2 Top Capital Markets Stocks to Buy in May
Financial stocks have endured volatility in recent months, with the collapse of a few regional banks causing concern among investors. These problems appear to be limited and this has created a buying opportunity in financial companies without deposit-flight issues caught up in the selling over the past two months.
There are some good investment options in the capital markets industry. When looking at these stocks, I seek out companies with robust businesses and smart management teams in place. The two specific stocks that I like are Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ: IBKR).
Morgan Stanley provides financial services across a variety of businesses. Its most significant segment is institutional securities, where it advises companies on going public and issuing or restructuring debt in return for advisory fees. It also manages clients' wealth, earns fees on its assets under management (AUM), and owns the E*Trade trading platform, where it makes commissions and fees.
