JDX was formed in 2012 in the belief our clients need an intelligent, outcomes-focused, business partner committed to delivering exceptional client satisfaction. Today our strategy and culture remain true to that entrepreneurial spirit. Our purpose is to create opportunities for our clients, and our people, by providing high-value, hands-on integrated, strategic and practical consultancy services to the financial global markets.
Our desire to succeed is fuelled by the knowledge, energy, enthusiasm, and integrity of our staff and under-scored by a proactive equal opportunity approach. Focused recruitment, training and mentorship ensures that JDXers not only have the technical expertise our clients would expect from a global consultancy but great communication skills and the trade mark JDX ‘can do' attitude.
Our ability to resolve the most complex of strategic business challenges and also quickly provide skilled support for large-scale tactical operations enables us to serve the entire financial service ecosystem - from corporate and investment banks, to fund managers and insurers through to capital market intermediaries and the breakthrough fintechs.
