Morgan Stanley targets over-sold sectors with new structured products

Morgan Stanley, the US investment bank, has launched four structured products in the UK with a view to attracting investors to markets that have suffered sharp declines.

Two of the products offer access to UK commercial property and Asia ex-Japan equity. Both markets have suffered dramatic declines this year.

In addition, the FTSE Capital Plus and FTSE Protected Growth products are more traditional structured products for the UK market, offering exposure to UK equity in the medium to long term.

The plans have minimum investments of £3,000 and are open for direct investment, stocks and shares ISA investments and transfers of existing ISAs.

Relocation, relocation, relocation

Banks have never been shy of firing staff at the merest whiff of a downturn. First the fat, then the muscle and finally the bone. In the past, cuts have been so deep that firms have found it hard to benefit when the markets rebounded, paying over the odds to restaff at speed. Such wild oscillations in staffing numbers are known as “doing a Merrill”.
