Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 16, 2020, Morgan Stanley (the "Company") released financial information with respect to its quarter ended March 31, 2020. A copy of the press release containing this information is annexed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.  In addition, a copy of the Company's Financial Data Supplement for its quarter ended March 31, 2020 is annexed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report and by this reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

The information furnished under Item 2.02 of this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 8.01. Other Matters.

The following risk factor supplements the “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Our results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has, and will likely continue to, severely impact global economic conditions, resulting in substantial volatility in the global financial markets, increased unemployment, and operational challenges such as the temporary closures of businesses, sheltering-in-place directives and increased remote work protocols.  Governments and central banks around the world have reacted to the economic crisis caused by the pandemic by implementing stimulus and liquidity programs and cutting interest rates, though it is unclear whether these or future actions will be successful in countering the economic disruption.  If the pandemic is prolonged or the actions of governments and central banks are unsuccessful, the adverse impact on the global economy will deepen, and our results of operations and financial condition in future quarters will be adversely affected.

Towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 and into April 2020, the pandemic impacted each of our business segments and such impact will likely be greater in future quarters if conditions persist (e.g., decline and volatility of asset prices, reduction in interest rates, widening of credit spreads, credit deterioration, market volatility and reduced investment banking advisory activity).  This resulted in significant decreases in the valuation of loans and commitments, investments and certain classes of trading assets, an increase in the allowance for credit losses, reduced net interest income, and reduced investment banking advisory fees.  At the same time, increased revenues for certain products related to high levels of client trading activity, as well as  balance sheet growth from increased deposits and derivative assets, may not be replicated in future quarters.

Should these global market conditions be prolonged or worsen, or the pandemic lead to additional market disruptions, we could experience reduced client activity and demand for our products and services, higher credit and valuation losses in our loan and commitment and investment portfolios, impairments of other financial assets and other negative impacts on our financial position, including possible constraints on capital and liquidity, as well as a higher cost of capital, and possible changes or downgrades to our credit ratings.  In addition, the sharp decline in interest rates will further decrease interest margins in our lending businesses across Wealth Management and Institutional Securities. A continued slowdown of commercial activity would cause overall investment banking revenues to decline and the decline in assets under management and client balances will also further reduce fee and financing revenues across all of our business segments.

Operationally, although we have initiated a work remotely protocol and restricted business travel of our workforce, if significant portions of our workforce, including key personnel, are unable to work effectively because of illness, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic, the  impact of the pandemic on our businesses could be exacerbated.

While the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our results of operations in the first quarter of 2020, the extent to which it, and the related global economic crisis, affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and any recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities, central banks and other third parties in response to the pandemic, and the effects on our customers, counterparties, employees and third-party service providers. Moreover, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will  heighten  the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K.

Morgan Stanley First Quarter 2020 Earnings Results

Morgan Stanley Reports Net Revenues of $9.5 Billion and EPS of $1.01

NEW YORK, April 16, 2020 – Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) today reported net revenues of $9.5 billion for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 compared with $10.3 billion a year ago.  Net income applicable to Morgan Stanley was $1.7 billion, or $1.01 per diluted share,^1^^^compared with net income of $2.4 billion, or $1.39 per diluted share,^1^ for the same period a year ago.


James P. Gorman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Over the past two months, we have witnessed more market volatility, uncertainty and anxiety as a result of the devastating COVID-19 than at any time since the financial crisis.  While it’s too early to predict how this will unfold, Morgan Stanley navigated the quarter well given the conditions, and our results bear testament to the strength of our balanced business model. Our investments in technology and infrastructure enabled us to continue to serve our clients around the globe with more than 90% of our employees working from home. I am proud of the dedication and professionalism of our employees in the face of these obstacles.”

Highlights

The Firm’s results demonstrated the stability of our franchise.
Our balance sheet, capital and liquidity remain strong and the Firm is well positioned to facilitate client activity in these uncertain<br> markets.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, the Firm is focused on the health and financial wellness of our employees, clients, shareholders and the local<br> communities in which we operate.
We voluntarily ceased our share repurchase program in the first quarter to better support clients with lending and other services during this<br> global pandemic.
Non-compensation expenses were elevated due to higher volume-related expenses and the increase in the allowance for credit losses for lending<br> commitments.
Institutional Securities net revenues reflect strong performance in Sales and Trading, up 30% on higher client volumes and volatility; overall<br> results were impacted by the deterioration of credit in the global markets.
Wealth Management delivered a pre-tax margin of 26.1%^4^ despite market headwinds, reflecting strong underlying business fundamentals.<br> Bank lending increased 15% and deposits were up $55 billion from a year ago.
Investment Management reported strong management fees on higher AUM and continued positive long-term net flows.  Results reflect lower<br> investment revenues driven by the decline in global asset prices.

