Morgan Stanley has merged its Field Risk and Service units within its wealth management division. This consolidation aims to streamline operations and improve collaboration among staff supporting financial advisors. While the total number of affected employees is unspecified, some regions saw a significant portion of these operational roles eliminated. The company stated these changes align with its strategy to scale its operating model. These layoffs are distinct from a broader reduction in force that occurred in March.
