Morgan Stanley overhauled leadership at a troubled currency-trading unit that lost tens of millions of dollars on emerging-market deals last year and is the target of an internal probe.
Alex Silverman and Roland Jeurissen are being promoted to co-heads of the FX options unit at Morgan Stanley, according to people familiar with the matter. The business had been previously overseen by Thiago Melzer, a senior Morgan Stanley trader who has been linked to an internal review of trading practices at the division, Bloomberg has reported.
