JPMorgan launches auto-callable notes linked to MerQube index
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering auto-callable structured notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes price on or about June 10, 2026 and are expected to settle on or about June 15, 2026.
The notes pay no interest and feature an automatic call beginning on June 14, 2027 if the Index closes at or above a 100% Call Value on a Review Date; each call pays principal plus a specified Call Premium Amount. If not called, maturity on June 15, 2033 pays principal plus an Additional Amount equal to 100% Participation of any positive Index Return, subject to credit risk of the issuer and guarantor. The Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a deducted notional financing cost, which will materially reduce index performance. The pricing supplement discloses an estimated value of approximately $914.20 per $1,000 note and a minimum estimated value of $900.00.

Insights
Notes combine capped early-call payoffs with full upside at maturity but include a steep daily deduction.
The structure offers auto-call opportunities starting in June 2027 with increasing Call Premium Amounts by Review Date; Participation Rate is 100.00%. A 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost reduce index returns and are central to pricing.
Primary risks are index drag from the daily deduction, leverage-related volatility in the index, and issuer/guarantor credit exposure. Secondary market liquidity and repurchase pricing depend on JPMS willingness to trade and internal funding rates.
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the notes are expected to be contingent payment debt instruments.
Under the disclosed opinion, holders generally must accrue original issue discount using a comparable yield; taxable treatment on sale, call or maturity depends on accrued OID and adjusted basis. Section 871(m) analysis is addressed and issuer expects it not to apply to these notes, but the IRS could disagree.
Purchasers should consult their tax advisers about accruals, potential withholding for Non-U.S. Holders, and the announced comparable yield and projected payment schedule that will be provided in the pricing supplement.
