New York, NY, December 20th, 2023 (TopGun Press)
Below are some of the most topical Financial Stocks on the BWI Shareholder Confidence Index based on our daily chats with global investors. Below is a link to excerpts on JP Morgan.
Bank of America Corporation: While investor Commitment to Own US Banks has declined over the past quarter, their Commitment to Own Bank of America has increased in 4Q. Investors rate their Transparency/Disclosure and Capital Allocation as one of the best in the space, and remain confident in the CEO and Senior Management team. Global Bank investors also rate Bank of America’s Price Appreciation Potential as the highest among the group so far in 4Q.
JP Morgan: Investors continue to rate JP Morgan among the very top names globally across all sectors that BWI tracks on its Shareholder Confidence Index. Their Strategy, Senior Management, Balance Sheet, Transparency/Disclosure and Board of Directors all stand as industry leaders according to investors in the BWI Panel. Investors attribute the strong franchise to CEO Jamie Dimon and the broader management team, who according to some investors have multiple CEO quality members on their team.

Marsh & McLennan Companies: Investor confidence in Marsh & McLennan remains strong among investors in the BWI Panel. Marsh & McLennan’s Strategy, Transparency, Long Term Growth and many other metrics are rated at the top or near the top of the Insurance sector by investors. New CEO, John Doyle, is scoring very highly a year into his tenure. Investors say he has been executing well and is a great communicator.
Trisura Group: Investors were critical of Trisura when they took a big write down in 4Q 2022, however investors now say Trisura is the Canadian Financial name with the highest Price Appreciation Potential going into 2024. With that said, Trisura has proven to be a controversial name among investors. Some investors lack confidence in their Capital Allocation and Transparency/Disclosure, while investors who are bullish see Trisura as a name that is trading cheap with solid growth prospects over the Short and Long Term. One panelist spoke for many by saying, “Trisura is past its blunder; it will probably improve going into 2024. However, there’s still a bit of uncertainty.”
