Global mergers and acquisitions hit $2.6 trillion in the first seven months of the year, the highest since a 2021 pandemic-era peak, boosting investment banks' prospects.
The three - Howard Chen, Charlie Dupree and Fred Turpin - will join a senior team that provides strategic advice to some of JPMorgan's most important clients as the largest U.S. bank bolsters its investment banking division, a key driver of recent profits.
Chen, who joined JPMorgan in 2018, was most recently co-head of the North America financial institutions group, while Dupree served for the last seven years as vice chair of investment banking for M&A.
Turpin, most recently JPMorgan's global head of media & communications investment banking, has been with the bank 30 years, having worked on deals such as T-Mobile and Sprint and Warner Media and Discovery, among others.
