Morgan Stanley is growing its global fixed-income strategy team under Amy Falls, who heads the group out of New York. It has added Carlos Nogueira, a principal who previously did quantitative research in emerging markets and high-yield at the firm, to its global fixed income strategy team. Falls says the group is also looking for a candidate with strong writing skills to help her craft a weekly 10-page research piece. The firm may hire at the v.p. level, though it could also employ a less senior candidate to grow into the position. Nogueira says his new role will have a global focus across asset classes. His previous position has been eliminated.
Separately,Greg Peters has been appointed U.S. high-yield strategist at Morgan Stanley, filling a position Falls vacated some six months ago when she became global head. Peters says he will continue to report to Steve Zamsky, the firm's investment-grade strategist, but will give up the bulk of his investment-grade responsibilities.
