JPMorgan (AMJB) offers Capped Digital Notes tied to Dynamic Blend Index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Capped Digital Notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Dynamic BlendSM Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are designed to return principal at maturity plus a fixed digital return if the index does not fall.
If, on the December 18, 2028 observation date, the index’s final level is greater than or equal to its initial level set on the pricing date, investors receive $1,000 plus at least a 19.00% Contingent Digital Return per $1,000 note. If the final level is below the initial level, investors receive only the $1,000 principal amount at maturity, with no upside.
The index is a rules-based strategy that allocates between a U.S. large-cap equity futures index and a 2‑year U.S. Treasury futures index, targets 3.0% volatility, and deducts a 0.95% per annum fee. The notes pay no periodic interest, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., may be illiquid, and have complex tax treatment that can require annual accrual of income before cash is received.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan Capped Digital Notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Dynamic BlendSM Index (AMJB)?
These notes are unsecured debt issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that repay principal at maturity and offer a fixed digital return if the J.P. Morgan Dynamic BlendSM Index finishes at or above its initial level.
How do the AMJB Capped Digital Notes determine the payment at maturity?
If the index’s Final Value on December 18, 2028 is greater than or equal to the Initial Value set on the pricing date, investors receive $1,000 plus at least a 19.00% Contingent Digital Return per $1,000 note. If the Final Value is lower, they receive only the $1,000 principal.
What does the J.P. Morgan Dynamic BlendSM Index track for these notes?
The index allocates between a U.S. large‑cap equity futures index and a 2‑year U.S. Treasury futures index, targets 3.0% annualized volatility, and deducts a 0.95% per annum fee from performance, so its level will generally lag a similar portfolio without that fee.
Do the AMJB Capped Digital Notes pay interest or coupons before maturity?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest. All potential return comes at maturity through repayment of principal plus the Contingent Digital Return if the index condition is met.
What are the main risks of investing in these JPMorgan Capped Digital Notes?
Key risks include limited upside capped at the Contingent Digital Return, no protection against inflation, no interest payments, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., potential illiquidity because the notes are not exchange‑listed, and complex U.S. tax treatment.
How is the estimated value of the AMJB notes determined?
The preliminary document shows an example estimated value of about $940.60 per $1,000 note, with a minimum of $900.00 per $1,000 to be provided at pricing. This is based on an internal funding rate and derivative pricing models and will be lower than the original issue price, which includes selling commissions and hedging‑related costs.
What is the tax treatment summary for investors in these Capped Digital Notes?
JPMorgan currently intends to treat the notes as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under this approach, U.S. holders generally must accrue original issue discount each year based on a comparable yield, even though no cash is paid until maturity, and recognize interest income and ordinary or capital loss on disposition.
