TIAA-CREF Corporate Office

Andrew Carnegie and Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching created the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) in 1918 as a fully funded system of pensions for professors. The funding was provided by Carnegie Corporation of New York, along with participating individuals and institutions.

Rising inflation and lengthening life expectancies, along with a large expansion of the education sector with the G.I. Bill after World War I, caused TIAA to recognize the need for its participants to diversify their retirement funds by investing in equities. Thus they created the College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF) in 1952.

In 2007 TIAA-CREF was chosen by the California State Teacher’s Retirement System (CalSTRS), the second-largest public pension plan and largest teacher retirement fund in the United States, as the sole investment provider for its supplemental retirement savings programs.

Today TIAA-CREF is a Fortune 100 financial services organization and the leading retirement provider for people working in the academic, research, medical, and cultural fields. It serves 3.7 million active participants, with 15,000 participating institutions and $487 billion in combined assets under management. It is a non-profit company.

Morgan Stanley Corporate Office

In 1935 a law was passed that stated that investment banking and commercial banking businesses could not operate under a single holding entity. It was therefore necessary for J.P. Morgan & Co. to spin off their investment banking business into a new firm, Morgan Stanley. In the company’s first year of business it achieved 24% of market share ($1.1 billion). 

During the period from 1951 to 1961 Morgan Stanley co-managed the World Bank’s $50 million AAA rated bonds, GM’s $300 million debt issue, IBM’s $231 million stock offering, and AT&T’s $250 million debt offering.

In 1962 Morgan Stanley created the first viable computer model for financial analysis.

In 1971 the company established its Mergers & Acquisitions business, along with Sales & Trading.

In 1997 Morgan Stanley merged with Dean Witter Reynolds and Discover & Co., the spun-off financial services business of Sears Roebuck.

Morgan Stanley has served as the lead underwriter for many large global tech IPOs, including Apple, Facebook, Netscape, Cisco, Compaq, Broadcom Corp., Cogent Inc., Dolby Laboratories, Priceline, Salesforce, Google, and Groupon.

Morgan Stanley had significant problems during the economic crisis of 2008. As a result, in 2008 the company announced that it would become a traditional bank holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve.

Today Morgan Stanley is a multinational financial services corporation. They operate in 42 countries through 1,300 offices and with 60,000 employees. Morgan Stanley had revenue of $32 billion in 2012.
