<b><u>Transcript:</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>CNBC: Hi Sue. You know its been a volatile week in commodities and this sector is often extremely volatile. It really underscores the essential need to better educate students about all facets of this sector. I'm joined now by Blthye Masters who is the Head of Global Commodities at JPMorgan. JPMorgan today just made a 5.5 million dollar gift to create this comprehensive center for commodities here at the University of Colorado, Denver. It is the largest gift that the school has ever received. And Blythe, why is JP Morgan making such an important investment at this time?
</b><br />
<br />
<b>Blythe Masters</b>: Thanks Sharon. The answer is that commodities are increasingly at the center of the public eye. Their influence on growth, on economies, on disposable income is something we all individually feel everyday. And of course corporations and governments feel it too. And the challenge is to ensure we have the right talent in this particular area so that public understanding and policy decisions as well as the operations of companies can be successful. So the decision to fund the commodities center here at C.U. Denver was really driven by the belief that we need to increase and expand talent in the commodity markets because commodities play such an important role in economic growth.
<br />
<br />
<b>CNBC: And JPMorgan has been investing heavily in commodities for some time, definitely under your leadership. We've seen - as Sue mentioned - a tripling of your revenues in 2011 topping $2.8 billion. Tremendous growth many see it as part of your vision, your strategy for the reason that that is happened. Is that really sustainable?
</b><br />
<br />
<b>Blythe Masters</b>: Well, we've been investing in the commodities business and its important to realize that our commodities business is not about betting on commodity prices. It's about assisting clients in executing, managing their risks and ensuring access to capital so they can make the kind of large long-term investments that are needed in the long run to expand the supply of commodities. And that is an area which we anticipate will continue to grow very, very rapidly over the next couple of decades in fact. So, yes, we are very excited about the prospects for growth in this particular area.
<br />
<br />
<b>CNBC: And you're looking at growth not only in agriculture and in metals and in oil, but across the board in all facets. That's what you're investing in. A lot of concern has been placed though about JPMorgan particularly its positions in the metals space. And looking at your positions in silver, we talked earlier about the volatility in the silver market. Can you talk about JPMorgan's positions and price volatility and how are they related?
</b><br />
<br />
<b>Blythe Masters</b>: Yeah. that's a great question. And you're right, there's been a tremendous amount of speculation particularly in the blogosphere about this topic. I think the challenge is that that speculation represents a misunderstanding as to the nature of our business. As I mentioned earlier, our business is a client-driven business where we execute on behalf of clients to achieve their financial and risk management objectives. The challenge is that commentators don't see all of that activity simultaneously. So, just to give you a specific example, we store significant amounts of commodities - for example, silver - on behalf of customers. We operate vaults in New York City, in Singapore and in London. And often when customers have that metal stored in our facilities, they hedge it on a forward basis through JPMorgan who in turn hedges itself in the commodity markets. If you see only the hedges and our activity in the futures market, but you aren't aware of the underlying client position that we're hedging, then it would suggest inaccurately that we're running a large directional position. In fact that's not the case at all. We have offsetting positions. We have no stake in whether prices rise or decline. Rather we're running a flat, or a relatively match book.
<br />
<br />
<b>CNBC: So it's not - because what is commonly out there is that JPMorgan is manipulating the metals market. From what you're outlining that is not possible because of the different sides of the business that you're in part of.
</b><br />
<br />
<b>Blythe Masters</b>: That's right. it's not part of our business model. It would be wrong and we don't do it.
<br />
<br />
<b>CNBC: You've had such a long history at JPMorgan in the derivatives market now heading commodities. One of the other things that is really struggling for many traders is trying to figure out what regulation is going to look like and how that's going to impact their business. What is your view and how concerned are you about regulations that are coming down for the OTC derivatives market and for commodities?
</b><br />
<br />
<b>Blythe Masters</b>: Again, another great question. I think I want to say first that JPMorgan strongly supports the need for improved regulation in financial markets and financial institutions broadly. The key is to ensure that that regulation is good regulation. And with this type of topic, the devil is almost always in the details. So in the interest of greater transparency, less systemic risk in the system, less connectivity between major players, all of those things we feel great strides have been made in advancing regulation to promote those objectives. having said that, we have to be aware of unintended consequences. and there's a real risk of those unintended consequences. for example, if you make it difficult for institutions to transact in commodity markets by excessively exposing their options to the public too quickly, that would drain liquidity and make it harder.
<br />
<br />
<b>CNBC: So there is a concern about liquidity longer term?
</b><br />
<br />
<b>Blythe Masters</b>: Yes.
<br />
<br />
<b>CNBC: I want to thank you so much for joining us here. Blythe Masters, thank you for your perspective on the commodities sector.

