https://www.jpmorganchase.com

JPMorgan Chase & Co. Canadian Depositary Receipt is a financial instrument that provides Canadian investors with exposure to JPMorgan Chase & Co., one of the largest global financial institutions managing nearly $4 trillion in assets. This CDR represents a fractional ownership of the underlying U.S.-listed shares through a variable CDR ratio, enabling purchases in Canadian dollars on a Canadian exchange while incorporating a built-in notional currency hedge to mitigate USD/CAD exchange rate fluctuations. JPMorgan Chase & Co. operates across key segments including consumer and community banking, corporate and investment banking, commercial banking, and asset and wealth management, delivering services like lending, investment banking, risk management, and wealth solutions to consumers, businesses, institutions, and governments worldwide. Launched to facilitate access to high-value international stocks without direct foreign exchange involvement, the CDR retains proportional dividend rights paid in Canadian dollars and voting eligibility, trading similarly to domestic equities with no direct management fees, though it incurs costs up to 0.6% annually for the currency hedge. This structure enhances accessibility for retail investors seeking diversified exposure to diversified banking operations.
