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 and product supplement and in Annex A to the accompanying prospectus addendum.
● YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS -
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. If the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than 20.00%, you will
lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Final Value is less than the Initial Value by more than 20.00%.
Accordingly, under these circumstances, you will lose up to 80.00% of your principal amount 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 and the collection of intercompany obligations. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co.,
substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co. to make payments under loans made by us to
JPMorgan Chase & Co. or under other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from JPMorgan
Chase & Co. to meet our obligations under the notes. We are not a key operating subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and in a
bankruptcy or resolution of JPMorgan Chase & Co. we are not expected to have sufficient resources to meet our obligations in
respect of the notes as they come due. If JPMorgan Chase & Co. does not make payments to us and we are unable 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. For more
information, see the accompanying prospectus addendum.
● POTENTIAL CONFLICTS -
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.
● THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST.
● YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE DIVIDENDS ON THE SECURITIES INCLUDED IN THE INDEX OR HAVE ANY RIGHTS WITH
RESPECT TO THOSE SECURITIES.
● NON-U.S. SECURITIES RISK -
The non-U.S. equity securities included in the Index have been issued by non-U.S. companies. Investments in securities linked to
the value of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the home countries and/or the securities markets in the
home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities. Also, with respect to equity securities that are not listed in the
U.S., there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than there is about U.S.
companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC.
● EMERGING MARKETS RISK -
The equity securities included in the Index have been issued by non-U.S. companies located in emerging markets countries.
Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of
businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of
property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few
industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt
burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond
effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.
● THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK -
Because the prices of the equity securities included in the Index are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the level
of the Index, holders of the notes will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the
equity securities included in the Index trade. Your net exposure will depend on the extent to which those currencies strengthen or
weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of equity securities included in the Index denominated in each of those
currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those currencies, the level of the Index
will be adversely affected and any payment on the notes may be reduced.
● RECENT EXECUTIVE ORDERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE INDEX -
Pursuant to recent executive orders, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions in, or possession of, publicly traded
securities of certain companies that are determined to be linked to the People's Republic of China military, intelligence and security
apparatus, or securities that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to, those securities. The sponsor of
the Index recently removed the equity securities of a small number of companies from the Index in response to these executive
orders. If the issuer of any of the equity securities included in the Index is in the future designated as such a prohibited company,
the value of that company may be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, which would adversely affect the performance of the
Index. In addition, under these circumstances, the sponsor of the Index is expected to remove the equity securities of that company
from the Index. Any changes to the composition of the Index in response to these executive orders could adversely affect the
performance of the Index.
