Ted Orben

Ted Orben is a Sustainable Investing Associate at J.P. Morgan Private Bank. In his role, Ted partners closely with advisors across the United States to deliver a specialized approach to sustainable investing based on the long-term investment goals and wealth planning priorities of clients in the Private Bank.

Ted joined J.P. Morgan in 2022, and in his previous role at the firm, he worked on the Financial Institutions Group in the Private Bank. Supporting the co-founder of the Financial Institutions Group, Ted advised ultra-high-net-worth hedge fund principals, asset managers, and private equity founders on formulating a holistic wealth management approach for their personal assets, and in many cases, their fund’s assets. Ted’s experience with some of the most influential financial executives in the world helped him develop a sophisticated understanding of the way that clients create their investment strategy, expand their wealth’s capabilities through customized lending solutions, and build their wealth plan to align with their family’s goals.

Ted’s experience in sustainable investing has been tailored to climate change solutions, particularly in private markets. Ted was a notable contributor to Climate Tech VC (now Sightline Climate) which is an industry-leading newsletter with over 60,000 subscribers covering all venture capital and growth equity activity across the climate technology space. His work at CTVC led him to pursue an opportunity at Buoyant Ventures, an $100M female-led climate technology fund focused on investing in early-stage companies developing digital solutions to the climate crisis.

Ted earned his B.A. from Brown University where he studied Environmental Studies and Economics, two concentrations which naturally led him to pursue a career in sustainable finance. At Brown, Ted helped to coordinate the largest student-led sustainable investing conference known globally, the Future of Sustainable Investing Conference (FSIcon).

Originally from Connecticut, Ted currently resides in Manhattan where he avidly supports his favorite NHL Team, the New York Rangers. In his free time, Ted enjoys skiing, cooking, running, attending concerts, and spending time with his family of six and three dogs.
