J.P. Morgan Advisors Minimum Investment (2026): What It Takes to Open an Account

Guides › Financial Advisor Fees

Updated September 18, 2026. Quick answer: $10,000 for Portfolio Advisor (PA) and Portfolio Manager (PM). J.P. Morgan Advisors’ own Form ADV Part 2A brochure states this figure directly, though the firm can waive or reduce it at its own discretion. At that minimum, J.P. Morgan Advisors’ own published fee schedule works out to $200 a year.

The minimum, in the firm’s own words

“Certain Programs require the client to maintain a minimum amount of assets for opening an account in that Program. … The minimum account size typically required in the Programs are listed below. … (a) PA and PM $10,000”

On waivability: “JPMS may, in its discretion, waive or reduce the minimum account opening size for certain clients or accounts. If a Program account falls below the Program minimum, JPMS can terminate the Program account at its discretion.”

Methodology. This page was built September 18, 2026, quoting directly from J.P. Morgan Advisors’ own current Form ADV Part 2A / wrap-fee brochure, with the source linked above. The annual-fee-at-the-minimum figure applies that same brochure’s own published fee schedule to the disclosed minimum dollar amount; any distinction we could not independently confirm this session is named as an honest gap rather than presented as verified. Nothing here is personalized financial, tax, legal, or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for reading the firm’s own Form ADV Part 2A.
