The restructure will not impact existing office locations, the bank noted.

With a total capital base of around €34bn, JPMSE is said to be among the five largest banking entities in Germany and among the top 20 in the EU. 

Stefan Behr is JPMSE’s CEO who is also a member of the firm’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) management committee.

In a separate development, JP Morgan Asset Management formed a new sustainability-focused growth private equity investment team.

JPMorgan will support the team’s first investment strategy by investing $150m. 

The new team sits within JP Morgan Private Capital, a growth equity platform.

JP Morgan Asset Management CEO George Gatch said: “We are in a unique position to leverage our global scale, data science capabilities, and the expertise of our sustainability leaders to source and invest in best-in-class companies driving the sustainable future.”
