The J.P. Morgan Large-Cap Dynamic BlendSM 5 Index
The J.P. Morgan Large-Cap Dynamic BlendSM 5 Index (the
“Index”) was developed and is maintained and calculated by J.P.
Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMS”). The Index has been calculated on a
“live” basis (i.e., using real-time data) since March 2,
2022. The Index is reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker
symbol “JPUSSDB5 Index.”
The Index attempts to provide a dynamic rules-based allocation to
the J.P. Morgan US Large Cap Equities Futures Index (the “Equity
Constituent”) and the J.P. Morgan 2Y US Treasury Futures Index (the
“Bond Constituent” and, together with the Equity Constituent, the
“Portfolio Constituents”) while targeting a level volatility of
5.0% (the “Target Volatility”). The Index tracks the return of (a)
a notional dynamic portfolio consisting of the Equity Constituent
and the Bond Constituent, less (b) the daily deduction of 0.50% per
annum (the “Index Deduction”). Each futures contract underlying a
Portfolio Constituent as of a particular time is referred to as an
“Underlying Futures Contract.”
|
· |
The Equity Constituent is an excess return index that tracks
the return of a notional rolling futures position in futures
contracts on the S&P 500® Index. For additional
information about the Equity Constituent, see “Background on the
J.P. Morgan Futures Indices” in the accompanying underlying
supplement. |
|
· |
The Bond Constituent is an excess return index that tracks the
return of a notional rolling futures position in futures contracts
on 2-Year U.S. treasury notes. For additional information about the
Bond Constituent, see “Background on the J.P. Morgan Futures
Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement. |
The Index provides a diversified exposure that rebalances daily
based on measures of market risk and diversification to attempt to
deliver stable volatility over time.
Considerations Relating to the Volatility of the Portfolio
Constituents. Under normal market conditions, the Equity
Constituent’s realized volatility has tended to be relatively more
variable than the Bond Constituent’s realized volatility.
Consequently, and because the Index seeks to maintain an annualized
realized volatility approximately equal to the Target Volatility,
the Index methodology may be more likely to shift exposure from the
Equity Constituent to the Bond Constituent during periods of
relatively higher market volatility and to shift exposure from the
Bond Constituent to the Equity Constituent under normal market
conditions exhibiting relatively lower market volatility.
In general, equity markets have historically been more likely to
outperform fixed-income markets during periods of relatively lower
market volatility and to underperform fixed-income markets during
periods of relatively higher market volatility. However, there can
be no assurance that the Index allocation strategy will achieve its
intended results or that the Index will outperform any alternative
index or strategy that might reference the Portfolio Constituents.
Past performance should not be considered indicative of future
performance.
In any initial selection between two eligible notional portfolios,
the Index will select the portfolio that has the higher allocation
to the Portfolio Constituent with a higher realized volatility, as
described below, which generally will cause the Equity Constituent
to receive a higher allocation than if the portfolio that has the
higher allocation to the Portfolio Constituent with a lower
realized volatility were selected.
Furthermore, under normal market conditions, the Equity
Constituent’s realized volatility tends to be significantly higher
than the Bond Constituent’s realized volatility. Under such
circumstances and because the Target Volatility is 5.0%, the Index
is generally expected to be more heavily weighted towards the Bond
Constituent. Past performance should not be considered indicative
of future performance. Under circumstances where the Equity
Constituent’s realized volatility is significantly higher than that
of the Bond Constituent, the performance of the Index is expected
to be influenced to a greater extent by the performance of the
Equity Constituent than by the performance of the Bond Constituent,
unless the weight of the Bond Constituent is significantly greater
than the weight of the Equity Constituent.
Consequently, even in cases where the allocation to the Bond
Constituent is greater than the allocation to the Equity
Constituent, the Index may be influenced to a greater extent by the
performance of the Equity Constituent than by the performance of
the Bond Constituent because, under some conditions, the greater
allocation to the Bond Constituent will not be sufficiently large
to offset the greater realized volatility of the Equity
Constituent.
Calculating the level of the Index. On any given day, the
closing level of the Index reflects (a) the weighted return
performance of the Portfolio Constituents less (b) the 0.50% per
annum daily Index Deduction. The Index Level was set equal to
100.00 on July 25, 1990, the base date of the Index. The Index is
an “excess return” index because, through the Portfolio
Constituents, it provides notional exposure to futures contract
returns that reflect changes in the price of those futures
contracts, as well as their “roll” returns described below. The
Index is not a “total return” index because it does not reflect
interest that could be earned on funds notionally committed to the
trading of futures contracts.
No assurance can be given that the investment strategy used to
construct the Index will achieve its intended results or that the
Index will be successful or will outperform any alternative index
or strategy that might reference the Portfolio

BlendSM 5 Index
|
 |
Constituents. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that the
realized volatility of the Index will approximate the Target
Volatility. The actual realized volatility of the Index may be
greater or less than the Target Volatility.
If the aggregate weight of the Portfolio Constituents in the
Index is less than 100%, the Index will not be fully invested, and
any uninvested portion will earn no return. The Index Deduction is
deducted daily at a rate of 0.50% per annum, even when the Index is
not fully invested.
