New Issue: JPMorgan sells $5 million notes linked to Core Commodity Investable Global Asset Rotator

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, May 29 - JPMorgan Chase & Co. priced a $5 million issue of zero-coupon return notes due May 31, 2011 linked to the JPMorgan Core Commodity Investable Global Asset Rotator Conditional Long-Short index, according to a 424B filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the index return and an additional amount of $92.50. Investors will be exposed to any index decline, but will receive at least $92.50.

The Core Commodity Investable Global Asset Rotator Conditional Long-Short index is a measure developed by JPMorgan to implement a momentum-based algorithmic strategy for commodity allocations. It references the value of a synthetic portfolio selected from a limited universe of commodity sub-indexes, each of which is a component of the S&P GSCI index and is intended to serve as a benchmark value for a particular commodity. The algorithm is run every month and filters out sub-indexes that have not demonstrated consistent positive monthly performance over a one-year period, attributing greater weight to more recent monthly periods.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is the agent.
