Morgan Stanley reported $148 billion of net new assets in the second quarter, with more than half linked to recent initial public offerings. The results suggest the latest IPO wave may be creating benefits beyond underwriting fees, as founders and employees with large company stakes look for ways to invest newly created wealth. SpaceX played a major role in the recent listing activity after raising $75 billion in a record-breaking offering earlier this year, with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs serving as lead banks and each receiving roughly $100 million from the overall fee pool. Chief Financial Officer Sharon Yeshaya said the bank has about 70% of the top 100 unicorns by market capitalization in its workplace pipeline, reflecting its effort to support companies from an early stage.