The Index is described as a “notional” or “synthetic” portfolio
of assets because there is no actual portfolio of assets to which
any person is entitled or in which any person has any ownership
interest. The Index merely references certain assets, the
performance of which will be used as a reference point for
calculating the level of the Index.
See “The J.P. Morgan Large-Cap Dynamic BlendSM 5
Index” in the accompanying underlying supplement for more
information about the Index.

Hypothetical Payout Profile
The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total
return and payment at maturity on the notes linked to a
hypothetical Index. The “total return” as used in this pricing
supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results
from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount
note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns and payments set
forth below assume the following:
|
· |
an Initial Value of 100.00; and |
|
· |
a Contingent Digital Return of 21.00%. |
The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 has been chosen for
illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual
Initial Value. The actual Initial Value will be the closing level
of the Index on the Pricing Date and will be provided in the
pricing supplement. For historical data regarding the actual
closing levels of the Index, please see the historical information
set forth under “Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical
Information” in this pricing supplement.
Each hypothetical total return or hypothetical payment at maturity
set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be
the actual total return or payment at maturity applicable to a
purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following
table and graph have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The following graph demonstrates the hypothetical payments at
maturity on the notes for a sub-set of Index Returns detailed in
the table above (-80% to 80%). There can be no assurance that the
performance of the Index will result in a payment at maturity in
excess of $1,000.00 per $1,000 principal amount note, subject to
the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.

How the Notes Work
Upside Scenario:
If the Final Value is greater than or equal to the Initial Value,
investors will receive at maturity the $1,000 principal amount
plus a fixed return equal to the Contingent Digital Return
of at least 21.00%, which reflects the maximum return at
maturity.
|
· |
Assuming a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 21.00%, if
the closing level of the Index increases 5.00%, investors will
receive at maturity a 21.00% return, or $1,210.00 per $1,000
principal amount note. |
|
· |
Assuming a hypothetical Contingent Digital Return of 21.00%, if
the closing level of the Index increases 40.00%, investors will
receive at maturity a 21.00% return, or $1,210.00 per $1,000
principal amount note. |
Par Scenario:
If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value, investors will
receive at maturity the principal amount of their notes.
The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the notes
shown above apply only if you hold the notes for their entire
term. These hypotheticals do not reflect the fees or expenses
that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If
these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and
hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the notes involves significant risks. These risks
are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the
accompanying prospectus supplement, product supplement and
underlying supplement.
Risks Relating to the Notes Generally
|
· |
THE NOTES MAY NOT PAY MORE THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AT
MATURITY — |
If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value, you will receive
only the principal amount of your notes at maturity, and you will
not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other
factors relating to the value of money over time.
|
· |
THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX WILL INCLUDE A 0.50% PER ANNUM DAILY
DEDUCTION — |
The Index is subject to a 0.50% per annum daily deduction. As a
result of the deduction of this index fee, the level of the Index
will trail the value of a hypothetical identically constituted
synthetic portfolio from which no such fee or cost is deducted.
|
● |
YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE CONTINGENT
DIGITAL RETURN, |
regardless of any appreciation of the Index, which may be
significant.
PS-5
| Structured Investments
Capped Digital Notes Linked to the J.P. Morgan Large-Cap Dynamic
BlendSM 5 Index
|
 |
|
· |
YOUR ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE CONTINGENT DIGITAL RETURN MAY
TERMINATE ON THE OBSERVATION DATE — |
If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value, you will not be
entitled to receive the Contingent Digital Return at maturity.
|
● |
CREDIT RISKS OF JPMORGAN FINANCIAL AND JPMORGAN
CHASE & CO. — |
Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the
notes. Any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads, as
determined by the market for taking that credit risk, is likely to
adversely affect the value of the notes. If we and JPMorgan
Chase & Co. were to default on our payment
obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the
notes and you could lose your entire investment.
|
● |
AS A FINANCE SUBSIDIARY, JPMORGAN FINANCIAL HAS NO
INDEPENDENT OPERATIONS AND HAS LIMITED ASSETS — |
As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we
have no independent operations beyond the issuance and
administration of our securities. Aside from the initial capital
contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially
all of our assets relate to obligations of our affiliates to make
payments under loans made by us or other intercompany agreements.
As a result, we are dependent upon payments from our affiliates to
meet our obligations under the notes. If these affiliates do not
make payments to us and we fail to make payments on the notes, you
may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan
Chase & Co., and that guarantee will rank pari
passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations
of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
|
● |
THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST. |
|
● |
YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PORTFOLIO
CONSTITUENTS, THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS OR THE SECURITIES
INCLUDED IN THE INDEX UNDERLYING THE UNDERLYING FUTURES
CONTRACTS. |
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
Accordingly, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes
is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing
to buy the notes. You may not be able to sell your notes. The notes
are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly,
you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.
|
● |
THE FINAL TERMS AND VALUATION OF THE NOTES WILL BE PROVIDED
IN THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT — |
You should consider your potential investment in the notes based on
the minimums for the estimated value of the notes and the
Contingent Digital Return.
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with
the notes. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.’s economic interests are potentially
adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. It is
possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our
affiliates in connection with the notes could result in substantial
returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the notes
declines. Please refer to “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to
Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement. See
also “— Risks Relating to the Index — Our Affiliate, JPMS, Is the
Index Sponsor and the Index Calculation Agent of the Index and Each
Portfolio Constituent and May Adjust the Index or Each Portfolio
Constituent in a Way that Affects Its Level” below.
