Morgan Stanley yesterday shrugged1 off concerns that the private equity2 boom was ending by appointing Brian Magnus, its UK investment banking3 boss, as the joint4 European chief of its planned $6bn global buy-out fund.
此举突出表明，在将它回收分支部门剥离给metalmark Capital的5年之后，摩根士丹利正加紧重返私人股本业务，而此时，信贷市场的动荡正引发大家忧虑，担忧私人股本行业的迅速增长可能放缓。
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 industrys rapid growth.
马格纳斯曾参与摩根士丹利在欧洲几宗规模最大的买卖，比如佩尔诺-里卡尔公司回收饮料业角逐对手联合多美、Punch回收夜店业角逐对手Spirit，与马莎百货成功抵御菲利普?格林回收的买卖。
Mr Magnus worked on some of Morgan Stanleys biggest deals in Europe, such as Pernod Ricards takeover of drinks group rival Allied Domecq, Punchs purchase of pub rival Spirit, and Marks Spencers successful defence against Philip Green.
