Morgan Stanley launched two flash briefings and a custom skill:

“Alexa, play my flash briefing.”

·         Thoughts on the Market features commentary from Chief U.S. Equity Strategist and Chief Investment Officer for Institutional Securities and Wealth Management, Mike Wilson, and other thought leaders.

“Alexa, open Morgan Stanley”

·         Our custom skill allows clients to access the flash briefing content as well as original content such as “Get to Know Morgan Stanley,” an audio clip describing our culture and what it’s like to work with Morgan Stanley and “Jargon Buster,” a jeopardy-style financial term game.

“This new channel will allow us to easily and quickly share valuable Morgan Stanley insights,” said Mike Wilson, Chief U.S. Equity Strategist and Chief Investment Officer for Institutional Securities and Wealth Management. “Incorporating our latest thought leadership into voice assistants is part of how we are adapting to client needs and integrating ourselves into how people increasingly consume information today.”
