JP Morgan Australia profit falls

18 September 2008 4:23PM
Investment bank JP Morgan gave some insight into just how tough conditions over the past six months have been when it filed an interim financial statement for a company called JP Morgan Australia with the Australian Securities Exchange last week.JP Morgan Australia reported a net profit of $7.4 million for the six months to June, down from $81.8 million for the six months to June last year. Revenue fell from $171.1 million to $106 million over the same period.A spokesman for JP Morgan said the reporting entity provided only a partial view of the group's Australian activities.