JPMS is one of the primary dealers through which the U.S. Federal
Reserve conducts open-market purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury
and federal agency securities, including U.S. Treasury notes. These
activities may affect the prices and yields on the U.S. Treasury
notes, which may in turn affect the level of the Bond Constituent
and the level of the Bond Constituent. JPMS has no obligation to
take into consideration your interests as a holder of the notes
when undertaking these activities.
|
● |
OUR PARENT COMPANY, JPMORGAN CHASE & CO., IS
CURRENTLY ONE OF THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE UP THE S&P
500® INDEX, THE REFERENCE INDEX UNDERLYING THE
UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS OF THE EQUITY CONSTITUENT, |
but JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation
to consider your interests in taking any corporate action that
might affect the securities included in the reference index
underlying the Underlying Futures Contracts of the Equity
Constituent.

JPMS AND ITS AFFILIATES MAY HAVE PUBLISHED RESEARCH,
EXPRESSED OPINIONS OR PROVIDED RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE
INCONSISTENT WITH INVESTING IN OR HOLDING THE NOTES, AND MAY DO SO
IN THE FUTURE — |
Any research, opinions or recommendations could affect the market
value of the notes. Investors should undertake their own
independent investigation of the merits of investing in the notes
and the Portfolio Constituents and the securities composing the
Portfolio Constituents.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market
Prices of the Notes
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES WILL BE LOWER THAN THE
ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE (PRICE TO PUBLIC) OF THE NOTES — |
The estimated value of the notes is only an estimate determined by
reference to several factors. The original issue price of the
notes will exceed the estimated value of the notes because costs
associated with selling, structuring and hedging the notes are
included in the original issue price of the notes. These
costs include the selling commissions, the projected profits, if
any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks
inherent in hedging our obligations under the notes and the
estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the notes.
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES DOES NOT REPRESENT FUTURE
VALUES OF THE NOTES AND MAY DIFFER FROM OTHERS’ ESTIMATES
— |
See “The Estimated Value of the Notes” in this pricing
supplement.
|
· |
THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES IS DERIVED BY REFERENCE TO
AN INTERNAL FUNDING RATE — |
The internal funding rate used in the determination of the
estimated value of the notes may differ from the market-implied
funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar
maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its
affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other
things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the
notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing
liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those
costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based
on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be
incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market
replacement funding rate for the notes. The use of an
internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may
have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any secondary
market prices of the notes. See “The Estimated Value of the
Notes” in this pricing supplement.
|
· |
THE VALUE OF THE NOTES AS PUBLISHED BY JPMS (AND WHICH MAY
BE REFLECTED ON CUSTOMER ACCOUNT STATEMENTS) MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE
THEN-CURRENT ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES FOR A LIMITED TIME PERIOD
— |
We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original
issue price of the notes will be partially paid back to you in
connection with any repurchases of your notes by JPMS in an amount
that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined
period. See “Secondary Market Prices of the Notes” in this
pricing supplement for additional information relating to this
initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your
notes during this initial period may be lower than the value of the
notes as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer
account statements).
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL LIKELY BE LOWER
THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE OF THE NOTES — |
Any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than
the original issue price of the notes because, among other things,
secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary
market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also,
because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and estimated hedging costs that
are included in the original issue price of the notes. As a
result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy the
notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is
likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by
you prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss
to you.
|
· |
SECONDARY MARKET PRICES OF THE NOTES WILL BE IMPACTED BY
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS — |
The secondary market price of the notes during their term will be
impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may
either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling
commissions, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging
costs and the level of the Index. Additionally, independent
pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a
price for the notes, which may also be reflected on customer
account statements. This price may be different (higher or
lower) than the price of the notes, if any, at which JPMS may be
willing to purchase your notes in the secondary market. See

Risks Relating to the Index
|
· |
OUR AFFILIATE, JPMS, IS THE INDEX SPONSOR AND THE INDEX
CALCULATION AGENT OF THE INDEX AND EACH PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENT AND
MAY ADJUST THE INDEX OR EACH PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENT IN A WAY THAT
AFFECTS ITS LEVEL — |
JPMS, one of our affiliates, currently acts as the index sponsor
and the index calculation agent for the Index and the Portfolio
Constituents and is responsible for calculating and maintaining the
Index and the Portfolio Constituents and developing the guidelines
and policies governing their composition and calculation. In
performing these duties, JPMS may have interests adverse to the
interests of the holders of the notes, which may affect your return
on the notes, particularly where JPMS, as the index sponsor and the
index calculation agent of the Index and the Portfolio
Constituents, is entitled to exercise discretion. The rules
governing the Index and the Portfolio Constituents may be amended
at any time by the index sponsor of the Index and the Portfolio
Constituents, in its sole discretion. The rules also permit the use
of discretion by the index sponsor and the index calculation agent
of the Index and the Portfolio Constituents in specific instances,
including, but not limited to, the determination of whether to
replace a Portfolio Constituent with a substitute or successor upon
the occurrence of certain events affecting that Portfolio
Constituent, the selection of any substitute or successor and the
determination of the levels to be used in the event of market
disruptions that affect the ability of the index calculation agent
of the Index and the Portfolio Constituents to calculate and
publish the levels of the Index and the Portfolio Constituents and
the interpretation of the rules governing the Index and the
Portfolio Constituents. Although JPMS, acting as the index sponsor
and the index calculation agent, will make all determinations and
take all action in relation to the Index and the Portfolio
Constituents acting in good faith, it should be noted that JPMS may
have interests adverse to the interests of the holders of the notes
and the policies and judgments for which JPMS is responsible could
have an impact, positive or negative, on the level of the Index and
the value of your notes.
