About

Headquarters: New York
Group market value: £220bn

Morgan Stanley is an American investment bank whose London office is its base for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Its main businesses are investment banking, sales and trading, research, and investment and wealth management.

Its bankers advise companies on mergers and acquisitions and help them raise money through shares and bonds, organised by industry, such as financial institutions or power and utilities. The fixed income division trades interest rates, currencies and credit for large investors, including electronic currency trading run largely by computers, and the equities division is one of the biggest share traders in the world.

A junior analyst in banking builds models, writes pitch material and handles the detail of live deals for a sector or a region. In sales and trading, a junior prices trades, explains market moves to clients and helps manage the team's positions. The division a junior joins decides how the job feels, even within the same building.
