Haberin tamamı

After Morgan Stanley’s leak of internal deal information in a client email, rival investment banks in Hong Kong are aggressively moving to poach clients dissatisfied with the breach, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Competitors are actively approaching companies named in the leaked document to pitch for their business, two rival bankers said, asking not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the issue.

An accidental disclosure of confidential information by a Morgan Stanley employee this week has sent ripples through the investment banking industry, with rival firms moving quickly to capitalise on the leak and bolster their own deal pitches.

All banks had similar business contacts to those in the leaked document, one of the rival bankers said, so investment banks would definitely contact the clients to try and win their business.

In a statement on Thursday, Morgan Stanley said it “promptly took steps to address this inadvertent sharing of information and we continue to engage with relevant parties”.

Stephen Law Cheuk-kin, president of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, said even if initial assessments suggested the leak was human error, the matter remained a serious breach as information resilience was now a core element of banking operations.

“Safeguarding confidential client and transaction information is fundamental to trust, market integrity and Hong Kong’s reputation as an international financial centre,” Law said.

The affected clients have not taken legal action against Morgan Stanley or requested a replacement sponsor, according to one of the sources.

“They are just angry,” the source noted. “I don’t expect any legal action.”

Without proof of actual losses, pursuing legal recourse would be difficult, especially given that the leaked file was an internal document and not a formal legal agreement, the source said.

The attached file detailed more than 100 transactions the bank was currently executing or monitoring, including regions and financing channels, according to people who received the email.

However, no specific deal terms were disclosed and a significant number of the listed transactions were already public knowledge, people who saw the email said.

Following the breach, rival firms began reminding staff to double-check email attachments to avoid similar missteps, according to a person familiar with internal bank communications.

“The Morgan Stanley incident is a wake-up call for other banks and companies to review [whether] their email systems have any loopholes,” another source said. “Some big banks already use artificial intelligence to help prevent sending out documents with client information to external parties by mistake.”

Steve Vickers, CEO of Steve Vickers & Associates, a specialist corporate risk consultancy based in Hong Kong, said Morgan Stanley probably needed an internal review of its classification system and oversight of access to confidential documents.

“When investigating these things, you need to determine whether it’s a system problem, a people problem or a systemic error in how they protect data,” he said. “Normally, it’s not just one factor – it’s a combination of two or three factors.”

“Replacing the Wall Street firm as a sponsor is not a practical option for companies preparing to list,” said the source who spoke about legal action. That is because changing an IPO sponsor triggers a mandatory two-month cooling-off period before a listing application can be resubmitted under Securities and Futures Commission rules.

There was no real benefit for clients to swap sponsors, the source added.
