It's definitely marketing but it's also a collected and analysed aggregation of real data. I read part of the last page as well, and there was an absolutely delightful sentence. To paraphrase:
"This document is an analysis by person X, based on his opinion. That opinion may change at any time."
That's a lovely, if corporatey way of paraphrasing the well-known quip "When facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?"
There's no doubt the document was prepared in a huge rush. Like any large bank, JPM would have had to get it out well before end of business on Friday. Wouldn't be surprised if they had to get it out before lunch! But that rush also means there would have had been far less time to polish it up, and indeed, the author points out that at least some of the industry figures were lifted as-is from an earlier report they had produced.
