Differences in the supervision and regulation of financial services firms could require JPMorganChase to modify its operations and incur higher operational and compliance costs.

rewrittenRegulatoryRewritten to focus on operational and compliance cost impacts from supervisory differences; sharpened language on less-regulated competitors and specific regulatory requirements like product separation.

Various factors could influence the scope of applicable law and supervision for a firm that provides financial services, such as the size of the firm, the businesses in which it engages and its jurisdiction of organization. For example:

•larger firms such as JPMorganChase often face more stringent supervision and regulation •certain competitors, such as financial technology companies, may not be subject to banking regulation, or may be subject to less stringent oversight, or •the regulatory and supervisory framework in a particular jurisdiction may favor locally-based firms.

A highly-regulated financial services firm such as JPMorganChase can be vulnerable to competition from firms that are less regulated or unregulated. In addition, differences in regulatory implementation between the U.S. and other countries could adversely affect JPMorganChase’s businesses. For example, a national financial services regulator may impose requirements that are stricter than a global standard, which could create competitive disadvantages for those firms, such as JPMorganChase, that are subject to the enhanced regulations. Furthermore, certain authorities outside the U.S. have adopted applicable law that could conflict with or prohibit JPMorganChase from complying with applicable law in other jurisdictions, which could create conflict of law issues and could increase risks associated with non-compliance.

Regulatory initiatives outside the U.S. have required and could in the future require JPMorganChase to significantly modify its operations or legal entity structure in the places in which those initiatives are implemented, such as requirements for:

•establishing locally-based intermediate holding companies or operating subsidiaries •maintaining minimum amounts of capital or liquidity in locally-based subsidiaries •implementing processes within locally-based subsidiaries for complying with applicable law •separating (or “ring fencing”) core banking products and services from markets activities •the orderly resolution of financial institutions •executing or settling transactions on exchanges or through central counterparties (“CCPs”), or depositing funds with other financial institutions or clearing and settlement systems, and •governance, control, conduct of business and compensation standards.

•divest assets or restructure its operations •maintain higher levels of capital and liquidity •incur higher operational, compliance, capital and liquidity costs •become subject to penalties •limit the products and services that it offers, or change the prices that it charges for those products and services, or •forgo business opportunities, including acquisitions or principal investments, that it otherwise would have pursued.

Prior heading: JPMorganChase faces significant legal risks from litigation and formal and informal regulatory and government investigations.

JPMorganChase is named as a defendant or is otherwise involved in many civil and governmental legal proceedings, including class actions, derivative actions and other litigation or disputes with third parties, as well as investigations and enforcement actions by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental authorities, including criminal proceedings.

Regulators and other government agencies conduct examinations of JPMorganChase and its subsidiaries both on a routine basis and in targeted exams, and JPMorganChase’s businesses and operations are subject to heightened regulatory oversight. This heightened regulatory scrutiny, or the results of such an investigation or examination, may lead to additional regulatory investigations or enforcement actions. There is no assurance that those actions will not result in resolutions or other enforcement actions against JPMorganChase. Furthermore, a single event involving a potential violation of law or regulation may give rise to numerous and overlapping investigations and proceedings, either by multiple federal, state or local agencies and officials in the U.S. or, in some instances, regulators and other governmental officials in non-U.S. jurisdictions. In addition, if another financial institution violates a law or regulation relating to a particular business activity or practice, this will often give rise to an investigation by regulators and other governmental agencies of the same or similar activity or practice by JPMorganChase. JPMorganChase could become subject to a significant regulatory investigation and be unable to disclose specific information concerning that investigation to the public if such a disclosure would violate JPMorganChase’s obligations under applicable rules and regulations to maintain the confidentiality of confidential supervisory information, even if the resolution of that investigation could have a material adverse effect on JPMorganChase’s business, operations, results or financial condition. Regulatory investigations, examinations or other initiatives by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental authorities may subject JPMorganChase to judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other sanctions, and may require JPMorganChase to restructure its operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services. All of these potential outcomes could harm JPMorganChase’s reputation or lead to higher operational costs, thereby reducing JPMorganChase’s profitability, or result in collateral consequences.

T2Resolving an investigation by a governmental authority could subject JPMorganChase to significant penalties and other repercussions.

rewrittenRegulatoryRewritten to broaden from "regulatory investigations" to "investigation by a governmental authority"; adds detail on overlapping proceedings, multiple jurisdictions, and trend toward formal enforcement over informal resolution.

