A top executive at Morgan Stanley(MWD) is leaving to join up with a new investment-banking firm being formed by former Morgan Stanley banker Joseph Perella.
Jon Anda's departure from Morgan Stanley was confirmed by Perella in a press release issued late Wednesday. Perella made the announcement after a story appeared on the online edition of The Wall Street Journal. Anda had been co-head of global capital markets at Morgan Stanley.

Perella left even though Purcell had named him vice chairman in an attempt to keep him aboard.
