摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)昨日任命其英國投行業(yè)務(wù)主管布萊恩?馬格納斯(Brian Magnus)出任歐洲聯(lián)席總裁，負(fù)責(zé)公司擬議中規(guī)模為60億美元的全球收購基金，表明該公司并不理會有關(guān)私人股本熱潮即將結(jié)束的擔(dān)憂。
    Morgan Stanley yesterday shrugged off concerns that the private equity boom was ending by appointing Brian Magnus, its UK investment banking boss, as the joint European chief of its planned $6bn (€4.3bn) global buy-out fund.
    此舉突出表明，在將其收購分支部門剝離給Metalmark Capital的5年之后，摩根士丹利正加緊重返私人股本業(yè)務(wù)，而此時，信貸市場的動蕩正引發(fā)人們憂慮，擔(dān)心私人股本行業(yè)的快速增長可能放緩。
    The move underlines how Morgan Stanley is rushing back into private equity, five years after spinning off its buy-out arm into Metalmark Capital and just as credit market wobbles are sparking fears about a slowdown in the industry’s rapid growth.
    馬格納斯曾參與摩根士丹利在歐洲幾宗規(guī)模的交易，例如佩爾諾-里卡爾公司(Pernod Ricard)收購飲料業(yè)競爭對手聯(lián)合多美(Allied Domecq)、Punch收購酒吧業(yè)競爭對手Spirit，以及馬莎百貨(Marks & Spencer)成功抵御菲利普?格林(Philip Green)收購的交易。
    Mr Magnus worked on some of Morgan Stanley’s biggest deals in Europe, such as Pernod Ricard’s takeover of drinks group rival Allied Domecq, Punch’s purchase of pub rival Spirit, and Marks & Spencer’s successful defence against Philip Green.
