Commenting on the announcement, the Morgan Stanley Chief Operating Officer for South-East Asia, Mr Kapil Trikha, said: “Morgan Stanley recognises the importance of multi-asset class trading and also the significant role Singapore plays in the context of global financial markets. Through the SMX platform, we look forward to playing a key role in the development of commodity and derivative markets across Asia.”
The SMX Chairman, Mr Ang Swee Tian, said: “Morgan Stanley, which is an exceptionally well-diversified, borderless company, is a welcome addition to our expanding list of GCMs.”
