Savings, the Morgan Stanley roadshow with the USA-Corriere.it managers is underway

Strengthen the investment strategies that have so far distinguished the curriculum of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, but also communicate the new asset management strategies. A change of skin, if you like, which the US asset manager summarizes in the motto «Old School Grit. New World Ideas» («Old school grit. Innovative ideas, ed) and which he will better illustrate in the context of a roadshow in Italy starting on Monday 8 May in Turin and reserved exclusively for professional clients. The appointment will then move to Naples the following day, to Rome on May 10, to Milan on May 11 and to Padua on May 12 (registrations from 9.30 info: www.morganstanley.com/im). The protagonists of the meetings were a large group of among the most representative managers such as Kristian Heugh, Head of Global Opportunity Team; Alex Gabriele, Portfolio Manager of Global Brands Fund; William Lock, Lead Portfolio Manager of Global Brands Fund; Matt Murphy, Institutional Portfolio Manager Emerging Markets Debt Team; Jim Caron, Co-Cio, Global Balanced Risk Control Team; and Andrew Harmstone, Head of Global Balanced Risk Control Team.

“The goal is to continue to provide management insights to our clients who have invested heavily in Growth strategies. In fact, we are now witnessing a recovery on the market of these stocks that had outperformed after the pandemic while they recorded negative trends in 2022 following the rate hikes», explains Niccolò Rabitti, Managing Director and Co-Head of Italy and Head of Retail Distribution Italy of Morgan Stanley Investment Management. “We believe in those businesses and our managers will explain the prospects offered by companies operating in e-commerce, cloud and software as a service, to name a few”. In fact, it is no mystery that the American asset manager has a long tradition of investing in Growth stocks, but – and this is where the aforementioned motto comes into play – with the acquisition of Eaton Vance in 2021 (500 billion dollars of dowry management) it can now also propose new solutions. «Morgan Stanley was not “top of the mind” among investors in an asset class such as bonds from emerging countries, but now we can rely on the expertise of Eaton Vance – specifies Rabitti -. And we are proposing the ESG funds of the subsidiary Calvert, the first US asset manager in “responsible investing”».

The introduction in 2021 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, which aims to regularize the framework of sustainable finance in the European Union and to combat greenwashing phenomena, has brought order and clarity to ESG funds; the Calvert funds, Rabitti claims, confirmed the article 9 classification. «These are funds which, despite being article 9, do not have a thematic or sectoral connotation but represent core strategies such as Emerging Markets Equity for example ». Morgan Stanley’s Wealth Management is also constantly evolving: last March a partnership was signed in the United States with OpenAi to provide over 15,000 advisors with a tool capable of accessing, processing and synthesizing the large number of contents part of the vast capital intellectual of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Morgan Stanley Investment Management will also be at the Salone del Risparmio from 16-18 May in Milan with Stan DeLaney, Managing Director – Disruptive Change Researcher of Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s Counterpoint Globalwhich will hold a conference dedicated to innovation in the asset management sector.
