London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) announced on 24 October 2025 that it is selling a 20 % stake in its Post‑Trade Solutions business to a consortium of 11 global banks, including Morgan Stanley. The transaction is valued at £170 million, giving the unit a total valuation of £850 million.
The investment gives Morgan Stanley exposure to LSEG’s post‑trade risk‑management and optimisation services, broadening the firm’s financial‑technology footprint. By joining other major banks such as Bank of America, Barclays, and JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley positions itself in a growing market for post‑trade solutions that support the uncleared derivatives ecosystem.
LSEG’s Post‑Trade Solutions generated £96 million in revenue and £16 million in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in 2024. The stake sale is expected to enhance profitability for LSEG and provide Morgan Stanley with a foothold in the post‑trade market, potentially creating synergies with the firm’s trading and risk‑management operations.
