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. The firm cut its teeth in investment banking and institutional trading, where it maintains a strong presence today, but generates the lion share of its income from wealth and asset management franchises, where it boasted $9.3 trillion in client assets at the end of its most recent fiscal year. 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.www.morganstanley.com

Alex EdmansGUEST
This is something that I started about, again, 20 years ago during my PhD, but it is something I'm working on an ongoing basis.
Alex EdmansGUEST
Again, during the PhD, I wanted to look at what drives long-term returns.
Alex EdmansGUEST
And while colleagues would be looking at the tangible stuff, I had been at Morgan Stanley and seen that human capital really matters.
Alex EdmansGUEST
And it matters-
Louise MoonCORRESPONDENT
Um, analysts saying that the results are much stronger than expected.
Louise MoonCORRESPONDENT
Morgan Stanley in particular saying, um, they, they think that's driven more by strategy than by pricing, um, and they've increased their price target as a, as a result.
Louise MoonCORRESPONDENT

Joe BarattaGUEST
I was with our summer interns and we were talking about AI and what it means for them.
Joe BarattaGUEST
And I said, you know, 35 years ago, I was an analyst at Morgan Stanley and My job then looks very different than your job now, but there are far more analysts at Morgan Stanley and far more analysts at Blackstone.
Joe BarattaGUEST
It's just that between midnight and 3 a.m. when I was literally photocopying
Christine AndersonHOST
pages and punching holes,

I was a marketing major.
Eric KoesterGUEST
I'm going to go and work for Morgan Stanley, biggest finance firm in the world.

Cal FussmanHOST
But you end up writing a book about super mentors.

Yep.
Cal FussmanHOST
Because number one, it was obvious to me that when you're in that situation at Morgan Stanley, there was nobody mentoring you.
Eric KoesterGUEST
No,
Emily PeckHOST
That's fascinating.
Emily PeckHOST
As I was coming to tape our interview, there was a note, I think from Morgan Stanley, saying one of the biggest challenges to just even powering data centers in the coming year or two is opposition from people.
Emily PeckHOST
It's not capacity or the energy market.
Emily PeckHOST
It's just literally people.
Greyson GeilerGUEST
So from that perspective, it's back and everybody needs to own some.
Greyson GeilerGUEST
I mean, even Morgan Stanley, a typical allocation for retirees is 60 percent stocks, 20 percent bonds rather than historically 40 percent bonds and 20 percent gold.

BobHOST
Many individual investors don't want to take the rate risk of long-term munis at a time of concerns about intractable federal budget deficits, stubborn inflation of about 3%, and rising prices for oil and other commodities.
BobHOST
Such buyers favor intermediate maturities under 10 years, including ones held in SMAs or laddered portfolios that are offered by Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, PIMCO, and other firms.
BobHOST
Long-term munis do have an often overlooked negative.
BobHOST
They generally can be redeemed in 10 years, giving them the upside of a 10-year bond and the greater downside of a 30-year.