Institutional Securities

Institutional Securities reported net revenues for the current quarter of $4.9 billion compared with $5.2 billion a year ago. Pre-tax income was $1.0 billion compared with $1.6 billion a year ago.^5^

Investment Banking revenues down 1% from a year ago:
Advisory revenues decreased from a year ago driven by lower completed M&A activity on a decline in volumes, particularly in large<br> transactions.
Equity underwriting revenues were in line with a subdued prior year quarter. The current year period reflects a steep decline in global equity<br> volumes in the second half of the quarter, with the prior year impacted by lower IPO volumes.
Fixed income underwriting revenues increased from a year ago on higher investment grade bonds and non-investment grade loan issuances as clients<br> accessed the market to benefit from the lower rate environment and to raise additional liquidity in March.
Sales and Trading net revenues up 30% from a year ago:
Equity sales and trading net revenues increased from a year ago reflecting strong performance across businesses, particularly in the Americas and<br> Asia, driven by higher client volumes.
Fixed Income sales and trading net revenues increased 29% from a year ago reflecting strong performance across rates, foreign exchange and<br> commodities, on strong client engagement and volatility in the markets. The increase was partially offset by declines in credit products, notably in securitized products and municipal securities, which were negatively impacted by market<br> dislocation.
Other sales and trading net revenues increased from a year ago driven by gains on economic hedges associated with corporate lending activity,<br> partially offset by losses on investments associated with employee deferred cash-based compensation plans.

Investments revenues decreased from a year ago primarily driven by a markdown on an energy-related investment. The prior year quarter included<br> revenues related to a fund distribution.

Compensation expenses were essentially unchanged from a year ago.
Non-compensation expenses increased from a year ago on higher volume-related expenses and an increase in the allowance for credit losses for<br> unfunded lending commitments.

Net revenues decreased 8% from a year ago:
Asset management revenues increased from a year ago reflecting higher asset levels and strong fee-based asset flows.
Transactional revenues^14^ decreased significantly from a year ago principally driven by mark-to-market losses on investments associated with employee deferred cash-based compensation plans, reflecting the market decline in<br> March.  This decrease was partially offset by a notable increase compared with a year ago in commissions driven by higher client activity and volumes in a volatile market environment.
Net interest income decreased 21% compared with a year ago primarily driven by lower interest rates and an increase in mortgage securities<br> prepayment amortization expense. Wealth Management client liabilities^15^ were $92 billion at quarter end compared with $82 billion a year ago.

Non-compensation expenses increased from a year ago primarily driven by the inclusion of Solium Capital Inc. in the current quarter.

Investment Management

Investment Management reported net revenues of $692 million compared with $804 million a year ago.  Pre-tax income was $143 million compared with $174 million a year ago.^5^

Net revenues decreased 14% from a year ago:
Asset management revenues increased from a year ago driven by higher levels of AUM.
Investments revenues reflect a significant decrease from the reversal of accrued carried interest and markdowns on investments due to the decline<br> in global asset prices. The decrease was partially offset by accrued carried interest associated with mark-to-market gains on an underlying investment, subject to sales restrictions, within an Asia private equity fund.
Total Expenses:
Compensation expense decreased from a year ago principally due to a decrease in carried interest.
Non-compensation expenses increased from a year ago driven by higher brokerage and clearing costs.

Other Matters
Prior to voluntarily ceasing its program, the Firm repurchased $1.3 billion of its outstanding common stock during the quarter as part of<br> its Share Repurchase Program.
The Board of Directors declared a $0.35 quarterly dividend per share, payable on May 15, 2020 to common shareholders of record on April 30,<br> 2020.
The effective tax rate for the quarter was 17.1%, which reflected a recurring-type of discrete tax benefit of $99 million associated with employee share-based payments.^20^ The current quarter also included intermittent<br> net discrete tax benefits of $31 million associated with the remeasurement of prior years’ tax liability.
At March 31, 2020 the Firm’s risk-based capital ratios are based on the Advanced Approach, while at March 31, 2019, they were based on the<br> Standardized Approach.

