Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Dual Directional Buffered Jump Securities linked to the S&P 500® Index, with an aggregate principal amount of $2,059,000 and a stated principal amount of $1,000 per security, maturing on August 15, 2030. The securities pay no interest and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with principal at risk and no FDIC insurance.
At maturity, if the S&P 500® final level is at or above the initial level of 7,748.50, investors receive principal plus a fixed upside payment of $320 (32%). If the index is below the initial level but at or above the buffer level of 6,198.80 (80% of initial), investors receive principal plus a positive return equal to 400% of the index’s absolute percentage decline, capped so the total gain does not exceed 80%. If the index finishes below the buffer, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline beyond the 20% buffer, subject to a minimum payment at maturity of 20% of principal.
The issue price is $1,000 per security, while the estimated value on the pricing date is $992, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs borne by investors. All payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit; market value can be volatile and secondary liquidity may be limited.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering $601,000 of Contingent Income Memory Buffered Auto-Callable Securities due August 15, 2031, at $1,000 per security, linked to the S&P U.S. Equity Momentum 40% VT 4% Decrement Index and fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The notes pay a 9.50% per annum contingent coupon only when the index is at or above the coupon barrier of 824.454 (60% of the initial level 1,374.09). They are automatically called if the index is at or above the call threshold of 1,374.09 on scheduled redemption determination dates, returning principal plus due and unpaid coupons.
If not called, and the final index level is at or above the buffer level of 1,167.977 (85% of initial), investors receive full principal back (plus any payable coupons). Below the buffer, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, subject to a minimum payment at maturity of 15% of principal. The estimated value on the pricing date is $899.40 per security, below the issue price, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Structured Investments Buffered PLUS, principal-at-risk notes maturing August 15, 2031, linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and issue price, with an aggregate principal amount of $1,423,000.
The notes pay no interest. At maturity, investors get leveraged upside of 206% of any index gain above the initial level of 618.41; if the index finishes between the initial level and the 80% buffer level (494.728), only principal is returned. Below the buffer, losses are 1% for each 1% further decline, subject to a minimum payment of 20% of principal. The estimated value on the pricing date is $974.70 per security, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs. All payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit and there may be limited or no secondary market liquidity.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Dual Directional Buffered Jump Securities linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on August 15, 2031. These unsecured notes, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, pay no interest and expose investors to principal risk.
Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and issue price, with an aggregate principal amount of $2,734,000. If the index’s final level is at or above the initial level of 7,748.50, holders receive principal plus a fixed upside payment of $432.50 (43.25%), regardless of how high the index rises. If the index declines but stays at or above the buffer level of 6,198.80 (80% of the initial level), investors receive principal plus a positive return equal to the absolute underlier return multiplied by a 400% participation rate, effectively capped at an 80% gain.
If the final level falls below the buffer level, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% index decline beyond the 20% buffer, subject to a minimum payment at maturity of 20% of principal. The estimated value on the pricing date is $986.80 per security, below the $1,000 issue price, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs and the issuer’s funding rate. The notes are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, limited liquidity, and uncertain U.S. tax treatment.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Contingent Income Buffered Auto-Callable Securities due August 16, 2029, linked to the worst performer of the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) and VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX). Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays a 10.50% per annum contingent coupon only when both ETFs close at or above their coupon barrier levels (70% of initial levels) on scheduled observation dates.
The notes may be automatically called quarterly from August 2027 onward if both underliers are at or above their call thresholds (100% of initial levels), in which case investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and no further payments. At maturity, if not called, investors receive principal back only if both final levels are at or above the 20% buffer level (80% of initial levels); otherwise, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst underlier beyond the 20% buffer, subject to a minimum payment of 20% of principal. The aggregate principal offered is $2,429,000, and the estimated value on the pricing date is $932.30 per $1,000, reflecting issuer and structuring costs.

Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is issuing principal-at-risk callable contingent income securities due August 15, 2031, linked to the worst performer of the EURO STOXX 50®, Nasdaq-100® and Russell 2000® indices. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, with a total offering of $900,000, and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
Investors may receive a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 11.10%, payable only if on each observation date all three indices close at or above their coupon barrier levels, set at 70% of their initial levels. The notes are callable in whole on scheduled redemption dates if a risk neutral valuation model indicates early redemption is economically rational for Morgan Stanley; once redeemed, no further payments are made.
