• Value added service designed to help investment advisers navigate their way around world markets
• Provides neutral information on key macro-economic themes
• Already an enthusiastic reception from IFAs and investment professionals
JPMorgan Asset Management (JPMAM) has today announced the launch of a new initiative designed to help IFAs familiarise themselves with the key features of global markets - both now and historically.
‘Guide to the Markets’, an unique and innovative market analysis tool, is delivered through a programme of events designed to cater for individual needs, providing tailored responses to the questions advisers really need answered. The event presentations are designed so that JPMAM’s global strategist, Tom Elliott, can interact with the audience, using his ‘ Guide to the Markets’ chart pack, to answer any questions that they may have on world stockmarkets or economies. ‘Guide to the Markets’ aims to:
Provide information – While there is an abundance of available information on the market and economy; there is no single source to go to for a consolidated view.
Offer insight – Investors are inundated with information from the press, however, they lack the necessary framework for organising and contextualising this information.
Provide greater visibility – Through a variety of efforts, JPMorgan Asset Management is viewed as a leading innovator in consolidating and presenting market information
Jasper Berens, Head of UK Sales at JPMorgan Asset Management, comments: “This launch is a direct response to the growing number of IFAs who feel that greater knowledge on the wider investment landscape will help them in their day to day work with clients. Most are familiar with fund ranges and general investment issues but feel that there is a gap in their knowledge that they would like filled.”
The presentation primarily focuses on the economy and equities of the United Kingdom, but also features information on world markets, Europe (ex UK), United States and Japan, as well as information on Global Fixed Income.
Berens continued: “‘Guide to the Markets’ is a groundbreaking initiative which we believe could change the way advisers and sales teams interact with their clients in the future. We have received a very enthusiastic response so far from the IFAs and investment professionals who have seen the tool in action. We’re aiming to make ‘Guide to the Markets’ the definitive tool for investment specialists, general advisers and sales teams alike. It is certainly designed to deliver a competitive edge.”
