Why does the electron have a magnetic moment?

Hi.

I thought magnetic moment arose from closed loops of charge currents. How does then the angular momentum of the electron produce a magnetic moment? I mean, the electron is not a loop.

Am I wrong in my initial assumption or am I understanding things too "classically"?

Thanks.
