JPMorgan tech+ index notes with 70% buffer maturing 2030
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, maturing on December 24, 2030. The notes pay a monthly contingent interest rate of at least 11.00% per annum (at least $9.1667 per $1,000) only when the Index is at or above 70.00% of its Initial Value on a Review Date.
The notes can be automatically called starting on December 21, 2026 if the Index is at or above its Initial Value on specified Review Dates, returning $1,000 plus the applicable interest, with no further payments. At maturity, if not called and the Index is at or above the 70.00% Buffer Threshold, holders receive $1,000 plus the final contingent interest; otherwise, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% Index decline beyond the 30.00% buffer, with up to 70.00% principal loss.
The Index uses leveraged exposure (up to 500%) to the Invesco QQQ Trust, less a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost, which drag on returns. The notes are unsecured obligations with an estimated value of about $941.60 per $1,000 if priced on the stated date and at least $900.00 at pricing, and are subject to the credit risk of both issuing and guaranteeing entities.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan AMJB offering in this 424B2 filing?
The filing describes Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index and scheduled to mature on December 24, 2030. These are unsecured structured notes, not bank deposits or FDIC insured products.
How do the contingent interest payments on the JPMorgan AMJB notes work?
For each $1,000 note, a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $9.1667 (a rate of at least 11.00% per annum, or at least 0.91667% per month) is paid on each Interest Payment Date only if, on the related Review Date, the Index closing level is at or above the 70.00% Interest Barrier of its Initial Value. If the Index closes below the Interest Barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
When can the JPMorgan AMJB notes be automatically called, and what do investors receive?
The notes may be automatically called on any Review Date other than the first through eleventh and the final Review Dates if the Index closing level is at or above the Initial Value. The earliest possible call date is December 21, 2026. Upon an automatic call, holders receive for each $1,000 note $1,000 plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment on the related Call Settlement Date, and no further payments are made.
What happens at maturity on the JPMorgan AMJB notes if they are not called early?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Index Final Value is at or above the 70.00% Buffer Threshold, each $1,000 note pays back $1,000 plus the final Contingent Interest Payment. If the Final Value is below the Buffer Threshold, the maturity payment is calculated as $1,000 + [$1,000 × (Index Return + 30.00%)], so investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% Index decline beyond the 30.00% buffer, with a maximum loss of 70.00%.
What is the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index that the JPMorgan AMJB notes reference?
The MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index provides dynamic, rules-based exposure to an unfunded position in the Invesco QQQ Trust, targeting 35% implied volatility with exposure between 0% and 500%. The Index is reduced daily by a 6.0% per annum deduction and a notional financing cost (SOFR plus 0.50% per annum), which drag on performance and cause it to trail a similar index without such charges.
What are the main risks of the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable contingent interest notes?
Key risks include potential principal loss up to 70.00% if the Index Final Value is below the Buffer Threshold, and the possibility of receiving no interest if the Index stays below the 70.00% Interest Barrier on Review Dates. The Index’s 6.0% annual deduction, notional financing cost and use of leverage can significantly reduce performance. The notes are also subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and they are not listed or guaranteed a liquid secondary market.
How does the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes compare to the price to public?
If priced on the indicated date, the notes’ estimated value would be approximately $941.60 per $1,000 principal amount, and it will not be less than $900.00 per $1,000 at pricing. The difference from the $1,000 price to public reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs included in the issue price.
