JPMorgan, Schwab and UBS manage millions in Trump’s $858 million investment portfolio
CNBC said the firms handled more than 21,000 trades and at least $858 million in assets across Trump’s eight accounts.

Schwab stands out as most deeply involved, managing Account No. 7, which held about $302 million and generated roughly 10,500 transactions. Records show trading activity continued at JPMorgan throughout the period Trump publicly accused the bank of placing him on a banking "blacklist."
Former FDIC banking regulator Ross Delston called Trump an "ultra-high-risk client," noting banks value the "priceless" access to the president. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly countered, "There are no conflicts of interest," regarding the banking arrangements.
