Most investors concerned about a recession, but it isn’t impacting financial decisions
Black, Hispanic and Latina women have gained confidence in their investing knowledge in recent years and are investing to build generational wealth, according to new research from J.P. Morgan Wealth Management. J.P. Morgan surveyed 1,000 investors to uncover investing trends within Black, Hispanic and Latino communities.
“Everyone should be building their wealth and J.P. Morgan is deeply committed to better serving all investors at every stage. Understanding the different needs, attitudes and priorities of every group is a key part of this work. We believe the most important thing is to outline your goals and get on a plan to achieve them,” said Kristin Lemkau, CEO of J.P. Morgan Wealth Management.

“Our business and economy are stronger when it is more inclusive,” said Thelma Ferguson, Global Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and Vice Chair of Commercial Banking at JPMorgan Chase. “Understanding the trends and habits of those communities that for so long have been excluded is an important step in making progress towards closing the opportunity and wealth gaps.”
