Headquarters Morgan Stanley on Broadway, New York

about Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley was one of the four investment banks that for decades ruled on Wall Street (with Lehman, Merril Lynch, JPMorgan Chase). The corporation, founded by Henry S. Morgan (grandson of J.P. Morgan) and Harold Stanley, came into existence in 1935.

In 2008, the Federal Reserve allowed Morgan Stanley to change its status from investment bank to bank holding company. The main areas of business for the firm today are global wealth management (jointly with Citi under the name MorganStanleySmithBarney), institutional securities and investment management, with further business in carbon trading and corporate finance.
