MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities (PLUS) due August 21, 2031, linked to the worst performer among the iShares S&P 500 Growth ETF, the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index and the S&P 500 Index. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays no interest.
At maturity, if every underlier finishes above its initial level, holders receive $1,000 plus a leveraged return equal to 168% of the gain of the worst-performing underlier. If at least one underlier is at or below its initial level but all remain at or above the 75% buffer level (a 25% buffer), investors receive only $1,000. If any underlier ends below its buffer level, investors lose 1.3333% of principal for each 1% decline of the worst performer beyond the 25% buffer, with no minimum repayment; principal loss can be total.
The notes are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and all payments are subject to their credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $993.30 per $1,000 note, reflecting issuer costs, which may reduce secondary market prices and liquidity.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering $3,240,000 of Step Down Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the iShares Semiconductor ETF. The notes pay no interest and are fully principal-at-risk unsecured obligations of MSFL, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
Beginning August 19, 2027, on quarterly Observation Dates, the notes are automatically called if the ETF’s closing price is at or above the $546.61 Initial Price on any of the first eight dates, or at or above the $355.30 Downside Threshold on the final date. If called, investors receive $10 principal plus a fixed Call Return based on a 21.64% per annum Call Return Rate (up to a 64.92% Call Return, or $16.492, at final call).
If the notes are not called and the Final Price is below the Downside Threshold, repayment at maturity is $10 × (1 + Underlying Return), resulting in a loss proportionate to the full decline in the ETF, down to a total loss of principal. Investors do not participate in any ETF upside beyond the fixed Call Returns, face limited or no secondary market liquidity, and bear Morgan Stanley credit risk. The issue price is $10 per note, with an estimated value on the trade date of $9.77.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk structured notes linked to the S&P® 500 Futures 40% Intraday 4% Decrement VT Index, with a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000 per security and an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $954.20 per security.
The notes pay a contingent coupon at 16.40% per annum, but only if the index closing level on an observation date is at or above the 70% coupon barrier; missed coupons may be paid later if the barrier is met. The notes are automatically called if on any redemption determination date the index is at or above 100% of the initial level, returning principal plus the relevant coupon and any unpaid coupons, with no further payments.
If not called, at maturity in August 2031 investors receive principal back only if the final index level is at or above the 60% downside threshold; otherwise, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% index decline, potentially to zero. Investors do not participate in index upside, face Morgan Stanley credit risk, limited or no secondary liquidity, and complex, uncertain tax treatment.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing September 30, 2027. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, pays no interest and is an unsecured obligation of MSFL, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
At maturity, investors receive leveraged upside of 110% of any S&P 500® gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,147.50 (114.75% of principal). Losses begin if the index falls more than the 10% buffer; the minimum payment is 10% of principal. All payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $989.10 per security, below the $1,000 issue price due to issuance, structuring and hedging costs. Liquidity may be limited, with secondary prices influenced by Morgan Stanley’s credit spreads, market volatility and dealer pricing models, and U.S. tax treatment is described as uncertain.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through its subsidiary Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities linked to the S&P 500® Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, pays no interest, and matures on September 16, 2027.
At maturity, if the S&P 500 final level is at or above the buffer level (85% of the initial level), holders receive $1,000 plus a fixed upside payment of at least $75.70 (7.57%), capping upside even if the index rises sharply. If the final level is below the buffer, principal is reduced by 1.1765% for every 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, with no minimum payment, so the investment can lose all principal. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $984.90 per $1,000 security, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs and Morgan Stanley’s credit spreads; secondary market prices are expected to be lower than the issue price and liquidity may be limited.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Contingent Income Buffered Auto-Callable Securities due August 29, 2031, linked to the S&P® 500 Futures 40% Intraday 4% Decrement VT Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000 and does not pay regular interest.
Investors may receive a contingent coupon at 15.00% per annum on scheduled payment dates, but only if the index level on the relevant observation date is at or above the coupon barrier level of 75% of the initial level. The notes are auto-callable on specified redemption determination dates if the index is at or above the call threshold level of 100% of the initial level, in which case holders receive principal plus the applicable coupon and no further payments.
If the notes are not redeemed early, at maturity investors receive principal in full only if the final index level is at or above the buffer level of 85% of the initial level. Below that, repayment is reduced by the index loss beyond the 15% buffer, but not below the minimum payment of 15% of principal, so a substantial loss of capital is possible. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $914.10 per $1,000, reflecting costs and issuer economics. All payments are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC and Morgan Stanley.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Jump Securities with an auto-callable feature maturing November 30, 2027, linked to the worst performer of the State Street SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX).
Each note has a $1,000 stated principal and issue price, with an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $967, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs. Notes may be automatically redeemed quarterly from November 24, 2026, if each ETF is at or above its call threshold; early redemption payments step up from $1,037.50 to $1,175.00 per note.
If not called, and the final level of each ETF is at or above its upside threshold (90% of initial level), investors receive $1,187.50 per note. If at least one ETF finishes below its downside threshold (60% of initial level), repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performer, down to zero. The notes pay no interest, offer no participation in ETF upside beyond the fixed returns, and are unsecured obligations of MSFL fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, exposing investors to the issuer’s and guarantor’s credit risk.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), via Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities linked to an equally weighted basket of seven semiconductor-related stocks. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, pays no interest and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
At maturity on September 17, 2027, if the basket’s final level is at or above the 80% buffer level, investors receive principal plus a fixed upside payment of at least $160.70 per security (16.07% of principal), regardless of how much the basket rises. If the final level falls below the buffer, investors lose 1.25% of principal for every 1% decline beyond the 20% buffer, with no minimum payment; a 70% decline would return $375 (37.5% of principal).
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $981.40 per security, below the $1,000 issue price due to issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs and the issuer’s funding rate. The notes are unsecured obligations subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, offer limited upside, have uncertain tax treatment and may trade at significantly lower secondary-market prices with limited liquidity.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due May 17, 2028, in $1,000 denominations, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley and linked to an equally weighted basket of five U.S. stocks.
The notes pay a contingent coupon at 14.85% per annum only when the basket closing level is at or above the coupon barrier level of 70 on an observation date. They may be automatically redeemed on scheduled determination dates if the basket is at or above the call threshold level of 95, returning principal plus the coupon. If not called, at maturity investors receive principal back only if the final level is at or above the downside threshold level of 60; otherwise the payoff is fully exposed to basket losses and can be zero. The issuer’s estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $963.20 per $1,000 security, reflecting embedded costs and issuer economics.