Governmental authorities conduct both routine and targeted examinations of JPMorganChase and its subsidiaries, and JPMorganChase’s businesses and operations are subject to heightened regulatory oversight. This scrutiny, or the results of such an examination, could lead to legal proceedings, including investigations or enforcement actions by governmental authorities. Furthermore, a single event involving a potential violation of applicable law could give rise to numerous and overlapping proceedings, including by multiple governmental authorities in the U.S. as well as non-U.S. authorities. In addition, if another financial institution violates applicable law relating to a particular business activity or practice, this will often give rise to legal proceedings related to the same or similar activity or practice by JPMorganChase.

JPMorganChase has in the past incurred significant penalties and experienced collateral consequences and other repercussions in connection with resolving investigations and enforcement actions by governmental authorities, and it could face similar investigations, actions and resolutions in the future. JPMorganChase typically incurs higher operational and compliance costs when addressing the requirements of such resolutions, including devoting substantial resources to remediation.

In connection with resolving specific investigations or enforcement actions, certain governmental authorities have required JPMorganChase and other financial institutions to admit wrongdoing with respect to the activities that gave rise to the resolution. These types of admissions could lead to negative consequences such as:

•disqualification from doing business with certain clients or customers, or in specific jurisdictions •greater exposure in litigation, and Furthermore, government officials globally have increasingly brought criminal actions against financial institutions and required those institutions to plead guilty to criminal offenses in connection with resolving investigations or enforcement actions by governmental authorities.

When resolving an investigation or enforcement action by a governmental authority, the subject financial institution typically must satisfy new or enhanced regulatory requirements or restrictions. If JPMorganChase fails to meet the requirements of any such resolution, or to maintain risk and control processes that meet the heightened expectations of its regulators, it could be required to, among other things:

•enter into further resolutions •incur additional penalties or judgments, or •accept material restrictions on, or changes in the management of, its businesses.

In these circumstances, JPMorganChase could also become subject to prosecution or civil litigation with respect to the matters that gave rise to an investigation or enforcement action. In addition, JPMorganChase could incur higher costs when resolving investigations and enforcement actions involving newly-acquired businesses, companies in which JPMorganChase has made principal investments, parties to joint ventures with JPMorganChase, and vendors with which JPMorganChase does business.

(the “Parent Company”) to maintain minimum levels of unsecured external long-term debt and other loss-absorbing capacity with specific terms (“eligible LTD”) to recapitalize JPMorganChase’s operating subsidiaries if the Parent Company were to enter into a resolution either in a bankruptcy proceeding under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or in a receivership administered by the FDIC under Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act (“Title II”). If the Parent Company were to enter into a resolution, holders of eligible LTD, other unsecured creditors and holders of equity securities of the Parent Company will absorb the losses of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries.

The preferred “single point of entry” strategy under JPMorganChase’s resolution plan contemplates that the Parent Company would enter bankruptcy proceedings and JPMorganChase’s material subsidiaries would be recapitalized, as needed, so that they could continue normal operations or subsequently be divested or wound down in an orderly manner. As a result, the Parent Company’s losses and any losses incurred by its subsidiaries would be imposed first on holders of the Parent Company’s equity securities and thereafter on its unsecured creditors, including holders of eligible LTD. Claims of the Parent Company’s shareholders and unsecured creditors would have a junior position to the claims of creditors of JPMorganChase’s subsidiaries and to the claims of priority (as determined by statute) and secured creditors of the Parent Company.

Accordingly, in a resolution of the Parent Company in bankruptcy, unsecured creditors of the Parent Company, including holders of eligible LTD of the Parent Company, would realize value only to the extent available to the Parent Company as a shareholder of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its other subsidiaries, and only after any claims of priority and secured creditors of the Parent Company have been fully repaid.

The FDIC has similarly indicated that a single point of entry recapitalization model would be its expected strategy to resolve a systemically important financial institution, such as the Parent Company, under Title II. However, the FDIC has not formally adopted or committed to any specific resolution strategy.

If the Parent Company were to approach, or enter into, a resolution, none of the Parent Company, the Federal Reserve or the FDIC is obligated to follow JPMorganChase’s preferred resolution strategy, and losses to unsecured creditors of the Parent Company, including holders of eligible LTD, and to holders of equity securities of the Parent Company, under whatever strategy is ultimately followed, could be greater than they might have been under JPMorganChase’s preferred strategy.

High unemployment levels could reduce personal and household income, which could degrade consumer credit performance if consumers struggle to service their debts. Adverse economic conditions could also lead to an increase in delinquencies, an increase in the allowance for credit losses or higher net charge-offs, which could reduce JPMorganChase’s earnings. These consequences could be significantly worse if high levels of consumer debt, such as outstanding student loans, impair the ability of customers to pay their other consumer loan obligations, or in certain geographies where declining industrial or manufacturing activity has resulted in or could result in higher levels of unemployment. In addition, JPMorganChase’s earnings from its consumer businesses could be adversely affected if customer demand for the products and services offered by its consumer businesses is diminished by sustained low growth, low or negative interest rates, inflationary pressures, or recessionary conditions.

