Morgan Stanley Rises as Goldman Sachs Slows in Wall Street Power Shift

A shift in power is taking shape on Wall Street in the United States. As market volatility weighs on traditional investment banking names, financial firms focused on wealth management and asset management are being valued at record-high levels. In this trend, Morgan Stanley is gaining ground while Goldman Sachs appears to be slowing. The key change is that investment-banking-centered earnings models are under pressure, while companies that expanded wealth and asset management are receiving stronger market recognition. As Wall Street’s competitive focus moves from IB toward WM and asset management, financial firms’ strategies and valuations are expected to keep changing. Source: mk.co.kr
