Morgan Stanley is an American multinational investment bank and financial services firm headquartered in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It operates in 41 countries and employs over 75,000 people, serving a diverse clientele that includes corporations, governments, institutions, and individuals. In 2023, Morgan Stanley ranked 61st on the Fortune 500 list and 30th on Forbes' Global 2000.

Founded on September 16, 1935, by partners including Henry Sturgis Morgan and Harold Stanley, the firm emerged in response to the Glass–Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking. In its inaugural year, it captured a 24% market share in public offerings and private placements.

In 1997, Morgan Stanley merged with Dean Witter Discover & Co., with Dean Witter's CEO, Philip J. Purcell, leading the new entity. The firm reverted to the name "Morgan Stanley" in 2001. Today, it focuses on institutional securities, wealth management, and investment management, and is recognized as systemically important by the Financial Stability Board.
