What is Microfinance?



Confronting the world’s environmental, social and community issues takes more than just good will.

It calls for a combination of capital, specialized skills and a strategic approach.

Morgan Stanley's Environment, Social Finance & Community Reinvestment Group provides strategic, integrated focus to these vital areas. The group proactively partners with other Business Units across the Firm to identify, analyze and execute business opportunities in these key areas that provide multiple bottom line returns to the Firm and to the broader community. The Environment, Social Finance & Community Reinvestment Group also fosters awareness throughout the Firm by mobilizing employees to give back to the community in ways that uniquely leverage the talents and passions of Morgan Stanley's current and future leaders.
