2. Ratio Analysis 3.1 JPMorgan Chase
Table 1 JPMorgan Chase | Year | 2012 | 2008 | 2006 | Interest Income | 56,063,000,000 | 73,018,000,000 | 59,107,000,000 | Interest Expense | 11,153,000,000 | 34,239,000,000 | 37,865,000,000 | Net Interest Income | 44,910,000,000 | 38,779,000,000 | 21,242,000,000 | Net Income | 21,284,000,000 | 5,605,000,000 | 14,444,000,000 | Total Assets | 2,359,141,000,000 | 2,175,052,000,000 | 1,351,520,000,000 | Total Liability | 2,155,072,000,000 | 2,008,168,000,000 | 1,235,730,000,000 | Total Equity Capital | 204,069,000,000 | 166,884,000,000 | 115,790,000,000 | | | | |

The data shown in table 1 are extracted from the annual report of JPMorgan Chase of year 2006, 2008 and 2012.
Table 2 RATIO of JPMorgan Chase | Year | 2012 | 2008 | 2006 | ROA | 0.0090 | 0.0026 | 0.0107 | ROE | 0.1043 | 0.0336 | 0.1247 | NIM | 0.0190 | 0.0178 | 0.0157 |

Table 2 demonstrates some important ratios based on the data in table 1. It can be seen from the time series that the ROA of JPMorgan Chase saw a decrease (from 0.0107 to 0.0026) and then increase to 0.009 from 2006 to 2012. The ROE experienced a similar trend and the ratio of 2012 (0.1043) was still lower than that of 2006 (0.1247). The lowest ROA and ROE should be result from the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008. While the 6 years had seen a steadily increase in the Net Income margin from 0.0157 to 0.0190.
Table 3 UBPR Peer Group Average Report - Summary Ratios | (Insured commercial banks having assets greater than $3 billion) | Year | 2012 | 200814 | 2006 | ROA | 1.0400 | -0.1600 | 1.2400 | ROE | 0.0815 | 0.0035 | 0.1222 | NIM | 3.3400 | 3.1200 | 3.2400 |

Comparing the Ratio of JPMorgan Chase to that from UBPR Peer Group Average Report, which shows the ratio of insured commercial banks having assets greater than $3 billion. Look at peer group average report as a whole, all the ratio of 2008 is less than that of 2006 and 2012. So conclusion get be reached that the Subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 brought great shake to the whole financial market, even the bank giants with assets above 3 billion could not avoid it. To look through it, it can be seen that the ROE of JPMorgan Chase was keeping at a level that higher than the peer average ratio in the three years. While the Net Income Margins kept at a ratio that below average level. According to Return on Assets, JPMorgan Chase had lower ratio than peer’s average in 2006 and 2012; however the ratio of 2008 is much higher than that of peers, which is negative. It can be concluded that the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 have less influence on JPMorgan than on its Peer banks.
2.2 First National Bank of Central Texas
Table 4 First National Bank of Central Texas | Year | 2012 | 200816 | 200616 | Interest Income | 25,874,000 | 21,534,000 | 18,874,000 | Interest Expense | 4,508,000 | 6,728,000 | 6,387,000 | Net Interest Income | 21,366,000.00 | 14,806,000.00 | 12,487,000.00 | Net Income | 14,093,000 | 7,931,000 | 5,226,000 | Total Assets | 685,685,000 | 389,757,000 | 332,007,000 | Total Liability | 632,098,000 | 355,692,000 | 302,601,000 | Total Equity Capital | 53,587,000 | 34,065,000 | 29,406,000 |

Table 4 provides extracted data from the annual report of First National Bank of Central Taxes of year 2006, 2008 and 2012.

Some important ratios of First National Bank of Central Taxes are shown at table 5. It can been seen that both ROA and ROE experienced an increase from 2006 to 2012, while the net income margin saw a slight increase from 0.0376 in 2006 to 0.0380 in 2008, and then a decrease to 0.0312 in 2012. It seems that the Subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 has little influence on the bank.
Table 6 UBPR Peer Group Average Report - Summary Ratios | (Insured savings banks having assets between $300 million and $1 billion) | Year | 2012 | 200817 | 2006 | ROA | 0.5500 | 0.0300 | 0.6100 | ROE | 0.0233 | -0.0050 | 0.0550 | NIM | 3.1200 | 2.8700 | 2.9100 |

Here peer group average report of insured saving banks having assets between $300 million and $1 billion is taken into comparison. From the Peer Group Average Report above, it can be found that the Subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 also have huge influence on these saving banks, especially ROE, which is -0.005.

