• 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 3.0% 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 3.0% 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 3.0%, 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 3.0%. 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
0.95% per annum, even when the Index is not fully invested.
• 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, and because the
Target Volatility is only 3.0% 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 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 Dynamic BlendSM 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 has been relatively more variable and has
tended to be significantly higher than the Bond Constituent’s realized volatility. Under these circumstances and because the
Target Volatility is only 3.0%, 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, even if 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 “— The Returns of the Portfolio Constituents May Offset Each Other or May
Become Correlated in Decline” below.
• 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
