The wealth management arm is there to help them pay less taxes on their windfall and manage their fortune. That said, Morgan Stanley has drawn the line in the past at some offerings like health savings accounts. AdvertisementFor Finn, those offerings are a means to an end: converting as many of these clients as possible to become fee-paying wealth management clients. The revenue and margins of the workplace channel and E-Trade, which Morgan Stanley acquired for $13 billion in 2020, are "irrelevant," he said.

Loftier estimates, top-heavy earnings are reasons for worryFirms have a rather low bar to clear in the upcoming earnings season, as is often the case. The market's largest companies are disproportionately driving earnings growth in addition to stock returns, Goldman Sachs found. The Q1 earnings season begins in earnest on Friday as big banks share results. Early reporters have beaten earnings estimates by 13.5%, Golub wrote, which he added is more than double the typical rate.

The Morgan Stanley digital sign is seen at the company's Times Square headquarters in New York, U.S., on Friday, Jan. 12, 2016. Morgan Stanley promoted a tech executive in its wealth management division to become the bank's first head of firm-wide artificial intelligence, CNBC has learned. Last year, Morgan Stanley became the first major Wall Street firm to create a solution for employees based on OpenAI's GPT-4, a project overseen by McMillan. While Wall Street firms broadly pared back jobs last year, they competed to fill thousands of AI positions, poaching employees from one another.

Finn added that wealth management clients would soon have access to more customized and tax-efficient portfolios through Parametric, a direct indexing provider it acquired via Eaton Vance in 2021.

"The challenge with our model, historically, is we had a great wealth management firm if you wanted to work with a financial adviser," he said.

It is unusual for Wall Street CEO candidates to stay on if they are not selected, and the bonuses offered at Morgan Stanley break from that tradition.

People take photos by the Morgan Stanley building in Times Square in New York City, New York U.S., February 20, 2020. So the crushing conventionality of Morgan Stanley’s (MS.N)new chief executive selection, announced late on Wednesday, is almost certainly the point. The handover should be fairly civil, since the two CEO also-rans, wealth chief Andy Saperstein and investment management head Dan Simkowitz, both get promotions too. Andy Saperstein, previously seen as a contender for the CEO spot, will retain his leadership of Morgan Stanley’s wealth management business. He will also take on its investment management division, which manages and supervises $1.4 trillion of funds.

Wall Street’s real-life “Succession” has endedOne of Wall Street’s most closely watched succession races is over as Ted Pick prepares to become Morgan Stanley’s next chief executive. The path laid out by Gorman has made Morgan Stanley the envy of the financial world and helped it outpace its longtime rival, Goldman Sachs. Morgan Stanley’s board selected him over Andy Saperstein, who leads wealth management, and Dan Simkowitz, who oversees asset management. But Pick, a Morgan Stanley lifer who oversees investment banking and trading, is familiar with the most complex parts of the firm, making him in some ways the safest option. (Morgan Stanley is seeking to keep Saperstein and Simkowitz, making both co-presidents and giving them expanded portfolios.)
