7yr ETF Efficiente Contingent Annual Income Note

North America Structured Investments


OVERVIEW

JPMorgan ETF Efficiente 5 Index (the “Index”) is a cross-asset strategy that aims to maximize returns per unit of risk by using portfolio optimization technology. The strategy uses the concept of the efficient frontier to select the optimum portfolio from a universe of 12 exchange-traded funds and a cash index, and aims to maximize returns while keeping the realized volatility at or below 5%. The strategy rebalances monthly and is non-discretionary. The Index levels incorporate an adjustment factor of 0.50% per annum which is deducted daily.

The notes offer an annual interest payment equal to the greater of [1.25%-1.50%] per annum or the annualized performance of the Index. Any payment on the notes is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

May be appropriate for investors requiring asset and geographical diversification, principal protection and FDIC Insurance up to applicable limits.

Selected Risks

• For each determination date, if the Cumulative Index Return is negative or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, your interest payment will equal [1.25%-1.50%] for that period. No guaranteed Interest Payment above the Minimum Interest Rate.

• Payment on the notes at maturity is subject to the our credit risk. Therefore the value of the notes prior to maturity will be subject to changes in the market’s view of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness.

• Certain built-in costs are likely to adversely affect the value of the notes prior to maturity.

• You aggregate interest payments may yield a lower return than the strategy performance over the term of the notes.

• The Index Factor negatively impacts the Interest Rate over time, which can result in lower interest payments for increases in the strategy later in the term of the notes.

• The strategy may not be successful. It may not outperform an alternative strategy related to the ETF Constituents. Changes in the value of strategy constituents may offset each other.

• The strategy is subject to emerging markets risk, fixed income risks, currency exchange risk, real estate risk, small capitalization stock risk and the uncertain legal and regulatory regimes which govern commodities future contracts.

• Your Interest Payments may be reduced upon the occurrence of a commodity hedging disruption event.

• Lack of liquidity: JPMorgan Securities, LLC, acting as agent for the Issuer (and who we refer to as JPMS), intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. The price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to purchase notes from you in the secondary market, if at all, may result in a significant loss of your principal.

• Our affiliate, JPMSL, is the index calculation agent and may adjust the strategy in a way that affects its level.

• Potential Conflicts: we and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the notes, including acting as a calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes.

• Many economic and market factors, such as index volatility, time to maturity, interest rates and creditworthiness of the Issuer, will impact the value of the notes prior to maturity.

• The tax consequences of the notes maybe uncertain.

• The risks identified above are not exhaustive. Please see “Risk Factors” in the applicable product supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations” in the applicable term sheet for additional information.

The JPMorgan ETF Efficiente 5 Index

The JPMorgan ETF Efficiente 5 Index (the “Index”) was developed and is maintained and calculated by J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. (“JPMSL”), one of our affiliates.  JPMSL acts as the calculation agent for the Index (the “index calculation agent”).  The Index is a notional dynamic basket that tracks the excess return of a portfolio of 12 exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (each an “ETF Constituent,” and collectively the “ETF Constituents”), with dividends reinvested, and the JPMorgan Cash Index USD 3 Month (the “Cash Constituent”) (each a “Basket Constituent,” and collectively the “Basket Constituents”) above the return of the Cash Constituent, less a fee of 0.50% per annum that accrues daily.  The Basket Constituents represent a diverse range of asset classes and geographic regions.

The Index rebalances monthly a synthetic portfolio composed of the Basket Constituents. The Index is based on the “modern portfolio theory” approach to asset allocation, which suggests how a rational investor should allocate his capital across the available universe of assets to maximize return for a given risk appetite.  The Index uses the concept of an “efficient frontier” to define the asset allocation of the Index.  An efficient frontier for a portfolio of assets defines the optimum return of the portfolio for a given amount of risk. The Index uses the volatility of returns of hypothetical portfolios as the measure of risk.  This strategy is based on the assumption that the most efficient allocation of assets is one that maximizes returns per unit of risk.  The index level of the ETF Efficiente Index is determined by tracking the return of the synthetic portfolio above the return of the Cash Constituent.

The weights assigned to the Basket Constituents within the synthetic portfolio are rebalanced monthly.  The strategy assigns the weights to the Basket Constituents based upon the returns and volatilities of multiple hypothetical portfolios comprising the Basket Constituents measured over the previous six months.  The re-weighting methodology seeks to identify the weight for each Basket Constituent that would have resulted in the hypothetical portfolio with the highest return over the relevant measurement period, subject to an annualized volatility over the same period of 5% or less.  Thus, the portfolio exhibiting the highest return with an annualized volatility of 5% or less is then selected, with the weightings for such portfolio applied to the Basket Constituents. In the event that none of the portfolios has an annualized volatility equal to or less than 5%, this volatility threshold is increased by 1% and this analysis performed again until a portfolio is selected.

The Index is described as a “notional” or synthetic portfolio or basket of assets because there is no actual portfolio of assets to which any person is entitled or in which any person has any ownership interest.  The Index merely references certain assets, the performance of which will be used as a reference point for calculating the level of the Index.

What Are the Interest Rates for Different Interest Payment Dates, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Index?