Furthermore, governmental policies and actions, including those relating to pricing of products, taxation, medical insurance, education, immigration, and housing, or those that impact employment status, could reduce consumer disposable income and decrease JPMorganChase's earnings from its consumer businesses.

Unfavorable market and economic conditions could adversely affect JPMorganChase’s wholesale businesses.

rewrittenMacro & demandReframed wholesale business risks; added advisory engagement impacts and capital markets profitability concerns; removed specific commodity price and commercial real estate examples.

Market and economic factors can affect the volume of transactions and advisory engagements for which JPMorganChase is engaged and the related revenue from those activities. These factors could also influence the willingness of other financial institutions and investors to participate in capital markets transactions that JPMorganChase manages.

Furthermore, any significant and sustained deterioration in market conditions could reduce fee revenue due to lower transaction volumes, including when clients are unwilling or unable to refinance their outstanding debt obligations. Additionally, the profitability of JPMorganChase’s capital markets activities could be impacted if it needs to dispose of portions of credit commitments at a loss or hold larger residual positions in credit commitments that cannot be sold at favorable prices.

The fees that JPMorganChase earns from managing client assets or holding assets under custody for clients could be diminished by declining asset values or other adverse macroeconomic conditions. For example, higher interest rates or a market downturn could affect the valuation of client assets that JPMorganChase manages or holds under custody, resulting in lower revenue from fees that are based on the amount of assets under management or custody. Similarly, adverse macroeconomic or market conditions could prompt outflows from JPMorganChase funds or accounts, or cause clients to invest in products that generate lower revenue. Substantial and unexpected withdrawals from a JPMorganChase fund could also hamper the investment performance of the fund, particularly if the outflows create the need for the fund to dispose of fund assets at disadvantageous times or prices, and could lead to further withdrawals based on the weaker investment performance.

An adverse change in market conditions in particular segments of the economy, or sustained changes in consumer behavior that affect specific economic sectors, could have a material adverse effect on clients of JPMorganChase whose operations or financial condition are significantly impacted by the health or stability of those segments or economic sectors, as well as clients that are engaged in related businesses. JPMorganChase could incur credit losses on its loans and other commitments to clients that operate in, or are significantly impacted by, any sector of the economy under stress.

An economic downturn or sustained changes in consumer behavior that result in shifts in consumer and business spending could also have a negative impact on certain of JPMorganChase’s wholesale clients, and thereby diminish JPMorganChase’s earnings from its wholesale operations. For example, clients that rely on rental income from commercial real estate properties could be negatively affected by sustained adverse economic conditions or circumstances (such as hybrid work models) that reduce tenancies. These types of developments could depress property values, impair the ability of clients to service or refinance their loans and lead to an increase in foreclosures. These consequences could result in JPMorganChase experiencing an increase in the allowance for credit losses, higher delinquencies, defaults and charge-offs within its commercial real estate loan portfolio and incurring higher costs for servicing a larger volume of delinquent loans in that portfolio.

An increase in foreclosures could also result in higher operational risk associated with JPMorganChase owning and managing real property, and any inadequacy in governance or control over the foreclosed properties could result in regulatory scrutiny and reputational harm.

T5Changes in interest rates and credit spreads could adversely affect JPMorganChase’s earnings or its liquidity and capital levels.

rewrittenMacro & demandRewritten to add specific scenarios: high/increasing rates causing deposit withdrawals, client financing cost increases, and transition to higher-yielding products affecting earnings.

JPMorganChase may generally be expected to earn higher net interest income when interest rates are high or increasing. However, higher interest rates could also result in:

•fewer originations of commercial and residential real estate loans •losses on underwriting exposures or increases in client-specific downgrades •increased financing costs for clients, which could lead to an increase in the allowance for credit losses and higher net charge-offs •the loss of deposits, including where customers transition to higher-yielding products •losses on available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities held in the investment securities portfolio •less liquidity in the financial markets, and •higher funding costs.

All of these outcomes could adversely affect JPMorganChase’s earnings or its liquidity and capital levels, with more severe impacts in a prolonged period of high interest rates.

