JPMorganChase says it has put $5 billion to work in its security initiative’s first year

JPMorganChase has committed $5 billion in equity investments and financed and facilitated more than $230 billion in transactions in the first year of its Security and Resiliency Initiative, the bank said in an Oct. 19 announcement.

The bank launched the $1.5 trillion initiative a year ago to back industries tied to national security and economic resilience.

Equity

The $5 billion comes from the bank's Strategic Investment Group, led by Todd Combs. It is half of the initiative's initial $10 billion equity allocation, according to the release. The group invests in venture, growth and later-stage companies.

Recent investments support defense technology, distributed battery storage, automated manufacturing and frontier technologies, the bank said.

Financing

The more than $230 billion in financing covers the initiative's five focus areas: supply chain and advanced manufacturing; defense and aerospace; energy independence and resilience; frontier and strategic technologies; and pharma and healthtech.

"Strong economies and national security don't happen by accident," Chairman and Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said in the release.