Although judgments, policies and determinations concerning the

THE INDEX MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL OR OUTPERFORM ANY
ALTERNATIVE STRATEGY THAT MIGHT BE EMPLOYED IN RESPECT OF THE
PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENTS — |
The Index follows a notional rules-based proprietary strategy that
operates on the basis of pre-determined rules. Under this strategy,
the Index seeks to maintain an annualized realized volatility
approximately equal to the Target Volatility of 5.0% by rebalancing
its exposures to the Portfolio Constituents on each day based on
two measures of realized portfolio volatility: a shorter-term
volatility measure and a longer-term volatility measure. By seeking
to maintain an annualized realized volatility approximately equal
to the Target Volatility, the Index may underperform an alternative
strategy that seeks to maintain a higher annualized realized
volatility or an alternative strategy that does not seek to
maintain a level volatility.
In addition, on each day, the Index generally selects the notional
portfolio identified for the volatility measure that has the lower
allocation to the Equity Constituent as the notional portfolio to
be tracked by the Index. The Index’s selection of the notional
portfolio with the lower allocation to the Equity Constituent may
be more likely to result in the Index tracking a notional portfolio
with a lower realized volatility than if the Index were to select
the notional portfolio with the higher allocation to the Equity
Constituent. No assurance can be given that the investment strategy
on which the Index is based will be successful or that the Index
will outperform any alternative strategy that might be employed in
respect of the Portfolio Constituents.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY NOT APPROXIMATE ITS TARGET VOLATILITY
— |
No assurance can be given that the Index will maintain an
annualized realized volatility that approximates the Target
Volatility. The actual realized volatility of the Index may be
greater or less than the Target Volatility. The Index seeks to
maintain an annualized realized volatility approximately equal to
the Target Volatility of 5.0% by rebalancing its exposures to the
Portfolio Constituents on each day based on two measures of
realized portfolio volatility. However, there is no guarantee that
trends exhibited by either measure of realized portfolio volatility
will continue in the future. The volatility of a notional portfolio
on any day may change quickly and unexpectedly. Accordingly, the
actual realized annualized volatility of the Index on a daily basis
may be greater than or less than the Target Volatility, which may
adversely affect the level of the Index and the value of the
notes.

THE INDEX MAY BE SIGNIFICANTLY UNINVESTED — |
For each volatility measure on each day, the Index seeks to
identify a notional portfolio composed of the Portfolio
Constituents that has an annualized realized volatility determined
for that volatility measure approximately equal to the Target
Volatility of 5.0% and an aggregate weight of 100%. If the Index
identifies and selects such a notional portfolio for a volatility
measure, but the weight of either Portfolio Constituent is greater
than 100%, the weight of that Portfolio Constituent in the notional
portfolio selected for that volatility measure on that day will be
100% and, if the weight of either Portfolio Constituent is less
than 0%, the weight of that Portfolio Constituent in the notional
portfolio selected for that volatility measure on that day will be
0%. In addition, if there is no such notional portfolio for a
volatility measure, the Index selects for that volatility measure
on that day the notional portfolio with the lowest realized
volatility.
As a result of applying a cap and floor and in the case of
selecting the notional portfolio with the lowest realized
volatility, the resulting notional portfolio may be greater than or
less than 5.0% for the relevant volatility measure. If the
annualized realized volatility of the notional portfolio selected
for a volatility measure on any day is greater than 5.0%, that
notional portfolio will be adjusted so that the weight of each
Portfolio Constituent in that notional portfolio will be reduced
proportionately to achieve a notional portfolio that has an
annualized realized volatility for the relevant volatility measure
of 5.0%. Under these circumstances, the aggregate weight of the
Portfolio Constituents in that notional portfolio will be less than
100%.
If the Index tracks a notional portfolio with an aggregate weight
that is less than 100%, the Index will not be fully invested, and
any uninvested portion will earn no return. The Index may be
significantly uninvested on any given day, and will realize only a
portion of any gains due to appreciation of the Portfolio
Constituents on any such day. The Index Deduction is deducted daily
at a rate of 0.50% per annum, even when the Index is not fully
invested.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY BE MORE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE EQUITY CONSTITUENT THAN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BOND
CONSTITUENT IN GENERAL OVER TIME — |
In any initial selection between two eligible notional portfolios,
the Index will select the portfolio that has the higher allocation
to the Portfolio Constituent with a higher realized volatility, as
described under “The J.P. Morgan Large-Cap Dynamic
BlendSM 5 Index” in the accompanying underlying
supplement, which generally will cause the Equity Constituent to
receive a higher allocation than if the portfolio that has the
higher allocation to the Portfolio Constituent with a lower
realized volatility were selected.
