Asset Services - Associate - Core Services

We're seeking someone to join our team as an Associate in the Asset services team. The Mumbai team within the Asia Pacific group is an asset servicing team responsible for managing the timely and accurate processing of corporate events, which effect security positions and entitlements held by our clients and proprietary trading desks. The group consists of two teams being the Pre-payment (research only) and Payment & Control teams.

In the Operations division, we partner with business units across the Firm to support financial transactions, devise and implement effective controls and develop client relationships. This is an Associate level position within the Shared Services Banking Operations department.

Since 1935, Morgan Stanley is known as a global leader in financial services, always evolving and innovating to better serve our clients and our communities in more than 40 countries around the world.

What You&aposll Do In The Role

• Liaising directly with agents and clients to validate corporate action events to ensure accuracy of data points and timeliness of flows. Complete extensive reviews of corporate action events to capture and send notifications to clients where applicable.
• Provide support and training to offshore vendor teams (Eclerx) as needed
• Reconciliation of Corporate Actions and Coupons - this requires diligence, accuracy and self-motivation to ensure that risk is controlled and targets are met.
