JPMorgan (AMJB) sells callable notes tied to silver, gold and long Treasuries
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering $696,000 of Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the least performing of the iShares Silver Trust, SPDR Gold Trust and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, maturing January 26, 2029.
The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $11.2917 per $1,000 (a 13.55% annual rate) only if on each Review Date all three funds close at or above 60.00% of their initial prices; otherwise no interest is paid for that period. If held to maturity and any fund finishes below 50.00% of its initial value, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline in the worst performer, and investors can lose more than 50.00% and up to all principal. JPMorgan may redeem the notes early on specified interest dates, and the estimated value at pricing was $944.80 per $1,000, below the $1,000 issue price due to fees and hedging costs.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan’s AMJB 424B2 note offering about?
The filing describes $696,000 of Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the iShares Silver Trust, SPDR Gold Trust and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, due January 26, 2029 and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co..
How do the contingent interest payments on AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of $11.2917 (a 13.55% per annum rate) on an Interest Payment Date only if on the related Review Date the closing price of each fund is at least 60.00% of its Initial Value; otherwise, no interest is paid for that period.
When can the AMJB structured notes be redeemed early by the issuer?
JPMorgan may redeem the notes early, in whole but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date other than the first, second and final ones, starting April 28, 2026, at $1,000 per note plus any contingent interest due for the preceding Review Date.
How is principal on the AMJB notes protected at maturity, if at all?
If the notes are not redeemed early and on the final Review Date the Final Value of each fund is at least 50.00% of its Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any final contingent interest. If any fund is below 50.00%, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Least Performing Fund Return, so losses can exceed 50.00% and reach a total loss of principal.
What are the key risks highlighted for JPMorgan’s AMJB contingent interest notes?
The filing emphasizes that the notes do not guarantee principal or any interest payments, are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan entities, can be called early by the issuer, are linked to the worst-performing of three funds, may trade at values below issue price, and lack liquidity because they are not listed on an exchange.
Why is the estimated value of the AMJB notes lower than the issue price?
The estimated value at pricing was $944.80 per $1,000 note, below the $1,000 issue price, because the public price includes selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs, while the estimate is based on JPMorgan’s internal funding rate and derivative pricing models.
