It is a major provider of financial services, and according to Forbes magazine is the world's third largest public company based on a composite ranking.[1] The hedge fund unit of JPMorgan Chase is the second largest hedge fund in the United States.[2] The company was formed in 2000, when Chase Manhattan Corporation merged with J.P.