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic

The coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related government-imposed shelter-in-place restrictions have had, and will continue to have, severe impact on global economic conditions and the environment in which we operate our businesses.

Firm Operational Status and Actions
In responding to this unprecedented situation, we have taken measures to prioritize the health of our employees and their families, and to be<br> prepared operationally to serve our clients, leveraging our business continuity planning and historical investments in technology.
More than 90% of our employees are currently working from home, and to date, we have not experienced any significant loss of operational capability, as we implemented our pandemic-related responses. We believe we are prepared to continue to operate with the vast majority of our workforce<br> working remotely for as long as health guidelines and prudence require, with limited impact to our operational capabilities.
The coronavirus disease has impacted many people’s health around the world, including many of our employees.  Our Chairman and CEO was diagnosed<br> with the coronavirus in March, but has fully recovered.  The rest of the Firm’s Operating Committee and Board of Directors remain healthy and are sheltering in place.
With the COVID-19 impacts on individuals, communities and organizations continuing to evolve, governments around the world have reacted to the health<br> crisis caused by the pandemic, and central banks have taken steps to proactively address market disruptions by cutting interest rates and providing liquidity sources and other stimulus programs.  We are working with the Federal Reserve, U.S.<br> Treasury and other global governmental agencies, our clients and within our communities to participate in or facilitate the numerous programs aimed at keeping markets functioning and supporting those affected by the economic downturn.

4



We also have taken several direct steps to provide assistance. Our balance sheet has increased as we support market and client activity; take in<br> increased deposits from our Wealth Management clients; extend credit to our institutional clients and retail clients to provide them with additional liquidity; and provide financing to support COVID-19 impacted clients across multiple<br> sectors.
Financial Status and Outlook
--- ---
The Firm’s financial condition is healthy and our capital and liquidity remain strong. In March 2020, we have seen deposit inflows of $38<br> billion as customers have sought relative safety away from volatile markets and the Firm raised more than $5 billion in new long-term debt supplementing our liquidity position.
As mentioned in our discussion of our quarterly results, towards the end of the first quarter of 2020, we observed the impact of the pandemic on<br> each of our businesses. The decline of asset prices, reduction in interest rates, widening of credit spreads, lending and counterparty credit deterioration, market volatility and reduced investment banking activity had the most<br> immediate negative impacts on our first quarter performance. We experienced significant decreases in the valuation of loans and commitments, investments and certain classes of trading assets, an increase in the allowance for credit<br> losses, and reduced net interest income and investment banking fees. The credit deterioration within Institutional Securities was notable, with mark-to-market losses, net of economic hedges of $610 million on loans held for sale and a<br> provision of $388 million for credit losses on loans and unfunded lending commitments held for investment. At the same time, high levels of client trading activity related to market volatility significantly increased revenues for global<br> macro products, Commodities and the transactional businesses in Wealth Management.
Though we are unable to estimate the extent of the impact, an extended period of depressed economic activity necessitated to combating the<br> disease, and the severity and duration of the related global economic crisis, will adversely impact our future operating results, and the attainment of our financial targets, with the continuance of many of the same negative impacts and<br> without the potential benefit of higher client trading activity experienced in the first quarter.  See “Risk Factor— Our<br><br><br><br><br><br> results from operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic” included in the Firm’s current report on Form 8-K dated April 16, 2020.

This earnings release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “would,” “target,” similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words.

These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed acquisition, will be more fully discussed in the proxy statement/prospectus that will be included in the registration statement on Form S-4 that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed acquisition. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors to be presented in the registration statement on Form S-4 will be, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

^6^ The Firm expense efficiency ratio represents total non-interest expenses as a percentage of net revenues.

^7^ Book value per common share represents common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.

^8^ Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Firm considers useful for analysts, investors and other stakeholders to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance and capital adequacy. The calculation of tangible book value per common share represents tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.  Tangible common equity, also a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable mortgage servicing rights deduction.

^9^ The return on average tangible common equity and tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for analysts, investors and other stakeholders to allow better comparability of period-to-period operating performance and capital adequacy. The calculation of return on average common equity and return on average tangible common equity represents annualized earnings applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity and average tangible common equity, respectively. Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable servicing rights deduction.

^10^ Wealth Management fee-based client assets represent the amount of assets in client accounts where the basis of payment for services is a fee calculated on those assets.

^11^ Wealth Management fee-based asset flows include net new fee-based assets, net account transfers, dividends, interest, and client fees and exclude institutional cash management related activity.

