JPMorgan (AMJB) issues dual directional buffered notes on Nasdaq-100 and Russell 2000
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is offering capped dual directional buffered return enhanced notes linked to the lesser performing of the Nasdaq‑100 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on July 21, 2027. The notes target 1.50 times any positive return of the weaker index, subject to a Maximum Upside Return of at least 29%.
If the weaker index is flat or down by up to the 10% buffer, investors receive a positive, uncapped return equal to the absolute move of that index, but gains are capped at 10% in declining scenarios. If either index falls by more than 10%, principal is reduced one‑for‑one beyond the buffer and investors can lose up to 90% of their investment. The notes pay no interest, provide no dividends, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Financial, and are not listed, so liquidity may be limited. An illustrative estimated value is $972.10 per $1,000 note, with a minimum estimated value at issuance of $900.00 per $1,000 note.

FAQ
What are the JPMorgan AMJB capped dual directional buffered notes linked to Nasdaq-100 and Russell 2000?
They are structured notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., that mature on July 21, 2027 and are linked to the lesser performing of the Nasdaq‑100 Index and the Russell 2000 Index. Returns at maturity depend on how the weaker index performs over the term.
How do returns on the JPMorgan AMJB notes work at maturity?
If both indices end above their initial levels, investors receive the $1,000 principal plus 1.50× the return of the weaker index, capped at a Maximum Upside Return of at least 29.00%. If the weaker index is flat or down by up to the 10.00% buffer, investors get a positive return equal to the absolute move of that index, with a maximum of $1,100.00 per $1,000 note in negative scenarios.
What downside risk do investors in the JPMorgan AMJB notes face?
If the final level of either index is more than 10.00% below its initial level, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% drop beyond the buffer, based on the weaker index. Losses can reach up to 90.00% of the principal amount, so a severe decline in the lesser performing index can leave only $100.00 per $1,000 note.
Do the JPMorgan AMJB notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest, and investors do not receive dividends on the stocks in either index or any shareholder rights. All potential return comes from the payoff at maturity, which depends on the performance of the lesser performing index.
What are the credit and liquidity characteristics of the JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., so payments depend on their credit. The notes will not be listed on an exchange, and any resale will likely depend on prices at which J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is willing to buy, which may be lower than the issue price.
What is the estimated value of the JPMorgan AMJB notes relative to the price to the public?
If priced on the reference date, the notes would have an estimated value of about $972.10 per $1,000 principal amount, and the final estimated value at issuance will be at least $900.00 per $1,000. The difference between the price to the public and the estimated value reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs.
