JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) offers equity index-linked review notes due 2028 with auto-call
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering equity-linked review notes tied to the lesser performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, maturing in December 2028. The notes may be automatically called on scheduled review dates starting in December 2026 if the closing level of each index is at or above its applicable call value, paying back $1,000 per note plus a call premium.
Minimum call premiums range from at least 9.35% to at least 28.05% of the $1,000 principal amount, but investors forgo interest and dividends and face downside risk at maturity. If the notes are not called and either index finishes below 70% of its initial level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss on the lesser-performing index, so investors can lose more than 30% and up to their entire principal. The estimated value at pricing is expected to be about $960 per $1,000 note and not less than $940, reflecting embedded costs and hedging.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan review notes linked to the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 (AMJB)?
These notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that link payments to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index. Returns depend on whether both indices stay above preset call and barrier levels rather than on fixed interest.
How does the automatic call feature work on the JPMorgan AMJB review notes?
On each scheduled Review Date from December 28, 2026 through December 19, 2028, if the closing level of each index is at or above its applicable Call Value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Call Premium Amount on the related Call Settlement Date and no further payments.
What potential returns do the JPMorgan AMJB review notes offer?
The notes pay no periodic interest but can provide call premiums of at least 9.35% to at least 28.05% of the $1,000 principal amount per note, depending on which Review Date triggers an automatic call. If held to maturity without being called and both indices finish at or above their 70.00% barrier amounts, investors receive only the $1,000 principal per note.
What are the downside risks of the JPMorgan AMJB review notes?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of either index is below 70.00% of its Initial Value, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Lesser Performing Index Return. In that case, investors lose more than 30% of principal and could lose their entire $1,000 per note.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB review notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay interest and investors do not receive dividends on any stocks in the S&P 500 or Russell 2000. All investor return comes only from any Call Premium Amount if the notes are automatically called, or from the final payment at maturity.
How does the estimated value compare to the $1,000 price of the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
If priced on the reference date in the document, the estimated value would be approximately $960.00 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $940.00 per $1,000 note. The difference from the $1,000 price reflects selling commissions, structuring fees, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs.
Are the JPMorgan AMJB review notes insured or listed on an exchange?
The notes are not bank deposits, are not insured by the FDIC or any government agency, and are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the issuer, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They will not be listed on any securities exchange, so liquidity will depend on any secondary market purchases by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.
