JPMorgan (AMJB) offers capped SPDR Gold Trust notes with 17.20% max return
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering structured notes linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust (GLD), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are designed to provide 125.00% participation in any price increase of the Fund, up to a maximum return of at least 17.20%, so the maximum payment is at least $1,172.00 per $1,000 note at maturity.
These notes pay no interest and expose investors to loss of principal: if the Fund falls, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus the Fund return, but not less than $900.00 per $1,000, meaning up to 10.00% of principal can be lost. The notes are unsecured obligations, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., will not be listed on an exchange, and are expected to have an estimated value at pricing of about $985.50 per $1,000 note, not less than $960.00, which is lower than the issue price.
