Europe
Europe's blend of regional interests and local conditions plays to Morgan Stanley's strength: our worldwide and regional capabilities are matched by a deep understanding of each country's circumstances.
We are building on areas where we've established leadership, and pioneering new ones: advising on historic mergers and acquisitions across the continent; managing record public offerings in Russia; leading the field in European prime brokerage and real estate; introducing cross-asset platforms that provide European individual investors access to Morgan Stanley's global expertise in research, trading and distribution; and being the first investment bank to arrange microfinance securitisations—providing funding to almost 200,000 micro-entrepreneurs in around 20 developing countries.
The London office, located in the financial hub of Canary Wharf, serves as headquarters for the firm's European operations and has over 5,000 staff. In addition, more than 3,000 people are located in the firm's other European offices in Amsterdam, Athens, Budapest, Frankfurt, Geneva, Glasgow, Istanbul, Luxembourg, Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Munich, Paris, Stockholm, and Zurich.
In Europe, as around the world, our success depends on creating an environment where diverse people devoted to excellence can thrive and grow. On the Sales & Trading floor in London alone, more than two dozen different nationalities are represented—and within the European region overall, 88 different languages are spoken by nationals of 109 different countries.
Morgan Stanley's European offices are routinely honoured by appearing in the annual "best places to work" surveys in publications such as the Financial Times and The Sunday Times.
