JPMorgan Boosts PE Advisory with Morgan Stanley Hire

Bloomberg Markets •

JPMorgan Chase & Co. added Will Boyle from Morgan Stanley to spearhead its private‑equity secondaries team, signaling a push to expand capital‑advisory services for sponsors.

Boyle, known for structuring complex private deals, brings deep experience that JPMorgan believes will strengthen its foothold in the growing secondary market. The move follows a broader trend of banks courting senior dealmakers to capture a larger share of sponsor advisory fees.

The appointment underscores JPMorgan’s intent to compete more aggressively with rivals like Goldman Sachs and Bank of America, which have recently bolstered their own PE advisory desks. By anchoring the team with a seasoned expert, the bank aims to attract larger transaction volumes and higher fee streams.

JPMorgan’s strategy signals a shift toward higher‑margin advisory work, positioning the firm to benefit from the continued rise in secondary market activity and the increasing demand for sophisticated deal structuring.
