...JPMorgan Chase I. Abstract The credit derivatives were introduced in the early 1990s, as large derivatives dealer searched for ways to transfer risk in financial markets. Although the financial innovations have only been used for decades, activity in credit derivations has grown rapidly. According to the Bank for International Settlement, the credit derivatives market reaches $21 trillion in 2014, and the main players for credit derivatives are investment banks, corporations or insurance companies. (Bank for International Settlement, 2014) Credit derivatives are relatively complex financial instrument, since it utilizes the leverage technique to mitigate the credit risk. One the one hand, credit derivatives allow banks to mitigate credit risk, reduce undesired risks and customize their risk profiles. On the other hand, the use of credit derivatives contains potential risks to the company since the market is still new. Users of credit derivatives must recognize and mange numerous associated risks. In fact, the historical evidence has shown that credit derivatives are the major causes to financial crisis. (Borodovsky & Lore, 2000) Although it is important to assess credit risk and market risk in the bank investment, operational risk is the fundamental part to the ultimate success of investment. “Operational risk is the risk of a breakdown in the operations of the derivatives program or risk management system.” (Chance & Brooks, 2012) Operational risk was generally defined...

...JPMorgan Chase LEG100 Professor Cheri Reiser 03/04/2013 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. In the summer of 2012, JPMorgan Chase, the biggest U.S. bank, announced trading losses from investment decisions made by its Chief Investment Office (CIO) of $5.8 billion. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was provided falsified first quarter reports that concealed this massive loss. The mission of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. Requiring public companies to disclose meaningful financial information to the public is an effective approach the SEC takes in order to assure the securities of this nation (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). This helps investors prevent high-risk gambles and allows them to make sound decisions when deciding on which companies to invest in. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulates the commodity futures and options markets. Its goals include the promotion of competitive and efficient futures markets and the protection of investors against manipulation, abusive trade practices and fraud (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). Both the SEC and the CFTC played a role in investigating...

...Week 8 Assignment 2: Joshua Baker Leg100 Instructor: Prof. Madhavi Basnet-Karki Tuesday, November 26, 2013 In the summer of 2012, JPMorgan Chase, the biggest U.S. bank, announced trading losses from investment decisions made by its Chief Investment Office (CIO) of $5.8 billion. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was provided falsified first quarter reports that concealed this massive loss. Now we are going to 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...

...ASSIGNMENT 1: SOCIAL MEDIA BESSIE BEARD PROFESSOR SAMUEL CHRISTIAN BUSINESS LAW 100 11 August 2014 In attempts to survive E-commerce and rapidly evolving technological advances, businesses are looking to social media marketing to predict and take advantage of increasing consumer buying power on the web. It’s no secret that consumers are actively perusing social media for the best prices, variety, and reviews of products and businesses as they make purchases for everyday needs and specialty items. In many instances, consumers have traded instant gratification from in-store purchases with the satisfaction of cost savings from items bought online. At the vanguard of such a decision to shop online rather than in-store is convenience. The web is the ultimate one stop shop. Big businesses, such as Wal-Mart, Target, Nike, and Best Buy offer all of their products online at reduced pricing and special deals. So, how does a business preserve its market-share and profitability in the web-based marketplace? It looks to social media. Social media outlets assist businesses in not only maintaining their customer base but also increasing the audience that sees and purchases its products. One such social media outlet is Facebook. Not only are companies paying Facebook to advertise their products and services, but they are also creating company Facebook pages to market to consumers and address concerns with products and services. Consumers are able to rate and review the products and...

...Derivative Losses at JPMorgan Chase LaVita Rodriguez Business Government and Society Case Study: Derivative Losses at JP Morgan Chase 1. Does this case indicate that JPMorgan and the federal government were in a collaborative partnership or working at arms length? Why do you think so? In a collaborative partnership the government works closely with organizations in efforts to achieve a common objective that is mutually beneficial. Working at arm’s length is the opposite of a collaborative partnership due to the objectives of the organization and government being opposite, creating an adversarial relationship between them. In the case of JP Morgan and the federal government, they demonstrate working at arm’s length. The federal government imposed regulations that would extend government oversight in the trading of derivatives by implementing government rules that required trades involve intermediaries in public “clearing houses” so that regulators could closely inspect transaction (Lawrence, A. T., & Weber, J., 2014). JPMorgan opposed the idea of trading derivatives in public because it would potentially benefit rivals and compromise the profit of the bank (Lawrence, A. T., & Weber, J., 2014). The objectives of the federal government and JPMorgan do not align. The federal government wants to implement regulations that would work to restructure JPMorgan from being able to take excessive risks that would result in large bailouts being forced onto taxpayers who are already...

...Effects on management Merger & Acquisitions (M&A) term explains the corporate strategy which determines the financial and long term effects of combination of two companies to create synergies or divide the existing company to gain competitive ground for independent units. A study published in the July/August 2008 issue of the Journal of Business Strategy suggests that mergers and acquisitions destroy leadership continuity in target companies’ top management teams for at least a decade following a deal. The study found that target companies lose 21 percent of their executives each year for at least 10 years following an acquisition – more than double the turnover experienced in non-merged firms.[10] If the businesses of the acquired and acquiring companies overlap, then such turnover is to be expected; in other words, there can only be one CEO, CFO, et cetera at a time. Types of M&A by functional roles in market The M&A process itself is a multifaceted which depends upon the type of merging companies. - A horizontal merger is usually between two companies in the same business sector. The example of horizontal merger would be if a health cares system buys another health care system. This means that synergy can obtained through many forms including such as; increased market share, cost savings and exploring new market opportunities. - A vertical merger represents the buying of supplier of a business. In the same example as above if a health care system buys the ambulance services...

His family was already established. He just added his way of doing thing when his time came along. In 1895, the firm was reorganized as J.P. Morgan & Company. 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.

It is user friendly, it offers amazing capabilities, it is a time and money saver, and it has room for improvement. Chase has brought banking into our hands. The purpose of the application is to make banking for their customers stress-free.

All they do is input the amount of the check, take a front and back picture of the check and click submit. Customers can also view their banking and credit card balances and transaction history. Customers can transfer money between Chase and non-Chase accounts, in different ways. They offer Transfer Money, Wire Transfer, and Chase QuickPay. I just used the QuickPay feature today. My little sister bought my tickets to Lollapalooza so I paid her back through QuickPay. In order for the money to get deposit to her account, we both have to enrolled in the Person-to-Person QuickPay. Once we both signed up, I type her e-mail or phone number and the amount to transfer and submit it. Once sent, she approves the transaction, and it is complete. I am also able to pay bills with the application. This feature is truly helpful; I set up reminders on my phone to remind me of when my payments are due. When my reminder goes off, at that moment I log in to my Chase application...
