JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) auto callable tech+ volatility notes with 9.25% contingent rate
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, maturing on November 29, 2030. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of at least 9.25% per annum equivalent when, on a review date, the Index closes at or above 70% of its initial value; missed coupons can be paid later if the barrier is met.
The notes may be automatically called as early as November 25, 2026 if the Index is at or above its initial value, returning $1,000 per note plus due contingent interest, with no further payments. At maturity, if not called and the Index is at or above 85% of its initial level, investors receive full principal plus applicable contingent interest; below that level, principal is reduced, with losses up to 85% possible. The Index embeds a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost, which drag on performance and can cause it to lag the QQQ-based strategy it tracks. The estimated value is initially about $911.70 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900.00.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan AMJB auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index?
These notes are unsecured, unsubordinated debt of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They pay conditional monthly interest and may be automatically called before the November 29, 2030 maturity based on the level of the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index.
How do the contingent interest payments on JPMorgan AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, you receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $7.7083 (at least 9.25% per annum, 0.77083% per month) on an Interest Payment Date if, on the related Review Date, the Index level is at or above 70% of its initial value. Any unpaid past coupons are also paid on a later date if the barrier is met; if it is not met on any Review Date, no coupon is paid for that month.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB notes be automatically called and what do investors receive?
On any Review Date other than the first eleven and the final one, if the Index closes at or above its Initial Value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive, per $1,000 note, $1,000 plus the contingent interest for that Review Date plus any unpaid prior contingent interest on the following Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
How is principal on the JPMorgan AMJB notes protected or at risk at maturity?
If the notes are not called and the final Index value is at or above the 85% Buffer Threshold, each $1,000 note pays back $1,000 plus the final contingent interest and any unpaid prior coupons. If the final value is below 85% of the Initial Value, the maturity payment is $1,000 + [$1,000 × (Index Return + 15%) ], so investors can lose up to 85% of principal.
What features of the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index affect JPMorgan AMJB note returns?
The Index tracks a leveraged, rules-based exposure to an unfunded position in the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1, targeting 35% implied volatility with exposure between 0% and 500%. Its performance is reduced by a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a daily notional financing cost, which can offset gains, magnify losses and cause the Index to trail a similar strategy without these deductions.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes relative to the price to public?
If priced on the described date, the notes would have an estimated value of approximately $911.70 per $1,000 principal amount, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900.00. The difference versus the $1,000 price to public reflects selling commissions, hedging costs and projected profits included in the issue price.
What are key risks of investing in the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
Investors face credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the possibility of receiving no interest at all if the Index stays below the 70% barrier, and up to 85% principal loss if the Index finishes below the 85% Buffer Threshold. Additional risks include liquidity risk, conflicts of interest, index leverage and drag from the 6.0% deduction and notional financing cost.
