JPMorgan (AMJB) offers notes on S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering unsecured structured notes linked to the lesser performer of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index and the Nasdaq-100 Index®, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are expected to price on or about January 30, 2026 and mature on February 4, 2031.
At maturity, if both indices finish above their initial levels, investors receive the $1,000 principal plus an Additional Amount equal to $1,000 × the return of the lesser-performing index × a participation rate of at least 143.35%. If either index is at or below its initial level, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the lesser-performing index return, but not less than $950 per $1,000 note, so investors may lose up to 5% of principal.
The notes pay no interest, do not provide dividends on underlying equities, and are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. They will not be listed on any exchange, and secondary market prices are expected to be below the original issue price. If priced today, the estimated value would be about $976.10 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00 when set.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes linked to the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return and Nasdaq-100 indices?
These are unsecured structured notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., whose payoff depends on the performance of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index and the Nasdaq-100 Index®. The return is based on the lesser-performing index over the term to February 4, 2031.
How is the maturity payment on the AMJB structured notes calculated?
If the final level of each index is above its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus an Additional Amount of $1,000 × the lesser-performing index return × a participation rate of at least 143.35%. If either index is at or below its initial level, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the lesser-performing index return, but not less than $950.00 per $1,000 note.
Is principal protected on these JPMorgan AMJB notes and what is the downside risk?
The notes offer a minimum payment of $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity, so investors may lose up to 5.00% of principal if the lesser-performing index finishes below its initial level. There is no protection against inflation or opportunity cost, and all payments are subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Do the AMJB notes pay interest or provide dividends from the underlying indices?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive dividends from the securities in the Nasdaq-100 Index® or economic rights in the futures contracts underlying the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index. All return comes from the maturity payment formula.
What is the estimated value and pricing of the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
The preliminary document states that if the notes priced on the reference date, the estimated value would be approximately $976.10 per $1,000 note, and when terms are set it will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 note. The original issue price will include selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs, so it will exceed the estimated value.
What key risks are highlighted for investors in the AMJB notes?
Key risks include potential loss of up to 5.00% of principal at maturity, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., no interest or dividend payments, lack of liquidity since the notes will not be listed on an exchange, and the likelihood that any secondary market price will be below the original issue price. Performance also depends on complex futures-based and equity index dynamics.
