Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (MSFL) is marketing $10,045,950 of 2-year Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index (SPX). The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of MSFL and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS).
Key economic terms
- Issue price: $10.00 per note; minimum purchase 100 notes.
- Estimated value on the trade date: $9.803 (2.0% below issue price, reflects structuring and hedging costs).
- Trade/settlement dates: 10 Jul 2025 / 14 Jul 2025.
- Maturity: 14 Jul 2027, unless automatically called earlier.
- Underlying: S&P 500 Index; Initial Level 6,280.46.
- Automatic call: Quarterly, starting 12 Jan 2026. If the SPX closing level on any observation date is ≥ Initial Level, the note is redeemed for principal plus a Call Return that compounds at 9.10% p.a. (4.55% first call, rising to 18.20% at final date).
- Downside Threshold: 5,024.37 (80 % of Initial Level) observed only on the final date.
- Payout at maturity (if not called):
- If Final Level ≥ Initial Level → same treatment as automatic call (principal + 18.20% fixed return).
- If Final Level < Initial Level but ≥ Threshold → return of principal only.
- If Final Level < Threshold → principal loss one-for-one with index decline; up to 100% loss possible.
- No periodic coupons, no participation above fixed Call Returns.
Risk profile
- Principal at risk; no protection below the 20 % buffer.
- Credit exposure to MSFL/Morgan Stanley; structure is not FDIC-insured and will not be listed on an exchange.
- Liquidity depends on Morgan Stanley & Co. making a market; secondary price expected to be below the estimated value, especially during the first five months.
- Early redemption risk limits upside: investors may need to reinvest at lower rates if the notes are called quickly.
- Complex U.S. tax treatment; IRS could challenge the “open transaction” characterization.
Use of proceeds: General corporate purposes; the dealer (UBS FS) earns a fixed $0.15 sales concession per note. Morgan Stanley affiliates will hedge exposure through SPX-related instruments, which may affect index levels.
Suitability: Targeted at investors who (1) expect the S&P 500 will stay flat-to-moderately positive over two years, (2) can tolerate full principal loss, (3) are comfortable with limited upside and early-call uncertainty, and (4) seek a defined return profile rather than direct equity exposure.
