FAQ
What security is being offered in this JPMorgan 424B2 pricing supplement?
The document describes Capped Buffered Equity Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes are linked to the S&P 500 Index, have a total offering size of $827,000, and are scheduled to mature on December 8, 2028.
How do the capped buffered equity notes linked to the S&P 500 work?
At maturity, if the S&P 500 Final Value is above the Initial Value of 6,870.40, investors receive their $1,000 principal plus 1.00x the index gain, capped by a 33.00% maximum return. If the index is flat or down by up to the 20.00% buffer amount, investors receive their full principal. If the index is down by more than 20.00%, the payout is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the excess decline, so substantial losses of principal are possible.
What are the maximum return and potential loss on these JPMorgan notes?
The notes’ upside is limited by a Maximum Return of 33.00%, corresponding to a maximum payment of $1,330.00 per $1,000 note at maturity. On the downside, if the S&P 500 falls by more than the 20.00% buffer, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% decline, and can lose up to 80.00% of principal in severe market drops.
Do these S&P 500-linked notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors will not receive dividends from any securities in the S&P 500 Index or have shareholder rights in those companies. All return, if any, is realized only at maturity based on the index level.
What are the key fees and estimated value disclosed for the notes?
The price to public is $1,000 per note, which includes $9.50 in selling commissions per $1,000 principal amount. The issuer reports an estimated value of the notes at pricing of $981.50 per $1,000 note, reflecting internal funding rates and the costs of selling, structuring and hedging the notes.
What liquidity and credit risks are associated with these JPMorgan structured notes?
The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so payments depend on both entities’ credit. The notes will not be listed on any exchange, and any secondary market would be limited to prices at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC may be willing to buy, which are likely to be below the original issue price.
