MORGAN Stanley will grow its wealth management business in the region at a quicker clip than before, with plans to set up a China desk in Singapore to cater to private wealth flowing through the next economic powerhouse, said Ronald Ong, Morgan Stanley's chairman and chief executive for South-east Asia.
