A Morgan Stanley employee accidentally emailed an internal document containing details of more than 100 investment-banking transactions the firm is pursuing and advising on across Asia, according to people familiar with the matter.
The list included potential IPO candidates from China, South Korea and India, along with companies backed by private-equity and pension funds. It also covered projects across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, including deals that had been put on hold, according to a copy reviewed by Bloomberg News.
The document was sent earlier this week, and the employee later attempted to retract it. A blurred copy was also posted on Instagram. Morgan Stanley said it immediately took steps to address the accidental disclosure and emphasized its commitment to client confidentiality.
The incident highlights the sensitivity of investment-banking information, particularly potential IPOs, mergers and other transactions.