^12^ AUM is defined as assets under management.

^13^ Long-term net flows include the Equity, Fixed Income and Alternative/Other asset classes and exclude the Liquidity asset class.

^14^ Transactional revenues include investment banking, trading, and commissions and fee revenues.

^15^ Wealth Management client liabilities reflect U.S. Bank Subsidiaries’ lending and broker-dealer margin activity.  U.S. Bank refers to the Firm’s U.S. Bank operating subsidiaries Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Private Bank, National Association.

^16^ Capital ratios are estimates as of the press release date, April 16, 2020.

^17^ The Firm’s risk-based capital ratios for purposes of determining regulatory compliance are the lower of the capital ratios computed under the (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk and market risk risk-weighted assets (“RWAs”) (the “Standardized Approach”); and (ii) applicable advanced approaches for calculating credit risk, market risk and operational risk RWAs (the “Advanced Approach”).  At March 31, 2020 the Firm’s ratios are based on the Advanced Approach, while at March 31, 2019, they were based on the Standardized Approach.  For information on the calculation of regulatory capital and ratios for prior periods, please refer to Part II, Item 7 “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Regulatory Requirements” in the Firm’s 2019 Form 10-K.

^18^ The Tier 1 leverage ratio is a non-risk based capital requirement that measures the Firm’s leverage.  Tier 1 leverage ratio utilizes Tier 1 capital as the numerator and average adjusted assets as the denominator.

^19^ The Firm must maintain a Tier 1 supplementary leverage ratio of 5% inclusive of a capital buffer of at least 2% in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividends and stock repurchases, and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The Firm’s Supplementary Leverage Ratio utilizes a Tier 1 capital numerator of approximately $74.0 billion and $71.9 billion, and supplementary leverage exposure denominator of approximately $1.19 trillion and $1.10 trillion, for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

^20^ The income tax consequences related to employee share-based payments are recognized in Provision for income taxes in the consolidated income statement, and may be either a benefit or a provision. Conversion of employee share-based awards to Firm shares will primarily occur in the first quarter of each year. The impact of recognizing excess tax benefits upon conversion of awards in the first quarter of 2020 was a benefit of $99 million to Provision for income taxes. We consider these employee share-based award related provisions or benefits to be recurring-type (“Recurring”) discrete tax items, as we anticipate conversion activity each year. Accordingly, these Recurring discrete tax provisions or benefits are excluded from the intermittent net discrete tax provisions or benefits disclosures.

Definition of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(a) The Firm prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).  From<br> time to time, Morgan Stanley may disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures” in the course of its earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and otherwise.  The Securities and Exchange Commission defines<br> a “non-GAAP financial measure” as a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial positions, or cash flows that is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude, or include amounts from the most directly<br> comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Morgan Stanley are provided as additional information to analysts, investors and other stakeholders in order to<br> provide them with greater transparency about, or an alternative method for assessing, our financial condition, operating results, or prospective regulatory capital requirements.  These measures are not in accordance with, or a<br> substitute for U.S. GAAP, and may be different from or inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.  Whenever we refer to a non-GAAP financial measure, we will also generally define it or present the most<br> directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, along with a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure we reference and such comparable U.S. GAAP financial<br> measure.  In addition to the following notes, please also refer to the Firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
(b) The following are considered non-GAAP financial measures that the Firm considers useful for analysts, investors and other stakeholders to allow better<br> comparability of operating performance and capital adequacy.  These measures are calculated as follows:
- Earnings per diluted share, excluding intermittent net discrete tax provision / benefit represents net income (loss) applicable to Morgan Stanley, adjusted for<br> the impact of the intermittent net discrete tax provision / benefit, less preferred dividends divided by the average number of diluted shares outstanding.
- The return on average tangible common equity represents annualized earnings applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders<br> as a percentage of average tangible common equity.
- The return on average common equity and the return on average tangible common equity excluding intermittent net discrete tax<br> provision / benefit are adjusted in both the numerator and the denominator to exclude the intermittent net discrete tax provision / benefit.
- Segment return on average common equity and return on average tangible common equity represents full year net income or<br> annualized net income for the quarter applicable to Morgan Stanley for each segment, less preferred dividend segment allocation, divided by average common equity and average tangible common equity for each respective segment.  The<br> segment adjustments to common equity to derive segment average tangible common equity are generally set at the beginning of the year, and will remain fixed throughout the year until the next annual reset unless a significant business<br> change occurs (e.g., acquisition or disposition).
- Tangible common equity represents common equity less goodwill and intangible assets net of allowable mortgage servicing rights<br> deduction.
- Tangible book value per common share represents tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.

