About Firm Risk Management (FRM) Team

Morgan Stanley's Risk Management Division partners with our businesses across the Firm to realize
efficient risk-adjusted returns while protecting the Firm's capital base and franchise. Risk Management is
critical to every aspect of Morgan Stanley's business as well as influencing our culture. We advise
businesses and clients on risk mitigating strategies, develop tools to analyze and monitor risks and lead
key regulatory initiatives. Firm Risk Management functions are independent of the Firm's business units
and infrastructure functions, assisting senior management and the Firm risk committee in monitoring and
managing risk through assessment and control processes.

The Model Risk department independently reviews the 4000+ models used across the Firm varying from
simple spreadsheet-based models to Deep Learning based models. It tests the conceptual soundness of
models by using various quantitative techniques and then writes technical documents to document the
findings of the review.
