the 54-year-old, regarded as a key lieutenant of chief executive Jamie Dimon, has been running the chief investment office since February 2005. The bank uses the CIO to make broad bets to hedge its portfolios.

Ultimately, she is in charge of Bruno Michel Iksil, the London-based trader nicknamed the 'London Whale', whose trades are reported to be behind the loss.

Last year she received a cash bonus of $4.7m, a share award of $7.1m, options worth $1.5 million and a base salary of $750,000, according to regulatory filings by the bank.

Mr Dimon warned last night that the trading losses – racked up over the past six weeks – could get worse.
