JPMorgan Moves Over 30 China Quant Researchers to Singapore and Hong Kong

JPMorgan Chase has relocated over 30 quantitative researchers from its China operations in Beijing and Shanghai to Singapore and Hong Kong, according to sources familiar with the matter. Approximately 25 to 30 staff were moved to Singapore, while about six members of the bank's quantitative trading and research unit were transferred to Hong Kong. The move, reported by The Business Times on July 24, 2026, reflects a strategic shift in the US bank's regional talent deployment amid ongoing geopolitical and regulatory dynamics in China. The relocation underscores JPMorgan's efforts to consolidate its quantitative research capabilities in key Asian financial hubs outside mainland China.
