Since its founding in 1935, Morgan Stanley and its people have helped redefine the meaning of financial services. The firm has continually broken new ground in advising our clients on strategic transactions, in pioneering the global expansion of finance and capital markets, and in providing new opportunities for individual and institutional investors.

Morgan Stanley has been active in the Middle East since the 1970s. In 2007, Morgan Stanley Saudi Arabia was established with the acquisition by Morgan Stanley of a majority interest in The Capital Group. The combination of local knowledge of the Saudi market and international perspective and access enables us to assist clients across the range of industries. We provide investment banking, investment management and wealth management services. Sales and trading services will be introduced in 2008.
