About

Morgan Stanley is a leading global financial services firm providing investment banking, securities, wealth management, and investment management services, founded in 1935 by Henry Sturgis Morgan (grandson of J.P. Morgan) and Harold Stanley after breaking away from J.P. Morgan & Co. following the Glass-Steagall Act separation of commercial and investment banking. Headquartered in New York City and trading on NYSE (MS), the company reported approximately $61.9 billion in net revenues for FY2024 under CEO Ted Pick, who succeeded the transformative James Gorman as CEO in January 2024. Gorman's decade-long strategy—shifting Morgan Stanley's revenue mix from volatile investment banking and trading toward stable fee-based wealth management—has resulted in the Wealth Management segment representing approximately 55% of net revenues, with $7.5 trillion in total client assets managed across 15,000+ financial advisors.

About

MarketAxess Holdings Inc. is a New York City-based electronic fixed income trading platform — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: MKTX) as an S&P 500 Financials component — operating the leading electronic trading marketplace for US investment-grade corporate bonds, US high-yield bonds, emerging market bonds, municipal bonds, and US Treasury securities through approximately 850 employees globally. In fiscal year 2024, MarketAxess reported revenues of $763 million with record trading volumes in US investment-grade bonds and emerging market credit, as the multi-year electronification trend in bond markets continued to shift institutional fixed income trading from voice broker-dealer phone execution to electronic all-to-all trading on MarketAxess's Open Trading marketplace. CEO Chris Concannon (joined 2023, formerly Cboe Global Markets president) leads MarketAxess's strategy of expanding market share beyond the institutional investment-grade core into rate products (US Treasuries, agency securities), high-yield, and portfolio trading as fixed income electronification accelerates — currently approximately 40% of US investment-grade bonds trade electronically versus 15% in 2015. MarketAxess's Open Trading protocol (anonymous all-to-all price discovery between buy-side, sell-side, and market makers) generated over $2 trillion in liquidity provision in 2024, reducing transaction costs versus bilateral dealer quotes by an average of $0.28 per $100 face value.
