02:41 PM EDT, 04/15/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Morgan Stanley (MS) plans to raise $10 billion in one of the largest bond sales by a Wall Street bank, following its Q1 results, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The bank's four-part offering has maturities ranging from 4 to 11 years, the report said. The longest tenured security is set to yield 1.02 percentage points above Treasuries, compared with initial discussions of about 1.25 percentage points, the person told the media outlet.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, according to the report.

Morgan Stanley (MS) did not immediately respond to a request for comment by MT Newswires.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
