SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Plans to raise cash by selling stock battered shares in Invesco, Ltd., MSCI, Inc. and Penn Virginia in Monday's late-trading session.

Invesco (IVZ 14.55, -1.03, -6.61%)  shares slid 5.3% to $14.70 after the investment manager said it plans to sell $400 million common shares.

MSCI, Inc. (MXB 21.00, -2.48, -10.56%)  shares tumbled 11% to $21 after Morgan Stanley (MS 28.09, -0.19, -0.67%)  said it was selling its remaining stake in the provider of indexes. The offering will consist of 27.7 million shares of MSCI class A common stock. Morgan Stanley shares sank 0.8%.
