Morgan Stanley’s investment bank weighed on overall group performance in the first quarter, as the US financial institution posted revenue declines across all business lines in the division.

Morgan Stanley is the last of the big names to report on what has been a difficult quarter for Wall Street banks. Net profits at the group fell 9% year-on-year to $2.4bn as revenues dropped 7% to $10.2bn.
