Dimon heads into JPM annual meeting as losses loom
(Reuters) - Jamie Dimon faces a grilling from shareholders when JPMorgan Chase & Co convenes its annual meeting on Tuesday, just days after disclosing it lost billions of dollars in trading that was supposed to protect the mammoth bank from risk.
The meeting, at the bank's back-office complex in Tampa, Florida, will give investors their first crack at the CEO since he revealed on Thursday that a soured hedging strategy had cost at least $2 billion, and possibly much more.
The shake-up from those trades started Monday, as the company's chief investment officer retired.
Beyond electing directors, the day's agenda includes several shareholder proposals, including one for separating the roles of chairman and chief executive, both of which titles are held by Dimon.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), the largest pension fund in the United States, will lead calls to strip Dimon of the chairmanship in a move they say would likely lead to better risk controls.
"CalPERS believes if the chairman was independent the board may be able to exercise stronger oversight of management," the organization said in a note explaining its voting intentions ahead of the meeting.
The group, which owns around $565 million of JPMorgan stock, also said it would support executive compensation proposals but warned it would "closely review" the effects of the trading losses when analyzing the 2013 Say-on-Pay vote.
Other major pension funds in New York, California and Florida as well as the two leading proxy advisory firms - ISS and Glass, Lewis - are already backing the nonbinding proposal calling for a split of the jobs of chairman and CEO.
The California State Teachers Retirement System, the Florida State Board of Administration and the New York State Comptroller's office, which each oversee around $150 billion in assets, have said they will also vote for the split.
"Generally we support these kinds of proposals," said Ricardo Duran, information officer for CalSTRS. "We always look kindly on the separation of those two positions."
NOISY MEETING
JPMorgan likely will face a barrage of questions about what Dimon knew, when he knew it and how a bank that has boasted of its "fortress" balance sheet could make such a major mistake.
"It was going to be a noisy shareholder meeting anyway, but it's likely to be more boisterous than if it had been held before last Thursday," said Paul Hodgson, senior research associate of GMI Ratings.
The firm slapped its lowest rating - "F" - on JPMorgan's corporate governance policies before disclosure of the loss. Fewer than 5 percent of the companies rated by GMI get the bottom ranking, Hodgson said.
Many large shareholders wait until the last few days to vote, so the trading loss may influence some to withhold votes supporting management proposals or to actively support some shareholder resolutions.
Tim Piechowski, associate portfolio manager at ACR Alpine Capital Research, said the firm voted clients' shares in favor of the measure to split the chairman and CEO roles. But the decision was based on the firm's policy and was not related to the trading loss, Piechowski emailed.
JPMorgan argues in its proxy filing that the split is not necessary for Dimon. All other directors are independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and one is designated as a "presiding director."
William Frels, chief executive of investment advisory group Mairs & Power, said via email his firm is supporting management on all issues on the proxy. "The shares seem more like a 'buy' than a 'sell' from what we know about the loss so far," Frels said.
Though declines in JPMorgan shares following the announcement of the loss have wiped nearly $19 billion off the company's market value, many analysts and investors expect a rebound, rather than a prolonged slump.
Even if the losses double to $4 billion, that would only represent about 20 percent of the bank's 2011 profit.
"We're not looking at losses in a portfolio that could continue deteriorating because of systemic issues. We're dealing with a hedging strategy that didn't work," said Marty Mosby, an analyst at Guggenheim Securities who covers the company.

Wells Fargo annual meeting drawing protesters
By Rick Rothacker
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Activist groups say protesters plan to disrupt Wells Fargo & Co's
Demonstrators plan to march to the site of the meeting near the bank's headquarters in the financial district from a nearby park. Police were already a visible presence in the streets around the meeting site on Tuesday morning. The shareholders meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. PST (20:00 GMT)
"Banks are big and greedy," said Julia Cheng, one of the protesters. "They only care about themselves."
Demonstrators started gathering at the park on Tuesday morning, but it was not clear whether the event would draw as many protesters as organizers have said. There were more than 200 protesters carrying placards and supplies such as food and water. The peaceful gathering included Occupy Wall Street protesters from San Francisco and Oakland.
Looking to build on the energy of the Occupy movement, activist groups are targeting corporate stock holder meetings this spring to draw attention to economic disparity in the United States and to promote an assortment of other causes.
A group called 99% Power - a reference to those not among the top 1 percent of earners - has said it plans actions at 36 shareholder meetings, starting with Wells Fargo.
Wells Fargo has emerged as one of the healthier U.S. banks from the financial crisis and expanded across the United States after buying North Carolina-based Wachovia Corp in 2008.
The bank is the largest U.S. mortgage originator and servicer, making it a target for protesters who say lenders have treated struggling borrowers poorly. Wells was one of five big lenders to agree this year to a $25 billion national mortgage settlement over foreclosure abuses.
Wells Fargo spokesman Ancel Martinez said the bank works hard to keep homeowners in their homes and that fewer than 2 percent of its owner-occupied homes have gone into foreclosure over the past year.
At the shareholder meeting, stockholders will get a chance to ratify or reject the bank's executive compensation plan and vote on a proposal to split the chairman and CEO roles held by John Stumpf. Last week, shareholders delivered a rebuke to Citigroup Inc's