Higher interest rates could also negatively affect the payment performance on loans within JPMorganChase’s consumer and wholesale loan portfolios that are linked to variable interest rates. If borrowers of variable rate loans reduce or stop making payments at higher interest rates, JPMorganChase could incur losses as well as increased operational costs related to servicing a higher volume of delinquent loans. On the other hand, a low or negative interest rate environment could cause:

•compressed net interest margins, which could result in lower earnings on JPMorganChase’s investment securities portfolio •adverse or unanticipated changes in depositor behavior, which could negatively affect JPMorganChase’s broader asset and liability management strategies, and •a reduction in the value of JPMorganChase’s mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) asset, resulting in decreased revenues.

JPMorganChase’s credit spreads could widen or narrow not only due to events and circumstances that are specific to JPMorganChase but also as a result of general economic and geopolitical events and conditions.

T6JPMorganChase could be negatively affected by adverse changes in the financial condition of clients, counterparties, CCPs and other market participants.

rewrittenConcentrationRewritten to expand counterparty risk beyond custodians to 'other market participants,' add CCP default scenarios, and detail borrower collateral fraud and systemic contagion risks.

JPMorganChase routinely executes transactions with clients and counterparties such as corporations, financial institutions, asset managers, hedge funds, securities exchanges and government entities globally. Many of these transactions expose JPMorganChase to the credit risk of its clients and counterparties, and JPMorganChase could incur losses and become involved in disputes and litigation in connection with a default by a client or counterparty. JPMorganChase could also face losses or liability if a financial institution providing custodial services for client assets becomes insolvent.

If a CCP through which JPMorganChase executes contracts suffers a financial or operational failure or otherwise defaults, JPMorganChase would be required to replace the relevant contracts, which would increase its operational costs and potentially result in losses. In addition, if a member of a CCP in which JPMorganChase is also a member defaults on its obligations to the CCP, JPMorganChase could incur losses due to requirements that each member of the CCP absorb a portion of those losses. Furthermore, JPMorganChase could be subject to bearing its share of non-default losses incurred by a CCP, including losses from custodial, settlement or investment activities or due to cyber or other security breaches.

As part of its clearing services activities, JPMorganChase is exposed to the risk of nonperformance by its clients, which it seeks to mitigate by requiring clients to provide adequate collateral. JPMorganChase is also exposed to intra-day credit risk of its clients in connection with providing cash management, clearing, custodial and other transaction services. If such a client becomes bankrupt or insolvent, JPMorganChase could:

•incur losses •become involved in disputes and litigation with CCPs, the client’s bankruptcy estate and other creditors, or •be subject to investigations by governmental authorities.

In addition, JPMorganChase has in the past, and could in the future, experience instances in which borrowers or other counterparties engage in fraudulent activity related to the accounting, reporting or representation of collateral. Such practices have resulted and could in the future result in losses for JPMorganChase potentially undermining the effectiveness of collateral requirements and negatively affecting JPMorganChase's financial condition and results of operations.

All of the foregoing events could increase JPMorganChase’s operational and litigation costs, and JPMorganChase could suffer losses to the extent that the realized value of any collateral that it has received is insufficient to cover those losses.

Transactions with governmental entities can expose JPMorganChase to enhanced sovereign, credit, operational, legal and reputation risks. Governmental entities may claim that actions taken by government officials were beyond the legal authority of those officials or repudiate transactions authorized by a previous incumbent government. These types of actions have in the past caused, and could in the future cause, JPMorganChase to suffer losses or hamper its ability to conduct business in the relevant jurisdiction. In addition, JPMorganChase could incur losses if applicable law limits its ability to resolve disputes and litigation when a client in that jurisdiction defaults or otherwise fails to make agreed-upon payments.

Disputes could arise with counterparties to derivatives contracts concerning the terms, the settlement procedures or the value of underlying collateral. The resolution of those disputes could cause JPMorganChase to incur losses, including unexpected transaction, operational and legal costs. These consequences could also impair JPMorganChase’s ability to effectively manage its credit risk exposure from its market activities, or cause reputational harm.

The financial or operational failure of a significant market participant, such as a major financial institution or a CCP, or concerns about the creditworthiness or operational sustainability of one or more market participants, could cause substantial and cascading disruption within the financial markets, including in circumstances where coordinated action by multiple other market participants is required to address the problem. JPMorganChase’s businesses could be significantly disrupted by such an event, especially if it has significant interrelationships with, and credit exposure to, the faltering market participant, or if the event causes other market participants to default, incur significant losses or experience liquidity issues.

JPMorganChase could incur significant losses arising from concentrations of credit and market risk.

rewrittenConcentrationAdded new risk that private credit expansion and interconnectivity across credit markets could worsen losses among non-bank lenders and spread stress to broader markets.

JPMorganChase could be exposed to greater credit and market risk if groupings of its clients or counterparties, or obligors on securities and other financial instruments:

•engage in similar or related businesses or in related industries •operate in the same geographic region, or •have business profiles that could cause their ability to meet their obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions.

