The Wealth Management business unit comprises one of the world’s largest networks of Financial Advisors with offices across the United States, and the U.S. Banks division plays a key role in executing on the Wealth Management strategy.

The Morgan Stanley U.S. Banks continue to execute on a set of multi-year strategic priorities that are aligned with the broader Firm strategy, including evaluating opportunities to better serve our clients globally.
