JPMorgan Asset Management (JPMAM) has received top marks from Citywire in its latest ratings, based on the funds’ performance in comparison to their peers and the risk undertaken to achieve this performance calculated to end of July 2007.

• Ian Henderson - JPM Natural Resources, JPM Global Financials
• Georgina Brittain - JPM UK Smaller Companies, JPM Smaller Companies Investment Trust
• Jim Campbell - JPM Europe Smaller Companies, JPM European Fledgeling Investment Trust
• Mark Davids - JPM UK Smaller Companies, JPM UK Dynamic, JPM Smaller Companies Investment Trust

Campbell Fleming, Head of UK business at JPMorgan Asset Management, commented: “We are proud to have award-winning managers at the helm of our funds and it proves that it is in times like these that experience and expertise are crucial. Our excellent past performance has been recognised by Citywire and this is testament to our disciplined investment process and our successful team-based approach.”