Furthermore, under normal market conditions, the Equity
Constituent’s realized volatility tends to be significantly higher
than the Bond Constituent’s realized volatility. Under such
circumstances and because the Target Volatility is 5.0%, the Index
is generally expected to be more heavily weighted towards the Bond
Constituent. However, under circumstances where the Equity
Constituent’s realized volatility is significantly higher than that
of the Bond Constituent, the performance of the Index is expected
to be influenced to a greater extent by the performance of the
Equity Constituent than by the performance of the Bond Constituent,
unless the weight of the Bond Constituent is significantly greater
than the weight of the Equity Constituent.
Consequently, even in cases where the allocation to the Bond
Constituent is greater than the allocation to the Equity
Constituent, the Index may be influenced to a greater extent by the
performance of the Equity Constituent than by the performance of
the Bond Constituent because, under some conditions, the greater
allocation to the Bond Constituent will not be sufficiently large
to offset the greater realized volatility of the Equity
Constituent.
Accordingly, the level of the Index may decline if the value of the
Equity Constituent declines, even if the value of the Bond
Constituent increases at the same time. See also “— Risks Relating
to the Index — The Returns of the Portfolio Constituents May Offset
Each Other or May Become Correlated in Decline” below.
|
· |
A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE INDEX’S EXPOSURE MAY BE
ALLOCATED TO THE BOND CONSTITUENT — |
Under normal market conditions, the Equity Constituent has tended
to exhibit a realized volatility that is higher than the Target
Volatility and that is higher than the realized volatility of the
Bond Constituent in general over time. As a result, the Index will
generally need to reduce its exposure to the Equity Constituent in
order to approximate the Target Volatility. Therefore, the Index
may have significant exposure for an extended period of time to the
Bond Constituent, and that exposure may be greater, perhaps
significantly greater, than its exposure to the Equity Constituent.
Moreover, under certain circumstances, the Index may have no
exposure to the Equity Constituent. However, the returns of the
Bond Constituent may be significantly lower than the returns of the
Equity Constituent, and possibly even negative while the returns of
the Equity Constituent are positive, which will adversely affect
the level of the Index and any payment on, and the value of, the
notes.
|
· |
THE RETURNS OF THE PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENTS MAY OFFSET EACH
OTHER OR MAY BECOME CORRELATED IN DECLINE — |
At a time when the value of one Portfolio Constituent increases,
the value of the other Portfolio Constituent may not increase as
much or may even decline. This may offset the potentially positive
effect of the performance of the former Portfolio Constituent on
the performance of the Index. During the term of the notes, it is
possible that the value of the Index may decline even if the
value
PS-9
| Structured Investments
Capped Digital Notes Linked to the J.P. Morgan Large-Cap Dynamic

|
 |
of one Portfolio Constituent rises, because of the offsetting
effect of a decline in the other Portfolio Constituent. It is also
possible that the returns of the Portfolio Constituents may be
positively correlated with each other. In this case, a decline in
one Portfolio Constituent would be accompanied by a decline in the
other Portfolio Constituent, which may adversely affect the
performance of the Index. As a result, the Index may not perform as
well as an alternative index that tracks only one Portfolio
Constituent or the other.

HYPOTHETICAL BACK-TESTED DATA RELATING TO THE INDEX DO NOT
REPRESENT ACTUAL HISTORICAL DATA AND ARE SUBJECT TO INHERENT
LIMITATIONS — |
The hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index set forth
under “Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical Information” in
this pricing supplement is purely theoretical and does not
represent the actual historical performance of the Index and has
not been verified by an independent third party. Hypothetical
back-tested performance measures have inherent limitations.
Alternative modelling techniques might produce significantly
different results and may prove to be more appropriate. Past
performance, and especially hypothetical back-tested performance,
is not indicative of future results. This type of information has
inherent limitations and you should carefully consider these
limitations before placing reliance on such information.
Hypothetical back-tested performance is derived by means of the
retroactive application of a back-tested model that has been
designed with the benefit of hindsight.
|
· |
THE INVESTMENT STRATEGY USED TO CONSTRUCT THE INDEX INVOLVES
DAILY ADJUSTMENTS TO ITS NOTIONAL EXPOSURE TO ITS PORTFOLIO
CONSTITUENTS — |
The Index is subject to daily adjustments to its notional exposure
to its Portfolio Constituents. By contrast, a notional portfolio
that is not subject to daily exposure adjustments in this manner
could see greater compounded gains over time through exposure to a
consistently and rapidly appreciating portfolio consisting of the
relevant Portfolio Constituents. Therefore, your return on the
notes may be less than the return you could realize on an
alternative investment in the relevant Portfolio Constituents that
is not subject to daily exposure adjustments. No assurance can be
given that the investment strategy used to construct the Index will
outperform any alternative investment in the Portfolio Constituents
of the Index.
|
· |
A PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENT OF THE INDEX MAY BE REPLACED BY A
SUBSTITUTE INDEX OR FUTURES CONTRACT IN CERTAIN EXTRAORDINARY
EVENTS — |
Following the occurrence of certain extraordinary events with
respect to a Portfolio Constituent as described in the accompanying
underlying supplement, a Portfolio Constituent may be replaced by a
substitute index or futures contract or the index calculation agent
may cease calculating and publishing in the Index. You should
realize that changing a Portfolio Constituent may affect the
performance of the Index, and therefore, the return on the notes,
as the substitute index or futures contract may perform
significantly better or worse than the original Portfolio
Constituent. For example, the substitute or successor Portfolio
Constituent may have higher fees or worse performance than the
original Portfolio Constituent.
