James Gorman

The influx during a challenging quarter displays how the wirehouse's three channels are starting to work together in tandem, CEO James Gorman says.

CEO James Gorman says the company has created something new by adding Solium and E-Trade to its existing force of financial advisors.

The spot as James Gorman’s top deputy had been vacant for two years since the exit of the firm’s colorful President Colm Kelleher.

“This looks like pockets of frothiness, some irrationality undoubtedly, some nonsense undoubtedly," said BlackRock Vice Chairman Philipp Hildebrand.

Morgan Stanley Chief Executive Officer James Gorman leaped past JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon as the best-paid CEO of a major U.S. bank.

Eaton Vance and E-Trade deals expected to boost the firm’s performance.

Regulatory shifts, M&A, new technology — there’s a lot on the horizon for the industry.

Renewed recruiting efforts and pumped-up tech are boosting headcount and fee-based assets.

Days after completing the purchase of E-Trade, CEO James Gorman’s second major transaction of the year aims to bulk up the firm’s asset management arm.

Wealth management profits fell, but a steep rise in transactional business offset some of the decline.

Fixed-income trading revenue almost tripled, driving a 73% jump in total trading that surged past expectations.

While small deals are likely, CEO James Gorman said he’d be reluctant to take on a large-scale acquisition

Clients are gravitating toward the “biggest, stable institutions,” says Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman.

It’s one of several ways that the firm is working to keep growth plans on track.

James Gorman is the first known case of a wirehouse executive contracting the virus.

The custodian’s Liberty platform and “intimate” service are now likely to rest in the hands of a wirehouse.

Many of the largest banks are wielding highly valued stock at a time that Silicon Valley innovators are looking to wrest away business. Mergers and acquisitions are one way for banks to both scale up and adapt.

Morgan Stanley’s merger a quarter century ago with a brokerage that had branches in Sears was met with sneers. Now, the firm is taking another stab at luring mom-and-pop investors.

Long associated with catering to the wealthiest clients, Morgan is also astute enough to see which way the winds are blowing for the industry.

The acquisition is the latest demonstration of firms merging banking, wealth management and digital services to meet clients' every financial need.
