Insights
Notes combine range‑accrual interest with capped leveraged upside and a 10% buffer.
The structure pairs a 5.00% contingent coupon (paid quarterly pro rata based on trading days within the 90–110% band of the Strike Value) with an upside payoff of $1,000 + 1.20×(Fund Return − 10%) capped at 50.00%. Interest depends on daily closing prices during each Accrual Determination Period and can be zero for a period if the Fund closes outside the band on all Accrual Determination Dates.
Value drivers include GLD closing prices relative to the Strike Value (Strike Date: March 9, 2026), realized volatility, and counterparty credit spreads of JPMorgan Financial and its guarantor. Secondary market liquidity and the internal funding rate applied by the issuer will materially affect mid‑term prices.
Credit and legal structures create issuer and model‑risk exposures despite the guarantee.
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Financial and are "fully and unconditionally guaranteed" by JPMorgan Chase & Co.; recovery and market pricing depend on both entities' creditworthiness. The estimated value at pricing was $979.30 per $1,000 note, below the issue price, reflecting structuring and hedging costs retained by the issuer.
Amendments for manifest errors may be effective without holder consent; tax treatment is complex (treated as prepaid forward with contingent coupons per counsel) and withholding on Contingent Interest Payments to Non‑U.S. Holders may apply. Legal and credit provisions merit review prior to purchase.
