Morgan Stanley Sets 20% Wealth-management Target

Morgan Stanley Chief Executive Officer James Gorman presented the firm's new wealth management pre-tax margin goal as 20% or more, in a presentation on Wednesday. The goal announced at the firm's financial services conference by the CEO was up from lower targets. The firm originally set a 20% target when it announced plans to purchase the Smith Barney brokerage from Citigroup Inc. . The firm has since reversed course and set a goal in the mid-teens by mid-year 2013.

Morgan Stanley shares were down 1.15%.Copyright © 2013 MarketWatch, Inc....
