“One client at a time” (Morgan Stanley)
Morgan Stanley is one of the world's largest financial firms. "One client at a time" is its relatively new slogan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Stanley
Morgan Stanley was founded in New York on September 5, 1935, by Henry S. Morgan, and Harold Stanley of J. P. Morgan & Co. along with others from Drexel & Co. This split of the commercial and investment banks came as a result of the Glass-Steagall Act. Within its first year it achieved 24% of market share among public offerings. In 1964 Morgan Stanley created the first computer model for financial analysis. By 1971 the Mergers & Acquisitions business was established along with Sales & Trading. In 1986 Morgan Stanley Group, Inc. became publicly listed.

In 1996, Morgan Stanley acquired Van Kampen American Capital (website), a respected mutual fund company.

On February 5, 1997, the company was acquired by Dean Witter, Discover & Co. (a.k.a. Dean Witter Reynolds) the spun-off financial services business of Sears Roebuck. The merged company was briefly known as "Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Discover & Co." until 1998 when it was known as "Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co." until late 2001. To foster brand recognition and marketing the Dean Witter name was dropped and the firm became "Morgan Stanley". The merger was controversial, and the firm lost some of its blue chip status with its corporate client base.
