JPMorgan (AMJB) offers capped S&P 500® total return barrier notes
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Capped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the S&P 500® Total Return Index, maturing on April 8, 2027. These unsecured notes provide 1.20x upside exposure to the index, capped at a maximum return of at least 14.40% (at least $1,144 per $1,000).
The Strike Value is 15,394.75, with a Barrier Amount at 80% of that level, or 12,315.80. If the final index level is above the Strike Value, payment increases with the index return, subject to the cap. If the final level is between the Barrier Amount and the Strike Value, investors receive only their principal back.
If the final index level is below the Barrier Amount, repayment falls one-for-one with the index decline, and investors can lose most or all of their principal. The notes pay no interest or dividends, have a minimum denomination of $1,000, will not be listed on any exchange, and carry the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. A preliminary estimated value is approximately $993.80 per $1,000 note, with the final estimated value to be at least $970.00.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Capped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the S&P 500 Total Return Index?
The notes are unsecured structured investments from JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, linked to the S&P 500® Total Return Index and maturing on April 8, 2027. They offer leveraged upside, a downside barrier, no interest payments, and full principal-at-risk, subject to JPMorgan’s credit.
How do returns work on the JPMorgan AMJB Capped Accelerated Barrier Notes at maturity?
At maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus 1.20 times any positive index return, up to a maximum return of at least 14.40%. If the index finishes between the Strike Value and the 80% Barrier Amount, only principal is returned; below the barrier, losses match the index decline.
What principal protection does the JPMorgan AMJB note’s 80% barrier provide?
The barrier is set at 80% of the Strike Value, or 12,315.80 based on a Strike Value of 15,394.75. If the final index level stays at or above this barrier, investors receive at least their $1,000 principal. Below it, losses increase one-for-one with the index drop.
What are the key risks of investing in the JPMorgan AMJB Capped Accelerated Barrier Notes?
Key risks include potential loss of most or all principal if the index closes below the barrier, no interest or dividend payments, and exposure to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are illiquid, unlisted, and their estimated value is below the $1,000 issue price.
How is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes determined and how does it compare to the issue price?
The estimated value combines a fixed-income component and embedded derivatives, using an internal funding rate and pricing models. If priced today, it would be about $993.80 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $970.00, both below the $1,000 price due to structuring and hedging costs.
Do JPMorgan AMJB Capped Accelerated Barrier Notes pay interest or pass through dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest and investors will not receive dividends from the S&P 500® companies. Instead, all potential return is delivered as a single payment at maturity, based on the index performance relative to the Strike Value and barrier.
What are the basic trading and denomination terms of the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes are offered in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. They will not be listed on any securities exchange, so liquidity will depend on the willingness of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to buy them in the secondary market, if at all.
