Bellevue, WA Bellevue Way N.E. Office

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC provides investment consulting and advisory services primarily to institutional clients and retirement plan sponsors through its Institutional Consulting Services program, offering asset‑allocation advice, investment manager and fund searches, and customized performance reporting. Services are delivered by a select group of Wealth Advisors and are provided on a non‑discretionary basis, with clients retaining final decision‑making authority.

The firm’s process combines quantitative asset‑allocation modeling with centralized due diligence performed by a manager‑solutions team at a J.P. Morgan affiliate, and it applies an ESG eligibility framework when assembling investable universes and recommending Eligible Strategies. For the Program, JPMS generally charges asset‑based fees rather than fixed fees and limits recommendations to funds and strategies approved through its internal review processes.

Distinctive features include registrations and activities that are uncommon among peers: JPMS is registered as a security‑based swap dealer and as a futures commission merchant and is affiliated with swap‑dealer activities, expanding the product types it can access. The advisory business operates within the broader J.P. Morgan broker‑dealer and banking organization, commonly recommends affiliated funds and revenue‑sharing arrangements, and discloses a history of regulatory enforcement actions and settlements in its brochure.
