Morgan Stanley Unveils Alternatives Education Platform for Financial Advisors 

Key Highlights :

Morgan Stanley introduces the Alternatives Investing Center for financial planners with a specialty in alternative asset classes.

The site offers learning modules, continuing education classes, investment guides, and expert insights.

Continuing education credits can be earned by attending some of the sessions.

Key Background :

Morgan Stanley Investment Management boasts an extensive legacy of operating business in the investment space, overseeing a wide array of assets across the world. For decades, the company has specialized in innovation and client relationship management and is a market leader in financial services.

As more traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds increasingly correlated, diversification through the assistance of alternative investments has grown ever more important. Taking note of this trend, MSIM created education resources to educate financial advisors about how to recognize and incorporate alternative investments in client portfolios.

Alternatives Investing Center is a strategic program to provide advisors with experiential education and tools for managing alternative asset classes. The nine seminars on different categories of investments are supplemented with live webinars to facilitate interactive learning.

This effort follows on the heels of MSIM's earlier efforts, such as introducing the Tax Forward Investing Center, which targets significant aspects of asset management. Both websites show MSIM's dedication to enabling advisors and expanding the solutions they offer to customers.

In this process, MSIM aims to enhance advisor-client relationships through the implementation of skill and resources aimed at applying more sophisticated investment techniques and maximizing results for investors.
