Morgan Stanley Forms Private Markets Transaction Desk

Morgan Stanley Wealth Management announced the launch of its Private Markets Transaction Desk, a concierge service that empowers eligible shareholders and investors to buy and sell eligible private company shares in the secondary market. The offering is part of Morgan Stanley’s broader Private Markets ecosystem that provides a suite of solutions for companies, employees and investors to serve a diversity of client needs. The Private Markets Transaction Desk helps solve these needs through a company-centric approach. Clients who use the desk can benefit from direct support for one-off sales of private company shares. Conversely, clients intent on investing in private companies can gain access to investments that are not widely accessible. This offering complements the existing private investment platforms for clients offered through Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. The Private Market Transaction Desk is currently live and facilitating trades on behalf of clients.
