JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon sees an end on the horizon. But not yet.

Designed by Norman Foster, the 1,388-metre tower’s elegant, comfort-filled interior belies the real work that still needs to be done; Dimon’s task has probably never been this challenging. It’s not just the war in the Middle East, or that the Trump administration is creating unprecedented uncertainty, or that the bank is facing a host of new competitors in payments, crypto, private equity, credit, and fintech. And it’s not just that many of JPMorgan’s rivals, even Citigroup and Wells Fargo, are doing well, or that AI is reorganizing the bank’s business, or that its exposure to private credit loans is worsening. That’s not even the point, yes, Dimon needs to name his successor at some point.
