A month after Morgan Stanley said it was buying stock-plan administrator Solium Capital for $900 million, the wirehouse is reorganizing its Wealth Management leadership and operations to take advantage of the acquired platform.
The co-heads of the unit — Shelley O'Connor and Andy Saperstein — just told the firm's nearly 15,700 advisors that Wealth Management COO Jed Finn had been tapped to also serve as head of the new Corporate and Institutional Solutions group, which will include Solium. He will be supported by Managing Director Brian McDonald.
"Last month's announcement of our acquisition of Solium positions the firm to be an industry leader in workplace wealth solutions by bringing together the premier stock plan administration platform with our leading Wealth Management business," according to O'Connor and Saperstein.
Other leadership changes affect Ben Huneke, head of Investment Solutions, who will help run the consolidated product and platform group, along with Jim Tracy, head of Morgan Stanley's Consulting Group and Graystone Consulting.
Lisa Golia, head of Field Strategic Services, will lead the combined branch-service organization.
