JPMorgan Launches 10-Year, $1.5 Trillion Push to Finance U.S. Security Sectors

The move aligns with U.S. efforts to bolster supply chains in light of trade frictions with China.

Overview

  • The Security and Resiliency Initiative will facilitate up to $1.5 trillion in financing and deploy up to $10 billion in direct equity and venture investments over the next decade.
  • Target areas span supply chain and advanced manufacturing, defense and aerospace, energy technologies including batteries and the grid, and frontier technologies such as AI, cybersecurity and quantum.
  • JPMorgan will hire additional bankers, form an external advisory council, and expand research on vulnerabilities and emerging tech through its Center for Geopolitics.
  • The bank frames the effort as reducing reliance on unreliable sources of critical materials as trade tensions escalate following new U.S. tariff moves and Chinese rare earth export restrictions.
  • The plan expands a prior $1 trillion internal target by 50% and builds on work with Washington, including the MP Materials rare earths deal, with investments planned across 27 sub-sectors and company sizes.
