About Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley is a massive global financial services firm, with offices in 42 countries and more than 82,000 employees as of year-end 2025. While the firm's history is deeply rooted in investment banking and institutional trading, where it maintains a strong presence today, Morgan Stanley now generates the lion share of its income from wealth and asset management franchises, across which it boasted $9.3 trillion in client assets at the end of 2025. After reincorporation as a bank holding company in the wake of the global financial crisis, Morgan Stanley also boasts a top 10 banking franchise by deposits, with more than $400 billion in customer deposits, predominately attributable to cash sweeps from its wealth management and brokerage businesses.
