Auto-call notes linked to MerQube Bitcoin Index — JPM (priced July 31, 2026)
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the MerQube Bitcoin Vol Advantage Index, expected to price on or about July 31, 2026 and settle on or about August 5, 2031. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount.
The notes pay a Contingent Interest Payment on each Review Date only if the Index is at or above an Interest Barrier of 60.00% of the Initial Value; the Contingent Interest Rate will be at least 14.50% per annum. The Index level includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost. The notes are automatically callable beginning on February 1, 2027; maturity is August 5, 2031. Investors face credit risk of the issuer and guarantor and may lose more than 40.00% of principal at maturity (and could lose all principal) if the Final Value is below the Trigger Value.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- The Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a notional financing cost, which will materially drag Index performance and reduce the likelihood of interest payments and principal preservation.
- If the notes are not called and the Final Value is below the Trigger Value, an investor will lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline in the Index, meaning losses can exceed 40.00% and may be total.
Insights
Product mixes elevated yield opportunity with substantial index-level and leverage-related risks.
The notes offer a minimum 14.50% contingent coupon and auto-call mechanics tied to review dates through July 31, 2031. Key drivers are the Index’s 6.0% daily deduction, notional financing cost and weekly leverage adjustments, which materially influence expected returns and the derivative pricing embedded in the notes.
The effective economics depend on future IBIT Fund volatility and the Index rebalance rules; the product suits investors who accept principal risk and limited upside (coupon-limited) in exchange for contingent high coupon outcomes. Subsequent pricing details in the pricing supplement will define final investor economics.
Credit exposure to JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co. is the primary repayment risk.
These notes are unsecured obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC and fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Payments depend on the issuer and guarantor creditworthiness; any deterioration would likely reduce secondary market values and could cause loss of principal irrespective of Index performance.
Liquidity is limited: notes will not be exchange-listed and secondary purchases depend on JPMS’s willingness to trade. Monitor credit-market signals and published secondary prices after issuance for price discovery.
