FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Uncapped Dual Directional Accelerated Barrier Notes?
These notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They link returns to the Nasdaq-100 Futures Excess Return Index and mature on December 29, 2031, with no periodic interest payments.
How can investors earn returns on these Nasdaq-100 Futures Excess Return Index notes?
At maturity, if the Index is above the Strike Value, investors receive $1,000 plus the Index return multiplied by an Upside Leverage Factor of at least 1.80. If the Index is at or below the Strike but at or above 75.00% of the Strike, investors get $1,000 plus the Absolute Index Return, capped at 25.00% when the Index return is negative.
What happens if the Index falls below the 75% barrier at maturity on these AMJB notes?
If the Final Value of the Index is less than 75.00% of the Strike Value, the Barrier Amount no longer protects principal. The payment becomes $1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return), so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% Index decline and can lose their entire investment.
Do the JPMorgan Nasdaq-100 Futures Excess Return barrier notes pay interest or provide principal protection?
No. The notes do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal. Investors are fully exposed to Index performance if the Final Value is below the Barrier Amount and must be willing to lose a significant portion or all of their principal.

Are the AMJB-linked notes liquid or listed on an exchange?