For example, a significant deterioration in the credit quality of a counterparty, borrower or other obligor could lead to concerns about the creditworthiness of other parties in similar, related or dependent industries. This type of interrelationship could exacerbate JPMorganChase’s credit, liquidity and market risk exposure, potentially causing losses. In addition, JPMorganChase could be required to increase the allowance for credit losses or establish other reserves with respect to certain clients, industries or country exposures in order to align with regulatory directives or expectations.

Similarly, challenging economic conditions that affect a particular industry or geographic area could lead to concerns about the credit quality of counterparties, borrowers or other obligors not only in that industry or geography but also in related or dependent industries, wherever located. These conditions could also heighten concerns about the ability of customers of JPMorganChase’s consumer businesses who live in those areas or work in those industries to meet their obligations.

JPMorganChase’s consumer businesses could also be harmed by an excessive expansion of consumer credit by competitors. Heightened competition for certain types of consumer loans could lead to significant price reductions for those loans or providing loans to less-creditworthy borrowers. If large numbers of consumers subsequently default on their loans, this could impair their ability to repay obligations owed to JPMorganChase and result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses and higher charge-offs.

More broadly, widespread defaults on consumer debt could lead to recessionary conditions in the U.S. economy, and JPMorganChase’s consumer businesses could earn lower revenues in such an environment.

Furthermore, the interconnectivity across credit markets increases the risk that the significant expansion of private credit could worsen losses among non-bank lenders and their borrowers, particularly if stress or defaults spread to broader funding and credit markets. Such developments could impair asset valuations, reduce market-wide liquidity, disrupt borrowers’ ability to refinance, and increase default rates, especially if non-bank lenders have weaker underwriting standards, loans are less liquid, or transparency is limited. These outcomes could adversely affect JPMorganChase’s results of operations and lead to losses on market-making positions in its wholesale businesses.

If JPMorganChase is unable to reduce positions effectively during a market dislocation, this could increase both the market and credit risks associated with those positions and the level of risk-weighted-assets (“RWA”) that JPMorganChase holds on its balance sheet. These factors could adversely affect JPMorganChase’s capital position, funding costs and the profitability of its businesses.

