JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) issues buffered review notes tied to Dow, Russell 2000, S&P 500
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering structured "Review Notes" linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing in December 2028. Each note has a $1,000 denomination and may be automatically called on scheduled review dates starting in December 2026 if all three indices are at or above their initial levels, paying back $1,000 plus a call premium of at least 7.60%, 15.20% or 22.80% depending on the call date.
If the notes are not called, investors have a 20% downside buffer at maturity and can earn a capped return up to 20% based on the absolute decline of the worst-performing index within that buffer. If any index falls by more than 20%, principal is reduced 1% for each percentage point beyond the buffer, up to an 80% loss. The notes pay no interest or dividends and are unsecured, with an indicative estimated value of about $952.60 per $1,000 note, no lower than $900 when finalized.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes linked to the Dow, Russell 2000 and S&P 500?
The notes are structured securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that tie repayment to the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index. Investors may receive early repayment with a premium if all three indices meet specified levels on set review dates, or a maturity payout based on the worst-performing index, subject to a 20% downside buffer.
How does the automatic call feature work on the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
On each Review Date (starting in December 2026 and then annually), if the closing level of each index is at or above its Call Value (100% of its initial level), the notes are automatically called. For each $1,000 note, investors receive $1,000 plus a Call Premium Amount of at least 7.60%, 15.20% or 22.80% for the first, second and final Review Dates, respectively, and no further payments are made.
What is the downside protection and risk of loss on these JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes?
The notes include a 20.00% Buffer Amount. If they are not called and the worst-performing index is down by up to 20% at maturity, investors gain the absolute value of that decline, capped at 20%, for a maximum maturity payout of $1,200 per $1,000 note. If any index is down by more than 20%, the maturity payment is reduced dollar-for-dollar beyond the buffer, and investors can lose up to 80.00% of principal.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest and investors do not receive dividends from any stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russell 2000 Index or the S&P 500 Index. All potential return comes from the call premiums or the final payoff formula at maturity.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes relative to the $1,000 issue price?
If priced on the sample date, the notes would have an estimated value of approximately $952.60 per $1,000 principal amount. The issuer states the final estimated value, when set, will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 note. The difference from the $1,000 price reflects selling commissions, hedging costs and structuring profits.
What key risks are associated with investing in the JPMorgan AMJB Review Notes?
Major risks include the possibility of losing up to 80.00% of principal if the worst-performing index falls more than 20%, credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of interest or dividend payments, potential early automatic call limiting upside, and limited liquidity, as the notes will not be listed on an exchange and secondary market prices may be below the issue price.
