Morgan Stanley says SEC seeking details on advisory account cash balances

(Reuters) -Morgan Stanley said on Monday it had received requests from the enforcement division of the U.S. securities regulator regarding advisory account cash balances swept to affiliate bank deposit programs.

The company said it was in talks with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission since April over the matter.

Separately, the firm also disclosed that it has reached a conditional settlement agreement to resolve a 2017 lawsuit related to the initial public offering of marine fuel oil supplier OW Bunker.

Morgan Stanley was among the defendants named in the lawsuit, which alleged the underwriters had misled institutional investors about the 2014 listing of OW Bunker.
