J.P. Morgan Alternative Index Multi-Strategy 5 (USD)
Performance Update -- November 2011
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 October 31, 2011. 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.

October 2011: Attribution by Strategy Style
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
October 2011: Attribution by Region
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
The Attribution by Strategy Style represents the monthly performance, by
investment style and asset class, using actual performances and allocations from
January 2010. The Attribution by Region represents 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 Ltd. ("JPMSL"), is the Sponsor and
Calculation Agent for the Index and underlying strategies. JPMSL 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.
