JPMorgan (AMJB) auto-call gold miners ETF note with 25% buffer
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable dual directional buffered return enhanced notes linked to the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), maturing on January 12, 2028. The notes may be automatically called on February 3, 2027 if the ETF is at or above the Call Value, paying $1,000 plus a call premium of at least $115 per $1,000.
If not called and the ETF finishes above the strike, holders receive 1.5 times the ETF’s gain. If the ETF is flat or down by up to the 25% buffer, holders receive a positive return equal to the absolute loss, capped at 25% (maximum $1,250 per $1,000 for negative scenarios). Below the buffer, principal losses match further declines up to a 75% loss.
The notes pay no interest, do not pass through ETF dividends, are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan entities, and may be illiquid. Risk factors also highlight concentration in gold and silver mining stocks, non‑U.S. exposure, and potential secondary market pricing below the issue price.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB notes linked to the VanEck Gold Miners ETF?
The AMJB notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., linked to the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX). They offer auto-call and dual-directional buffered payoff features instead of fixed interest payments.
How does the auto call feature work on the AMJB VanEck Gold Miners ETF notes?
On the Review Date (February 3, 2027), if the ETF’s closing price is at or above the Call Value (100% of the strike), each note is automatically called for $1,000 plus a Call Premium Amount of at least $115. After this payment, no further amounts are due.
What is the payoff at maturity for the AMJB notes if they are not called?
If not called and the ETF’s Final Value is above the Strike Value of $101.29, each $1,000 note pays $1,000 plus 1.5 times the ETF’s percentage gain. If the Final Value is at or down by up to the 25% buffer, holders get $1,000 plus the ETF’s absolute loss as a positive return, capped at 25%. Below the buffer, principal is reduced in line with further declines up to a 75% loss.
Can investors lose principal on the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes?
Yes. If the notes are not automatically called and the ETF finishes more than 25% below the strike, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% additional ETF decline. The maximum loss is 75% of the principal, leaving $250 per $1,000 note.
Do the AMJB notes pay interest or ETF dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest and holders do not receive dividends paid by the VanEck Gold Miners ETF or its underlying securities. All value comes from the call payment or the final payoff formula.
What are the main risks of the AMJB VanEck Gold Miners ETF notes?
Key risks include potential loss of up to 75% of principal, no interest or dividends, credit risk of JPMorgan entities, lack of listing and potential illiquidity, and exposure to the gold and silver mining industries and non‑U.S. markets. The estimated value is below the issue price, and secondary prices may be lower than the original price.
How is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes determined?
The indicative estimated value per $1,000 note is shown as about $980.00, and the final estimated value will not be less than $950.00. It combines a fixed‑income component priced using an internal funding rate and derivatives tied to the ETF, and is lower than the issue price because it excludes selling commissions, hedging costs and dealer profits.
