JPMorgan named Best Derivatives and Credit Derivatives House over the past twenty years by Risk Magazine

Jul 10, 2007

JPMorgan was named "Derivatives House 1987-2007" and "Credit Derivatives House - Pioneer and Modern Great " by Risk magazine at its Risk 20 Awards that were recently held at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

Risk conceived of the idea of the Risk 20 Awards on the occasion of the magazine’s 20th anniversary to acknowledge those institutions that have driven development of the derivatives market over the past two decades.

In giving this award to the firm, Risk said: "JPMorgan has spent much of the past two decades setting the pace for the derivatives market. From intellectual developments such as RiskMetrics to its role in the development of the credit derivatives market, the bank has carved out a reputation for innovation and is one of the few firms that can boast muscle across all the major asset classes."

A Risk editorial committee selected the winners using a cumulative survey of awards, polls, third-party research and Risk articles over the past 20 years. Risk is regarded as a benchmark publication for the global derivatives industry.
