Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) is a global financial services provider headquartered in New York City, New York, United States.

In its first year the company operated with a 24% market share (US$1.1 billion) in public offerings and private placements. The main areas of business for the firm today are Global Wealth Management, Institutional Securities and Investment Management.
