Morgan Stanley's bonus payouts for star Asia bankers to jump by up to 50%, sources say

Morgan Stanley's top-performing investment bankers and traders in Asia will see up to a 50% increase in bonuses due to robust business growth and a low-base effect of last year, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter. The jump in the bonus payouts in the region will come after the Wall Street firm saw its new CEO Ted Pick wrap up a strong first year, and it benefited from buoyant trading activities in the Asia Pacific region. The revenue of the bank's institutional equities business, one key part of its sales and trading, rose by 51% globally in the fourth quarter compared with a year ago, with the Asia business providing a strong boost to the global growth, the bank said earlier this month.
