JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering $425,000 of auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, maturing on January 17, 2031, and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes pay a 7.00% per annum contingent interest (0.58333% per month, $5.8333 per $1,000) on each Interest Payment Date only if the Index on the related Review Date is at or above 42.00% of its Initial Value. Missed interest can be paid later if the barrier is met. Starting January 14, 2027, the notes are automatically called if the Index on a Review Date is at or above the Initial Value, returning $1,000 plus current and any unpaid interest.
If not called and the Final Value is at or above 85.00% of the Initial Value, principal is repaid in full plus applicable interest. Below that buffer, principal is reduced dollar-for-dollar beyond a 15.00% decline, with up to 85.00% loss of principal possible. The Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost that drag on performance. The notes price at $1,000 per denomination, with estimated value of $911.40 per $1,000, are unsecured and subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor.

What is the downside risk to principal on the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Index Final Value is below the Buffer Threshold of 85.00% of the Initial Value (10,286.0285), principal is reduced according to $1,000 + [$1,000 × (Index Return + 15.00%)].

How does the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index affect these notes?
The Index targets a 35% implied volatility exposure to an unfunded position in the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1, with exposure between 0% and 500%. It is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a daily notional financing cost based on SOFR plus 0.50%, which reduce Index performance and may cause it to trail a similar index without such deductions.
What is the estimated value versus the issue price of the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes are sold at a price to public of $1,000 per note, but the estimated value at pricing was $911.40 per $1,000 note. The difference reflects selling commissions of $39 per $1,000, projected hedging profits or losses, and estimated hedging costs embedded in the original issue price.
What key risks are highlighted for investors in these JPMorgan structured notes?
Key risks include potential loss of up to 85.00% of principal, the possibility of no contingent interest if the Index stays below the Interest Barrier, performance drag from the 6.0% daily deduction and notional financing cost, leverage in the Index that can amplify losses, credit risk of JPMorgan entities, lack of liquidity since the notes are not exchange-listed, and potential conflicts of interest related to JPMorgan’s role with the Index Sponsor and in hedging the notes.
