"We know that clients rely on digital resources to stay up to date, research products, and connect with their clients," Richard Chambers, managing director of marketing and strategy, said. "That means we have to increase our digital footprint and make sure our content is in places where they are gathering information, not just on our Web site."

J.P. Morgan Funds own Web site has also been enhanced to promote the firm's digital audio/video offerings. Individual investors and financial advisors visiting www.jpmorganfunds.com/jpmfpages/ondemand can now access J.P. Morgan Funds' complete library of rich media content, including podcasts and videos, all in one place on the site's new "J.P. Morgan On Demand" microsite, which was launched in September.
