Last week, in its securities filing, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said a “substantial majority” of investors wanted him to stay on as non-executive chair when he steps down as chief executive.

If he does stick around, it will mark the first time JPMorgan will split the roles of chair and CEO since 2006, when Dimon added the role of chairing the board of directors to the responsibilities he assumed upon being made the bank’s top executive a year earlier, writes Financial Times.
