JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) auto callable barrier notes linked to MerQube index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable accelerated barrier notes linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index, maturing on January 21, 2031. The notes are issued in $1,000 denominations and may be automatically called as early as January 21, 2027 if the Index closes at or above 100% of its initial level on a Review Date.
If not called, holders receive at maturity an uncapped leveraged upside of 5.00 times any positive Index return. If the final Index level is at or above 50.00% of the initial level, principal is returned; below that 50% barrier, principal is reduced one-for-one with the Index decline, up to a total loss.
The Index embeds a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, which drags performance versus an identical index without such a charge. If priced on the date referenced in the document, the estimated value would be about $891.10 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $880.00 at pricing, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and issuer profit.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable accelerated barrier notes linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index?
These notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay no interest or dividends. They provide exposure to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index, with potential early automatic redemption at a premium and leveraged participation in Index gains at maturity, but also the risk of losing a significant portion or all of principal.

What downside protection and risks do the JPMorgan AMJB notes have?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value is at or above the Barrier Amount of 50.00% of the Initial Value, investors receive back their $1,000 principal per note. If the Final Value is below 50.00% of the Initial Value, the maturity payment is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return), so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% Index decline, which can result in losing more than 50.00% or even all of principal.
How does the 6.0% per annum daily deduction affect the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index and these notes?
The Index is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction. This charge offsets any appreciation and amplifies depreciation of the underlying E-mini S&P 500 futures, causing the Index to lag an identical index without a deduction. The document states this deduction will generally be a drag on performance and may cause the Index level to decline even when its investment strategy has positive returns, which directly affects the potential payouts on the notes.
