JPMorgan: Plugging the gaps

Of all the global corporate and investment banks, Jamie Dimon’s JPMorgan remains the one whose overall performance is the yardstick for rivals. At more than $75 billion for the first three quarters of 2017, its revenues surpass all others, as do its profits of nearly $27 billion. 

Its corporate and investment banking division vies for top spot with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citi in both profits and revenue. It makes more money in fixed income, currencies and commodities than anyone else, even when that sector is experiencing some of its toughest times.
