, while the issuer’s estimated value is $946.60 per $1,000, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor, and will not be listed on any exchange.
