Global Shares (J.P. Morgan Workplace Solutions)

Overview

Global Shares is a cloud-based share plan management software provider headquartered in Cork, Ireland, which J.P. Morgan acquired in a deal completed on 11 August 2022. At completion it reported more than 600 employees in 20 locations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, North America and Asia Pacific, about 650 corporate clients, more than 800,000 employee participants and nearly US$200 billion in assets under administration. J.P. Morgan described the business as a provider of employee ownership solutions to private and public companies globally^[24].

Like Shareworks, Global Shares sits at the large-company end of the market. Its value lies in combining plan administration with a bank’s custody, brokerage and treasury services, so that employees can sell or hold shares through the same group after a listing. That makes it relevant to private companies with a large international workforce and to companies preparing for an IPO, and less relevant to seed-stage start-ups.

Global Shares’ own product pages returned an access error during this review, so features and pricing could not be verified beyond the completion release, and pricing is given as quote-based.
