Profile

Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital is a private investment platform targeting late-stage growth equity and credit investments in technology, healthcare, consumer, digital media and other high-growth sectors.

We specialize in making equity and credit investments in technology and other high-growth sectors, such as healthcare, digital media, e-commerce, consumer and business services. Our team predominantly invests in North America and Western Europe. Our focus is on late-stage private companies, largely with established products and services addressing established markets seeking capital to scale revenue and expand business operations.



In addition to capital, the team relies on its industry experience to drive strategic growth, improve board governance, optimize capital structures, enhance operational efficiency, recruit senior executives and advise on strategic and financial liquidity. We seek to leverage the Morgan Stanley global brand, insights, resources and relationships in all our investment activities.



Investments typically range from $10 million - $25 million per transaction but there may be additional size flexibility through syndicate and co-investor relationships. Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital typically leads investments, but will also co-lead and participate in syndicated opportunities.