She stated that the purchase "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;">was based on its large pre-2012 portfolio of carbon offsets (estimated in August at around 100 million tonnes), its post-2012 portfolio (around 125 million) and any upside associated with a surge in carbon prices." </span> </span><br />

<blockquote>Masters said the acquisition would help JP Morgan clients better manage risks in fluctuating commodity prices. </blockquote><blockquote>"The reason for our expanding in the carbon space is consistent with our overall thesis that commodity markets as a whole will continue to be extremely active and volatile ... as a function of economic activity and other policies," she said. </blockquote><blockquote>"Carbon is just a part (of JP Morgan's business model), and an important component because of its linkages to the rest of the energy complex and to various regulatory changes going on." </blockquote><blockquote>Masters said a new EcoSecurities CEO will be named soon, "and from there we will review the overall structure of the company to make sure we don't have any overlapping activities that are confusing to clients".</blockquote>Read the full <b><a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/2009/11/03/idINIndia-43643720091103">Blythe Masters EcoSecurities article</a></b> here.Blythe Mastershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03355664846679594095noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377898994542299038.post-9632675926379562262011-08-11T07:26:00.000-07:002011-08-11T08:09:27.194-07:00Harvard Business School's Women's Association of Greater New York<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYoY0PpeSs0Q6N2yQu6QDF9mpmZBovfEevr5leQaa_r3L0uCjKgnCfJ5SGLpuLAUFnz_FHnCohzVKvtexjaqfmtjG1DF2GjKIUHW_8h5pwIoxgINW-aPGenWnQ10ASE2KaLgT9py3BY1w/s1600/blythemasters-harvard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYoY0PpeSs0Q6N2yQu6QDF9mpmZBovfEevr5leQaa_r3L0uCjKgnCfJ5SGLpuLAUFnz_FHnCohzVKvtexjaqfmtjG1DF2GjKIUHW_8h5pwIoxgINW-aPGenWnQ10ASE2KaLgT9py3BY1w/s1600/blythemasters-harvard.jpg" /></a></div><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><b>Blythe Masters</b> has participated in events hosted by the <b>Harvard Business School's Women's Association of Greater New York</b>, most notably a seminar entitled </span></span><span class="article-top">'<a href="http://www.hbswany.org/article.html?aid=129"><i><b>What Does it Take to Make it?: A Discussion with JPMorgan's Women Leaders</b></i></a></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">'.

<br />
The chief financial officer of JP Morgan, who credits much of her success to luck and attitude, spoke with about 60 students yesterday.<br />
<br />
"You can't underestimate the power of luck," Masters said. "But luck is something people can help manufacture for themselves."<br />
<br />
Masters acquired her first "grown-up job" as an intern with JP Morgan in London after she graduated from high school. English students often defer college for a year, and Masters said that she was penniless at the time and figured that the internship was a way to finance a trip she had wanted to take to Latin America.<br />
<br />
Through this experience, she said that she "fell in love with derivatives as a concept" and has continued to work with them for most of her career.<br />
<br />
Derivatives are used by companies to decrease risk in their investments.<br />
<br />
"It's important to maintain passion and energy in what you do. Don't give up till you find that thing you're passionate about," she said. "For me, that thing was derivatives."<br />
<br />
Masters' move from London to New York City in order to pursue her career was a "big, unanticipated change" at the time, she said, owing to her status as a divorced mother with a young daughter.<br />
<br />
She didn't let that stop her as she worked her way up the corporate ladder on Wall Street with the help of many mentors.<br />
<br />
Masters credited her opinionated and aggressive nature for her success.<br />
<br />
"You're responsible for making yourself noticed," Masters said. "You need to habitually be engaged, doing your homework and standing up for yourself."<br />
<br />
Dennis Yu, a senior in Wharton and the College, said that he has heard Masters speak before and considers her a dynamic orator. Yu, who is currently considering a full-time job offer from JP Morgan, felt that Masters' story was inspiring.<br />
<br />
Wharton junior Ayeesha Sachedina was one of the organizers of this event.<br />
<br />
"I'm glad [Masters] was honest," Sachedina said. "These events are not for recruiting but more about what [these leaders] learned through their careers."<br />
<br />
The event was part of the Musser-Schoemaker Leadership Lecture Series, which brings in leaders from both the public and private sectors to share their secrets to success." <br />
<br />
The Wharton School of Business was the world's first collegiate business school, established in 188. It is the largest and one of the most published business school faculty, with 250+ standing and associate members - one of if not the top business school in the country.Blythe Mastershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03355664846679594095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377898994542299038.post-79326417120627627912011-08-01T16:20:00.000-07:002011-08-01T16:20:50.878-07:00SIFMA: Blythe Masters, Chair Emeritus<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<br />
In 1971, IBA merged with the <b>Association of American Stock Exchange Firms</b> (ASEF) to form the <b>Securities Industry Association</b> (SIA) and unify the voices of the related interests. Following the merger, the<b> Public Securities Association</b> (PSA), comprised of IBA’s<b> Municipal Securities and Government Bonds Committees</b> (est. 1918), incorporated as an independent organization representing securities firms and banks in the municipal, Treasury and federal agency securities markets. The name of the PSA was changed to <b>The Bond Markets Association</b> (TBMA) in 1997.<br />
<br />
In 2006, the SIA and TBMA merged, bringing together the shared interests of their memberships. By representing the many segments of the financial industry, SIFMA has become the voice of the financial industry that is uniquely suited to provide trusted and expert information to policymakers, regulators, media, industry participants and the general public about the financial industry.<br />
