JPMorgan Chase vs Capital One

JPM logoJPMJPMorgan Chase & Co.vsCOF logoCOFCapital One Financial Corporation
The short answer
  • JPMorgan Chase: Largest US bank. Diversified - consumer banking, investment banking, asset management.
  • Capital One: A major US credit-card lender and bank, best known for its consumer cards. After buying Discover it now runs its own card network too, putting it closer to Visa and Mastercard.
  • Over the past five years JPMorgan Chase stock returned +166% versus +47% for Capital One, in USD. Past performance is not a guide to the future.
  • They compete in the same space (Finance & banks), so many investors simply own both through a broad index fund instead of picking a winner.

Frequently asked questions

Which performed better, JPMorgan Chase or Capital One?

Over the past five years JPMorgan Chase stock returned +166% and Capital One returned +47% in US dollars, so JPMorgan Chase has been the stronger performer in that window. Past performance says little about the future, which is why the chart on this page lets you check other periods too.

Can I buy both JPMorgan Chase and Capital One shares?

Yes. Nothing stops you owning both companies, and many investors do exactly that instead of trying to pick the winner. Both are available to investors worldwide through a broker such as Interactive Brokers.

Is it safer to buy an ETF instead?

A broad index fund holds hundreds of companies at once, usually including both of these, so a single bad year at one business barely dents it. Owning individual shares concentrates that risk, which is why many beginners keep single stocks to a small slice of a mostly fund-based portfolio.
