WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On April 11, 2024, The Wall Street Journal published an article during market hours entitled, “Morgan Stanley’s Wealth Arm Probed by Multiple Federal Regulators.” The article stated multiple federal regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and other Treasury Department offices are investigating how Morgan Stanley “vets clients who are at risk of laundering money through the bank’s sprawling wealth-management division.” In addition, the article stated the main issues “boil down to whether Morgan Stanley has been sufficiently investigating the identities of prospective clients and where their wealth comes from, as well as how it monitors its clients’ financial activity. Some of the probes are focused on the bank’s international clients.”

On this news, Morgan Stanley’s stock fell $4.81 per share, or 5.2%, to close at $86.84 per share on April 11, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