The following tables and examples illustrate hypothetical Interest Rates for different Interest Payment Dates, based on a range of Cumulative Index Returns on the various Interest Determination Dates.  The tables and examples assume a hypothetical Initial Index Level of 110 and a Minimum Interest Rate of 1.25% (the low point of the expected range on the cover).  The actual Minimum Interest Rate will be determined on the pricing date and will not be less than 1.25% per annum or greater than 1.50% per annum.  Each example below assumes a set of specific, hypothetical Cumulative Index Returns and shows how the Index Factor for each of the seven Interest Determination Dates would affect the determination of the applicable Interest Rate.  The hypothetical Interest Rates set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual Interest Rates applicable to a purchaser of the notes.   You should consider carefully whether the notes are suitable to your investment goals.

The following results are based solely on the hypothetical examples cited and assume that a commodity hedging disruption event has not occurred during the term of the notes.  The hypothetical Interest Payments set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual Interest Payments applicable to a purchaser of the notes.  The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Total Interest Payments:

$140.00

Explanation for Example 1

In example 1, the Index increases by approximately 2% during each year over the term of the notes.  Because, on each Interest Determination Date, the product of the Cumulative Index Return and the Index Factor is equal to 2%, which is greater than the Minimum Interest Rate, the Interest Rate for each Determination Date is equal to 2%.  Accordingly, the investor receives the total Interest Payments over the term of the notes equal to $140.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Total Interest Payments:

Explanation for Example 2

In example 2, the Index decreases by approximately 2% during each year over the term of the notes.  Because, on each Interest Determination Date, the product of the Cumulative Index Return and the Index Factor is equal to -2%, which is less than the Minimum Interest Rate, the Interest Rate for each Determination Date is equal to the Minimum Interest Payment of 1.25%.  Accordingly, the investor receives the total Interest Payments over the term of the notes equal to $87.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Explanation for Example 3

In example 3, the Index increases by varying amounts during each year over the term of the notes.  Even though the Index increases over the term of the notes, due to the application of the Index Factor, the Interest Payments do not increase at the same rate and, in some cases, the Interest Payments decrease.  The investor receives the total Interest Payments over the term of the notes equal to $112.50 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Total Interest Payments:

$175.00

Explanation for Example 4

In example 4, the Index increases by approximately 4% during each of the first three years of the term of the notes, then decreases by approximately 5% during each of the final four years of the term of the notes.  In this example, because the increase in the level of the Index occurs early in the term of the notes (and the decrease in the level of the Index occurs late in the term of the notes), the Interest Rate remains above the Minimum Interest Rate for five of the seven Interest Determination Dates, and the investor receives the total Interest Payments over the term of the notes equal to $175.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Explanation for Example 5

In example 5, the Index decreases by approximately 4% during each of the first two years of the term of the notes, then approximately increases by approximately 5% during each of the final five years of the term of the notes.  In this example, because the decrease in the level of the Index occurs early in the term of the notes (and the increase in the level of the Index occurs late in the term of the notes), the Interest Rate remains below the Minimum Interest Rate for four of the seven Interest Determination Dates, and the investor receives the total Interest Payments over the term of the notes equal to $108.30 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Total Interest Payments:

$700.00

Explanation for Example 6

In example 6, the Index increases by approximately 10% during each year over the term of the notes.  Because, on each Interest Determination Date, the product of the Cumulative Index Return and the Index Factor is equal to 10%, which is greater than the Minimum Interest Rate, the Interest Rate for each Determination Date is equal to 10%.  Accordingly, the investor receives the total Interest Payments over the term of the notes equal to $700.00 per $1,000 principal amount note.

These payouts on the notes shown above do not reflect fees or expenses that would associated with any sale in the secondary market.  If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical payouts shown above would likely be lower.

Hypothetical Back-Tested Data and Historical Information

The following graph sets forth the hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index based on the hypothetical back-tested weekly Index closing levels from January 6, 2006 through October 22, 2010 and the historical performance of the Index based on the Index closing levels from October 29, 2010 through September 30, 2011.  The Index was established on October 29, 2010.  The Index closing level on October 3, 2011 was 108.50.  We obtained the Index closing levels below from Bloomberg Financial Markets.  We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets.

The hypothetical back-tested and historical values of the Index should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Index closing levels on the pricing date or the Observation Date.  The data for the hypothetical back-tested performance of the Index set forth in the following graph were calculated on materially the same basis on which the performance of the Index is now calculated but does not represent the actual historical performance of the Index.

The hypothetical historical values above have not been verified by an independent third party.  The back-tested, hypothetical historical results above have inherent limitations.  These back-tested results are achieved by means of a retroactive application of a back-tested model designed with the benefit of hindsight.  No representation is made that an investment in the notes will or is likely to achieve returns similar to those shown.

Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions would produce different hypothetical historical information that might prove to be more appropriate and that might differ significantly from the hypothetical historical information set forth above.  Hypothetical back-tested results are neither an indicator nor a guarantee of future returns.  Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis implied in the hypothetical historical information that forms part of the information contained in the chart above.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

We expect that delivery of the notes will be made against payment for the notes on or about the settlement date set forth on the front cover of this term sheet, which will be the fifth business day following the expected pricing date of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as T+5). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the pricing date or the succeeding business day will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
