Morgan Stanley overview
Through its subsidiaries and affiliates, Morgan Stanley provides institutional, government, and private clients with investment advice, origination, trading, and management services. Three business segments make up the company: Wealth Management, Investment Management, and Institutional Securities.
In the beginning, Morgan Stanley was founded by J.P. Morgan & Co. shareholders Harold Stanley, Henry Sturgis Morgan. The company was established on September 16, 1935, following the Glass-Steagall Act that separated investment banking from commercial banking. The company secured a market share of 24 percent (US$1.1 billion) in its first year of operation.
Morgan Stanley as we know it today is the result of the 1997 merger between the original Morgan Stanley and Dean Witter Discover & Co. Philip J. Purcell was appointed chief executive officer and chairman of the new Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Discover & Co. In 2001, the new firm returned to its original name of Morgan Stanley.
