SEC Investigation into JPMorgan's Advisory Account Aggregation

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched two investigations that may affect the interests of advisors and clients of JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The SEC has initiated an inquiry into specific aspects of advisory programs offered by J.P. Morgan Securities, the brokerage and investment advisory subsidiary of the bank. This information was disclosed in the bank's third-quarter report filed on November 1, as reported by AdvisorHub. The investigations focus on the aggregation of accounts for billing, the application of discounts to advisory fees, and the selection of portfolio managers, as outlined in the bank's 10Q report.

In the same filing, the bank stated that JPMorgan is addressing the SEC's requests concerning the timing of the firm's liquidation of shares distributed in-kind to specific investment vehicles that invest in third-party managed private funds. Without disclosing further particulars about the two investigations, JPMorgan affirmed its cooperation with the SEC on both matters.

I learned two important things working with Ä¢¹½´«Ã½. First, I made a friend and ally with Jim and Steph for life. Secondly, and this is a crucial life lesson - if you need counsel, then seek out the very best. Jim was referred to me by a most trusted source. I've never had to hire an attorney for anything. Now, I know the value of hiring an important partner. Meticulous, thorough and detailed in preparation is the best way to describe Jim. Brilliant too, I might add. Bottom line, I would highly highly recommend Jim and Stephany for your legal needs. One of the best life decisions I've ever made.