3. Four primary management concerns
3.1 Asset – liability management
Chase’s largest three accounts under assets are trading assets (19%) which include debt and equity instruments and derivative receivables; securities (15%); and loans (31%). Net charge off rates on loan is on average 1.5% which indicates that Chase is holding mainly high quality assets. Debt and equity instruments mainly consist of fixed income securities which include government and corporate debt, and equity securities which include convertible securities. Securities held by Chase are primarily for manage the bank’s exposure to interest rate movements. The firm’s liabilities mainly consist of deposits, which counted for 55% of the total deposits. And the firm has very diversified funding resources, due to its diversified business lines. Significant portion of the firm’s deposits are retail deposits, which counted for 35% of total deposits. And retail deposits are considered less sensitive to interest rate changes or market volatility.
Unlike Chase, FNBCT has few likes of business, so its assets are mainly composed of Loans and lease financing receivables, which is about 69% of total assets. And the firm’s liabilities are mainly coming from deposits, which counts for 76% of total liabilities.
3.2 Liquidity risk management
In order to manage liquidity of the bank, Chase put out efforts such that it runs liquidity stress tests to make sure of sufficient liquidity of the bank. It also creates a contingency funding plan to manage unexpected adverse liquidity situations. Holding of trading assets increase the firm’s liquidity and Chase’s deposits-to-loan ratio is on average 163% as the end of 2012, therefore only about 61% of the deposits are being held up in loans which also indicates Chase has good liquidity. In comparison, FNBCT has a reserve-to-total assets ratio of 12% whereas Chase’s is only 2%, it also has a deposits-to-loan rate of 131%, which indicates that 76% of deposits are being held up in loans. Overall Chase has a larger percentage of liquid assets which is 21% compared to 12% that FNBCT has, and chase is more liquid.
3.3 Capital adequacy management
Chase and FNBCT are holding roughly the same amount of assets as bank capital which is 8%. With this low rate of bank capital holding, owners of the bank can acquire a large amount of return. However, it would be easily become insolvent.

4. Profitability issues
4.1 JP Morgan Chase
Summary:
According to the company annual report in 2006, 2008, and 2012, JP Morgan Chase (JPMC) has kept its revenues growth from $61.437 billion in 2006 to 67.252 billion in 2008 and stand at 97.031 billion in 2013. However, the net income has decreased tremendously in 2008 to 5.605 billion. Compared to 2006 and 2012. The major reason is the effects of the financial crisis on the financial institution. According to the report in 2008, JP Morgan Chase experiences the impact on Principle Transaction account with (-10.699 billion) and the provision for the credit loss was at 20.979 billion. The losses on these two accounts has affected the overall net income for JPMC. However, in 2012, the company has recovered from the economy depression and is at steady growth in revenue and income with the acceptable provision for credit losses at 3.385 billion. (in billions) | 2006 | 2008 | 2012 | Total Net Revenue | 61.437 | 67.252 | 97.031 | Net Income | 14.444 | 5.605 | 21.284 |

Strength:
The major strength of the JP Morgan Chase is its c to keep the revenue growth at steady rate throughout the period 2006-2012. Furthermore, the bank performance has been improving since 2006 with the increase in its net interest margin (NIM). The rate has increased from 1.57% in 2006 to 1.9% in 2012. Even in 2008, the rate was at 1.78% which is higher than it was in 2006. This ratio determines the bank's ability in making successful investment decision over its debt situation. (in millions) | 2006 | 2008 | 2012 | Net Interest Income | 21,242 | 38,779 | 44,910 | Total Asset | 1,351,520 | 2,175,052 | 2,359,141 | Net Interest Margin | 1.57% | 1.78% | 1.9% |

Weakness:
The major aspect that JP Morgan Chase should look forward to is its noninterest expense. The expense has increased at a rapid rate from 38.281 billion in 2006 to 64.729 billion in 2012. This leads to the net noninterest income has been negative in 2008-2012 period. Thus, this is the area that the company should improve on. (in millions) | 2006 | 2008 | 2012 | Noninterest Revenue | 40,195 | 28,473 | 52,121 | Noninterest Expense | 38,281 | 43,500 | 64,729 | Net Noninterest Income | 1,914 | (-15,027) | (-12,608) |

4.2 First National Bank Central Texas
Summary:
Based on the annual reports, the revenues for First National Bank Central Texas (FNBCT) has been increased from 18.874 million in 2006 to 25.874 million in 2012. The increasing in the interest income has a major impact on keeping the bank's net income grows at a steady rate of 51.76% in 2008 and 77.7% in 2012. The provision for loan and lease losses has decreased from 660,000 in 2006 to 450,000 in 2012. This helps the First National Bank to improve in its net income. | 2006 | 2008 | 2012 | Interest Income | 18,874,000 | 21,534,000 | 25,874,000 | Noninterest Income | 3,791,000 | 3,058,000 | 4,147,000 | Total Revenue | 22,665,000 | 24,592,000 | 29,734,000 | Interest Expense | 6,387,000 | 6,728,000 | 4,508,000 | Noninterest Expense | 9,704,000 | 9,658,000 | 13,392,000 | Total Expense | 16,091,000 | 16,386,000 | 17,900,000 | Net Income | 5,226,000 | 7,931,000 | 14,093,000 |

