(1) | For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Firm recognized, in income from continuing operations, a net tax benefit of approximately |
| $155 million. This included a discrete benefit of approximately $299 million related to the remeasurement of reserves due to either the expiration of the |
| applicable statute of limitations, or new information regarding the status of certain Internal Revenue Service examinations. The Firm also recognized, |
| in the quarter ended December 31, 2012, an out of period net tax provision of approximately $144 million, principally in the Asset Management |
| business segment, primarily related to the overstatement of deferred tax assets associated with partnership investments in prior periods. For the |
| full year ended December 31, 2012, the Firm recognized, in income from continuing operations, the discrete tax benefit noted above and an out of period |
| net tax provision of approximately $226 million to adjust previously recorded deferred tax assets. The Firm has evaluated the effects of the understatement |
| of the income tax provision both qualitatively and quantitatively and concluded that it did not have a material impact on any prior annual or quarterly |
| consolidated results. A comprehensive review of the Firm’s deferred tax accounts continues, and as such, the net tax provisions noted |
| above could be subject to revision. The quarter ended September 30, 2012, included an out of period net income tax provision of approximately |
| $82 million, primarily related to the overstatement of tax benefits associated with repatriated earnings of a foreign subsidiary in 2010. The full year |
| ended December 31, 2011, income tax provision / (benefit) from continuing operations included a net discrete tax benefit of $447 million associated |
| with the sale of Revel Entertainment Group, LLC. (Revel) and the tax benefit of $230 million related to the MUMSS loss. |

(1) | Reflects the regional view of the Firm's consolidated net revenues, on a managed basis, based on the following methodology: Institutional |
| Securities: investment banking - client location, equity capital markets - client location, debt capital markets - revenue recording location, |
| sales & trading - trading desk location. Global Wealth Management: financial advisor location. Asset Management: client location except for the |
| merchant banking business which is based on asset location. |
(2) | Risk weighted assets (RWA) are calculated in accordance with the regulatory capital requirements of the Federal Reserve. RWAs reflect both on |
| and off-balance sheet risk of the Firm. Market RWAs reflect capital charges attributable to the risk of loss resulting from adverse changes |
| in market prices and other factors. Credit RWAs reflect capital charges attributable to the risk of loss arising from a borrower or counterparty |
| failing to meet its financial obligations. |
(3) | The Global Liquidity Reserve, which is held within the Parent and operating subsidiaries, is comprised of highly liquid and diversified cash and cash |
| equivalents and unencumbered securities. Eligible unencumbered securities include U.S. government securities, U.S. agency securities, U.S. |
| agency mortgage-backed securities, FDIC-guaranteed corporate debt and non-U.S. government securities. For a further discussion of the Firm's |
| Global Liquidity Reserve, see the Firm's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. |

(5) | In accordance with the Federal Reserve Board's formalized definition as of December 30, 2011, Tier 1 common capital is defined as Tier 1 |
| capital less non-common elements in Tier 1 capital, including perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, minority interest in subsidiaries, trust |
| preferred securities and mandatory convertible preferred securities. Prior periods have been recast to conform to this definition. This computation |
| is a preliminary estimate as of January 18, 2013 (the date of this release) and could be subject to revision in Morgan Stanley’s Annual Report on |
| Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. |
(6) | Tier 1 capital consists predominately of common shareholders' equity as well as qualifying preferred stock and qualifying restricted core capital |
| elements (trust preferred securities and noncontrolling interests) less goodwill, non-servicing intangible assets (excluding allowable mortgage |
| servicing rights), net deferred tax assets (recoverable in excess of one year), an after-tax debt valuation adjustment and certain other deductions, |
| including equity investments. This computation is a preliminary estimate as of January 18, 2013 (the date of this release) and could be subject to |
| revision in Morgan Stanley’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. |

(1) | The Firm’s capital estimation is based on the Required Capital framework, an internal capital adequacy measure which considers a risk-based |
| going concern capital after absorbing potential losses from extreme stress events at a point in time. Beginning in the quarter ended March 31, |
| 2012, the Firm's Required Capital is met by Tier 1 common capital. Tier 1 common capital and common equity attribution to business segment is |
| based on capital usage calculated by the framework. The difference between the Firm's Tier 1 common capital and aggregate Required Capital is |
| the Firm's Parent capital. The Firm generally holds parent capital for prospective regulatory requirements, including Basel III, organic growth, |
| acquisitions and other capital needs. The Required Capital framework will continue to evolve over time in response to changes in the business |
| and regulatory environment and to incorporate enhancements in modeling techniques. |
