JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) details 2028 review notes tied to silver and gold miners
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering unsecured “Review Notes” linked to the lesser performing of the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes run to December 28, 2028 and can be automatically called on review dates in 2026, 2027 and 2028 if each fund closes at or above its applicable Call Value.
If called, holders receive $1,000 plus a Call Premium Amount of at least 26.50%, 53.00% or 79.50% of principal, depending on the review date. If not called and the final value of each fund is at least 65.00% of its Initial Value (the Barrier Amount), investors get back principal; if either fund finishes below 65.00%, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 multiplied by the lesser performing fund return, so more than 35.00% and potentially all principal can be lost.
The notes pay no interest or dividends and are subject to JPMorgan Financial’s and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit risk. The estimated value, if priced today, would be about $950.00 per $1,000 note, and when set will not be less than $930.00, reflecting selling commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs embedded in the price to public.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB review notes linked to silver and gold miners?
The JPMorgan AMJB notes are unsecured structured “Review Notes” issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are linked to the lesser performing of the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), offering potential premium payments if certain price levels are met but exposing investors to loss of principal based on the funds’ performance.
How do the automatic call features on JPMorgan AMJB notes work?
On each Review Date in 2026, 2027 and 2028, if the closing price of one share of each fund is at or above its Call Value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 plus the applicable Call Premium Amount per note, with minimum premiums of 26.50% on the first Review Date, 53.00% on the second and 79.50% on the final Review Date, after which no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity if JPMorgan AMJB notes are not automatically called?
If the notes are not called and, on the final Review Date, the Final Value of each fund is at least 65.00% of its Initial Value (the Barrier Amount), investors receive the $1,000 principal per note. If either fund’s Final Value is below 65.00% of its Initial Value, the maturity payment becomes $1,000 plus $1,000 multiplied by the Lesser Performing Fund Return, so more than 35.00% of principal and up to the entire amount can be lost.
What key risks do investors in JPMorgan AMJB structured notes face?
Holders of the AMJB notes face significant risks, including no guaranteed return of principal, no interest payments, and no dividends from the underlying funds or their holdings. The payoff depends on the lesser performing fund, so weakness in just one ETF can drive losses. The notes are also subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., are not FDIC insured, and may have limited or no secondary market liquidity.
How is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes determined and how does it compare to the price to public?
If priced on the date described, the estimated value of the notes would be about $950.00 per $1,000 principal amount, and when the terms are set it will not be less than $930.00. This value reflects a combination of a fixed-income component and embedded derivatives, using JPMorgan’s internal funding rate and pricing models. It is lower than the price to public because that price includes selling commissions, a structuring fee, projected hedging profits and hedging costs.
