JPMorganChase (NYSE:JPM) recently launched a client advisory service to harness the firm’s network, expertise, and resources to help clients navigate the increasingly complex global business landscape.
Led by Derek Chollet, touted as one of Washington’s leading foreign policy experts, the JPMorganChase Center for Geopolitics (CfG) leverages additional insights from geopolitical and business advisors from across and outside of the firm.
Today (11 July), the Financial Times reports JPMorganChase CEO Jamie Dimon warning European leaders that they have a competitiveness problem amid a ‘losing’ battle to rival China and the US. Dimon, who has run the global firm since 2006, also warns that financial markets have become too relaxed about US President Donald Trump’s repeated threat of tariffs, the Financial Times reports.
The comments come as the CfG taps into insights from experts across the bank, the firm’s International Council, and others externally including 66th US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Tony Blair, and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan.
Speaking recently when launching the CfG, Dimon says in today’s world, business leaders must navigate rising global competition coupled with unprecedented interconnectedness, disruptive technological forces, persistent economic uncertainty and proliferating geopolitical crises.
“CfG will help our clients meet this moment by providing strategic vision, tested experience, and data-driven analysis that will support them in addressing the opportunities and challenges of a changing global economy and a fast-changing world,” the CEO says.
“CfG will work firmwide to leverage a broad team of experts to advise clients on how to anticipate and respond to top geopolitical trends and events reshaping the global landscape, including the rise of artificial intelligence, the rewiring of global trade and supply chains, US-China relations, and evolving dynamics in Europe and the Middle East.”
Head of CfG Derek Chollet says working with clients every day, the team has a front row seat to how global economic uncertainty is forcing business leaders to evaluate their short- and long-term playbooks, assessing risks and seizing opportunities.
“Leveraging the full force of JPMorganChase as a leading global financial institution uniquely positions us to help clients make informed business decisions that enhance their commercial and competitive advantages and add value for shareholders,” Chollet adds.
JPMorganChase is a US-based financial services firm with operations worldwide. It had US$4.4 trillion ($6.73 trillion) in assets and US$351 billion in stockholders’ equity as of 31 March 2025.
