AMJB uncapped digital notes offer SPX & RTY exposure to 2029
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Uncapped Digital Barrier Notes linked to the lesser performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on December 17, 2029.
The notes provide uncapped, unleveraged upside to any gain in the lesser-performing index, subject to a contingent digital return of at least 45.35%. If both indexes finish at or above their initial levels, investors receive the greater of this digital return or the actual lesser-index gain. If either index is below its initial level but both stay at or above 75% of initial (the barrier), investors receive only principal back. If either index falls below the 75% barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss in the lesser-performing index, and principal can be completely lost.
The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations, and will not be listed on an exchange. The indicative estimated value is about $968.40 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $940.00, reflecting structuring and hedging costs and creating a value below the issue price at inception.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Uncapped Digital Barrier Notes linked to the S&P 500 and Russell 2000?
The notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They offer uncapped, unleveraged exposure to the lesser-performing of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index over a term ending on December 17, 2029, with a built-in digital return feature and a downside barrier.
How does the payoff at maturity work for the AMJB notes?
At maturity, if the Final Value of each index is at or above its Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 plus the greater of the Contingent Digital Return (at least 45.35%) or the actual return of the lesser-performing index. If either index is below its Initial Value but both are at or above 75.00% of Initial (the Barrier Amount), investors receive only the $1,000 principal. If either index finishes below the 75% barrier, repayment becomes $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Lesser Performing Index Return, which can result in a substantial or total loss of principal.
What are the main risks of investing in these JPMorgan AMJB digital barrier notes?
Key risks include the possibility of losing more than 25% or all principal if the lesser-performing index closes below its 75% barrier, the absence of interest payments, and no dividends on index constituents. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are not listed on any exchange, so liquidity may be limited and secondary market prices may be significantly below the issue price.
What is the Contingent Digital Return and barrier level on the AMJB notes?
The Contingent Digital Return is at least 45.35%, to be finalized on the pricing date. If both indices end at or above their Initial Values, investors receive at least this percentage return, or more if the lesser-performing index has a higher positive return. The Barrier Amount for each index is 75.00% of its Initial Value; falling below this level for either index triggers full downside exposure to the lesser index’s loss.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes versus the issue price?
If the notes were priced on the reference date in the document, the estimated value would be approximately $968.40 per $1,000 principal amount note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $940.00 per $1,000. This is lower than the price to public because it excludes structuring fees, projected hedging profits, and hedging costs that are embedded in the issue price, which also means secondary market values are expected to start below $1,000.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB Uncapped Digital Barrier Notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors will not receive dividends on the stocks included in the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 2000 Index. All potential return is realized, if at all, only at maturity through the digital and index-linked payoff structure.
What are the key index exposures of the AMJB notes and why is small-cap risk highlighted?
The notes are linked to the S&P 500 Index, a broad U.S. large-cap benchmark, and the Russell 2000 Index, which tracks small-cap U.S. stocks. The risk discussion highlights that small-cap companies in the Russell 2000 may be more vulnerable to adverse conditions, less likely to pay dividends, and potentially more volatile, which can increase the chance that the lesser-performing index finishes below the barrier.
