MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Buffered Jump Securities with an auto-callable feature linked to the S&P® U.S. Equity Momentum 40% VT 4% Decrement Index, maturing September 3, 2031. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and issue price, with an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $898.20, reflecting issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by investors.
The notes may be automatically redeemed starting September 1, 2027 if the index closes at or above the call threshold level, for early redemption payments that correspond to a return of approximately 18.15% per annum, rising from $1,181.50 on the first determination date to $1,892.375 on the 48th. If held to maturity and not previously redeemed, investors receive $1,907.50 per security if the final index level is at or above the call threshold level, the $1,000 principal if it is between the call threshold level and the buffer level, and a loss of 1% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer if the final level is below the buffer level, subject to a minimum payment of 15% of principal.
The securities pay no interest, do not participate in index upside beyond the fixed payments, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley and MSFL. The underlier is a relatively new, volatility-targeted, 4% decrement strategy index established on March 14, 2022, and the notes are unsecured, not bank deposits, and not insured by the FDIC or any governmental agency.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Digital S&P 500 Index-Linked Notes under its global medium-term note program, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 face amount, no interest, and a term expected to be about 17–20 months.
The payoff depends on the S&P 500 Index (“Underlier”). If, on the determination date, the index is at least 87.50% of its initial level, investors receive a fixed Maximum Settlement Amount expected between $1,119 and $1,140 per $1,000 note (about 111.90%–114.00% of face). If the index has fallen by more than 12.50%, the maturity payment declines linearly with a Buffer Rate of about 114.29%, and investors can lose up to their entire principal.
The notes are unsecured obligations of MSFL, guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk. They will not be listed on any exchange, MS&Co. may but is not obligated to make a market, and secondary prices are expected to be below the issue price. The estimated value on the trade date is about $997.90 per $1,000 note, reflecting issuance, structuring, and hedging costs.

If held to maturity on August 10, 2028 and not called, investors receive principal plus the greater of a fixed $402 upside payment or 100% participation in any ETF appreciation, if the final level is at or above the initial. A 30% buffer applies down to $61.621; below this, losses accelerate at 1.4286% of principal for each 1% further decline, with no minimum payment and full loss of principal possible.
