Morgan Stanley cut about 2% of its global staff on Tuesday, according to people with knowledge of the layoffs.

The moves impacted about 1,600 of the company’s 81,567 employees and touched nearly every corner of the global investment bank, said the people, who declined to be identified speaking about terminations.
