Morgan Stanley to cut 1,600 jobs

The Financial Times reports Morgan Stanley will cut 1,600 employees from its institutional securities group, a 6% reduction.

“James Gorman, Morgan Stanley chief executive, told the Financial Times in October that there was ‘way too much capacity and compensation is way too high’ in the banking industry,” the report says.

The firm cut 4,000 jobs last year.
