Government Contracting in 2020
Don Irwin:
I am proud of our firm’s continuing efforts to invest in our clients. Providing best-in-class advice, execution and access to thought leadership. And nowhere is this more pronounced than our commitment to the government contracting industry.
Mark Marengo/Dave Khalsa:
When you look at the underlying fundamentals in defense, in government services, the near-term outlook remains incredibly attractive. And to put that into context, they imply low- to mid-single digit growth for 2020 and 2021.
A recent deal that was announced, which, um, I think will serve as certainly a green shoot for—for more activity to come.
Michael Lustbader:
I do think that there’ll be a ramp-up again in the fourth quarter, uh, when, uh, the—there’s an increased focus on some of the tax considerations of the potential change in administration. And if you wait until after the election, it probably is too late at that point to try and get something done.
Jennifer Clark:
Despite all the dislocation that we’re seeing across the bank market, one of the bright spots has actually been the government contracting space. We’ve executed a handful of deals since March in the government contracting space, and they’ve been well received by the market. First of all, there is a limited impact of COVID to many of the government contractors that we’ve worked with, as well as there’s also good revenue visibility. Furthermore, we’ve also seen strong cash flow generation in the space, and with the limited CAPEX and other calls on cash, it’s very easy for a lender to get comfortable with that profile.
Ruth Ann Clark:
On behalf of all my colleagues in the Private Bank, the Investment Bank and the Commercial Bank, we hope you found the comments and the interviews to be insightful and timely. Thank you very much.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENTS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.
Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward looking views in order to meet the portfolio’s investment objective.
As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.
While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.
The Six Circles Funds are U.S.-registered mutual funds managed by J.P. Morgan and sub-advised by third parties. Although considered internally managed strategies, JPMC does not retain a fee for fund management or other fund services.
