Morgan Stanley has hired Carl Mason, an equity derivative strategist at Deutsche Bank in New York, in a similar role. Well-regarded in the market, Mason focused on current active areas such as volatility, dispersion and correlation instruments at the German firm. A Morgan Stanley official confirmed he will be an addition to its equity derivatives business but was unable to comment on reporting line or title.
Renée Calabro, spokeswoman at Deutsche Bank in New York, did not comment on a replacement for Mason by press time.
