This week, we speak with Mike Wilson, Chief Investment Officer and Chief US Equity Strategist at Morgan Stanley. Prior to becoming CIO, Mike began his career with the firm in 1989 as an investment banker. Since then, he has held various positions within Morgan Stanley’s institutional equity division, including head of content distribution for North American equities.

He shares his experience at Morgan Stanley, his path to CIO, and his thoughts on the forces shaping today’s markets.

Wilson’s mother was a financial advisor in the early 1980s. She got him interested in looking at stocks at a young age. Nike was the first stock he ever picked when he was 13 years old. It was his highest winning percentage and ended up paying his tuition. Thus was born a lifelong fascination with stocks and investments.
