As the UAE continues to recover from the economic crisis, the role that institutional brokers have played should not be underestimated.

Following very strong nominations for several brokers, the CFI.co Judging Panel is delighted to declare Morgan Stanley winner of the award ‘Best Institutional Broker UAE 2013’.

The panel found that Morgan Stanley’s creative solution-based approach has made a significant contribution to sustainable growth. Morgan Stanley’s international position as a prime brokerage has been well leveraged by the team in the UAE who are providing an essential interface between domestic and international markets. Morgan Stanley strives to implement best-in-class ideas and successfully combines innovation with careful risk management. The results have been good returns for investors that focus on the long and medium term.

The panel feels that as markets in the region (particularly the Saudi Arabian Market) open up Morgan Stanley’s work in the UAE will stand out as an example of what can be achieved.