Strength:
The major strength of First National Bank Central Texas is the steady rate of its revenue growth throughout the period 2006-2012. Furthermore, the bank well managed its account of provision for loan and lease losses. Even in the heart of financial crisis in 2008, the provision for loan and losses is lower than in 2006 and 2012, $321,000 compared to 660,000 and 450,000. | 2006 | 2008 | 2012 | Net Interest Income | 12,487,000 | 14,806,000 | 21,366,000 | Total Asset | 332,007,000 | 389,757,000 | 685,685,000 | Net Interest Margin | 3.76% | 3.8% | 3.11% |

Weakness
Noninterest Expense is an area which First National Bank Central Texas should improve on. The expense has increase since 2006. This led to the negative net noninterest income for the bank in all three 2006, 2008 and 2012. Besides, net interest margin (NIM) is also on the decreasing trend. The ratio on 2012 is 3.11% compared to 3.8% in 2008. Therefore, the overall performance of the bank is declining due to inefficient use of the capital over its debt situations. | 2006 | 2008 | 2012 | Noninterest Revenue | 3,791,000 | 3,058,000 | 4,147,000 | Noninterest Expense | 9,704,000 | 9,658,000 | 13,392,000 | Net Noninterest Income | (-5,913,000) | (-6,600,000) | (-9,245,000) |

First National Bank Central Texas
Reserve ratio increased! In 2006 it was 4.55%, 2008 5.87%, and 2012 13.19%. According to the Federal Reserve, starting Jan. 22, 2015, banks need to have a reserve ratio of at least 10% for more than $103.6 million. http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm#table1
-Loans, as a result, (in percentage of total assets) decreased from 2008 to 2012 (though increased in number amount) in order to keep more money as reserves.
Texas bank also has 15% of its assets as securities, which, if they are treasury securities, can act as a secondary reserve due to the liquidity of the funds.
Bank capital is 7.87% of assets. Thus, giving a little more cushion to squeeze bank capital if needed.
Note! Bank had additional borrowings in 2008 from Federal Reserve (discount loans) to help keep bank liquid to help with liquidity management.

5.2 Credit Risk
For both banks, in order to cope with credit risk, they must go through a screening process for all loans. Once they loans have been established, it would be common to implement some restrictive covenants for the debtor. These would be rules and guidelines for the borrower to follow when working with the lender’s (the bank’s) money. This process would be easier for a larger bank like JP Morgan, because it can benefit from economies of scale more easily than a smaller bank such as First National Bank of Central Texas (FNBCT). Though FNBCT is a smaller bank, they specialize in Farm and Ranch Lending. This gives them an advantage in seeking out profitable lending opportunities that will be considered a safe investment for them.
5.3 Interest Rate Risk | 2012 | 2008 | 2006 | RSL | | | | 20% deposits | 123,494,400 | 63,004,400 | 56,933,200 | borrowed funds | | 23,255,000 | | Fed funds | 8,609,000 | 11,673,000 | 12,190,000 | Total RSL | 132,103,400 | 97,932,400 | 69,123,200 | | | | | RSA | | | | 20% securities | 21,190,400 | 3,975,400 | 4,566,000 | fed funds sold | - | 290,000 | 25,995,000 | 20% Loans | 94,066,000 | 65,439,200 | 51,116,800 | Total RSA | 115,256,400 | 69,704,600 | 81,677,800 | These are the numbers for FNBCT. From the table above, FNBCT has had more rate sensitive liabilities than rate sensitive assets in both 2008 and 2012. However, in 2006, they had more rate sensitive assets than rate sensitive liabilities. Thus, in the years 2008 and 2012, a rise in interest rates would reduce the net interest margin of the bank (as mentioned before, which is already close to 0). A net interest margin of zero is ideal for a bank because that would completely eliminate interest rate risk and the bank would be immune to fluctuations in interest rates in the market.
Interest rates dropped heavily in 2008 and have remained very low ever since. Thus, with interest rates so low, the only direction they can go is up, which would then benefit FNBCT, because it has more rate sensitive liabilities.

Morgan used his powerful influence to help level out American financial markets during several economic crises. However, he faced criticism that he had too much power and was accused of manipulating the nation’s financial system for his own gain. I am not sure what he had to gain from doing so. He was already established and famous. Morgan spent a large portion of his wealth amassing a vast art collection. I see it as having a hobby that can generate a great profit the older it gets.

...For this particular discussion, I chose a multinational banking and financial service provider company, JP Morgan Chase, which was enlisted as the 2nd most profitable company in 2015. According to Fortune 500 list, JP Morgan Chase & CO managed to become the largest bank in the U.S, the title that was previously owned by Bank of America.

