Morgan Stanley to acquire transfer-agent fintech Vinyl Equity

Published Monday, November 9, 2026 · 7:02 PM EST

Morgan Stanley is acquiring fintech company Vinyl Equity to bring its cloud-based transfer-agent technology into its workplace business, Bloomberg reported. Transfer agents maintain the official record of stock ownership. Wealth management head Jed Finn said bringing that function in-house would reduce reliance on outside providers as companies move from private to public ownership.
