Clearance and Custody
Morgan Stanley’s robust clearance and custody system provides timely, consistent and accurate information on trades. We can clear and custody a variety of assets—including equity, fixed-income and foreign exchange products, as well as options, swaps, warrants, futures and other derivatives.
Our multi-asset class, multi-currency system integrates the entire trade cycle, preventing the inconsistencies that result when separate margin, portfolio, clearance and custody and portfolio management systems feed position information to clients. This is especially valuable internationally, when dealing with different market practices, accounting standards and time zones.
Morgan Stanley assures maximum control over core processes by maintaining our own global clearance and custody network, which includes self-clearing operations that let us pass along cost savings in the largest markets.
We have active clearing arrangements in more than 60 countries, many of which operate with varying technology platforms. Morgan Stanley has the ability to pre-match in all international markets where we are providing custody and clearing, and we can also report trade discrepancies on pre-settlement and failing items via the same online functionality for many of the above mentioned product types. Any unmatched transactions are immediately communicated to clients for resolution. |
Morgan Stanley’s Prime Brokerage division offers a workplace culture that is like no other in the industry.  |