Moreover, the policies of the sponsor of the substitute index or
ETF concerning the methodology and calculation of the substitute
index or ETF, including decisions regarding additions, deletions or
substitutions of the assets underlying the substitute index or ETF
could affect the level or price of the substitute index or ETF and
therefore the value of the notes. The amount payable on the notes
and their market value could also be affected if the sponsor of a
substitute index or the sponsor of the reference index of a
substitute ETF discontinues or suspends calculation or
dissemination of the relevant index, in which case it may become
difficult to determine the market value of the notes. The sponsor
of the substitute index or ETF will have no obligation to consider
your interests in calculating or revising such substitute index or
ETF.
|
· |
EACH PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENT IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS — |
The Portfolio Constituents each track the returns of the Underlying
Futures Contracts. The price of an Underlying Futures Contract
depends not only on the price of the underlying asset referenced by
the Underlying Futures Contract, but also on a range of other
factors, including but not limited to changing supply and demand
relationships, interest rates, governmental and regulatory policies
and the policies of the exchanges on which the Underlying Futures
Contracts trade. In addition, the futures markets are subject to
temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors,
including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation
of speculators and government regulation and intervention. These
factors and others can cause the prices of the Underlying Futures
Contracts to be volatile and could adversely affect the level of
each Portfolio Constituent and the Index and any payments on, and
the value of, your notes.

SUSPENSION OR DISRUPTIONS OF MARKET TRADING IN THE
UNDERLYING FUTURES CONTRACTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF YOUR
NOTES — |
Futures markets are subject to temporary distortions or other
disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity,
the participation of speculators, and government regulation and
intervention. In addition, futures exchanges generally have
regulations that limit the amount of the Underlying Futures
Contract price fluctuations that may occur in a single day. These
limits are generally referred to as “daily price fluctuation
limits” and the maximum or minimum price of a contract on any given
day as a result of these limits is referred to as a “limit price.”
Once the limit price has been reached in a particular contract, no
trades may be made at a price beyond the limit, or trading may be
limited for a set period of time. Limit prices have the effect of
precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the
liquidation of contracts at potentially disadvantageous times or
prices. These circumstances could delay the calculation of the
level of each Portfolio Constituent and could adversely affect the
level of each Portfolio Constituent and the Index and any payments
on, and the value of, your notes.
|
· |
AN INCREASE IN THE MARGIN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE UNDERLYING
FUTURES CONTRACTS INCLUDED IN THE PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENTS MAY
ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THAT PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENT — |
Futures exchanges require market participants to post collateral in
order to open and keep open positions in the Underlying Futures
Contracts. If an exchange increases the amount of collateral
required to be posted to hold positions in the Underlying Futures
Contracts, market participants who are unwilling or unable to post
additional collateral may liquidate their positions, which may
cause the price or liquidity of the relevant Underlying Futures
Contracts to decline significantly. As a result, the level of the
relevant Portfolio Constituent and the Index and any payments on,
and the value of, the notes may be adversely affected.
|
· |
THE INDEX MAY IN THE FUTURE INCLUDE UNDERLYING FUTURES
CONTRACTS THAT ARE NOT TRADED ON REGULATED FUTURES EXCHANGES
— |
The Index, through its exposure to the Portfolio Constituents, is
currently based solely on futures contracts traded on regulated
futures exchanges (referred to in the United States as “designated
contract markets”). If these exchange-traded futures contracts
cease to exist, or if the calculation agent for the Portfolio
Constituents substitutes an Underlying Futures Contract in certain
circumstances, the Index may in the future include futures contract
or over-the-counter contracts traded on trading facilities that are
subject to lesser degrees of regulation or, in some cases, no
substantive regulation. As a result, trading in such contracts, and
the manner in which prices and volumes are reported by the relevant
trading facilities, may not be subject to the provisions of, and
the protections afforded by, the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, or
other applicable statutes and related regulations that govern
trading on regulated U.S. futures exchanges or similar statutes and
regulations that govern trading on regulated non-U.S. futures
exchanges. In addition, many electronic trading facilities have
only recently initiated trading and do not have significant trading
histories. As a result, the trading of contracts on such
facilities, and the inclusion of such contracts in the Index,
through its exposure to the Portfolio Constituents, may be subject
to certain risks not presented by the Underlying Futures Contracts,
including risks related to the liquidity and price histories of the
relevant contracts.
