J.P. Morgan Efficiente Plus DS 5 Index (Net ER) Performance Update - September 2015 OVERVIEW The J.P.Morgan Efficiente Plus DS 5 Index (Net ER) (the "Index") is a J.P. Morgan strategy that seeks to provide exposure to a range of asset classes and geographic regions based on the modern portfolio theory approach to asset allocation. The index utilizes the rapidly growing investment options available with ETFs . The Index selects from a basket of 19 ETFs, 1 exchange-traded note and a cash index ("the Basket Constituents"). The index targets an annualized realized volatility of 5% on a daily basis by varying the exposure it takes to a basket whose weights are allocated monthly in accordance with a rules-based methodology (the "Monthly Reference Portfolio"). The Index increases its exposure to the Monthly Reference Portfolio when the volatility of the portfolio decreases and decreases the exposure when the volatility of the Monthly Reference Portfolio increases. The Index levels incorporate the daily deduction of a fee of 0.85% per annum.

The Index targets an annualized realized volatility of 5% on a daily basis using a mechanism that varies the exposure of the Index to the Monthly Reference Portfolio, based on the one month historical volatility of the portfolio, and reflects the weighted performance of its underlying assets in excess of a cash index.

As well as the actual performance of the SandP 500 (Excess Return) and the Barclays Aggregate 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). The "SandP 500 Index (Excess Return)" and "Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return)" refer to hypothetical indices constructed from the total returns of the relevant index with the returns of the Cash Index deducted. There is no guarantee the Efficiente Plus DS 5 Index will outperform the SandP 500 Index (Excess Return), the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return) or any alternative investment strategy. Sources: Bloomberg and JPMorgan. Average Allocations: the sum of the weights of the Exchange-Trade Constituents within the monthly portfolio (or, in the event the Index is in the process of rebalancing, the weighted average of each weight within the respective monthly portfolios), multiplied by the exposure of the Index to the relevant portfolio or portfolios. Correlation: the performance of the relevant index to the Efficiente Plus DS 5 Index, calculated based on the ten year annualized return. Volatility: the annualized standard deviation of the relevant index's arithmetic daily returns since May 2, 2008. Volatility levels are calculated from the hypothetical and historical returns, as applicable to the relevant measurement period, of the Efficiente Plus DS 5 Index, SandP 500 Index (Excess Return), and the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (Excess Return)." Sharpe Ratio: a measure of risk-adjusted performance, and is computed as the annualized hypothetical and historical return since November 1, 2007 divided by the annualized volatility since November 1, 2007. For time periods prior to the launch of any Exchange-Traded Constituent and such Exchange-Trade Constituents' initial satisfaction of a minimum size and liquidity standard, the hypothetical back-testing uses alternative performance information derived from a related index, after deducting hypothetical expenses and fees, rather than performance information for such ETF. 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. Source: Bloomberg and JPMorgan. Key Risks Our affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities PLC, or JPMS PLC, is the index 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 is under no obligation to consider your interest as an investor with returns linked to the Index. The level of the Index will include the deduction of a fee of 0.85% per annum. The Index was established on December 31, 2014 and therefore has a limited operating history. There are risks associated with a momentum -based investment strategy. The Index comprises notional assets and liabilities. There is no actual portfolio of assets in which any person is entitled or in which any person has any ownership interest. The Index may not be successful, may not outperform any alternative strategy and may not achieve its target volatility of 5%. The Index may be partially uninvested if the cash index is included in the Monthly Reference Portfolio or if the exposure of the Index to the monthly reference portfolio is less than 100% on any day. The Index may provide exposure to any Basket Constituent in excess of the weighting constraint specified for that Basket Constituent. The investment strategy used to construct the index involves monthly rebalancing and weighting constraints that are applied to the Basket Constituents and daily adjustments to the exposure to the Monthly Reference Portfolio. Changes in the values of the Basket Constituents may offset each other. Each Basket Constituent composing the Index may be replaced by a substitute constituent.
