printJPMorgan is a global leader in credit markets, which includes:
Debt Capital Markets & High Grade Origination
Serving corporate, institutional and government clients, JPMorgan’s presence in the global credit markets is unmatched. The firm combines superior debt origination and structuring expertise with exceptional distribution capabilities to a large base of investors.
The Origination team works directly with issuers, including corporations, banks and sovereign governments that seek funding. JPMorgan advises these clients on debt financing strategies, from a simple bank loan to multi-billion dollar capital raising across asset classes. Colleagues partner across borders to deliver successful structuring, marketing and pricing. The business then distributes that product to investor clients.
Syndicated and Leveraged Finance
JPMorgan provides leveraged financing to companies to help them achieve objectives such as making an acquisition, effecting a buy-out, repurchasing shares or funding a one-time dividend or investment. JPMorgan arranges leveraged loans, high-yield or junk bonds and mezzanine debt for clients.
Structured Credit
JPMorgan’s Structured Credit team is the area with expertise in credit derivatives, structured products and collateralized debt obligations globally. Structured credit products are used by clients to achieve many financial objectives, including yield enhancement, credit risk management, capital efficiency and benchmark outperformance.
CDOs

Issuers of CDOs include commercial banks, insurance companies and money managers, who use the products to either gain regulatory capital relief and manage their credit exposure or lock in term funding and incremental fee income.
