London - J.P. Morgan today announced it is the largest custodian and fund administrator in Luxembourg, according to Lipper’s 16th Annual Luxembourg Fund Encyclopaedia.

The Lipper figures confirm that J.P. Morgan has more than $468 billion of assets under custody and more than $388 billion under administration, representing an 18% and 14% market share respectively. During 2009, J.P. Morgan’s assets under custody grew by 34%, and its assets under administration grew by 29%, due to significant asset growth in addition to attracting new business.

The strong market growth experienced in 2009 is due to increased investor confidence in the Luxembourg UCITS brand and improved market confidence following the economic challenges of 2008.

Susan Ebenston, Global Fund Services Executive for J.P. Morgan, said: “The Luxembourg fund industry experienced a year of strong growth as revealed in Lipper’s Luxembourg survey. J.P. Morgan’s top position in 2009 reflects a year of increasing fund consolidation as well as successful business partnerships with many of the world’s leading fund managers.”
