JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) issues step-up auto callable notes tied to S&P Global 100 index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering step-up auto callable notes linked to the S&P® Global 100 PR 5% Daily Risk Control 0.5% Deduction Index (USD) ER, expected to settle on or about December 23, 2025 and mature on December 23, 2032.
The notes can be automatically called as early as December 22, 2026 if the Index closes at or above preset call values, paying $1,000 per note plus a fixed call premium that steps up over six review dates. If not called, at maturity investors receive $1,000 per note plus any upside based on the Index return with a 100% participation rate, but no less than principal, all subject to the credit risk of the issuer and guarantor.
The Index targets 5% annualized volatility, applies daily notional financing costs and a 0.50% per annum deduction, and may often be significantly uninvested. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured, not FDIC insured, and may have limited liquidity. If priced today, the estimated value would be about $913.60 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00 when finalized.
