JPMorgan (AMJB) notes cap gains at 22.5% with 10% buffer, 2027
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering capped buffered equity notes linked to the lesser performer of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing on February 19, 2027. The notes provide 1.00x exposure to any positive return of the worse-performing index, up to a maximum return of at least 22.50%, so the maximum payment at maturity is at least $1,225 per $1,000 note.
Principal is protected only by a 10% downside buffer. If either index falls more than 10%, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% decline in the lesser-performing index, with losses up to 90% of principal. The notes pay no interest, provide no dividends, and are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The minimum denomination is $1,000. The issuer indicates that if the notes priced on the reference date, the estimated value would be about $972.10 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900, reflecting embedded costs, hedging, and dealer compensation, and secondary market liquidity may be limited.
