A significant shift is underway at JPMorgan Chase & Co., one of the world’s leading financial institutions. Andrew Carter, who spearheaded the firm’s private credit secondaries strategy, is leaving the company after approximately three years in the role, according to sources with knowledge of the matter.

Construction on the 60-story building is nearing completion, with a phased move-in beginning this month.
