and #2 in global announced and completed M&A8 – advising on eight of the top 10 announced transactions of2010. Equity capital markets achieved the highest market share in a decade.

Equity sales and trading results reflected solid customer flows in the cash and derivatives businesses andimproved results in prime brokerage. Fixed income results reflected the difficult environment while wecontinue to make progress building out our Interest Rate, Credit & Currency (IRCC) business.

Global Wealth Management Group delivered improved performance this year – with net revenues of $12.6
billion. Despite a challenging retail environment for much of the year, net new client assets were $22.9
billion, including $14.1 billion in the fourth quarter. Turnover of top revenue-producing global
representatives for the year was near historic lows.



Asset Management delivered significantly improved performance this year – with net revenues of $2.7 billion
and improved profitability. Asset Management also has continued to deliver solid investment performance,with over 70% of its long-term strategies outperforming their respective benchmarks on a 3, 5 and 10-yearbasis (as of December 2010).



The Firm continued to build its international business this year – including the launch of its Japanese joint
venture. The Firm also completed the sale of its investment in CICC, which allowed the Firm to proceed witha new joint venture with China Fortune Securities Co., Ltd.

James P. Gorman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Morgan Stanley delivered improved performanceacross most of our businesses during the fourth quarter, and the strength of our premier client franchise wasevidenced by participation in virtually every major transaction that helped raise capital for governments andleading corporations across the globe. Despite this year’s challenging markets, we delivered strong results in
Investment Banking enhancing our leadership positions in M&A, global equity and IPOs based on the strength ofour banking, capital markets and equities teams. While we made progress in building out our Fixed income
business through investments in both people and technology, there is more to be done to drive revenue and market
share growth. In Global Wealth Management, the strong performance we delivered in the fourth quarter – and thestrong net new asset growth we achieved during 2010 – are the clearest signs yet of the important progress wehave made in integrating Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. Our Asset Management business also delivered
significantly improved performance this year, as we refocused the business around our core strengths, hired key
talent and addressed legacy issues.
“Throughout 2010, we continued driving forward a wide range of important strategic initiatives – from the launchof our Japanese joint venture with Mitsubishi and the sale of our CICC stake to the planned separation of ourProcess Driven Trading business and the sale of our Invesco shares. I am pleased with the progress we made thisyear, but there is a great deal of work to do across Morgan Stanley’s global franchise as we look to deliver firstclass service to our clients and long-term value to our shareholders and employees," Gorman added.

from continuing operations before income taxes as a percentage of net revenues.
- For the quarter ended December 31, 2010, discontinued operations primarily included charges related to the Firm's investment in Revel Entertainment Group, LLC (Revel). For the twelve months ended
December 31, 2010, discontinued operations primarily included a gain of $775 million related to a legal settlement with Discover Financial Services and a net gain of approximately $570 million related
to the sale and charges related to the Firm's investment in the retail asset management business, including Van Kampen, partly offset by a loss of $1.2 billion related to a reduction in the carrying valueof the Firm's investment in Revel and other related costs, including operating expenses.
- The quarter ended December 31, 2010 included a discrete tax gain of approximately $95 million associated with the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings at a cost lower than originally estimated.
