Equity Research

This department is responsible for providing in-depth analysis of companies, industries, and markets to assess the investment outlook in equities. It collects and analyzes financial information to make specific investment recommendations. Research analysts use Morgan Stanley's proprietary framework for risk-reward analysis to identify investment opportunities for clients. They use their interactions with leading investors to identify the key debates driving asset prices, they build financial models to explore alternative scenarios, and they make recommendations based on relevant evidence that is not yet reflected in current prices. They regularly publish research notes to discuss their conclusions and thinking.
