AMJB 2028 auto callable ETF-linked notes from JPMorgan detailed
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering auto callable contingent interest notes linked to the least performing of the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) and SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE), maturing on December 1, 2028.
The notes pay a monthly contingent interest rate of at least 15.25% per annum (at least $12.7083 per $1,000) only if, on each review date, all three ETFs close at or above 60% of their initial values. The notes may be automatically called as early as May 28, 2026 if each ETF is at or above its initial value, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable interest and no further payments.
If the notes are not called and any ETF finishes below 60% of its initial value at maturity, repayment of principal is reduced one-for-one with the loss on the worst ETF, and investors can lose more than 40% and up to all of their principal. The preliminary estimated value is approximately $955.40 per $1,000 note, and will not be less than $920.00 when finalized, reflecting embedded selling, structuring and hedging costs.

FAQ
What is AMJB (J.P. Morgan) offering in this 424B2 filing?
The filing describes Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes due December 1, 2028, issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.. The notes are linked to three ETFs: the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) and the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE).
How do the contingent interest payments work on the AMJB structured notes?
For each $1,000 principal amount note, investors receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $12.7083 (a rate of at least 15.25% per annum, or at least 1.27083% per month) on each Interest Payment Date if, on the related Review Date, the closing price of one share of each of SMH, XLE and KRE is at or above 60.00% of its Initial Value. If any ETF is below its 60% Interest Barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
When can the AMJB auto callable notes be called early and what do investors receive?
The notes are automatically called on any Review Date from May 28, 2026 through November 28, 2028 (excluding the first five and final Review Dates) if the closing price of one share of each ETF is at least equal to its Initial Value. Upon an automatic call, investors 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 is the principal risk at maturity for these JPMorgan auto callable notes?
If the notes are not automatically called and, on the final Review Date, the Final Value of any ETF is below its Trigger Value of 60.00% of its Initial Value, the maturity payment per $1,000 note is calculated as $1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Fund Return). In that case, investors lose more than 40.00% of principal and could lose their entire investment.
What is the estimated value of the AMJB notes relative to the $1,000 price to public?
If priced on the date in the example, the estimated value would be about $955.40 per $1,000 note. The issuer states that, when terms are finalized, the estimated value per $1,000 note will not be less than $920.00. The difference from the $1,000 price reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses and hedging costs.
Which ETFs underlie the JPMorgan AMJB auto callable notes and what sectors do they track?
The notes are linked to three ETFs: the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, which tracks the MVIS U.S. Listed Semiconductor 25 Index; the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, which tracks the Energy Select Sector Index tied to the energy sector of the S&P 500; and the SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF, which tracks the S&P Regional Banks Select Industry Index.
What key risks does the 424B2 highlight for investors in these AMJB structured notes?
The notes involve risks including potential loss of all principal, the possibility that no contingent interest is ever paid, credit risk of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., exposure to the worst-performing ETF, lack of liquidity as the notes will not be listed on an exchange, and sector-specific risks tied to the semiconductor, energy and regional banking industries.
