Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, is offering principal-at-risk Jump Securities with an auto-call feature maturing on October 26, 2028, linked to the worst performer of the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector, and Russell 2000 indices.
Each security is issued at $1,000 and may be automatically redeemed on November 3, 2026 if all underliers close at or above their 100% call thresholds on October 29, 2026, paying an early redemption amount of $1,182.50 per security. If held to maturity and all underliers finish above initial levels, the payoff equals principal plus 175% of the worst underlier’s gain. If any underlier finishes at or below initial but all are at or above the 70% downside thresholds, investors receive only principal. If any underlier finishes below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the worst performer, and could be zero.
The securities pay no interest, are unsecured, will not be listed, and are subject to the issuers’ credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $950.10 per security.
Morgan Stanley reports that the Federal Reserve has reduced its Stress Capital Buffer from 5.1% to 4.3%, effective October 1, 2025, after the company sought reconsideration of its preliminary buffer set in June 2025. This lower buffer, combined with other regulatory capital requirements, results in an aggregate U.S. Basel III Standardized Approach Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio requirement of 11.8%.
The company’s actual U.S. Basel III Standardized Approach CET1 ratio was 15.0% as of June 30, 2025, meaning its capital stood above the new required minimum at that date. Morgan Stanley also notes that it has issued a press release about this change, which is included as an exhibit.
