J.P. Morgan
About
The Social Finance unit brings financial services and financing to microfinance institutions and other enterprises serving the base of the economic pyramid. The Social Finance unit was launched in November 2007 as part of J.P. Morgan’s Investment Bank. The group serves as the center of expertise and client contact for social sector business opportunities. The geographic scope is global, with particular focus on developing countries where J.P. Morgan has presence. SF is founded on the premise that it is possible to achieve a “double-bottom line” of both social benefits and positive financial returns. We see those objectives as being complementary, not mutually exclusive.
J.P. Morgan is part of JPMorgan Chase & Co., a global financial services firm with assets of $2.3 trillion. The firm is a leader in investment banking, financial services for consumers, small business and commercial banking, financial transaction processing, asset management, and private equity.
