JPMAM joins forces with WaterAid for ISA season

J.P. Morgan Asset Management has announced that it will be extending its partnership with WaterAid, donating money to the charity for every J.P. Morgan Individual Savings Account (ISA) opened between the end of January and the end of April 2013. The ‘ISA season' tends to be the busiest time of year for account opening, and J.P. Morgan Asset Management will donate £15 for ISAs opened directly with J.P. Morgan by phone, post or online. In addition, J.P. Morgan is donating £40 for every brand new account opened through the WaterAid website.

The money raised through the J.P. Morgan Asset Management ISA partnership will go toward projects such as training community members to maintain their village water supplies, or paying for a school sanitation block.

A donation of £15 - the amount J.P. Morgan Asset Management will give for ISAs opened through its own website, by post or by telephone - can enable WaterAid to give one person access to safe, clean drinking water.

Keith Evins, Head of UK Funds Marketing at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, commented: "WaterAid is a great charity, working for a very worthy cause. Through this initiative we are giving people a chance to look after their own financial future while at the same them helping those less fortunate than them. We look forward to working with WaterAid to make this campaign a great success."

Marcus Missen, Director of Communications and Fundraising at WaterAid, added: "We are delighted that J.P. Morgan Asset Management is continuing to support WaterAid through this partnership. Thanks to their generosity we can continue to help transform the lives of the world's poorest communities by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation - helping them invest in a better future."
