JPMorgan Chase (AMJB) issues dual directional buffered notes tied to Dow & S&P 500
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering structured notes that track the lesser performer of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index, maturing in December 2027. The notes provide 1.25 times any positive return of the weaker index, capped at a Maximum Upside Return of at least 18.50%, and can also deliver a positive return if that index falls by up to the 20.00% buffer.
If either index declines by more than 20.00%, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% decline, for a maximum loss of 80.00% of principal. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured and unsubordinated, are not listed on an exchange, and their value and repayment depend on the credit of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The preliminary estimated value is about $982.60 per $1,000 note, and the final estimated value will not be less than $900.00.
