Hi All,
Curious to hear which Morgan Stanley Groups do M&A in house? I know that a lot of the groups outsource their M&A to the MS M&A Group, but I would like to know which ones do not.
Please let me know!

4 groups do it. Definitely media & telecom and real estate, and then I think FIG. Not sure on last one.

P&U as well. Spoke to some contacts in the group, great group with great culture.
Does the Morgan Stanley Transportation Group do M&A in house?
bump
Typically FIG, RE, and GPUG keep all M&A in house because those sectors are seen as different. There isn't a hard line, but generally larger deals - say 1BN+ - get pushed to M&A while the remainder stay in house. That said even if M&A comes in that doesn't mean you are completely out in all cases - you will still likely contribute to materials prep. But you might not be the day to day guy
Is being in those groups, over normal coverage, seen as an advantage since you get some M&A experience, as well?
No. Sure, M&A is great experienced but it's not like you'll be useless under the scenario I laid out. Don't make a group decision off of this, at least at MS.
Thanks, that's what I thought.
