Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Seven years ago, the world was shaken by the global financial crisis. And since then,
our company has been dealing with extraordinary challenges as a result of that crisis.
We have endured an unprecedented economic, political and social storm — the impact
of which will continue to be felt for years and possibly decades to come. What is
most striking to me, in spite of all the turmoil, is that our company became safer and
stronger — and it never stopped supporting clients, communities and the growth of
economies around the world.
I feel extraordinarily privileged to work for this great company with such talented
people. Our management team and our employees do outstanding work every single
day — sometimes under enormous pressure — while dealing with an extreme number
of complex business and regulatory issues. The way our people and our firm are
able to address our challenges and admit our mistakes while continuing to grow our
businesses and support our clients fills me with pride.
Jamie Dimon,
Chairman and
Chief Executive Ocer
