Comprehensive competitive analysis of J.P. Morgan Chase's wealth management and digital banking positioning — with strategic recommendations for emerging market expansion.
As an MBA capstone, I was tasked with producing a strategic recommendation for J.P. Morgan Chase — benchmarking it against Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citi to identify where the bank was leaving growth on the table.
Applied SWOT, QSPM, and competitive positioning matrices across four major banks. Analysed digital adoption curves, fee structures, and emerging market penetration rates to surface asymmetric opportunities.
Chose emerging market expansion over domestic fee optimisation — higher risk, but 3× the TAM headroom. Proposed a $1.5B 3-year investment roadmap with phased market entry and clear go/no-go criteria.
Project ranked top of cohort. Key learning: frameworks don't make decisions — they surface assumptions. The real work was stress-testing every assumption with a contrarian lens before committing to the recommendation.
Competitive benchmarking of JPMC's wealth management platform against Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citi — with focus on digital banking services in emerging markets.
