JPMorgan (AMJB) issues auto-callable notes linked to MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is issuing $319,000 of structured “Review Notes” linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes can be automatically called as early as December 14, 2026 if the Index closes at or above 100% of its initial level, paying $1,000 plus a preset Call Premium Amount per note.
If the notes are never called, investors receive full principal at maturity in December 2032 only if the Index has fallen by no more than 20%. If it is down by more than 20%, the payoff is reduced dollar-for-dollar with Index losses beyond that buffer, and investors can lose up to 80% of principal. The Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost on the QQQ Fund, which drag on performance. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations, and priced at $1,000 per note with an estimated value of $901.40.

FAQ
What securities are being offered in JPMorgan AMJB’s 424B2 document?
The offering consists of $319,000 of Review Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Each note has a $1,000 denomination and is linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index.
How do the automatic call features of the JPMorgan AMJB notes work?
On each scheduled Review Date starting December 14, 2026, if the Index closing level is at or above 100% of the Initial Value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 plus the applicable Call Premium Amount per note on the related Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
What downside protection and loss risk do the JPMorgan AMJB notes have at maturity?
If the notes are not called and the Final Index Value is below the Initial Value by up to 20.00%, investors receive their full $1,000 principal at maturity. If the Index is down by more than 20.00%, the payoff is calculated as $1,000 + [$1,000 × (Index Return + 20.00%)], so investors can lose up to 80.00% of principal.
What drag does the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index impose on JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and the QQQ Fund component is subject to a notional financing cost based on SOFR plus 0.50% per annum. These deductions offset positive performance, magnify losses and cause the Index to trail a similar index without such charges.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive dividends on the Invesco QQQ Trust or its underlying securities. All return comes from any automatic call premium or the final payment at maturity.
What is the estimated value versus price to public for the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes are sold at $1,000 per note (price to public), including selling commissions of $44 per $1,000 and other structuring and hedging costs. The issuer’s estimated value at pricing was $901.40 per $1,000 note, reflecting internal funding rates and derivative values.
What key credit and liquidity risks are highlighted for the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so payments depend on both entities’ credit. The notes will not be listed on any exchange; liquidity is expected to come mainly from J.P. Morgan Securities LLC making a market, and secondary prices will likely be below the original issue price.
