JPMorgan Chase (AMJB) details auto callable notes linked to MAX index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Multi-Asset Index, a diversified, rules-based futures index that includes a 1.00% per annum daily deduction. The notes target investors seeking potential early redemption at a premium and full principal repayment at maturity, but who are willing to forgo periodic interest and accept issuer and guarantor credit risk.
The notes can be automatically called on annual Review Dates starting December 31, 2026 if the Index closes at or above preset Call Values. In that case, investors receive $1,000 plus a Call Premium Amount of at least 6.25%, 12.50%, 18.75% or 25.00% of principal on successive Review Dates. If not called, at maturity on January 3, 2031 investors receive $1,000 plus an uncapped Additional Amount equal to the Index Return times a 100% participation rate, floored at zero.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations with minimum denominations of $1,000. If priced today, the estimated value would be approximately $938 per $1,000, and will not be less than $900 when finalized. Key risks include lack of interest, liquidity constraints, complex index and futures-based strategy, possible commodity hedging disruption adjustments, and potential conflicts of interest as an affiliate sponsors and calculates the Index.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable notes linked to the J.P. Morgan Multi-Asset Index?
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated debt of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that provide exposure to the J.P. Morgan Multi-Asset Index. They can be automatically called before maturity for a fixed premium if the Index reaches specified Call Values, or otherwise repay principal at maturity plus any positive Index-based Additional Amount.
How can investors in the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes receive an automatic call payment?
On each Review Date before the final one, if the Index closing level is greater than or equal to the applicable Call Value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive, for each $1,000 principal amount, $1,000 plus the Call Premium Amount for that Review Date (at least 6.25%, 12.50%, 18.75% or 25.00% of principal), and no further payments are made.
What do investors in the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes receive at maturity if the notes are not called?
If the notes are not automatically called, at maturity on January 3, 2031 each $1,000 note pays back $1,000 plus an Additional Amount. The Additional Amount equals $1,000 times the Index Return times the 100% participation rate and will not be less than zero, so principal is repaid in full subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk.
What is the J.P. Morgan Multi-Asset Index that underlies the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes?
The J.P. Morgan Multi-Asset Index (Bloomberg ticker: MAX) is a rules-based index that tracks a notional, dynamically rebalanced portfolio of up to ten excess return, futures-based indices across equities, fixed income and commodities, primarily in the U.S., Germany and Japan. It applies a 1.00% per annum daily deduction and seeks diversified allocation, momentum-based selection and a targeted volatility framework.
What are key risks of investing in the JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable notes?
Key risks include that the notes pay no interest, may return only principal at maturity if the Index does not appreciate, and are subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The Index embeds a 1.00% annual deduction, uses a complex momentum and volatility-targeting strategy, may include notional short positions and futures-related risks, and the notes may lack liquidity and trade below the original issue price.
How is the estimated value of the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes determined and how does it compare to the price to public?
If the notes priced on the date referenced, the estimated value would be approximately $938 per $1,000 principal amount, and will not be less than $900 when finalized. This estimated value is based on an internal funding rate and derivative pricing models, and is lower than the price to public because that price includes selling commissions, projected hedging profits and hedging costs.
Do the JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable notes pay dividends or interest from the underlying assets?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest and investors do not receive dividends or distributions from the securities, loans, commodities, or futures contracts underlying the index constituents. Any return comes solely from the automatic call premium or Additional Amount at maturity, if applicable.
