case study
The case study details how a large firm approached J.P. Morgan looking to improve their 401(k) account. The firm "investment solution that offered flexibility and control, and employed a leading technology infrastructure that allowed them to implement a custom target-date fund structure into their retirement plan in a cost-efficient and flexible manner".
The solution was for JP Morgan to "manage and service their new target-date fund offering. The deciding factors included the firm’s offering of an integrated end-to-end, bundled target-date fund solution at a compelling price, innovative investment strategies, and the ability to support this complex, customized open architecture".
conclusion
Based on the successful performance reported by JP Morgan Chase in Q4 of 2017, and their recent announcement to expand, JP Morgan Chase is currently performing well within the financial market, and is projecting to grow within the next three years.
