Banks are facing mounting uncertainty as the commercial real estate (CRE) sector continues to struggle. Commercial real estate landscape Higher interest rates, tightening credit conditions and elevated office vacancies are weighing down the estimated $21 trillion commercial real estate sector . A lagging commercial real estate market can strain a bank's capital reserves while a stronger market can boost incomes from lending and fees. While there's reason for concern in the broader commercial real estate market, we see the most pronounced challenges unfolding in offices. CEO Charlie Scharf said the bank sustained "higher losses in commercial real estate, primarily in the office portfolio."

Gorman has transformed the Wall Street powerhouse into a more diversified firm that is less reliant on its traditional strengths -- trading and investment banking -- since taking the helm in 2010. He was also the key architect behind Morgan Stanley's purchase of Smith Barney, a brokerage and investment adviser that became a cornerstone of the bank's wealth management arm. Morgan Stanley's profit beat expectations as rising revenue from wealth management in the first quarter offset declines in investment banking and trading. Wealth management accounted for 45% of firm's revenue, the results showed. Despite strains at some U.S. banks, Gorman said the industry is not in a banking crisis, nor was it facing problems comparable to the mortgage crash in 2008.
