JPMorgan Chase & Co. is building a group to provide more financing and advice for development in emerging markets, looking to use profit-making operations to support efforts by the international community.

The lender hired Faheen Allibhoy, who spent almost two decades at the International Finance Corp., to run the new development finance institution, according to a statement Tuesday. She will work with JPMorgan’s bankers to identify transactions and investors.
