JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) issues capped notes tied to SPDR Gold Trust
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering unsecured structured notes linked to the SPDR® Gold Trust. The notes run to December 28, 2026 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Investors receive no interest but get 125.00% participation in any positive return of the SPDR® Gold Trust, capped at a maximum return of at least 17.20% per $1,000 note at maturity. If the fund finishes at or below its initial level, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus the fund return, but not less than $900 per $1,000 note, so investors can lose up to 10.00% of principal.
The notes are subject to the credit risk of both JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., will not be listed on an exchange, and secondary market prices are expected to be below the issue price. The estimated value is disclosed as lower than the $1,000 price because it reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs. The product also carries complex U.S. tax treatment as a potential contingent payment debt instrument.
