NEW YORK -- JPMorgan Chase's (JPM) chief financial officer, Douglas Braunstein, is expected to step down over the next two quarters and is likely to move into a different job at the bank, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people close to the company.
Braunstein has been finance chief at JPMorgan, the largest U.S. bank by assets, since 2010.
Braunstein's status was diminished as part of an executive shake-up in July, the Journal noted.
