Making it through 2022 and looking forward to 2023.
Each year we are faced with a unique set of opportunities and challenges, and 2022 was no different.
While markets and the broader geopolitical environment can prove to be volatile, we know that your long-term goals and aspirations are not.
Thank you for the trust and confidence you have put in us. We are honored to be your partner, and to stand by your side to help you achieve those goals — for your family, for your community, and for the causes you care about most.
Please know that the full resources of J.P. Morgan are always just a call away. We are ready to support you in any way we can and look forward to connecting soon.
I hope you enjoy the holiday season, and I wish you health and happiness in the new year.
Sincerely,
Dave
Hello. My name is David Frame. And I'm the CEO of the US Private Bank at JP Morgan. Every year has unique challenges. In 2020, we weathered a global pandemic and lockdown. In 2021, the economy slowly reopened, and we allowed ourselves to return to more normal patterns of life. And 2022 has brought a whole new set of headwinds, some we haven't seen in over 40 years.
Many clients have understandably been concerned. As inflation proved more resilient than anticipated and rose to levels we haven't seen for years, the Fed has aggressively raised rates to slow its progress. And with both stocks and bonds suffering significant losses, 2022 has delivered one of the worst years ever for balanced portfolios.
Adding to this difficult backdrop, the geopolitical situation has worsened. The invasion of Ukraine caused great human suffering and disrupted global markets for both energy and grain. It is in times like this when we rely on each other and on the relationships we've created over time. And we've been honored to stand by your side.
We aim to be your family's trusted advisor, bringing you the insights of global thought leaders and our own world-class specialists to help you find new opportunities and create lasting wealth for generations to come. We are members of your community, volunteering to help our neighbors. We have been there to help you work towards the goals you have for yourself, for the people you love, and for your community and causes you care about.
And while 2023 will undoubtedly bring new challenges, we feel better about where we are than we have in a long time. Equity valuations have dropped and bond yields have risen, creating some market dynamics we haven't seen in decades. And looking ahead, we are optimistic about asset class returns over the next decade. In fact, we haven't been this optimistic about the future for a long time.
So let's work together to make the best of 2023 and make sure you own that brighter future. So please allow me to thank you personally for your partnership and trust. We look forward to helping you and your family in the coming years.