JPMorganChase’s ability to effectively manage the stability of its operational systems and infrastructure could be hindered by many factors, any of which could have a negative impact on JPMorganChase and its clients, customers and counterparties, including: •JPMorganChase’s ability to effectively maintain •challenges in maintaining and upgrade upgrading systems and infrastructure can become more challenging as the speed, frequency, volume, interconnectivity and complexity of transactions and other information flows continue to increase •attempts by third parties to defraud JPMorganChase or and its clients and customers customers, which continue to increase, evolve and become more complex, and as well as increased volumes of these attempts during periods of market disruption or economic uncertainty, these attempts can be expected to further increase in volume uncertainty •errors made by JPMorganChase or another market participant, whether inadvertent or malicious, which could cause widespread system disruption •failure to detect weaknesses •weaknesses or shortcomings in operational systems that may not be detected in a timely manner •isolated or seemingly insignificant errors in operational systems that could compound, or migrate to other systems over time, to become systems, becoming larger issues •disruptions •failures in synchronization or encryption software, or degraded performance of microprocessors, which could cause disruptions in operational systems or in the ability of systems to communicate with each other could be caused by failures in synchronization or encryption software, or degraded performance of microprocessors, other, and •attempts by third •third parties that may try to block the use of key technology solutions by claiming that the use infringes on their intellectual property rights. JPMorganChase also depends on its ability to access and use the operational systems of third parties, including: •custodians •vendors, including its custodians, vendors (such as those that provide providers of security, technology and data and cloud computing services, and security and technology services) and other •other market participants (such participants, such as clearing and payment systems, CCPs and securities exchanges). These external operational systems with which JPMorgan is connected, whether directly or indirectly, can be sources of operational risk to JPMorganChase. JPMorganChase may be exposed not only to a systems exchanges. The inaccessibility, failure or cyber attack that may be experienced by a vendor or market infrastructure with which JPMorganChase is directly connected, but also to a systems breakdown or cyber attack involving another party to which such a vendor or infrastructure is connected. Similarly, retailers, payment systems and processors, data aggregators and other external parties with which JPMorganChase’s customers do business can increase JPMorganChase’s operational risk. This is particularly the case where activities of customers or other parties are beyond JPMorganChase’s security and control systems, including through the use disruption of the internet, cloud computing services, and personal smart phones and other mobile devices or services. If an internal or external party obtains access to customer account data on operational system upon which JPMorganChase’s systems, whether authorized or unauthorized, and that party misappropriates that data, this businesses depend could result in negative outcomes for adversely affect JPMorganChase and its clients and customers, including a heightened risk of fraudulent transactions using JPMorganChase’s systems, losses from fraudulent transactions and reputational harm arising from the perception that JPMorganChase’s systems may not be secure. As JPMorganChase’s interconnectivity with clients, customers and other external parties continues to expand, JPMorganChase increasingly faces the risk of operational failure or cyber attacks with respect to the systems of those parties. Security breaches affecting JPMorganChase’s clients or customers, or systems breakdowns or failures, security breaches or human error or misconduct affecting other external parties, may require JPMorganChase to take steps to protect the integrity of its own operational systems or to safeguard confidential information, including restricting the access of customers to their accounts. These actions can increase JPMorganChase’s operational costs and potentially diminish customer satisfaction and confidence in JPMorganChase. Furthermore, the widespread and expanding interconnectivity among financial institutions, clearing banks, CCPs, payments processors, financial technology companies, securities exchanges, clearing houses and other financial market infrastructures increases the risk that the disruption of an operational system involving one institution or entity, including due to a cyber attack, may cause industry-wide operational disruptions that could materially affect JPMorganChase’s ability to conduct business. In addition, the risks associated with the disruption of an operational system of a third party could be exacerbated to the extent that the services provided by that system are used by a significant number or proportion of market participants. The ineffectiveness, failure or other disruption of operational systems upon which JPMorganChase depends, including due to a systems malfunction, cyber incident or other systems failure, could result in unfavorable ripple effects in the financial markets and for JPMorganChase and its clients and customers, markets, including: •delays or other disruptions in providing services, including the provision of liquidity or information to clients and customers •impairment of JPMorganChase’s ability to execute transactions, including delays or failures in the confirmation or settlement of transactions or in obtaining access to funds or other assets required for settlement •the possibility that erroneous execution of funds transfers, capital markets trades or other transactions are executed erroneously •financial losses, including due to loss-sharing requirements of CCPs, payment systems or other market infrastructures, or as possible restitution to clients and customers •higher operational costs associated with replacing services provided by a system that has experienced a failure or other disruption •limitations on JPMorganChase's JPMorganChase’s ability to collect data needed for its business and operations •loss of confidence in the ability of JPMorganChase, or financial institutions generally, to protect against and withstand operational disruptions •dissatisfaction among JPMorganChase’s clients or customers •significant exposure to litigation and regulatory fines, penalties or other sanctions, and If JPMorganChase’s operational systems, or those of acquired businesses or of external parties on which JPMorganChase’s businesses depend, are unable to meet the requirements of JPMorganChase’s businesses and operations or bank regulatory standards, or if they fail or have other significant shortcomings, JPMorganChase could be materially and adversely affected.penalties, and

JPMorganChase’s interconnectedness with clients, customers and other external parties could be a source of significant operational risk.

addedCyber & dataAdded risk that operational failures or cyber attacks on external systems JPMorgan interconnects with could disrupt operations and customer access.

JPMorganChase could be exposed to operational risk if it is unable to access and use external operational systems, including during failures or cyber attacks related to those systems or other third-party systems. Similarly, retailers, payment systems and processors, data aggregators, and other external parties with which JPMorganChase’s customers do business could increase JPMorganChase’s operational risk. This is particularly the case where activities of customers or other parties are beyond JPMorganChase’s security and control systems, including through the use of the internet, cloud computing services, and mobile devices or services.

JPMorganChase’s interconnectivity with clients, customers and other external parties continues to expand, which increases the risk of failure or cyber attacks with respect to the systems of those parties. Any systems failure, security breach, or human error or misconduct that affects clients, customers or external parties could require JPMorganChase to take steps to protect the integrity of its own operational systems or to safeguard confidential information, including restricting the access of its customers to their accounts. These actions could increase JPMorganChase’s operational costs and potentially diminish customer satisfaction and confidence in JPMorganChase.

Furthermore, the widespread interconnectivity among financial institutions, clearing banks, CCPs, payments processors, financial technology companies, securities exchanges, clearing houses, financial messaging networks and other financial market infrastructures increases the risk that the disruption of an operational system involving one entity could cause industry-wide operational disruptions that could materially affect JPMorganChase’s ability to conduct business. In addition, the risks associated with the disruption of an operational system of a third-party could be exacerbated if the services provided by that system are widely used by market participants.

T10A successful cyber attack could cause significant harm to JPMorganChase and its clients and customers.

rewrittenCyber & dataRewritten to detail threat actors (hostile countries, terrorists, hacktivists, cyber-criminals), add quantum-resistant encryption transition risks, and emphasize third-party interconnectedness vulnerabilities.

