Streamlined Trade Ticket: Trade faster and more efficiently with fewer steps and a quick view of yields. Investors can also see the smallest and largest number of bonds they can buy at a specific price. Contextual guides are especially helpful for those new to fixed income.
'Fixed income investments are a key part of a diversified portfolio, helping to balance stock market volatility and providing consistent income through regular interest payments,' said Paul Vienick, Head of Online Investing at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management. 'We have built an easy-to-navigate experience for fixed income that will feel familiar to stock investors. But what really sets us apart is that we are offering it both on desktop and on the Chase mobile app.'
