JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) offers uncapped accelerated barrier notes to 2028
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the worst performer of the Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and S&P 500 indices, maturing on December 22, 2028.
The notes provide at least 1.61x any positive return of the least performing index if all three finish above their initial levels. If any index finishes at or below its initial level but all stay at or above 70% of initial value, investors receive only their principal back. If any index closes below 70% of its initial level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline in the worst index, so investors can lose more than 30% and up to all of their principal.
The notes pay no interest, provide no dividends, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial and are subject to the credit risk of both the issuer and guarantor. They will not be listed on an exchange, and secondary market prices and the issuer’s estimated value (illustrated at about $967 per $1,000 face amount, and not less than $900) are expected to be below the original issue price.

FAQ
What are JPMorgan AMJB Uncapped Accelerated Barrier Notes linked to the Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and S&P 500?
These notes are structured investments issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pay no interest and return at maturity an amount based on the performance of the least performing of the Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and S&P 500 indices, subject to an upside leverage feature and a downside barrier.
How does the payoff work on the JPMorgan AMJB barrier notes at maturity?
If each index finishes above its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus 1.61 times (or higher, as finally set) the gain of the least performing index per $1,000 face amount. If any index is at or below its initial level but all remain at or above 70% of their initial values, investors receive only their principal. If any index closes below 70% of its initial value, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus the full percentage loss of the worst index, which can reduce principal significantly.
What is the barrier level on the AMJB notes and what happens if it is breached?
The barrier amount for each index is 70% of its initial value. If the final value of any index is below this level on the observation date, the barrier benefit terminates and the maturity payment per $1,000 note becomes $1,000 plus the least performing index return. For example, if the least performing index has fallen 60%, the investor receives $400, a 60% loss of principal.
What key risks are associated with the JPMorgan AMJB uncapped accelerated barrier notes?
Investors face the risk of losing more than 30% and up to all principal if any index closes below its barrier level, as well as the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes pay no interest, provide no rights or dividends on the underlying index constituents, are not listed on any exchange and may have limited or no liquidity. The issuer’s estimated value is lower than the issue price because it reflects selling commissions, hedging costs and internal funding assumptions.
How is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes determined and why is it below $1,000?
The indicative estimated value is about $967 per $1,000 note and will not be less than $900 when finalized. It is calculated as the sum of a fixed-income component and embedded derivatives, using an internal funding rate and internal pricing models. The original issue price is higher because it includes selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs.
Which indices underlie the JPMorgan AMJB notes and why does the least performing index matter?
The notes reference the Nasdaq-100 Index, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index. The payoff depends on the least performing index; weak performance in any one of the three can reduce or eliminate gains and can trigger principal losses, even if the other indices perform positively.
What are the key dates for the JPMorgan AMJB uncapped accelerated barrier notes?
The notes are expected to price on or about December 19, 2025, settle on or about December 24, 2025, observe the final index levels on December 19, 2028 and mature on December 22, 2028, subject to postponement for market disruption events as described in the offering documents.