Highbridge had $7 Billion in assets under management in 2004 when J.P. Morgan first purchased a controlling stake in the company.

Jp Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway

...J. P. Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway From 1820 to 1870, the Industrial Revolution brought innovations and growth to America’s economy. Of those breakthroughs rose the railroad and textile industries. With the railways falling into debt, John Pierpont Morgan was asked to intervene. Multiple railroads fell under his control due to his reorganization of the industry and his actions came to be known as “morganization.” Founded in 1889 as Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Company, Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates became one of the largest textile industries in the world. It was later recognized by Warren Buffett who seized control of the company and used it for further investments. This essay focuses on the question of: what can be learned by examining Morgan’s consolidation of the railroad industry and Berkshire’s astonishing growth? This era marked a shift to powered, special-purpose machinery, factories and mass production. Industrialization in America involved three important developments: the harnessing of electricity, improvements to the industrial process including the acceleration of production, and lastly the expansion of transportation. An improved transportation system was crucial for raw materials to reach the factories and manufactured goods to reach consumers. Morgan was fixated on the restructuring of railways and began by proposing agreements between major lines. “Oppressed by debt and overbuilding, more than a third of the country’s railway trackage fell into...

...Short Essays on the JP Morgan Trading Losses of the summer of 2012 LEG100 10/27/2013 JP Morgan Organizations such as the Securities Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission are independent agencies that are legally charged with regulating and providing guidelines for the trading and or exchanging of the goods and services within their respective jurisdictions. The Securities Act of 1934 has fully empowered the SEC to do a periodic evaluation of reports from companies that publicly trade their securities. The same act hands the SEC the powers to discipline individuals and entities that are regulated if found in breach of industry rules and regulation (Mahony, 1982). The Commodities Futures Trading Commission on the other hand was created in 1974 to protect individuals, the public and industry players from manipulation, fraud, and potentially abusive practices while at the same time fostering competitiveness, openness and creating markets that are sound (Teall, 2012). There are four basic elements of a contract as Miller (2012) writes. The first important requirement in the formation of a contract is an agreement. In an agreement there should be a party that offers to enter into the legal agreement and another one that accepts the terms of the offer placed. The terms of the contract should contain wording that allows meeting of the minds of both parties that allows them to consciously read and or understand what is in store for them...

Please read and review this analysis of the case utilizing IRAC method of case analysis. Issue JP Morgan Chase permitted traders in its London office to allocate magnified values to transactions and cover up huge losses as they continued to explode. Two traders could face criminal charges for fabricating records to cover up losses. JP Morgan’s charge to the $6 billion oversight in trading loss is the first for a main company since the Securities and Exchange Commission revised its practice of letting firms pay fines without admitting fault. An admission by JPMorgan could provide a pattern for pursuing other admissions in Wall Street cases. The Justice Department is aggressive in getting JPMorgan to admit that from 2005 to 2007, it sold mortgage securities to investors without fully warning of the risks. By wanting the bank to admit some responsibility, officials hope it will caution other corporations to double check before taking...

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was provided falsified first quarter reports that concealed this massive loss. Discuss how administrative agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) take action in order to be effective in preventing high-risk gambles in securities / banking, a foundation of the economy. The foundation of the United States economy is the banking industry and the American people need protection from the high risk gambles that these securities participate in. We need to understand how the Securities and Exchange Commission provides that protection. The SEC creates laws and rules that govern the banking industry in order to be effective in protecting the public. These regulations are derived from a simple and straightforward concept: all investors, whether large institutions or private individuals, should have access to certain basic facts about an investment prior to buying it, and so long as they hold it. In order to accomplish this, the SEC requires public companies to disclose meaningful financial and other information to the public.

...JPMorgan Chase Bank Risks Abstract: Fraud has remained a predominant factor in the trade of stocks, shares and other securities because of its unpredictability. The government has laid down many structures and developed enormous laws and enforcement agencies to handle the same. JPMorgan investment bank stands as an example of how hard it is to combat high-risk gambling, given that a bank of its standing and success could fall a victim of the same, notwithstanding the implication of its Chief Investment officer in the same. The essence of this is to show the challenges that the administrative agencies are faced with, and the actions and strategies they have laid down to deal with such incidences. In addition, it shows the centrality of the investor, and the financial institutions, in entering into a contract. There are several key elements to be considered in entering into a contract and it is important that all are adhered in order to ensure that both parties are well protected. They should be entered into in good faith, and as such, there are regulations that determine whether the investor had full disclosure on the investment they were entering into. Shares and securities of JPMorgan investment bank plunged down at an alarming rate after the company announced that it had made losses amounting to over $2 billion, with speculation that the losses could rise to over $7 billion (Leo, 2013).
