Early origins
J.P. Morgan traces its heritage in the investment trust industry back to 1873, when Scottish financier and philanthropist Robert Fleming founded the asset management firm and merchant bank Robert Fleming & Co. Having identified an opportunity for UK investors to invest in the then-developing US railroad networks, Flemings went on to provide wealthy investors with diversified exposure to the growth industries of the day for more than 100 years, until the beginning of the 21st century.
The legacy continues