If not redeemed early, principal is repaid at maturity only if each index’s final level is at or above its downside threshold level, set at 60% of its initial level. Otherwise, the payoff is reduced 1% for every 1% decline in the worst-performing index, down to zero, so investors can lose their entire investment. The estimated value on the pricing date is $981.80 per security, below the issue price due to embedded costs, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
Morgan Stanley (MS), via Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Contingent Income Memory Auto-Callable Securities linked to the Nasdaq‑100 Index®, maturing August 27, 2027. The notes are unsecured, principal-at-risk obligations of MSFL, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The securities have a stated principal amount of $1,000 per note and an aggregate principal amount of $540,000, issued at 100% of face value. They pay a contingent coupon at 10.04% per annum only if, on each observation date, the index is at or above the coupon barrier level of 22,144.11 (75% of the initial level of 29,525.48). Missed coupons can be paid later (“memory”) if a future observation meets the barrier.
The notes are auto-callable on specified redemption determination dates if the index is at or above the call threshold level of 29,525.48; in that case investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons, and the notes terminate. If not redeemed and at maturity the index is at or above the downside threshold level of 22,144.11, investors receive full principal plus any due coupons; if below, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% index decline, potentially to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is $985.80 per note, below the issue price, reflecting fees, hedging and structuring costs, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s and MSFL’s credit risk.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering $7,390,690 of Trigger Step Securities linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each Security has a $10 principal amount and a 5-year term from August 17, 2026 to August 15, 2031, with no periodic interest or dividends.
If the Final Level of the index on August 13, 2031 is at or above the Step Barrier, equal to 100% of the Initial Level of 6,545.47, investors receive $10 plus the greater of a fixed 56.00% Step Return or the index return. If the Final Level is below the Step Barrier but at or above the Downside Threshold of 4,909.10 (approximately 75% of the Initial Level), principal is repaid at $10. If the Final Level is below the Downside Threshold, repayment is $10 plus the full negative Underlying Return, and investors can lose up to all principal.
The Issue Price is $10.00 per Security, including a $0.35 underwriting discount, resulting in proceeds to Morgan Stanley of $9.65 per Security before hedging. The estimated value on the trade date is $9.548 per Security, reflecting structuring and hedging costs. Payments are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC and Morgan Stanley, and there may be little or no secondary market.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering $1,508,000 of Trigger PLUS structured notes due August 14, 2031, each with a $1,000 stated principal amount, under its global medium-term notes program. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley but pay no interest and do not guarantee principal repayment.
Returns depend on the worst performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF. If that underlier finishes above its initial level, investors receive principal plus 133.50% of its gain. If it finishes between 50% and 100% of its initial level, investors receive only principal. Below 50%, principal falls 1% for each 1% decline, with no minimum, so losses can reach 100%. The estimated value on the pricing date is $994 per $1,000 note, reflecting embedded costs, and investors also face issuer credit risk, limited liquidity and uncertain U.S. tax treatment.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering $7,345,990 of five-year Trigger GEARS, principal-at-risk notes linked to a weighted basket of international equity indices: EURO STOXX 50 (40%), Nikkei 225 (25%), FTSE 100 (17.5%), Swiss Market Index (10%) and S&P/ASX 200 (7.5%).
Each $10 Security pays at maturity: if the Basket Return is positive, $10 plus 1.65× the positive Basket Return; if the Basket Return is zero or negative but the Final Basket Level is at or above the Downside Threshold of 75% of the Initial Basket Level, $10; if below the Downside Threshold, $10 plus $10×Basket Return, exposing investors to full downside and potential total loss of principal.
The notes pay no interest or dividends, are unsecured obligations of MSFL fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and have an estimated value on the trade date of $9.470 per $10, below the issue price due to structuring, distribution and hedging costs. Proceeds are for general corporate purposes, and secondary market liquidity is not assured.
