JPMorgan (AMJB) auto callable note links to three indices with 9.5% yield
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked separately to the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, the Nasdaq-100 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index, maturing on September 28, 2027.
The notes pay a quarterly contingent interest rate of at least 9.50% per annum (at least $23.75 per $1,000 note per quarter) only if on a Review Date each index closes at or above its Interest Barrier, set at 70% of its Strike Value
If the notes are not called and on the final Review Date any index closes below its Trigger Value of 65% of its Strike Value, repayment of principal is reduced in line with the Least Performing Index Return, and investors can lose more than 35% and up to all of their principal. The minimum denomination is $1,000, and the estimated value is currently about $986 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $950 per $1,000 at pricing.

Insights
High-yield JPMorgan note with principal at risk and equity index exposure.
The notes offer a contingent coupon of at least 9.50% per annum, paid quarterly when all three indices stay at or above 70% of their Strike Values. This design combines income potential with dependence on the weakest-performing index, since failure of any one index to meet the barrier cancels that quarter’s coupon.
Principal is exposed to equity downside at maturity. If the notes are not called and any index finishes below 65% of its Strike Value, repayment follows the Least Performing Index Return formula, so a deep decline in one index can drive large capital losses. Automatic call starting on March 23, 2026 can shorten the term and limit total coupons.
The preliminary estimated value of about $986 per $1,000 reflects embedded structuring and hedging costs, with a minimum final estimated value of $950. Credit risk rests on JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and the JPMorgan Chase & Co. guarantee, and the notes are not FDIC insured or exchange-listed, which can affect liquidity and resale pricing.
FAQ
What is JPMorgan AMJB’s auto callable contingent interest note described in this 424B2?
It is an unsecured note of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that pays conditional quarterly interest and can be called early based on the performance of the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, the Nasdaq-100 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index.
How does the 9.50% contingent interest work on the JPMorgan AMJB structured note?
For each $1,000 note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $23.75 per quarter (a rate of at least 9.50% per annum) only if on that Review Date the closing level of each index is at or above its Interest Barrier of 70.00% of Strike Value.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB notes be automatically called and what do investors receive?
Starting March 23, 2026, if on any non-final Review Date the closing level of each index is at or above its Strike Value, the notes are automatically called. Investors then receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment on the related Call Settlement Date, with no further payments.
What principal protection do investors in JPMorgan AMJB’s notes have at maturity?
If the notes are not called and on the final Review Date the Final Value of each index is at or above its Trigger Value of 65.00% of Strike Value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any final Contingent Interest Payment. If any index finishes below its Trigger Value, repayment is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Index Return), so losses can exceed 35.00% and reach 100% of principal.
What are key risks of investing in the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable contingent interest notes?
Key risks include potential loss of all or a significant portion of principal if any index ends below its Trigger Value, the risk of receiving no interest if any index is below its Interest Barrier on Review Dates, exposure to the least performing index, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., lack of listing and potentially limited liquidity, and an estimated value below the $1,000 issue price.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes and how does it compare to the issue price?
If priced on the date in the example, the estimated value would be approximately $986.00 per $1,000 note, and at pricing it will not be less than $950.00 per $1,000. This is lower than the $1,000 price to public because it reflects structuring, hedging costs and projected profits of JPMorgan affiliates.
How are taxes on the JPMorgan AMJB structured notes expected to be treated for U.S. holders?
JPMorgan intends to treat the notes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons, with Contingent Interest Payments taxed as ordinary income, as discussed in the section on Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisers.
