J.P. Morgan in Japan

Local Presence

Letter from the Senior Country Officer

J.P. Morgan’s history in Japan dates back to 1924, the year after the Great Kanto Earthquake when J.P. Morgan underwrote disaster recovery bonds issued by the Japanese government. Since then, Japan has been one of the most important markets for the firm. J.P. Morgan provides various services through JPMorgan Securities Japan Co., Ltd., JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., Tokyo Branch, and JPMorgan Asset Management (Japan) Limited to corporate clients, financial institutions and government agencies.

In the words of J.P. Morgan Jr., the firm is dedicated to conducting “first-class business in a first-class way” and to be the world’s most trusted and respected financial services institution. Corporate responsibility has also always been central to how we do business, and we actively contribute to local communities.

We strive to retain talent, and leverage our strength, global reach, expertise, relationships, and our access to capital to continue providing the best solutions for our clients.

Senior Country Officer, Japan

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

At J.P. Morgan, we believe that if our teams are more diverse, we will generate better ideas and outcomes, enjoy a stronger corporate culture and outperform our competitors. That starts, first and foremost, with building and fostering an inclusive work environment where our employees are respected, trusted and encouraged to bring their whole selves to work. It also means actively working to incorporate DEI considerations into how we hire, develop and support our employees; design and deliver our products and services; leverage our purchasing power; invest in our communities; engage on public policy issues; and more.

Japan’s diversity and inclusion initiatives include:
