JPMorgan Chase Financial (NYSE: AMJB) offers buffered equity notes linked to Russell 2000 and S&P 500
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering capped dual directional buffered equity notes linked to the lesser performer of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing on August 3, 2027. The notes provide unleveraged exposure to gains in the weaker index, with a Maximum Upside Return of at least 27.00%, and also pay a positive return if that index declines by up to the 10.00% buffer, using the absolute value of the loss.
If either index falls by more than 10.00%, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% decline in the lesser-performing index, up to a 90.00% loss at maturity. The notes pay no interest, do not provide dividends, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and are not expected to be listed, so liquidity may be limited. The estimated value is indicated at approximately $964.10 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $900.00 when finalized.
