Fees vary by the type of account. You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.

Account fees may include service and maintenance fees and be charged at different times. For example, we charge brokerage transaction fees when you buy or sell a security. Maintenance fees are generally charged once each year. Fees are disclosed in several places, including statements, billing notices and transaction confirmations.

Full-service brokerage accounts:

• You’ll pay a transaction fee on every purchase or sale of a security unless we tell you otherwise. This fee may be in addition to (a “commission”) or included in (a “mark-up/mark-down”) the price you pay for the investment itself.

• You’ll pay a transaction fee when a trade is executed. For some products, such as mutual funds, you may pay a fee when you sell the fund before you’ve held it for a minimum amount of time.

• Some investment products, such as mutual funds, insurance, and alternative investments, charge ongoing fees for as long as you hold them.

Self-directed brokerage accounts:

• You’ll pay a commission based on the security type and how you place the trade—on your own or with the help of a Service Center representative.

• You’ll pay no commission for buying and selling U.S.-listed equities and ETFs when you trade online. There are other costs associated with certain products, including mutual funds and ETFs. Option trades are subject to an additional fee.

• When we provide you with a recommendation as your broker-dealer or act as your investment adviser, we must act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we generate revenue may create some conflicts of interest. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations and investment advice we provide you.

• Here are some examples of potential conflicts to help you understand what this means.

  • We may recommend proprietary products issued or managed by J.P. Morgan, resulting in more compensation to our firm on purchases of these products. This gives us an incentive to recommend proprietary products before products or services issued by third parties.

  • We may recommend products issued by third parties and receive compensation or other types of nonmonetary benefits from them in return for recommending products they issue.

  • We may receive compensation in the form of revenue sharing for investments made by our clients in affiliated or third-party products.

  • We may sell a security directly from our own account to a client account or purchase a security into our own account directly from a client account (referred to as principal trading). We may have a financial incentive to recommend that a security be sold on a principal basis if, for example, we own the security in our own account and we believe the security will decline in value or want to sell it for another reason. In some account types, including investment advisory accounts, we generally do not allow principal trading.

  • JPMS may act as underwriter, initial purchaser or placement agent in connection with securities offerings and typically receives compensation from the seller or issuer.

  • We may use our own broker-dealer to provide you with investments and services, for example trade execution and access to market research, for which we may earn additional compensation.

  • Some clients may have access to investment banking services for which JPMS could earn separate compensation.

We compensate our financial professionals in different ways, depending on how we serve you.

• In certain cases, our financial professionals receive a monthly minimum salary, along with product-related revenue in the form of commissions and advisory fees.

  • For example, in a full-service brokerage account, we charge commissions on the purchase or sale of a security, and certain products can also have embedded or ongoing product fees. We use those commissions, costs and fees to pay our financial professionals. Higher commissions, costs or fees could lead to higher compensation for a financial professional.

  • Similarly, we may credit a portion of the asset-based fee in an investment advisory account to our financial professionals. So, they will earn more based on the amount of assets that are enrolled in investment advisory programs.

  • We may also pay bonuses to certain financial professionals for reaching revenue production or client asset targets.

• We pay an annual salary and a cash incentive, or bonus, to certain financial professionals. Their compensation is not directly tied to the frequency of client trading or the amount of client assets in investment advisory programs.
