What is JPMorgan Personal Advisors?

JPMorgan Personal Advisors is a financial planning service from JPMorgan Chase that pairs clients with CFP-credentialed advisors for ongoing financial planning, investment management, and goal-setting. It uses a flat annual fee model (not AUM percentage), requires a $25,000 minimum, and invests in JPMorgan ETFs. It is separate from Chase Private Client ($150K minimum) and JPMorgan Private Bank ($10M minimum).

How much does JPMorgan Personal Advisors cost?

JPMorgan Personal Advisors charges a flat annual fee of $600 on portfolios under $25,000 (for qualifying existing Chase clients) and approximately 0.60% AUM on portfolios from $25,000 to $250,000. Above $250,000, the fee is approximately 0.50% AUM. However, JP Morgan's ETFs may carry additional expense ratios. Full fee disclosure is in the Form ADV, available at adviserinfo.sec.gov — always read the full fee schedule before signing up.

Is JPMorgan Personal Advisors a fiduciary?

JPMorgan Personal Advisors is registered as an investment advisor with the SEC and acts as a fiduciary for the advisory relationship. However, JPMorgan invests client assets in proprietary JPMorgan ETFs and Chase bank products, which is a conflict of interest that must be disclosed. The conflict does not disqualify the service, but clients should verify that the recommended ETFs are low-cost and competitive with alternatives like Vanguard or iShares.

How does JPMorgan Personal Advisors compare to Betterment?

Betterment charges 0.40% AUM for Premium (with CFP access, $100K minimum) vs. JPMorgan Personal Advisors at approximately 0.60% AUM with a $25,000 minimum. Betterment invests in third-party ETFs (Vanguard, iShares); JPMorgan uses its own ETFs. Both are fiduciaries. Betterment has a more established robo-advisor track record. JPMorgan's advantage is the Chase banking integration and brand recognition.

JPMorgan Personal Advisors Review 2026 — Flat Fee, CFP Access, $25K Minimum

JPMorgan Personal Advisors is a hybrid financial planning service: clients work with CFP-credentialed advisors to build a financial plan, and JPMorgan manages the investment portfolio on an ongoing basis using its own ETFs. The $25,000 minimum and flat-fee-like pricing place it between a robo-advisor and a traditional wealth manager.

Quick verdict: A reasonable option for Chase banking clients who want human CFP access without meeting Chase Private Client minimums. Independent investors should compare Betterment Premium, Vanguard Personal Advisor Services, and Facet Wealth before committing — all offer comparable or superior services.

Investment portfolio management in JPMorgan ETFs

The Proprietary ETF Issue

JPMorgan Personal Advisors invests exclusively in JPMorgan ETFs. This is a conflict of interest — JPMorgan earns management fees from the ETFs it recommends. The SEC requires this conflict to be disclosed in the Form ADV.

Is this a dealbreaker? Not necessarily. JPMorgan’s ETFs are reasonably competitive in cost. But you should:

Download the Form ADV from adviserinfo.sec.gov and review all disclosed conflicts
Compare the expense ratios of recommended JPMorgan ETFs to Vanguard or iShares equivalents
Verify the specific ETFs in your proposed portfolio before signing

Who Should Use JPMorgan Personal Advisors?

Best for: Chase banking customers who want human advisor access at a lower threshold than Chase Private Client, and who value the convenience of Chase ecosystem integration.
