JPMorgan Chase Financial Co. LLC has filed a preliminary pricing supplement for its Auto Callable Contingent Interest Notes linked to the MerQube US Tech+ Vol Advantage Index. This offering, which is fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is significant as it showcases the firm’s efforts to enhance its structured investment products portfolio.

The notes are designed for investors looking for contingent interest payments based on the performance of the underlying index. However, they come with considerable risks, including the potential loss of principal. The notes are expected to price on or about November 5, 2026, and settle on or about November 10, 2026.
