A position of leadership

Since its foundation in 1935, Morgan Stanley has been at the forefront of innovations which helped to shape the course of modern finance. From historic underwritings for General Motors, IBM and the World Bank in the 1950s, to the Apple IPO in the 1980’s and Google in the new millennium, the firm has understood important trends and developed new markets. 

Today those include premier positions working with hedge funds (as the worldwide leader in prime brokerage), leadership positions in emerging markets, such as Russia, China, and the Middle East, and our acclaimed approach to commodities investing, including our presence in the physical commodities markets through oil tanker and power plant ownership.

Morgan Stanley’s pioneering role in the global expansion of the finance services industry, together with our geographic scope, deep understanding of markets and long experience meeting client needs have not only made us “World Wise,” but also give our recruits an unrivalled global platform for their careers.