JPMorganChase experiences numerous cyber attacks on its computer systems, software, networks and other technology assets. Cyber attacks could take many forms, and may be designed to:

•introduce computer viruses or malicious code (i.e., “malware”) into JPMorganChase’s systems.

•obtain unauthorized access to JPMorganChase’s systems or to confidential information belonging to JPMorganChase or its clients, customers, counterparties or employees •manipulate or destroy data •disrupt, sabotage or degrade service on JPMorganChase’s systems and websites, including those that provide online banking and other services •steal money, or •extort money through the use of so-called “ransomware.”

Threat actors that perpetrate cyber attacks include individuals or groups that are:

•sponsored by, or acting on behalf of, hostile countries or terrorist organizations •cyber-criminals, or •engaged in using technology to promote a political or social agenda (i.e., “hacktivists”).

JPMorganChase has experienced security breaches due to cyber attacks in the past, and future breaches are inevitable. Any such breach could result in serious and harmful consequences for JPMorganChase or its clients and customers.

JPMorganChase cannot guarantee that it will always detect cybersecurity threats to its systems or implement effective preventive measures against those threats. The reasons for this include:

•the techniques used in cyber attacks evolve frequently and increase in sophistication, and therefore a cyber attack may not be recognized until launched or may go undetected for extended periods •it is possible that a third-party, after establishing a foothold on an internal network without being detected, may gain access to other networks and systems •cyber attacks can originate from a wide variety of sources, including certain threat actors that are well-resourced and can sustain malicious activities for extended periods, and •JPMorganChase does not have control over the cybersecurity of the systems of the numerous clients, customers, counterparties and third-party service providers with which it does business.

The cybersecurity risks that JPMorganChase faces could be intensified by factors such as:

•increased volume and complexity of cyber attacks during periods of heightened geopolitical tensions •technological advances such as artificial intelligence (“AI”) and quantum computing that may enable malicious actors to develop more advanced social engineering attacks, including targeted phishing attacks, and •technological advances which may counteract or nullify existing information security protections, including cryptographic protections, potentially exposing data.

In addition, JPMorganChase could be required to make significant investments in technology in order to transition effectively to more robust security protections, including quantum-resistant encryption. Any such transition may not be completed before relevant threats become operational, and JPMorganChase’s interconnectedness with third parties who may be slower to adopt such protections could further increase its vulnerability to data compromise.

Furthermore, a third-party could misappropriate confidential information obtained by intercepting signals or communications from mobile devices used by JPMorganChase’s employees.

JPMorganChase could become increasingly vulnerable to cyber attacks if it does not, in a timely manner, identify and address emerging threats, known vulnerabilities or shortcomings in its cybersecurity controls, or if it fails to prioritize or complete enhancements to address them particularly in jurisdictions that could pose a heightened risk to its operations, including enhancements relating to:

•preventing unauthorized access and protecting against the misuse of access, including the maintenance and enhancement of controls related to secure software development practices and identity and access management, including controls relating to the management of administrative access to systems •detecting, escalating and effectively addressing in a timely manner any vulnerabilities that may be present either in internally-developed software or externally-provided software or services, including vulnerabilities that could allow the attackers to exploit unknown security flaws in software and hardware (i.e., “zero-day vulnerabilities”) •appropriate oversight of third-party vendors in support of the secure development and maintenance of internal software and systems •controls related to technology asset management and inventory systems to prevent undetected vulnerabilities that could undermine JPMorganChase’s ability to operate an effective control process •upgrading systems and controls to protect JPMorganChase and its clients and customers from the impact of distributed denial-of-service attacks, or to recover from outages that could be caused by a malware or ransomware attack •the continuing migration of technology systems of customer and client-facing services, including digital banking and other internet-based products, to the cloud, and modernization of those services •strengthening network security and managing outbound connections to reduce the risk of data loss •identifying, assessing and mitigating insider threat activities that could lead to the misuse of JPMorganChase’s systems or client and customer information, and •integrating acquired businesses, including where system integration may be complex or may require extensive and lengthy remediation or enhancement of controls.

