He will be based in São Paulo and report jointly to José Berenguer, Brazil Senior Country Officer of J.P. Morgan, and Chris Harvey, Head of Latin America Private Banking.
“Edinardo is a first-rate private banker and business leader, and we are thrilled that he is joining J.P. Morgan,” Mr. Berenguer said. “As we build upon our continued momentum in Brazil, we are fortunate to be able to draw on Edinardo’s deep understanding of the market, significant investment experience, and strong management skills.”
Mr. Figueiredo, 45, joins J.P. Morgan from UBS, where he was Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of its Brazil wealth management business.

“Brazil is a key market for J.P.
