Morgan Stanley appoints global executive to Irish role

Morgan Stanley has appointed Paul Price, global head of distribution at its investment management unit, to head a Dublin investment arm as it prepares for Brexit.

Mr Price became chief executive of MSIM Ireland late last year, according to his LinkedIn profile. He joined Morgan Stanley in London in 2010 from Pioneer Investments, where he was head of institutional business for four years.

The Irish executive will continue to perform his global role alongside his new responsibilities, according to an spokesman for Morgan Stanley.

Mr Price is based in Dublin, where the bank has had a presence since 2006 through its fund-services unit.
