Buffer Return Enhanced Note

 
Overview
 
Buffered Return Enhanced Notes or “BRENs” are Structured Investments that offer leveraged participation in diverse underlyings combined with a buffer against some risk to principal.  These buffers typically range from 10-20%.
 
·
Please visit www.jpmorgan.com/si for more information
 
Investment Details
 
·
Typical maturity dates of 13 months–3 years.  Maturity dates available of 1-5 years.
·
A buffer offers some protection from a decrease in value of the underlying asset, typically 10-20%.
Downside Protection:
·
If at maturity the underlying does not decline by more than the buffer amount, client will receive full principal back.
·
Amount of loss on investment begins below the buffer:
 
·
Example w/10% Buffer:  If at maturity the underlying is down 18%, the investor loses 8% of the initial investment.  (18%-10% =8%).
Upside Participation:
·
Investor will participate in upside potential as determined by the Participation Rate:
 
·
Example w/Participation Rate of 140%:  Investor receives the return of the index at the final valuation date multiplied by 1.4, plus 100% of principal.
 
·
Returns on BREN underlying appreciation can be either capped or uncapped.

Note:  ‘Participation Rate’ is at times expressed as the ‘Leverage Factor’ – A Participation Rate of 140% would denote 1.4 multiplied by the index or basket return.
·
Please see Payout Profile to the right as an example.
·
Specific Terms are created monthly and may be available at: www.jpmorgan.com/si
 
Tax Impacts
 
·
Long term capital gains tax treatment if held unhedged for more than one year.
