JPMorgan profit falls

J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.'s fourth-quarter earnings dropped to $5.28 billion, or $1.30 a share, versus a profit of $5.69 billion, or $1.39 a share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. However the adjusted quarterly profit results were better-than-expected. JP Morgan, the largest bank by assets, saw weak results from its investment-banking unit slumped 57% to $858 million as the unit was hit by a $1.5 billion loss from a funding valuation adjustment for over-the-counter derivatives and structured notes.
