Founded in 1972, Trust Company of America (TCA) specialized in serving the needs of the independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) market. The company provided a comprehensive platform that integrated technology and custodial services, enabling advisors to manage client portfolios, execute trades, and handle administrative tasks efficiently. In October 2017, E*TRADE Financial Corporation announced its acquisition of TCA for $275 million in cash. The acquisition was completed in April 2018, and TCA's platform and services were subsequently integrated into "E*TRADE Advisor Services." Following Morgan Stanley's acquisition of E*TRADE in 2020, these services have been further integrated into Morgan Stanley's wealth management offerings for advisors.
