JP Morgan became the first big institution to warn of positions moving from the UK after the vote to leave the European Union, with a memo to staff saying "the location of some roles" may need to move "in the months ahead".

The JP Morgan memo said it may also need to make changes to its legal entity structure over the same timeframe. It was signed by chief executive Jamie Dimon with asset management chief Mary Erdoes and investment banking chief Daniel Pinto.
