Offering overview: Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is issuing $1.595 million of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 30, 2026, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each $1,000 principal-at-risk note pays no fixed interest and is linked to the worst performer of the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index (NDXT) and the S&P 500 Index (SPX).
Income feature: A contingent coupon calculated at an annual rate of 9.50% (≈ $7.917 per monthly interest period) is paid only when, on the relevant observation date, the closing level of each index is at least 80 % of its initial level (coupon barrier: NDXT 9,240.208; SPX 4,938.456). Investors could receive few—or no—coupons if either index trades below its barrier.
Early redemption: Beginning with the first determination date on December 29 2025, the notes will be automatically called if both indices close at or above 100 % of their initial levels (11,550.26 for NDXT; 6,173.07 for SPX). The early redemption payment equals the $1,000 principal plus the contingent coupon for the period; no further payments are made thereafter.
Maturity payment: If not called, and both indices finish at or above their 80 % downside thresholds on July 27 2026, holders receive par plus any final coupon. If either index is below its threshold, repayment equals $1,000 multiplied by the performance of the worst-performing index, exposing investors to 1 % loss of principal for every 1 % decline, with potential loss of entire investment.
Pricing & distribution: Issue price $1,000; estimated value on pricing date $972.40 (reflecting internal funding rate and transaction costs). Agents earn a fixed $15 selling concession per note. The securities are not listed on any exchange, and secondary liquidity depends solely on MS&Co’s market-making discretion.
Key risks: 1) No principal protection; 2) Uncertain, contingent income; 3) Equity market, sector concentration and correlation risks; 4) Early call risk limits upside; 5) Credit exposure to Morgan Stanley; 6) Valuation likely to trail issue price; 7) Limited secondary market; 8) Uncertain U.S. tax treatment and possible 30 % withholding for non-U.S. holders.
Target investors: Yield-seeking investors comfortable with short-dated structured notes, equity index risk and potential total loss of principal, who do not require liquidity and accept Morgan Stanley credit exposure.
Offering overview. Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is marketing $1,000-denominated Jump Securities with an auto-callable feature linked to the worst performer of three U.S. equity benchmarks—the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU), Nasdaq-100 (NDX) and Russell 2000 (RTY). The notes are unsecured, carry Morgan Stanley’s guarantee, and form part of the Series A Global MTN program. They do not pay coupons and place principal at risk.
Key terms.
- Strike / Pricing date: 31 Jul 2025 Issue date: 5 Aug 2025 Maturity: 5 Aug 2030
- Denomination: $1,000 per note Estimated value: ≈ $956.70 (4.3 % issuance premium)
- Automatic early redemption: One observation only, 5 Aug 2026. If each index closes ≥ its initial level (100 %), investors receive $1,197.50–$1,227.50 (≈ +19.75 % to +22.75 %) and the trade terminates.
- Pay-off at maturity (if not called):
- If every index closes > its initial level → $1,000 + 150 % participation in the gain of the worst performer.
- If the worst performer ends ≤ initial but ≥ 70 % → return of principal only.
- If the worst performer ends < 70 % → principal is reduced 1 % for each 1 % decline (full downside exposure) and could be zero.
- Downside threshold: 70 % of each index’s initial level (30 % buffer).
- Listing: none; secondary liquidity depends solely on MS & Co.
- Fees: Sold exclusively to fee-based advisory accounts; no sales commission but a structuring fee up to $6.25 per note. Embedded issuance/hedging costs make the estimated value lower than issue price.
Risk highlights. Investors face full market risk on the three indices and Morgan Stanley’s credit risk. The single observation date limits call probability; if not triggered, investors may be exposed to four additional years of market volatility. Market value may trade well below par because of bid/offer spreads, issuer funding advantage and lack of exchange listing. Tax treatment is uncertain; notes are expected to be treated as open-transaction prepaid forward contracts.
Investor profile. Suitable only for investors who:
- seek equity-linked upside with an initial 30 % buffer and one-year call opportunity;
- can tolerate complete loss of principal;
- do not need periodic income and are comfortable with limited liquidity and complex tax reporting.
