Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) has become of immense interest to elite investors in recent months. Hedge funds are betting on a massive resurgence in investment banking fees as corporate boardrooms re-engage in deal-making.

While other banks face volatile trading revenue, hedge funds value Morgan Stanley for its massive, fee-based Wealth Management arm. The firm is well on its way to its stated goal of $10 trillion in client assets. This provides a recurring revenue model that hedge funds find more predictable than traditional lending.
