Important information regarding your account(s) ending in 1005
We would like to bring some important new rules to your attention that may
impact your participation
in a number of transactions.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has changed
the criteria for defining
those clients who are eligible to participate in certain trades, including
foreign exchange (FX) forwards,
FX swaps, FX options and certain other OTC derivatives.
Beginning January 16, 2012, clients must be "Eligible Contract
Participants" (ECPs) to conduct the
above-referenced transactions with J.P. Morgan. A summary of the main ECP
criteria is given below:
• An individual acting for his or her own account with investable assets of
more than $10 million.
• A corporation, partnership or other entity acting for its own account with
total assets of
more than $10 million or a personal entity with a net worth exceeding $1
million.
• An employee benefit plan, a government employee benefit plan, or a similar
foreign
plan subject to foreign regulation, each acting for its own account with
total assets exceeding
$5 million.
A more detailed description of the criteria is provided in the enclosed ECP
Certificate. Starting
January 16, 2012, we will need to have a signed Certificate on file for each
of your accounts.
• You should determine which, if any, of the ECP categories best describe
you, check the appropriate
box and return the Certificate in the business reply envelope provided.
• Based on the new regulations, you will need to provide this information
every year to confirm your
continued eligibility.
If you have any questions, or would like guidance regarding your particular
situation, please don't
hesitate to contact your J.P. Morgan representative. As always, thank you
for the trust and confidence
you have placed in J.P. Morgan.
