These 5 Companies Own 41% of Morgan Stanley Stock

One thing that differentiates Morgan Stanley from its competitors on Wall Street is the ownership of its shares -- specifically, the size of its biggest shareholder, Mitsubishi UFJ . As the brief slideshow below illustrates, Mitsubishi UFJ owns just under 22% of Morgan Stanley, making it the most concentrated owner of any big-10 bank in America.

T. Rowe Price also counts itself among Morgan Stanley's biggest shareholders, ranking third with an ownership interest equivalent to 5.3% of the fabled investment bank's stock. To be clear, T. Rowe Price owns its stake in Morgan Stanley for different reasons than Mitsubishi UFJ.
