High-yield notes from JPMorgan (NYSE: AMJB) tied to silver and ETFs
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering callable contingent interest notes linked to the worst performer among the iShares Silver Trust, VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF and VanEck Semiconductor ETF, maturing on January 25, 2029. Each note has a $1,000 denomination and can pay a monthly contingent coupon of at least $16.6667 per $1,000, equivalent to a contingent interest rate of at least 20.00% per year, but only if on each review date all three funds stay at or above 60.00% of their initial value.
JPMorgan may redeem the notes early on specified interest payment dates starting July 23, 2026, paying $1,000 plus any due contingent interest. At maturity, if the notes are not called and any fund finishes below 50.00% of its initial value, the repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss of the worst-performing fund, and investors can lose more than 50.00% and up to all of their principal. The notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., with an indicative estimated value of about $956.50 per $1,000 and a minimum estimated value of $900.00 per $1,000.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB callable contingent interest notes described here?
The notes are structured debt securities issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. They offer potential monthly contingent interest and return of principal based on the performance of the iShares Silver Trust, VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF and VanEck Semiconductor ETF.
How is the interest on these JPMorgan AMJB notes calculated and paid?
For each $1,000 note, you may receive a Contingent Interest Payment of at least $16.6667 (at least 20.00% per annum, or at least 1.66667% per month) on each Interest Payment Date, but only if on the related Review Date the closing price of each fund is at or above 60.00% of its Initial Value. If any fund is below its Interest Barrier, no interest is paid for that period.
When can these JPMorgan AMJB notes be called early and what do investors receive?
JPMorgan may, at its option, redeem the notes early in whole (but not in part) on any Interest Payment Date other than the first five and the final date. The earliest early redemption date is July 23, 2026. On an early redemption, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any contingent interest due for the preceding Review Date, and no further payments will be made.
How is principal on the JPMorgan AMJB notes protected or at risk at maturity?
If the notes are not redeemed early and on the final Review Date each fund is at or above 50.00% of its Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 per note plus any final contingent interest. If any fund is below its 50.00% Trigger Value, the maturity payment becomes $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Least Performing Fund Return, so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline of the worst-performing fund from its Initial Value, potentially losing more than 50% and up to their entire principal.
What is the estimated value of these JPMorgan AMJB structured notes at issuance?
If the notes priced on the date of the document, the estimated value would be approximately $956.50 per $1,000 principal amount. The issuer states that when terms are set, the estimated value will be provided and will be not less than $900.00 per $1,000. This estimated value reflects internal funding rates, hedging costs and selling commissions.
What are key risks of investing in these JPMorgan AMJB callable contingent interest notes?
Major risks include the possibility of losing more than 50.00% and up to all principal if the worst-performing fund finishes below its Trigger Value, and the risk of receiving no interest at all if any fund stays below its Interest Barrier on all Review Dates. The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. They are not listed, may have limited liquidity and are expected to have a secondary market value below the $1,000 issue price.
Which underlying funds drive the payoff on these JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The payoff is linked to the Least Performing Fund among three underlyings: the iShares Silver Trust (SLV), which tracks silver prices; the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), focused on global small-cap gold and silver miners; and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), which tracks large U.S.-listed semiconductor companies.
