(Reuters) – Morgan Stanley plans to cut up to 25 percent of its
fixed-income jobs, Bloomberg reported, citing people with familiar with
the matter.
The workforce reduction will be across all regions and
is set to take place in the next two weeks, Bloomberg said, citing two
of the people.
Morgan Stanley declined to comment on the Bloomberg story.
The
Wall Street bank reported a 42 percent slide in bond trading in the
third quarter, one of its worst performances since the financial crisis.
Ted
Pick, who was in charge of the company’s equities business, was picked
by Chief Executive James Gorman last month to oversee its entire trading
business to facilitate better coordination between the firm’s bond and
equities desks.
The company’s shares, which have fallen 12.9 percent this year up to Friday’s close, were up 1.3 percent in afternoon trading.
