Additionally, the Global Futures and Derivatives Clearing Services group will report to Hendel and Denis Manelski. Manelski will also continue as head of Global Short Rates Trading.
"Financing and prime brokerage services are an integral part of our client offering, and we have made substantial progress adding clients and balances in the last several years," said Mike Stewart. "Under Stu's leadership, we look to aggressively build on that success and establish the industry's leading prime brokerage platform."
"A well-respected industry veteran with outstanding client relationships, Stu has a proven track record of managing and expanding global prime brokerage businesses," said Tom Patrick. "We are very pleased to welcome him as a member of our leadership team."

In 2007, he returned to Morgan Stanley as global head of Prime Brokerage, and since 2009, he has been head of Global Prime Services at UBS.
