JPMorgan (AMJB) issues Review Notes linked to MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Review Notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, designed to provide an automatic early call at a premium if the index closes at or above a set call level on scheduled review dates.
The notes have a price to public of $1,000 per note, an expected maturity on January 13, 2033, and may be automatically called as early as April 14, 2027, paying back principal plus a call premium based on a rate of at least 20.00%. If the notes are not called and the final index level is below 60% of the initial level, investors lose principal in line with the index decline and can lose their entire investment. The index embeds a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost, which both act as a drag on performance, and the estimated value of the notes is indicated at about $919.10 per $1,000 principal amount.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan (AMJB) Review Notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index?
The notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.. They are linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index and can be automatically called before maturity for a cash payment if the index closes at or above a specified call value on a review date.
How can investors in JPMorgan (AMJB) MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index notes receive payment before maturity?
On any Review Date from April 14, 2027 through January 10, 2033, if the index closing level is at or above the Call Value (100% of the Initial Value), the notes are automatically called. Each $1,000 note then pays $1,000 plus the applicable Call Premium Amount, calculated using a Call Premium Rate of at least 20.00%, and no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity for the JPMorgan (AMJB) notes if they are not automatically called?
If the notes are not called and the Final Value of the index is at or above the Barrier Amount of 60.00% of the Initial Value, investors receive the $1,000 principal per note at maturity. If the Final Value is below the Barrier Amount, the payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 multiplied by the index return, so losses exceed 40% of principal and can reach 100% if the index falls to zero.
What are the main risks of the JPMorgan (AMJB) MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index notes?
Key risks include potential loss of all principal if the final index level is sufficiently below the initial level and the notes are not called, no periodic interest or dividends, and credit risk of both JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The index also has a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost, which can materially reduce its performance.
How does the 6.0% per annum daily deduction affect the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index and these JPMorgan notes?
The index level reflects a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, and the underlying QQQ Fund is further reduced by a daily notional financing cost. These deductions offset positive index returns, magnify negative returns, and generally cause the index to trail an identical index without such charges, which can lower any payments on the notes.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan (AMJB) MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index notes?
If priced on the indicated date, the notes would have an estimated value of approximately $919.10 per $1,000 principal amount. The issuer states that, when the terms are set, the estimated value will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 note. This value reflects internal funding rates, hedging costs and dealer compensation and is lower than the $1,000 price to public.
Do the JPMorgan (AMJB) MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index notes pay interest or QQQ Fund dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive any dividends from the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1 or from its underlying securities. Any return to investors comes only from the automatic call payment or the amount received at maturity.
