JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC filed a free writing prospectus on November 3, 2026, disclosing preliminary terms for 2.5-year Capped Dual Directional Buffered Equity Notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index and the S&P 500 Index, with a scheduled pricing date of November 24, 2026.
Key Highlights
- Issuer and guarantor: JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is the issuer, with JPMorgan Chase & Co. serving as guarantor of the notes.
- Minimum denomination: $1,000 per note, with an estimated value of not less than $900.00 per $1,000 principal amount when terms are set.
- Maximum upside return: At least 41.60%, applicable when the lesser performing underlying return is positive.
- Buffer amount: 15.00%, protecting against the first 15% of decline in either underlying index.
- Maturity date: May 30, 2029, with an observation date of May 24, 2029.
- CUSIP: 46661QHC2, filed pursuant to Rule 433, Registration Statement Nos. 333-293684 and 333-293684-01.
- Dual directional feature: If the lesser performing underlying declines by up to the buffer amount, the filing states the payment reflects the absolute value of that decline, capped effectively at 15.00% on the return.
Structure and Payout Terms for the NDX/SPX Buffered Notes
According to the filing, the notes are structured so that the payment at maturity is determined by the lesser performing of the two underlyings, the Nasdaq-100 Index and the S&P 500 Index. If both underlyings finish above their initial values, the investor receives $1,000 plus the lesser performing underlying return, subject to the maximum upside return of at least 41.60%. The filing notes this cap applies regardless of how far above the initial value either index finishes, as illustrated by a scenario in which a 65.00% lesser performing return still yields only a 41.60% total return on the notes.
The dual directional feature, as described in the filing, allows for a positive return even when the lesser performing underlying declines, provided that decline does not exceed the 15.00% buffer amount. In those circumstances, the payment reflects the absolute value of the underlying return, with the filing specifying a maximum payment of $1,150.00 per $1,000 principal amount note under this scenario. If either underlying falls by more than the buffer amount, however, the investor bears losses beyond that threshold, and the filing states that a 100.00% decline in the lesser performing underlying would result in an -85.00% total return on the notes.
The filing discloses several selected risks specific to this product. JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, as a finance subsidiary, "has no independent activities and has limited assets," according to the filing. The filing also notes that JPMorgan Chase & Co. is itself a current constituent of the S&P 500 Index, which the filing identifies as a risk factor. Additionally, the estimated value of the notes is determined by reference to an internal funding rate and will be lower than the original issue price to the public.