Any of the above cybersecurity risks to which JPMorganChase may be exposed could also affect JPMorganChase’s vendors or other third parties with which it does business or is interconnected, including governmental entities and other market participants. A successful circumvention of JPMorganChase’s systems of any of those third parties could cause serious negative consequences, including:

•significant disruption of or loss of access to JPMorganChase’s operational systems and those of its clients, customers and counterparties •misappropriation of confidential information of JPMorganChase or that of its clients, customers, counterparties, employees, regulators or other parties •disruption of or damage to JPMorganChase’s systems and those of its clients, customers and counterparties •the inability, or extended delays in the ability, to fully recover and restore affected data, or the inability to prevent systems from processing fraudulent transactions •demands that JPMorganChase pay a ransom to a malicious actor that has perpetrated a cybersecurity breach •unintended violations by JPMorganChase of applicable privacy and other laws •financial loss to JPMorganChase outside of cyber insurance policy coverage, or losses to its clients, customers, counterparties or employees •loss of confidence in JPMorganChase’s cybersecurity and business resiliency measures •significant exposure to litigation, investigations by governmental authorities and penalties, and The extent of a particular cyber attack, the methods used by threat actors, and the steps that JPMorganChase may need to take to investigate the attack may not be immediately clear, and it could take a significant amount of time before such an investigation can be completed.

While such an investigation is ongoing, JPMorganChase may not know the full extent of the harm caused by the cyber attack, and that damage could continue to spread. These factors could inhibit JPMorganChase’s ability to provide rapid, full and reliable information about the cyber attack to its clients, customers, counterparties and regulators, as well as the public. Furthermore, it may not be clear how best to contain and remediate the harm caused by the cyber attack, and certain errors or actions could be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remediated. Any or all of these factors could further increase the costs and consequences of a cyber attack.

In addition, the reliability of JPMorganChase’s models and estimations could become more uncertain if assets differ from those used to develop those models and estimations, which could also result in unexpected losses.

Similarly, JPMorganChase establishes an allowance for expected losses related to its credit exposures which requires significant judgments, including forecasts of how macroeconomic conditions might impair the ability of JPMorganChase’s clients and customers to repay their loans or other obligations.

Competition in the financial services industry could lead to negative effects on JPMorganChase’s results of operations.

rewrittenAI & technologyRewritten to add generative AI, cryptocurrency, stablecoins, tokenized securities, and distributed ledger technology as competitive threats; removes generic competitor categories and adds regulatory uncertainty language.

JPMorganChase operates in a highly competitive environment in which it must constantly adapt to changes in financial regulation, technological advances and economic conditions. JPMorganChase expects that competition in the financial services industry will remain intense, with new competitors in the financial services industry continuing to emerge. For example, technological advances and the growth of e-commerce have made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally were banking products. These advances have also allowed financial institutions and other companies to provide electronic and internet-based financial solutions, including:

•lending and other extensions of credit to consumers •payments processing •cryptocurrency, including stablecoins •tokenized securities, and •online automated algorithmic-based investment advice.

Furthermore, both financial institutions and their non-banking competitors face the risk of disruption to payments processing and other products and services from the use of new technologies that may not require intermediation, such as tokenized securities or other products that leverage distributed ledger technology. New technologies have required and could require JPMorganChase to increase expenditures to modify its products to attract and retain clients and customers or to match products and services offered by its competitors, including technology companies. If JPMorganChase does not keep pace with rapidly changing technological advances, including the adoption of generative AI, it risks losing clients and market share to competitors, which could negatively impact revenues, operating costs and its competitive position.

Competition could be intensified as the feasibility, capability and scalability of new technologies improves. In addition, new technologies (including generative AI) could be used by customers or bad actors in unexpected or disruptive ways, or could be breached or infiltrated by third parties, which could increase JPMorganChase’s compliance expenses and reduce its income related to the offering of products and services through those technologies.

Actions by competitors could put pressure on the pricing for JPMorganChase’s products and services or could cause it to lose market share, particularly with respect to investment products and traditional banking products. In addition, advocacy by non-banking competitors for exemptions from regulatory requirements could significantly disadvantage traditional financial institutions.

The failure of any of JPMorganChase’s businesses to meet the expectations of clients and customers, whether due to general market conditions, under-performance, a decision not to offer a particular product or service, changes in client and customer expectations or other factors, could affect JPMorganChase’s ability to attract or retain clients and customers. Any of these impacts could, in turn, reduce JPMorganChase’s revenues. Increased competition also could require JPMorganChase to make additional capital investments in its businesses, or to extend more of its capital on behalf of its clients to remain competitive. Furthermore, regulatory uncertainty regarding new technologies, including inconsistent regulatory approaches within and across jurisdictions, could require JPMorganChase to modify or restrict its product and service offerings, incur higher operational or compliance costs or forgo business opportunities.

On the other hand, any efficiencies or competitive advantages that AI may offer could be squandered if JPMorganChase fails to adopt AI in a timely and judicious manner and to make related adjustments to its workforce.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines. This view is built from the parsed risk factors, so it can differ slightly from the section text the counts were taken on.
