Equities are essentially shares – certificates that represent a part ownership of an organization. Equity markets therefore provide companies with a chance to raise capital by issuing shares; a supervised market to trade securities and access to liquidity. Our objective is therefore simple - to provide detailed analysis and insight on companies within the marketplace, and by doing so create attractive investment opportunities for our clients.
The Cash Equities business consists of sales and trading of European, US, Latin American and Asian equities, serving a global investor client base. The Cash Equities business is all about trading single stocks as opposed to portfolios or derivatives. There are three core groups of people – traders, sales-traders and sales people, who provide execution services and market JPMorgan's research ideas to clients. The research ideas are drawn from both the London research department and from an international network of other researchers covering key sectors like oil and telecoms on a truly global basis.
