Sales & Trading
Instant responsibility. Instant results. Instant recognition.
High energy. High drama. The thrill of the deal. Big decisions. Immediate rewards. A career in Sales & Trading isn’t for the faint-hearted. But for those who can balance risk-taking with sound judgment, there’s nothing quite like it.
About Sales & Trading
J.P. Morgan is one of the world’s largest trading firms, renowned globally for our breadth of services and unparalleled expertise. Our teams create markets in virtually all major asset classes. We engineer innovative and sophisticated financial solutions to help clients manage risk, increase returns and solve complex financial problems. Globally, we hold leadership positions across the equity and fixed-income product spectrum and have major hubs in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. Sales & Trading is the collective name we give to our Credit, Rates, Equities, Emerging Markets, Currencies, and Commodity groups.
J.P. Morgan was named “Best Derivatives House of the Past 20 Years” by Risk magazine in 2007. Said Risk in its “Risk 20 Awards” issue: “J.P. Morgan has spent much of the past two decades setting the pace for the derivatives market,” and “is one of the few firms that can boast muscle across all the major asset classes.” (Risk, July 2007)
The breadth of our global product platform is a powerful business generator. Satisfying client needs is our foremost concern, and by assembling expert teams using a cross-sectional approach, rather than just by departmental or product categories, our clients get better service and better results. This approach also means that you’ll get to enjoy a more challenging and interesting range of business issues. We take part in a steady stream of IPOs and secondary offerings, and attract a constant flow of trading assignments. And, we are a leading innovator in the derivatives markets, structuring derivatives to solve clients' complex and often unique financial problems. In addition, our teams in Sales & Trading work closely with our award-winning Research teams to provide our leading client franchise with integrated, tailored products and efficient execution.
A market leader
We owe our success to many factors, primarily the sheer quality of our people. Size, too, continues to play an important role. Global finance is just that – global – and banks that can provide the best solutions first will end up as winners. Intelligence, size, scope, and staying power all matter. They’re qualities we have in abundance as evidenced by the leading positions we hold in so many global markets.
And we are constantly looking for ways to stay ahead. Thanks to our award-winning products and cutting-edge technology, our people have the support they need to do their jobs. Thanks to our commitment to meritocracy when promoting our people, the speed of your progression will be largely up to you.
Where will you join us in?
You can join us in one of several roles. Work in sales and you are the vital link between clients, traders and our research teams. Become a trader and execute and price transactions worth billions. If you’re a markets research analyst, you’ll provide valuable market insights and recommend market strategies that are as innovative as they are profitable.
