  • Testimony of Jamie Dimon Chairman and CEO, Jpmorgan Chase & Co
    Testimony of Jamie Dimon Chairman and CEO, JPMorgan Chase & Co. Before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission January 13, 2010 Chairman Angelides, Vice-Chairman Thomas, and Members of the Commission, my name is Jamie Dimon, and I am Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co. I appreciate the invitation to appear before you today. The charge of this Commission, to examine the causes of the financial crisis and the collapse of major financial institutions, is of paramount importance, and it will not be easy. The causes of the crisis and its implications are numerous and complex. If we are to learn from this crisis moving forward, we must be brutally honest about the causes and develop an understanding of them that is realistic, and is not – as we are too often tempted – overly simplistic. The FCIC’s contribution to this debate is critical as policymakers seek to modernize our financial regulatory structure, and I hope my participation will further the Commission’s mission. The Commission has asked me to address a number of topics related to how our business performed during the crisis, as well as changes implemented as a result of the crisis. Some of these matters are addressed at greater length in our last two annual reports, which I am attaching to this testimony. While the last year and a half was one of the most challenging periods in our company’s history, it was also one of our most remarkable. Throughout the financial crisis, JPMorgan Chase never posted a quarterly loss, served as a safe haven for depositors, worked closely with the federal government, and remained an active lender to consumers, small and large businesses, government entities and not-for-profit organizations.

  • Jpmorgan Chase: out of Control
    March 12, 2013 Joshua Rosner 646/652-6207 [email protected] JPMorgan Chase: Out of Control In this report we will focus on the risk management and internal control environment at JPMorgan Chase, a bank whose balance sheet is almost one-ninth the size of the United States economy. JPMorgan's financial filings, its "Task Force" investigation of losses in the CIO's office and its recent history of significant regulatory failures demonstrate that shareholders are continuing to be called upon to pay for the firm's inability to ensure an acceptable control environment. There are real risks of further regulatory or legislative changes to required leverage and capital ratios, and that the FDIC’s “single point of entry” approach to the orderly liquidation authority may result in new long-term debt issuance requirements at the holding company. Furthermore, other business risks appear under-appreciated, such as those associated with interest-rate risk management and also the collateral management of derivatives. While these fundamental issues deserve attention, they are not areas of focus in this report but will be addressed in a forthcoming report that considers the fundamental financial realities of “fortress JPM”. The failures we highlight are not exhaustive but should nonetheless serve to demonstrate the ongoing strains in managing a firm the size of JPMorgan and the benefits that would accrue to shareholders from better oversight and a business plan more focused on core operations. We have intentionally chosen not to detail all of the many private or public actions settled or outstanding (which have driven almost $16 billion in litigation expenses since 2009) or, other than the multistate settlement and foreclosure review settlement, the agreed to or unresolved costs of actions related to mortgage putback demands, including those of institutional investors, insurers, the GSEs, FHA, or the costs of foreclosure-related actions.

Braca, Dimon, Scharf, Corbat, Moynihan and Fairbank: As the economic toll of the coronavirus epidemic became apparent, Congress acted in a swift, bipartisan manner to provide aid to the American people, and particularly to small businesses to help them retain their workers. As the financial institutions you lead begin to process and disburse loans through the new Paycheck Protection Program, we want to express our concerns that many of the small businesses for which this help was intended will have difficulty taking advantage of this critical program and ask that you take steps to mitigate this. We have heard from a number of businesses in our districts that they are having difficulty initiating applications for the Paycheck Protection Program and have received confusing and conflicting information on prerequisites for an eligible application. While Congress provided robust funding for the program, resources are still finite. This means some of the less-resourced businesses in our district, which employ thousands of our constituents, may get shut out of the opportunity to receive forgivable loans to help them retain their employees.

  • Lehman Brothers
    Lehman Brothers Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Pink Sheets: LEHMQ, former NYSE ticker symbol LEH) (pronounced / ˈliːm ə n/ ) was a global financial services firm which, until declaring bankruptcy in 2008, participated in business in investment banking, equity and fixed-income sales, research and trading, investment management, private equity, and private banking. It was a primary dealer in the U.S. Treasury securities market. Its primary subsidiaries included Lehman Brothers Inc., Neuberger Berman Inc., Aurora Loan Services, Inc., SIB Mortgage Corporation, Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, Eagle Energy Partners, and the Crossroads Group. The firm's worldwide headquarters were in New York City, with regional headquarters in London and Tokyo, as well as offices located throughout the world. On September 15, 2008, the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following the massive exodus of most of its clients, drastic losses in its stock, and devaluation of its assets by credit rating agencies. The filing marked the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.[2] The following day, the British bank Barclays announced its agreement to purchase, subject to regulatory approval, Lehman's North American investment-banking and trading divisions along with its New York headquarters building.[3][4] On September 20, 2008, a revised version of that agreement was approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James M. Peck.[5] During the week of September 22, 2008, Nomura Holdings announced that it would acquire Lehman Brothers' franchise in the Asia Pacific region, including Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.[6] as well as, Lehman Brothers' investment banking and equities businesses in Europe and the Middle East.

  • 2 How Does Conduct Risk Manifest and Who Is Impacted? Annie Searle – Lecturer - University of Washington, the Information School, Seattle, Washington USA
    2 How does Conduct Risk Manifest and Who is Impacted? Annie Searle – Lecturer - University of Washington, The Information School, Seattle, Washington USA Introduction We are still on shaky ground when banking and financial institutions concern themselves with conduct risk and a single definition or a comprehensive set of standards. Despite fines, new regulations and additional training of employees, outsize risks continue to be taken, and bonuses are maintained or increased. Boards of directors have begun to see conduct risk as a large threat though there is no one definition of it. After the 2007-2008 financial crisis exposed large ethical and cultural fissures that drove high risk behaviours, more attention began to be paid to conduct risk. The 2011 Financial Services Authority (FSA) Retail Conduct Outlook defined it as “the risk that firm behaviour will result in poor outcomes for customers.” In its seminal survey report in 2013, Thomson Reuters broadened the definition to “risks attached to the way in which a firm, and its staff, conduct themselves…. including “matters such as how customers are treated, remuneration of staff and how firms deal with conflicts of interest.” (Thomson Reuters, Conduct Risk Report 2013) Regulatory oversight around conduct risk in the United Kingdom (U.K.) is far more advanced than in the United States (U.S.), where we study “people risk” as part of the Basel definition of operational risk; where Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has now defined the risk of “firm culture”; and where significant work has been done by the Carnegie Mellon CERT on “insider threats.” On both sides of the ocean, culture plays a large role.
