Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to publicly announce and provide investors with Morgan Stanley's financial results for the fourth quarter and the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. It includes the official press release, a detailed financial data supplement, and materials for an investor conference call.

The detailed financial results are available in the exhibits to this 8-K filing. Specifically, Exhibit 99.1 is the press release containing the financial information, and Exhibit 99.2 is the Financial Data Supplement, both of which are incorporated by reference into the filing.

Exhibit 99.3 is a presentation that was intended for an investor conference call. While it provides context and management's perspective on the financial results, it is furnished rather than filed. This means it is not subject to the same liability provisions as filed information, and it may contain forward-looking statements that investors should review with caution.

The filing itself primarily reports on past performance (Q4 and FY 2023). However, the accompanying presentation (Exhibit 99.3) may contain forward-looking statements about targets, objectives, and goals. Investors should carefully review the 'Forward-Looking Statements' section within the filing and the associated risks outlined in Morgan Stanley's other SEC filings for insights into future outlook.
