JPMorgan (AMJB) outlines auto-callable notes on Russell 2000, Nasdaq tech, utilities
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto-callable structured review notes linked to the worst performer of the Russell 2000 Index, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The notes mature on December 24, 2030 and can be automatically called as early as December 23, 2026 if each underlying is at or above 100% of its initial value. On a call date, holders receive $1,000 per note plus a call premium that starts at at least 13% of principal and steps up over time to at least 65% on the final review date.
If the notes are not called, principal is repaid at maturity only if every underlying stays at or above 70% of its initial value; otherwise repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the worst performer, and all principal can be lost. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan entities, and the estimated initial value is indicated at about $948.10 per $1,000, and will not be less than $900.00.

FAQ
What are the AMJB review notes and what are they linked to?
The AMJB notes are auto-callable structured notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are linked to the least performing of three underlyings: the Russell 2000 Index, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund.
How does the automatic call feature work on the AMJB notes?
On each scheduled Review Date starting December 23, 2026, if the closing value of each underlying is at or above 100% of its initial value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Call Premium Amount, which begins at at least 13% of principal and steps up over the life of the notes to at least 65% on the final review date, after which no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity if the AMJB notes are not automatically called?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of every underlying is at or above 70% of its initial value, investors receive their $1,000 principal per note at maturity. If the Final Value of any underlying is below its 70% Barrier Amount, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the least performing underlying, so losses move one-for-one with that decline and all principal can be lost.
Do the AMJB notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The AMJB notes do not pay periodic interest and investors do not receive dividends from the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund or from any securities in the underlying indexes. All potential return comes only from the call premiums if the notes are automatically called, or from principal repayment at maturity if the barrier condition is met.
What is the estimated value of the AMJB notes compared with the $1,000 issue price?
If the notes priced on the date shown, the estimated value would be approximately $948.10 per $1,000 principal amount, and the final estimated value disclosed at pricing will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000. The difference from the $1,000 price reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs built into the issue price.
What are the key risks of investing in AMJB structured notes?
Key risks include potential loss of more than 30% and up to all principal if the worst-performing underlying finishes below its 70% barrier, exposure to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and no liquidity listing since the notes are not exchange-traded. There are also sector and index-specific risks tied to small-cap stocks, technology companies and utilities, as well as potential mismatch between the ETF’s price and its underlying index.
