J.P. Morgan to invest $10 billion to strengthen U.S. economic security

The American bank is focusing on strategic sectors like energy, defense, advanced technologies, and supply chains, as part of a $1.5 trillion plan to boost national resilience.

JP Morgan has announced a major $10 billion investment plan aimed at supporting the growth and innovation of key companies—primarily U.S.-based—that are considered strategic for the country’s economic security.

The initiative is part of a broader $1.5 trillion "Security and Resiliency Initiative", designed to enhance national resilience and protect industries deemed critical to the economy and national security.

The bank will focus its direct and venture capital investments on four main areas: Supply chain and advanced manufacturing, including critical minerals, pharmaceutical precursors, and robotics; Defense and aerospace; Energy, with a focus on independence and sustainability; Strategic and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and quantum computing.

“It has become painfully clear that the United States has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources for critical minerals, products, and manufacturing—essential elements of our national security,” said Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JP Morgan. “Our security depends on the strength and resilience of the American economy. America needs greater speed and investment, and it must also remove the barriers standing in the way—excessive regulation, bureaucratic delays, political gridlock, and an education system not aligned with the skills we need.”

In addition to the $10 billion allocated for direct investments, the bank has already committed $1 trillion in financing over the next 10 years to support clients operating in these strategic sectors—and plans to raise that amount by another $500 billion.

With this move, JP Morgan is positioning itself not just as a financial leader, but as a key driver of growth and innovation in America’s strategic industries.
