National investment loss lawyers KlaymanToskes reports that Morgan Stanley’s wealth unit is being probed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and multiple other federal agencies regarding its procedures for evaluating the risk of money laundering among clients, according to a Wall Street Journal report today.
The regulators reportedly investigating Morgan Stanley’s practices include the SEC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and various offices within the Treasury Department. The focus of the regulators’ investigation lies in scrutinizing Morgan Stanley’s diligence and thoroughness in verifying the identities of prospective clients and the sources of their wealth. Several regulators are also reportedly examining whether the firm adequately monitors the financial activities of its customers, particularly those with international ties.
Back in November 2023, the Federal Reserve began scrutinizing whether Morgan Stanley’s wealth management business was engaging in adequate measures to prevent potential money laundering by its wealthy clients outside of the U.S. Morgan Stanley’s continued scrutiny by regulators underscores the seriousness with which regulatory bodies are assessing its compliance with financial regulations and their commitment to ensuring the integrity of the financial system.
