Performance Update -- February 2015
OVERVIEW
The J.P. Morgan Alternative Index Multi-Strategy 5 (USD) (the "Index" or "AI
Multi-Strategy 5") provides exposure to a portfolio of absolute return
strategies and aims to generate consistent positive returns with low
correlation to traditional asset classes. The underlying strategies are
selected from three investment styles (Momentum, Carry and Satellite) and cover
several asset classes. Index weights are rebalanced monthly to target a
volatility of up to 5%. The Index is algorithmic, with daily levels published
to Bloomberg. The Index is constructed as an excess return index.

Represents the performance of the Index based on, as applicable to the relevant
monthly or annual measurement period, the hypothetical back-tested daily Index
closing levels from January 1, 2006 to November 30, 2009, and the actual
historical performance of the Index based on daily Index closing levels from
November 30, 2009 to January 30, 2015. These performance returns represent the
individual monthly performances (so the closing level of the previous month is
used as the starting level of the subsequent month) and reflect the deduction
of the 0.80% bps p.a. adjustment factor.
*Past performance and back-tested performance are not indicative of future
results
Investment Styles
Momentum: Aims to exploit the observed tendency of many markets to trend up or
down for sustained periods of time.
Carry: Seeks to capitalize on the value differential between certain assets
and is typically implemented by notionally buying an asset that is on a
relative basis higher yielding (or lower priced) and selling an asset that is
lower yielding (or higher priced).
Satellite: Consists of mean reversion and short volatility strategies. Mean
reversion seeks to capitalize on the view that over the short term markets are
cyclical -- meaning that an upward trend is usually followed by a downward
trend and vice versa. Short volatility aims to exploit the observed tendency
of the implied volatility of an equity index to be higher than the volatility
realized by the index.

January 2015: Attribution by Strategy Style 0.8%
The Attribution by Strategy Style represents the monthly performance, by
investment style and asset class, using actual performances and allocations of
January 2015. The Attribution by Region epresents the aggregate monthly
performance of the strategy or asset class that trades in a particular
geographic region. Any asset class that trades in multiple geographic regions
is classified under the heading "Global". Past allocations should not be
considered indicative of the actual weights and performance of the designated
strategies and regions during the term of your investment. J.P. Morgan provides
no assurance or guarantee that the actual performance of the AI Multi-Strategy
5 would result in attributions and performance by Strategy Style and Region
displayed in the graphs above. The Attributions above reflect the deduction of
the 0.80% p.a. adjustment factor. Numbers in charts above have been rounded for
ease of analysis. Source: J.P. Morgan.

Key Risks:
Any securities we may issue linked to the Index may result in a loss, and are
exposed to J.P. Morgan Chase and Co. credit risk. The Index and underlying
strategies have limited operating history.
The reported level of the Index and most of the underlying strategies will
include the deduction of an adjustment factor. The Index may not be successful,
may not outperform any alternative strategy or achieve its 5% target
volatility.
The portfolio of underlying strategies may not be a diversified portfolio.
The Index involves monthly rebalancing and caps the sum of the weights of all
underlying strategies, at rebalance, to 200%. It is possible, although
unlikely, for the weight of a single underlying strategy to be close to 200%.
There are risks associated with momentum, carry, mean reversion or short
volatility investment strategies.
The Index comprises only notional assets and liabilities. Some underlying
strategies include notional short positions. Correlation of performances among
the underlying strategies may reduce the performance of the Index.
The Index is an excess return index and reflects the performance of unfunded or
uncollateralized investments in the assets underlying the Index. Commodity
futures contracts underlying some of the strategies are subject to uncertain
legal and regulatory regimes.
Our affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities plc ("JPMS plc"), is the Sponsor and
Calculation Agent for the Index and underlying strategies. JPMS plc may adjust
the Index or any underlying strategy in a way that affects its level. The Index
is subject to risks associated with currency exchange, interest rates, non-US
securities markets and the use of leverage and futures contracts.
The risks identified above are not exhaustive. You should also review carefully
the related "Risk Factors" section in the relevant product supplement and the
"Selected Risk Considerations" in the relevant term sheet or pricing
supplement.
