Dimon Remains in Control at JPMorgan after Shareholders Reject Proposal to Divide Top Posts

Submitted by webadmin on

James Dimon tightened his grip on the nation's largest bank on Tuesday as shareholders of JPMorgan Chase & Co. overwhelmingly endorsed his dual role as chairman and chief executive, the Wall Street Journal reported today. A year after a multibillion-dollar trading fiasco tainted Dimon's reputation as Wall Street's best risk manager, just 32.2 percent of shareholders voted for a resolution to split the two positions. That was well below the 40.1 percent who voted to do so a year ago.
