Investor Alert: Index linked Certificates of Deposit by JP Morgan Chase

Are you concerned about your investment in an index linked Certificate of Deposit with JP Morgan Chase? If so, the securities attorneys at the White Law Group may be able to help you by filing a FINRA Dispute Resolution Claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.

Market-linked CDs or index-linked CDs are certificates of deposit with a return based on a market index such as the S&P 500, a basket of equities or some combination of both.

These index linked CDs often underperform due to: 1) fees if you cash out early, 2) returns that are taxable as interest, 3) a cap on any gains,4) a risk of being redeemed by the issuing institution before maturity and 5) they are vulnerable to the impact of a weaker market.

Perhaps the biggest problem is the confusion created by calling these CDs.  Index linked CDs are not traditional CDs at all and are considerably more risky than a CD issued by a bank.

Based on information and belief, JP Morgan Chase BK NA Columbus Ohio CTF DEP is linked to the S&P Economic Cycle Factor Rotator Index.