Definition of Performance Metrics and Terms
Our earnings releases, earnings conference calls, financial presentations and other communications may also include certain<br> metrics which we believe to be useful to us, investors, analysts and other stakeholders by providing further transparency about, or an additional means of assessing, our financial condition and operating results.
Page 1:
(a) Net income (loss) applicable to Morgan Stanley represents net income, less net income applicable to nonredeemable noncontrolling interests.
(b) Earnings (loss) applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders represents net income (loss) applicable to Morgan Stanley, less preferred<br> dividends.
Page 2:
(a) The return on average common equity represents annualized earnings applicable to Morgan Stanley common shareholders as a percentage of average<br> common equity.
(b) Book value per common share represents common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.
(c) Tangible book value per common share represents tangible common equity divided by period end common shares outstanding.
(d) Pre-tax profit margin percentages represent income before income taxes as percentages of net revenues.
(e) The Firm expense efficiency ratio represents total non‐interest expenses as a percentage of net revenues.
Page 3:
(a) Firmwide regional revenues reflect the Firm's consolidated net revenues on a managed basis.  Further discussion regarding the geographic<br> methodology for net revenues is disclosed in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (2019 Form 10-K).
(b) Liquidity Resources, which are held within the bank and non-bank operating subsidiaries, are comprised of high quality liquid assets (HQLA) and cash deposits<br> with banks ("Liquidity Resources"). The total amount of Liquidity Resources is actively managed by us considering the following components: unsecured debt maturity profile; balance sheet size and composition; funding needs in a<br> stressed environment, inclusive of contingent cash outflows; legal entity, regional and segment liquidity requirements; regulatory requirements; and collateral requirements.
(c) The Firm's goodwill and intangible balances utilized in the calculation of tangible common equity are net of allowable mortgage servicing<br> rights deduction.
Page 4:
(a) The Firm's attribution of average common equity to the business segments is based on the Required Capital framework, an internal capital<br> adequacy measure. This framework is a risk-based and leverage use-of-capital measure, which is compared with the Firm's regulatory capital to ensure that the Firm maintains an amount of going concern capital after absorbing<br> potential losses from stress events, where applicable, at a point in time.  The Required Capital framework is based on the Firm's regulatory capital requirements.  The Firm defines the difference between its total average common<br> equity and the sum of the average common equity amounts allocated to its business segments as Parent common equity.  The amount of capital allocated to the business segments is generally set at the beginning of the year, and will<br> remain fixed throughout the year until the next annual reset unless a significant business change occurs (e.g., acquisition or disposition).  The Required Capital framework is expected to evolve over time in response to changes in<br> the business and regulatory environment, for example, to incorporate changes in stress testing or enhancements to modeling techniques.  For further discussion of the framework, refer to Part II, Item 7 "Liquidity and Capital<br> Resources—Regulatory Requirements" in the Firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
(b) The Firm's risk-based capital ratios for purposes of determining regulatory compliance are the lower of the capital ratios computed under the<br> (i) standardized approaches for calculating credit risk and market risk risk-weighted assets (RWAs) (the “Standardized Approach”); and (ii) applicable advanced approaches for calculating credit risk, market risk and operational risk<br> RWAs (the “Advanced Approach”). At March 31, 2020, the Firm's ratios are based on the Advanced Approach, while at December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 were based on the Standardized Approach.  For information on the calculation of<br> regulatory capital and ratios for prior periods, please refer to Part II, Item 7 "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Regulatory Requirements" in the Firm's 2019 Form 10-K.
(c) Supplementary leverage ratio represents Tier 1 capital divided by the total supplementary leverage exposure.
Page 5:
(a) Institutional Securities Sales & Trading net revenues includes trading, net interest income (interest income less interest expense), asset<br> management, commissions and fees revenues.
(b) Pre-tax profit margin percentages represent income before income taxes as percentages of net revenues.
(c) VaR represents the loss amount that one would not expect to exceed, on average, more than five times every one hundred trading days in the<br> Firm's trading positions if the portfolio were held constant for a one-day period. Further discussion of the calculation of VaR and the limitations of the Firm's VaR methodology, is disclosed in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and<br> Qualitative Disclosures about Risk" included in the Firm's 2019 Form 10-K.