|
· |
NEGATIVE ROLL RETURNS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNDERLYING FUTURES
CONTRACTS CONSTITUTING THE PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENTS MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PORTFOLIO CONSTITUENTS AND THE VALUE
OF THE NOTES — |
The Portfolio Constituents each reference Underlying Futures
Contracts. Unlike common equity securities, Underlying Futures
Contracts, by their terms, have stated expirations. As the
exchange-traded Underlying Futures Contracts that compose the
Portfolio Constituents approach expiration, they are replaced by
similar contracts that have a later expiration. For example, an
Underlying Futures Contract notionally purchased and held in June
may specify a September expiration date. As time passes, the
contract expiring in September is replaced by a contract for
delivery in December. This is accomplished by notionally selling
the September contract and notionally purchasing the December
contract. This process is referred to as “rolling.” Excluding other
considerations, if prices are higher in the distant delivery months
than in the nearer delivery months, the notional purchase of the
December contract would take place at a price that is higher than
the price of the September contract, thereby creating a negative
“roll return.” Negative roll returns adversely affect the returns
of the Portfolio Constituents and, therefore, the level of the
Index and any payments on, and the value of, the notes. Because of
the potential effects of negative roll returns, it is possible for
the value of a Portfolio Constituent to decrease significantly over
time, even when the near-term or spot prices of the underlying
assets or instruments are stable or increasing. In addition,
interest rates have been historically low for an extended period
and, if interest rates revert to their historical means, the
likelihood that a roll return related to any Portfolio Constituent
will be negative, as well as the adverse effect of negative roll
returns on any Portfolio Constituent, will increase.

Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical Information
The following graph sets forth the hypothetical back-tested
performance of the Index based on the hypothetical back-tested
weekly closing levels of the Index from January 5, 2018 through
February 25, 2022 and the historical performance of the Index based
on the weekly historical closing levels of the Index from March 4,
2022 through May 26, 2023. The Index was established on March 2,
2022, as represented by the vertical line in the following graph.
All data to the left of that vertical line reflect hypothetical
back-tested performance of the Index. All data to the right of that
vertical line reflect actual historical performance of the Index.
The closing level of the Index on May 26, 2023 was 232.11. We
obtained the closing levels above and below from the Bloomberg
Professional® service, without independent
verification.
The data for the hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index
set forth in the following graph are purely theoretical and do not
represent the actual historical performance of the Index. See
“Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Index —
Hypothetical Back-Tested Data Relating to the Index Do Not
Represent Actual Historical Data and Are Subject to Inherent
Limitations” above.
The hypothetical back-tested and historical closing levels of the
Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance,
and no assurance can be given as to the closing level of the Index
on the Pricing Date or the Observation Date. There can be no
assurance that the performance of the Index will result in a
payment at maturity in excess of your principal amount, subject to
the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan
Chase & Co.

The hypothetical back-tested closing levels of the Index have
inherent limitations and have not been verified by an independent
third party. These hypothetical back-tested closing levels are
determined by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested
model designed with the benefit of hindsight. Hypothetical
back-tested results are neither an indicator nor a guarantee of
future returns. No representation is made that an investment in the
notes will or is likely to achieve returns similar to those shown.
Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions would produce
different hypothetical back-tested closing levels of the Index that
might prove to be more appropriate and that might differ
significantly from the hypothetical back-tested closing levels of
the Index set forth above.
Tax Treatment
There is uncertainty regarding
the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the
notes due to the lack of governing authority. You should review
carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences,” and in particular the subsection thereof entitled
“Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes with a Term of More than
One Year — Notes Treated as Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in
the accompanying product supplement no. 3-I. Based on current
market conditions, we intend to treat the notes for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as “contingent payment debt instruments.”
Assuming this treatment is respected, as discussed in that
subsection, unlike a traditional debt instrument that provides for
periodic payments of interest at a single fixed rate, with respect
to which a cash-method investor generally recognizes income only
upon receipt of stated interest, you generally will be required to
accrue original issue discount (“OID”) on your notes in each
taxable year at the “comparable yield,” as determined by us,
although we will not make any payment with respect to the notes
until maturity. Upon sale or exchange (including at maturity), you
will recognize taxable income or loss equal to the difference
between the amount received from the sale or exchange and your
adjusted basis in the note, which generally will equal the cost
thereof, increased by the amount of OID you have accrued in respect
of the note. You generally must treat any income as interest income
and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of previous interest
inclusions, and the balance as capital loss. The deductibility of
capital losses is subject to limitations. Special rules may apply
if the amount payable at
PS-13
| Structured Investments
Capped Digital Notes Linked to the J.P. Morgan Large-Cap Dynamic
BlendSM 5 Index
|
 |
maturity is treated as becoming fixed prior to maturity. You should
consult your tax adviser concerning the application of these rules.
The discussions herein and in the accompanying product supplement
do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax
accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code. Purchasers who
are not initial purchasers of notes at their issue price should
consult their tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of
an investment in notes, including the treatment of the difference,
if any, between the basis in their notes and the notes’ adjusted
issue price.
Because our intended treatment of
the notes as CPDIs is based on current market conditions, we may
determine an alternative treatment is more appropriate based on
circumstances at the time of pricing. Our ultimate determination
will be binding on you, unless you properly disclose to the IRS an
alternative treatment. Also, the IRS may challenge the treatment of
the notes as CPDIs. If we determine not to treat the notes as
CPDIs, or if the IRS successfully challenges the treatment of the
notes as CPDIs, then the notes will be treated as debt instruments
that are not CPDIs and, unless treated as issued with less than a
specified de minimis amount of original issue discount, could
(depending on the facts at the time of pricing) require the accrual
of original issue discount as ordinary interest income based on a
yield to maturity different from (and possibly higher than) the
comparable yield. Accordingly, under this treatment, your annual
taxable income from (and adjusted tax basis in) the notes could be
higher or lower than if the notes were treated as CPDIs, and any
loss recognized upon a disposition of the notes (including upon
maturity) would be capital loss, the deductibility of which is
subject to limitations. Accordingly, this alternative treatment
could result in adverse tax consequences to you.
