JPMorgan (AMJB) offers capped principal-protected notes linked to three major indices
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering capped notes linked to the least performing of the S&P 500®, Russell 2000® and Nasdaq‑100 Index®, maturing on February 4, 2030. The notes pay no interest or dividends but promise full repayment of the $1,000 principal at maturity, subject to the credit of the issuer and guarantor.
At maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus an Additional Amount equal to 150% of the gain of the worst‑performing index, up to a capped maximum return of at least 34.50% (at least $345 per $1,000 note). If any index finishes at or below its initial level, investors receive only their principal. The preliminary estimated value is about $971.30 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900 when finalized. Key risks include limited upside, no liquidity listing, potential secondary market discounts, complex tax treatment as contingent payment debt instruments and full exposure to JPMorgan credit risk.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB capped notes linked to the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Nasdaq-100?
These are structured notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that return principal at maturity and offer equity-linked upside based on the worst performer of the S&P 500®, Russell 2000® and Nasdaq‑100 Index®, subject to a cap.
How is my payout on the AMJB notes determined at maturity?
For each $1,000 note, you receive $1,000 plus an Additional Amount. The Additional Amount equals $1,000 × the lowest index return × the 150% participation rate, but it cannot be less than zero or more than the Maximum Amount of at least $345 per $1,000 note.
Do the AMJB notes protect my principal?
If you hold to maturity, you are entitled to full repayment of principal per $1,000 note as long as JPMorgan Chase Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. meet their obligations. Market declines in the indices do not reduce principal, but credit defaults could.
What happens if the indices do not rise over the term of the AMJB notes?
If any index’s final level is equal to or below its initial level, the Additional Amount is zero and you receive only the $1,000 principal at maturity, with no compensation for inflation or lost dividend income.
What are the key risks of investing in these JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
Major risks include a cap on maximum gains, no periodic interest, no dividends from index constituents, lack of exchange listing and potentially low or volatile secondary market prices. Investors also face credit risk of JPMorgan and complex U.S. tax treatment as contingent payment debt instruments.
What is the estimated value of the AMJB notes compared to the $1,000 issue price?
If priced on the date shown, the notes would have an estimated value of about $971.30 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900.00. The difference from the $1,000 price reflects selling commissions, structuring and hedging costs and dealer margins.
Do the AMJB notes pay interest or get listed on an exchange?
The notes do not pay interest and will not be listed on any securities exchange. Any liquidity would depend on the price at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy the notes in the secondary market, if at all.
