  • Building the Global Bank: an Interview with Jamie Dimon 51
    Building the global bank: An interview with Jamie Dimon 51 Building the global bank: An interview with Jamie Dimon The CEO of one of the largest US banks discusses postmerger integration, risk, and leadership. Clayton G. Deutsch J. P. Morgan Chase (JPMC) ranks among the world’s leading financial- services businesses, boasting $1.3 trillion in assets, a major US consumer- banking franchise, and operations in more than 50 countries. Created from a succession of mergers over recent years, JPMC prides itself on legacy institutions—Bank One, Chase Manhattan, Chemical, First Chicago, J. P. Morgan, Manufacturers Hanover, and National Bank of Detroit—that evoke a colorful history of entrepreneurship and banking innovation going back more than 200 years, to the founding of its earliest predecessor, in 1799. With a corporate headquarters in New York City and retail- and commercial- banking operations run from Chicago, J. P. Morgan Chase covers most of the main banking segments: investment banking, consumer financial services, small-business and commercial banking, financial-transaction processing, asset and wealth management, and private equity. The $58 billion merger with Bank One, in July 2004, was among JPMC’s most ambitious deals to date, marking the return to Wall Street of Jamie Dimon, Bank One’s former president and chief executive officer, who took John Massey over as president and CEO of J. P. Morgan Chase in early 2006.

  • JP Morgan Impact
    JPMorgan Impact When many parts of the country began recovering from the 2008 recession that shocked world markets, Detroit, Michigan was left behind. In other cities, those laid off found new jobs, and property values returned to healthier levels. The Motor City told a different story. Once the booming epicenter of the auto industry, Detroit faced a staggering unemployment crisis, and thousands of properties were being abandoned. In June 2009, the unemployment rate was frightening 28 percent, and more than a third of the city’s properties were foreclosed on between 2005 and 2014. The formerly affluent suburbs, which were once a source of relief for Michiganders within Detroit’s city limits, were combating the same issues of joblessness and blight as the inner city. These conditions combined with mass emigration and the sharp decline of the auto industry that once dominated Detroit’s job market made Detroit one of the most impoverished zip codes in the United States. Just a few decades ago, Detroit boasted the highest median income and the highest rate of home ownership of major cities in the U.S. After the Recession, Detroit now found itself 300 million dollars in debt, and the situation was growing worse. Minimal federal and state funding was available to address the dire situation in Detroit, calling for strong public-private partnerships to get the city back on track. Almost a decade after the Recession, the city of Detroit is now on the road to a strong recovery, thanks to private sector partners like JPMorgan Chase. In 2014, JPMorgan Chase made a five year, 100-million- dollar investment into the revitalization of Detroit and plans to invest 150 million into Detroit by 2019.
