Overview
JPMorgan American’s objective is to provide shareholders with capital growth from North American investments. In order to achieve its investment objectives and to seek to manage risk, the company mainly invests in a diversified portfolio of quoted companies including, when appropriate, exposure to smaller capitalisation stocks. JPMorgan American currently has separate portfolios dedicated to larger capitalisation and smaller capitalisation exposure. The number of investments in the larger capitalisation portfolio will normally range between 60-100 stocks representing between 80-100% of the equity portfolio. The number of investments in the smaller capitalisation portfolio will normally range between 100-120 stocks representing between 0-20% of the equity portfolio. JPMorgan American may invest in pooled funds to achieve these aims.
