Morgan Stanley - Dean Witter

Morgan Stanley is an investment banking and retail brokerage firm. Arising out of the enactment of the Glass-Steagall Act, Morgan Stanley separated from JP Morgan in 1935 and became its own investment banking firm. Dean Witter Reynolds was a brokerage firm that began in San Francisco in 1924 and catered to the middle class. In 1997, Morgan Stanley purchased Dean Witter and became Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. Out of a concern for branding, the firm returned to the original name of Morgan Stanley in 2001.

Headquartered in New York City, the main areas of business for Morgan Stanley today are global wealth management, institutional securities, and investment management. The company is a leading issuer of credit cards, particularly the Discover Card.

A securities brokerage firm licensed by FINRA, Morgan Stanley has a legal duty to supervise its brokers and its brokers' recommendations to clients to ensure compliance with and prevent violations of the rules of the security industry. When an individual broker is negligent or acts in an unlawful manner against the interests of the client and that client suffers damages as a result of such wrongdoing, the firm may be held liable for the investor's losses.
