Dimon believes he can maintain return on equity

JP Morgan chief executive says he believes the US bank can still hit last year’s 17% RoE – one month after his bank's own analysts predicted rival firms will suffer due to uncertainty and new regulations

Jamie Dimon, chairman and chief executive of JP Morgan Chase, still believes the investment bank can make a 17% return on equity, despite facing new regulations and increased capital requirements.

Jason Goldberg, an analyst at Barclays Capital, said in a report this week that he had recently met the chief executive and that Dimon thought the investment bank could still maintain a return on equity of 17%, the same as in 2010 and 2011, despite the uncertainty over the new regulations such as Basel III and the Dodd-Frank act.
