JPMorgan (JPM) prices 5-year buffered notes tied to MerQube tech index
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering 5-year buffered equity notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index. The Index targets implied volatility with exposure to the QQQ Fund via an unfunded total return position, subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction and a daily notional financing cost. The notes feature annual review dates and an automatic call if the Index is at or above 100% of its initial value, paying at least a 19.00% per annum call premium on the first review date, scaling up to at least 95.00% by the final review date.
The notes provide a 30.00% buffer amount at maturity: if the final index value is down by no more than 30%, investors receive full principal; below that level, losses are linear and can reach most or all principal. The minimum denomination is $1,000, and the estimated value at pricing will not be less than $900 per $1,000 note, which is expected to be lower than the issue price. Any payment is subject to the credit risks of both the issuer and guarantor, and investors face risks including leverage in the Index, potential lack of liquidity, complex tax treatment, and multiple conflicts of interest.

Since February 9, 2024 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), the Underlying Asset has been an unfunded position in the Invesco QQQ Trust SM , Series 1 (the “QQQ Fund”), calculated as the excess of the total return of the QQQ Fund over a notional financing cost. Prior to the Amendment Effective Date, the Underlying Asset was an unfunded rolling position in E-Mini Nasdaq-100 futures. The Index is subject to a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, and the performance of the Underlying Asset is subject to a notional financing cost deducted daily. The investment objective of the QQQ Fund is to seek to track the investment results, before fees and expenses, of the Nasdaq-100 Index ® .

The price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to purchase notes from you in the secondary market, if at all, may result in a significant loss of your principal. ● The tax consequences of the notes may be uncertain. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes. Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest ● Potential conflicts: We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes, and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the notes and the estimated value of the notes when the terms of the notes are set. It is possible that such hedging or other trading activities of J.P. Morgan or its affiliates could result in substantial returns for J.P. Morgan and its affiliates while the value of the notes declines. ● Our affiliate, JPMS, worked with MerQube (the “Index Sponsor”) in developing the guidelines and policies governing the composition and calculation of the Underlying.
