WOW ! Solide prise de position de Warren Buffet en faveur du maintien de Jamie Dimon comme PCA et PCD de JPMorgan Chase, la plus grande banque américaine. L’article publié dans Bloomberg cette semaine, faisant état de la position de Buffet, montre que le fait de jouer les deux rôles, du moins aux É.U., n’est pas encore accepté comme une pratique exemplaire.
Qu’en pensez-vous ? Buffet peut certainement faire pencher la balance lors de l’assemblée des actionnaires du 21 mai…
Buffett Supports Dimon’s Dual Roles 100% at JPMorgan
Warren Buffett, who has said he personally owns shares of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), is backing the bank’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon as shareholders vote this month on whether to split his roles.

Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said in November that Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., would be the best candidate to lead the U.S. Treasury Department in a financial crisis.
“I’m 100 percent for Jamie,” Buffett told Bloomberg Television’s Betty Liu yesterday in Omaha, Nebraska. “I couldn’t think of a better chairman.”
Calls for Dimon, 57, to relinquish the chairmanship have mounted since New York-based JPMorgan disclosed risk-control lapses on derivatives bets last year that fueled more than $6.2 billion of losses. In March, the company’s board urged investors to vote against naming a separate chairman at the May 21 meeting, saying that Dimon’s dual role remains the “most effective leadership model.”
