JPMorgan Chase Financial (AMJB) offers notes on Russell 2000 & S&P 500
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering capped digital notes linked to the Russell 2000, S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, maturing on June 21, 2027.
The notes pay no periodic interest but are designed to return full principal at maturity, subject to the credit risks of the issuer and guarantor. If on the June 15, 2027 observation date the final level of each index is at or above its initial level, holders receive a fixed return of at least 9.15%, for a total of $1,091.50 per $1,000 note at maturity; otherwise they receive only the $1,000 principal.
The notes are unsecured, will not be listed on any securities exchange, and are issued in minimum denominations of $1,000. A preliminary estimated value is about $984.30 per $1,000 note today, and will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000 when terms are set, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and internal funding rates, so secondary market prices are expected to be below the original issue price.

FAQ
What are the key terms of JPMorgan AMJB capped digital notes linked to the Russell 2000, S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100?
The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and are linked individually to the Russell 2000, S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indices. They are expected to price on or about December 15, 2025, settle on or about December 18, 2025, and mature on June 21, 2027, in minimum denominations of $1,000.
How does the 9.15% contingent digital return work on the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
At maturity, if the final level of each index is greater than or equal to its initial level, investors receive $1,000 + ($1,000 × Contingent Digital Return) per note. With a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 9.15%, this equals $1,091.50 per $1,000 note, regardless of how far the indices have risen.
What happens at maturity if one of the indices finishes below its initial level on the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
If the final value of any of the Russell 2000, S&P 500 or Nasdaq-100 is less than its initial value on the observation date, investors receive only the $1,000 principal amount per note at maturity. In that case, there is no additional return, and investors are not compensated for inflation or the time value of money.
What are the main risks of the JPMorgan AMJB capped digital notes tied to equity indices?
Key risks include: the notes do not pay interest, upside is capped at the Contingent Digital Return, and payment depends on the least performing index. The notes are unsecured, subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., not bank deposits, and not insured by the FDIC. They will not be listed on any exchange, so liquidity may be limited and secondary prices may be below the issue price.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes and why is it below the $1,000 issue price?
If the notes priced today, the estimated value would be approximately $984.30 per $1,000 principal amount note, and when terms are set it will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000. This is lower than the original issue price because it excludes selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs that are built into the price to public.
How are the JPMorgan AMJB capped digital notes expected to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?
JPMorgan currently intends to treat the notes as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under this approach, U.S. holders generally must accrue original issue discount each year based on a comparable yield, even though no cash is paid until maturity, and recognize interest income and potentially ordinary loss or capital loss on disposition. Investors are advised to consult their tax advisers.
