Notes
Hypothetical, historical performance measures: Represent the performance of the
U.S. Sector Rotator 5 Index based on, as applicable to the relevant measurement
period, the hypothetical backtested daily closing levels through June 20, 2013,
and the actual historical performance of the Index based on the daily closing
levels from June 21, 2013 through April 30, 2015, as well as the performance of
the SandP 500 Index (Excess Return), and the JPMorgan US Government Bond Index
(Excess Return) over the same periods. For purposes of these examples, each
index was set equal to 100 at the beginning of the relevant measurement period
and returns are calculated arithmetically (not compounded). There is no
guarantee the U.S. Sector Rotator 5 Index will outperform the SandP 500 Index
(Excess Return), the JPMorgan US Government Bond Index (Excess Return) or any
alternative investment strategy. Sources: Bloomberg and JPMorgan.

SandP 500 Index (Excess Return) represents a hypothetical index constructed
from the total returns of the SandP 500 Index with the returns of the JP Morgan
Cash Index USD 3 Month (the "Cash Index") deducted. JPMorgan US Government Bond
Index (Excess Return) represents a hypothetical index constructed from the
returns of the JPMorgan US Government Bond Index with the returns of the Cash
Index deducted.

Volatility: hypothetical, historical six-month annualized volatility levels are
presented for informational purposes only. Volatility levels are calculated
from the historical returns, as applicable to the relevant measurement period,
of the U.S. Sector Rotator 5 Index, SandP 500 Index (Excess Return), and the
JPMorgan US Government Bond Index (Excess Return). Volatility represents the
annualized standard deviation of the relevant index's arithmetic daily returns
since April 30, 2015. The Sharpe Ratio, which is a measure of risk-adjusted
performance, is computed as the ten year annualized historical return divided
by the ten year annualized volatility.

The back-tested, hypothetical, historical annualized volatility and index
returns may use substitutes for any ETF that was not in existence or did not
meet the liquidity standards at that particular time.

The back-tested, hypothetical, historical annualized volatility and index
returns have inherent limitations. These volatility and return results were
achieved by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested volatility
model designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is made that in
the future the relevant indices will have the volatility shown. Alternative
modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different
results and may prove to be more appropriate. Actual annualized volatilities
and returns may vary materially from this analysis.

Key Risks
 The payment on any investments linked to the Index that we may issue is
exposed to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase and Co.
 The levels of the Index will include the deduction of a fee of 0.50% per
annum.
  There are risks associated with a momentum-based investment strategy--The
Strategy seeks to capitalize on positive market price trends based on the
supposition that positive market price trends may continue. This Strategy is
different from a strategy that seeks long-term exposure to a portfolio
consisting of constant components with fixed weights. The Strategy may fail to
realize gains that could occur from holding assets that have experienced price
declines, but experience a sudden price spike thereafter.
  Correlation of performances among the basket constituents may reduce the
performance of strategy--Performances among the Basket Constituents may become
highly correlated from time to time during the term of your investment. High
correlation during periods of negative returns among Basket Constituents
representing any one sector or asset type that have a substantial weighting in
the Strategy could have a material adverse effect on the performance of the
Strategy.

  Our affiliate, JPMS plc, is the Index Sponsor and Calculation Agent and may
adjust the Index in a way that affects its level--The policies and judgments
for which JPMS plc is responsible could have an impact, positive or negative,
on the level of the Index and the value of your investment. JPMS plc is under
no obligation to consider your interest as an investor with returns linked to
the Index.
 The Index may not be successful, may not outperform any alternative strategy
related to the Basket Constituents, or may not achieve its target volatility of
5%.
 The investment strategy involves monthly rebalancing and maximum weighting
caps applied to the Basket Constituents.
 Changes in the value of the Basket Constituents may offset each other.
 The Index was established on June 21, 2013 and has a limited operating
history

underlying supplement and the "Selected Risk Considerations" in the relevant
term sheet or pricing supplement.
