(JPM)<\/a>. Federal regulators alleged that the bank didn\u2019t tell wealth management clients about conflicts of interests that may have affected how the financial institution managed their money between 2008 and 2013. The two JPMorgan units involved were its nationally chartered bank and its securities subsidy.<\/p>\n<p>JPMorgan, which is the biggest bank in the US according to assets, neglected to tell customers that it made money when it placed their money in hedge funds and mutual funds that earned the firm fees. Both high net worth customers and retail mutual fund customers were purportedly affected.<\/p>\n<p>The bank was also accused of not telling investors that it\u2019s wealth business preferenced its own proprietary products over others\u2019 products when deciding where to invest clients \u2018funds. JPMorgan was accused of violating its fiduciary duty when it failed to notify customers that more costly share classes of proprietary mutual funds were chosen for them. Although JPMorgan acknowledged its failure to properly disclose the information, the bank maintained that such omissions were not done on purpose, and it has since remedied the matter.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investorlawyers.com\/blog\/cftc-pay-30m-whistleblower-367m-asset-management-settlement-jpmorgan\/#more-2089\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Commodity Futures Trading Commission will pay $30M to one whistleblower who provided information that brought about the $367M asset management settlement in a case against JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.