Section 871(m) of the Code and
Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”)
generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty
applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S.
Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to
U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Section 871(m)
provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime, including
for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet
requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations.
Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of
Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2025 that do
not have a delta of one with respect to underlying securities that
could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax
purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based on certain
determinations made by us, we expect that Section 871(m) will not
apply to the notes with regard to Non-U.S. Holders. Our
determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree
with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its
application may depend on your particular circumstances, including
whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an
Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding
the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the
pricing supplement for the notes. You should consult your tax
adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to
the notes.
The discussions in the preceding
paragraphs, when read in combination with the section entitled
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” (and in particular
the subsection thereof entitled “— Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
— Notes with a Term of More than One Year — Notes Treated as
Contingent Payment Debt Instruments”) in the accompanying product
supplement, to the extent they reflect statements of law,
constitute the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP
regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of
owning and disposing of the notes.
Comparable Yield and Projected Payment Schedule
We will determine the
comparable yield for the notes and will provide that comparable
yield and the related projected payment schedule (or information
about how to obtain them) in the pricing supplement for the notes,
which we will file with the SEC. The comparable yield for the notes
will be determined based upon a variety of factors, including
actual market conditions and our borrowing costs for debt
instruments of comparable maturities at the time of issuance.
The comparable yield and projected payment schedule are
determined solely to calculate the amount on which you will be
taxed with respect to the notes in each year and are neither a
prediction nor a guarantee of what the actual yield will
be.
The Estimated Value of the Notes
The estimated value of the notes set forth on the cover of this
pricing supplement is equal to the sum of the values of the
following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt
component with the same maturity as the notes, valued using the
internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or
derivatives underlying the economic terms of the notes. The
estimated value of the notes does not represent a minimum price at
which JPMS would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary
market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used
in the determination of the estimated value of the notes may differ
from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income
instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan
Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be
based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the
funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in
comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income
instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal
funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions,
which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the
prevailing market replacement funding rate for the notes. The use
of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate
may have an adverse effect on the terms of the notes and any
secondary market prices of the notes. For additional information,
see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated
Value and

 |
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the
Notes Is Derived by Reference to an Internal Funding Rate” in this
pricing supplement.
The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic
terms of the notes is derived from internal pricing models of our
affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded
market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various
other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can
include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other
factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or
environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the notes is
determined when the terms of the notes are set based on market
conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at
that time.
The estimated value of the notes does not represent future values
of the notes and may differ from others’ estimates. Different
pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the
notes that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the
notes. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in
the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be
incorrect. On future dates, the value of the notes could change
significantly based on, among other things, changes in market
conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s
creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant
factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be
willing to buy notes from you in secondary market transactions.
The estimated value of the notes will be lower than the original
issue price of the notes because costs associated with selling,
structuring and hedging the notes are included in the original
issue price of the notes. These costs include the selling
commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated
dealers, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect
to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations
under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations
under the notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and
may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging
may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it
may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in
hedging our obligations under the notes may be allowed to other
affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our
affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Estimated Value of the
Notes Will Be Lower Than the Original Issue Price (Price to Public)
of the Notes” in this pricing supplement.
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes
For information about factors that will impact any secondary market
prices of the notes, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the
Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Notes —
Secondary market prices of the notes will be impacted by many
economic and market factors” in the accompanying product
supplement. In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs
included in the original issue price of the notes will be partially
paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your notes
by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial
predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions,
projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances,
estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding
rates for structured debt issuances. This initial predetermined
time period is intended to be the shorter of six months and
one-half of the stated term of the notes. The length of any such
initial period reflects the structure of the notes, whether our
affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging
activities, the estimated costs of hedging the notes and when these
costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates. See “Selected
Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and
Secondary Market Prices of the Notes — The Value of the Notes as
Published by JPMS (and Which May Be Reflected on Customer Account
Statements) May Be Higher Than the Then-Current Estimated Value of
the Notes for a Limited Time Period” in this pricing
supplement.
Supplemental Use of Proceeds
The notes are offered to meet investor demand for products that
reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the
notes. See “Hypothetical Payout Profile” and “How the Notes Work”
in this pricing supplement for an illustration of the risk-return
profile of the notes and “The J.P. Morgan Large-Cap Dynamic
BlendSM 5 Index” in this pricing supplement for a
description of the market exposure provided by the notes.
The original issue price of the notes is equal to the estimated
value of the notes plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and
other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, plus (minus) the
projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize
for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the
notes, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the
notes.
Additional Terms Specific to the Notes
You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior
to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the
applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or
reject any offer to purchase, the notes prior to their issuance. In
the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify
you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with
your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which
case we may reject your offer to purchase.
