Can Morgan Stanley's CEO build a better bank?

Ted Pick became chief executive of Morgan Stanley earlier this year. In a recent letter to shareholders, he touted “the integrated firm” as a model for the bank's future.

Also we short the US housing market and summer in New York City. For a free 30-day trial to the Unhedged newsletter go to: https://www.ft.com/unhedgedofferYou can email Robert Armstrong at [email protected] and Katie Martin at [email protected] a transcript of this episode on FT.com Hosted on Acast.
