The number of wealth management client advisers at the end of September 2020 was 2,968, compared with 2,872 a year ago.

Assets under management were $2.6trn, a 16% increase due to cumulative net inflows into liquidity and long-term products.

JPMorgan chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said: “Asset & Wealth Management generated record revenue and net income and saw strong net inflows into long-term products.”

Group performance

At a group level too, the bank displayed resilience with net income rising 4% to $9.44bn from $9.1bn. Revenue was almost flat at $29.9bn.

The bank set aside $611m in loan loss provisions in Q3 2020. The reserve build was much smaller compared to $10.5bn in the previous quarter.

Noninterest expense of $16.9bn was 3% higher than the prior year, due to higher legal expense.
