Morgan Stanley Investment Management has been investing in private markets for over 30 years and is widely recognized as a pioneer in allocating across alternatives. We are uniquely positioned to help wealth management organizations optimize client outcomes by integrating alternative and traditional investments within a thoughtful portfolio construction framework.
Structural shifts in financial markets are reshaping how investors must think about building and preserving wealth. We’re also operating in a world of accelerating complexity. AI and rapidly shifting regulations are reshaping the investment landscape, and the old playbook simply no longer works. Wealth management organizations need more than tools. They need differentiated access, and that’s what Morgan Stanley Investment Management Alternative Investing Center aims to deliver: real-time access to information, ideas, and experts, thought leaders that are shaping the future of investment.
For decades, a mix of stocks and bonds delivered strong, risk-adjusted returns. But today, a traditional sixty-forty portfolio no longer reflects the investment opportunities available to individual investors, and in our view, it no longer serves as a truly well-balanced portfolio. Stock and bonds are increasingly correlated, falling together during inflationary shocks and rate hikes.
Alternatives provide essential portfolio diversification, typically introducing returns that are not directly dependent on public market cycles. At the same time, alpha in public markets has become harder to capture with increased market efficiency, compressed valuation, and concentration in passive vehicles. However, private markets performance is, in the main, driven by informational advantage and sourcing skills.
It’s an exciting time in capital markets. New investment structures are unlocking opportunities for all type of investors. These new structures, evergreen funds such as ALTIs, are making alternatives more accessible, more flexible, and more aligned with the needs of individual investors and their advisors.
We are thrilled to partner with you as we navigate the evolving worlds of investing. To that end, we are committed to delivering best-in-class content in an array of formats to meet your needs:
- Live and on-demand classes delivered by industry thought leaders
- Short videos that provide high-level information on alternative investment strategies

The Alternatives Investing Center is here to deliver this access, backed by the industry-leading global resources of Morgan Stanley.
