About Barbara Utay

As a Lending Specialist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank, I draw from my background in real estate lending to oversee the sophisticated requirements of a diverse array of clients with large and often illiquid balance sheets. I deliver the firm’s value proposition with intent and excellence, and help my clients explore ways to access liquidity through their assets. My grasp of the lending environment allows me to carefully evaluate a client’s financial picture—cash flow, risk tolerance, time horizon—and factor these inputs into my approach. By listening closely, I help unlock opportunities and determine the best strategy for each situation. I tap the capabilities of J.P. Morgan to find appropriate financing for sophisticated collateral that ranges from marketable securitized facilities to unsecured lines of credit, including commercial real estate, hedge funds, private equity, fine art, aircraft, yachts and more. I put my clients at ease by talking about their assets and liabilities in understandable terms.
