Financial Times- A hedge fund manager who made some of the biggest profits from the global credit crisis said on Wednesday there was worse to come as evidence mounted that banks are struggling to regain their earnings power and properly value their assets.
Morgan Stanley said second-quarter profits plunged 60 per cent to $1bn and would have fallen further without $1.4bn in one-time asset sales, while revealing that it had suspended a suspected rogue trader for allegedly mismarking positions by $120m.
