Financing and Margin

Morgan Stanley Prime Brokerage provides hedge fund clients with stable and prudent financing, allowing for the achievement of investment objectives in accordance with regulatory and risk-based margin requirements. We are structured to deliver a wide range of services across a full range of instruments, regardless of strategy type, trade structure or product complexity.

Our dedicated global team, with demonstrated leadership in risk management, monitors and manages risk through a combination of statistical analytical tools and stress tests. We use a combined top-down and bottom-up holistic approach to create the most comprehensive margin policies, taking into account portfolio correlations and shifts as well as incorporating sensitivities to hedges.

In addition, we deliver margin efficiencies—capital efficiency, a single margin call, consolidated reporting—through our superior cross-product margining model. The team also addresses client specific trade and product issues and provides financing alternatives to support the needs of specific client groups, such as pensions and endowments.
