J.P. Morgan Private Bank Challenge 2022

Background:

J.P. Morgan Private Bank Challenge 2022 provides an opportunity for students to gain knowledge of how the Global Private Bank business works, get access to senior leaders and gain invaluable skills to prepare them for future opportunities at the firm. Through a hypothetical case study, students are able to find out what it takes to work as an Analyst in Global Private Bank.

During the competition, students in teams of four across different locations in Asia, including Singapore, Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan were required to submit the decks and recorded presentations in the First Round. Shortlisted teams presented online to the judging panel in the Second Round. Finalists from Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and China competed in the Final Round in April 2022 for the APAC Championship.

Students Sharing:

“Overall, the competition was so far the most insightful learning I have ever experienced. The on-the-job experience allowed me to gain knowledge about how the Global Private Bank business works. By solving the case study, the team and I gained practical experience in asset allocation, client management, and scenario analysis. More importantly, we developed a stronger bond through all the late-night meetings solving the case study and learned a lot from one another as we came from different academic backgrounds. Another highlight of the competition is the mentorship I received from J.P Morgan professionals, namely Karen Cai (Vice President) and Paulina Chui (Associate), that was arranged by the competition for all the second-round qualifiers. Through these mentorship sessions, we received very helpful feedback from the mentors, along with their support that boosted our confidence during the presentation. Apart from the mentors, the judges also gave constructive feedback to improve our performance in the future and further insights on private banking at the end of the final round presentation.”
