Despite running the bank for more than a decade, Morgan Stanley boss James Gorman says he won't be stepping down any time soon.

When asked if he was thinking of retiring in the near-term at the bank’s annual meeting of shareholders on 26 May, the 63-year old said “‘soon’ is the operative word and the answer to that is no”.
