About Morgan Stanley

Technology has the power to enrich lives. The power to transform how we live and work. But as technology becomes more deeply integrated into life, security must be more deeply integrated into technology.

Morgan Stanley spun off from JP Morgan in 1935 as a result of the Glass-Steagall act requiring banks to separate their commercial and investment banking businesses
And since the spin-off, we have led the industry through a number of milestones:

- In 1971, Morgan Stanley was the first investment bank to create a dedicated M&A division, started by Robert Greenhill
  - AOL Time Warner Largest Merger Ever (182Bn)
  - Vodafone Mannesmann Largest Takeover Ever (203Bn)
  - Apple IPO in 1980, which valued the company at approximately $1Bn at the time. Today, the market cap is close to $600Bn
Today we have the largest Global Wealth Management business, with over USD 2 Trillion in client assets
Today, with over 55K employees, Morgan Stanley has a unique combination of both agility and stability. We are at the forefront our industry in innovation and leadership, doing business in a first class manner.
