Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, plans to issue market-linked notes tied to the EURO STOXX 50 Index (SX5E). The notes offer 114%-119% upside participation on any positive index performance observed on July 31 2029, with full principal repayment at maturity even if the index declines. Key terms include a $1,000 face value, pricing on July 31 2025, and maturity on August 3 2029 (4-year term). The preliminary estimated value is $958.80 (≈95.9% of face), reflecting issuance and hedging costs.
Key structural features
- No periodic coupons; all return realized at maturity.
- Amount payable depends solely on index level at the single observation date; interim movements are irrelevant.
- Notes will not be listed, and secondary liquidity may be limited.
- Credit exposure to Morgan Stanley; MS Finance LLC is a wholly owned funding vehicle without independent assets.
Principal risk highlights
- Investors may earn only principal if SX5E is flat or negative.
- The 4.1% issue-price premium versus estimated value creates negative yield if held to maturity without index appreciation.
- Market value can be volatile, influenced by MS credit spreads and trading in related instruments.
- Investors may incur taxable income annually under U.S. OID rules.
Overall, the product suits investors seeking European equity exposure with principal protection and are comfortable with MS credit risk and the lack of interim income.
