Auto-Callable Contingent-Interest Notes from JPMorgan (AMJB) with 6% Daily Index Deduction
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC offers Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index, with pricing expected on or about March 24, 2026 and settlement on or about March 27, 2026.
The notes pay a Contingent Interest Payment on each Interest Payment Date only if the Index closing level is >= the Interest Barrier of 80.00% of the Initial Value; the Contingent Interest Rate will be at least 16.50% per annum (at least 1.375% per month). The Index is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction. The notes are automatically callable on certain Review Dates (earliest automatic call September 24, 2026) if the Index >= Initial Value, mature on March 29, 2029, and are unsecured obligations guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co..
Principal is at risk: if Final Value < Trigger Value of 70.00%, maturity value = $1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return), which could result in losses greater than 30.00% or total loss.

Insights
Complex yield-for-risk trade tied to an index with a large daily deduction.
The notes offer contingent coupon-like payments at a stated minimum rate of 16.50% per annum, payable monthly, but only when the Index closes at or above the 80.00% Interest Barrier on Review Dates. Automatic early redemption is possible if the Index meets or exceeds the Initial Value on specified Review Dates, with the earliest callable date of September 24, 2026.
The Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction that materially reduces realized returns and is a primary driver of the notes' economics. Timing and frequency of Review Dates and the detachable contingent-payment structure create path-dependency; payout outcomes depend on Review Date observations rather than sustained index performance.
Credit exposure to issuer and guarantor; liquidity and valuation caveats.
Payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and its guarantor JPMorgan Chase & Co.. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the issuer and the guarantee ranks pari passu with other unsecured obligations.
Secondary market liquidity is limited: the notes are not exchange-listed and secondary prices will likely be lower than the original issue price. The estimated value reported is model-driven and will be lower than the price to public; cash-flow treatment and tax characterization are subject to counsel confirmation.
