Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering unsecured Step-Up Jump Notes linked to the Morgan Stanley Amplitude Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal, is issued at $1,000, pays no periodic interest and matures on August 31, 2033, with full principal repayment at maturity if not called, subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
Beginning with the first determination date on August 26, 2027, the notes are automatically redeemed if the index closes at or above a rising call threshold (101%–106% of the initial level), for early redemption payments starting at at least $1,147.50 per note and stepping up annually to at least $1,885.00. If held to maturity and the final index level exceeds the initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus 100% of the index’s price appreciation; otherwise they receive only the $1,000 principal.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $879.80 per note, reflecting embedded issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs. The notes are not listed, and secondary liquidity depends on MS & Co.’s discretion. The underlier is a new, rules-based, multi-asset Morgan Stanley Amplitude Index with a 5% volatility target and 0.65% p.a. index fee plus additional component costs. For U.S. tax purposes, the securities are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, requiring annual accrual of interest income.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature due August 29, 2031, linked to the worst performer of the EURO STOXX 50, Russell 2000 and S&P 500 indices and fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount, pays no interest and is principal-at-risk.
The notes are automatically redeemed on September 7, 2027 if on September 2, 2027 each index is at or above its call threshold (100% of its initial level), paying an early redemption amount of $1,270–$1,280 per $1,000. If held to maturity and each index finishes above its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus an upside payment equal to 150% of the gain of the worst-performing index. If any index ends at or below its initial level but all remain at or above 70% of initial, only principal is returned. If any index finishes below 70% of initial, repayment is reduced 1% for every 1% decline in the worst-performing index, potentially to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $941.10 per security, reflecting structuring and hedging costs, and secondary market liquidity may be limited. All payments are subject to MSFL and Morgan Stanley credit risk and involve complex U.S. tax considerations.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering structured Callable Jump Notes due September 5, 2031, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with a $1,000 stated principal amount and no periodic interest. The notes are linked to the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
Beginning on the first redemption date, August 31, 2027, Morgan Stanley may redeem the notes in whole on specified redemption dates if a risk neutral valuation model indicates calling is economically rational for the issuer. Redemption payments step up over time, starting at least at $1,200 per note and reaching at least $1,983.333 near maturity.
If the notes are not redeemed and the final index level on September 2, 2031 exceeds the initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus 160% of the index’s positive return; otherwise, only the $1,000 principal is repaid. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $958.20 per note, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities (Buffered PLUS) due September 6, 2030, linked to the worst performer of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index. Each security has a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000 and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes pay no interest and all payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit.
At maturity, if the final level of each index is above its initial level, investors receive principal plus a leveraged upside payment based on a 119% leverage factor, with the payoff illustration showing 126% participation in appreciation. If the worst-performing index is at or below its initial level but at or above its 80% buffer level, investors receive only principal. If the worst-performing index closes below its buffer level, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline beyond the 20% buffer, subject to a minimum payment of 20% of principal.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $962.40 per security, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs. The securities are unsecured obligations of MSFL, a finance subsidiary with no independent operations, and are subject to market, index, liquidity, tax and conflict-of-interest risks described in the risk discussions.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Contingent Income Memory Auto-Callable Securities due September 5, 2031, linked to the S&P® 500 Futures 40% Intraday 4% Decrement VT Index and fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and an issue price of $1,000, with an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $939.90 per security. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk and principal is fully at risk.
Investors may receive a contingent coupon at 13.00%–14.00% per annum, but only on observation dates when the index closes at or above a coupon barrier set at 60% of the initial level; missed coupons can be paid later if the barrier is subsequently met. The notes are automatically redeemed at par plus applicable coupons if, on any monthly redemption determination date from February 26, 2027, the index is at or above a call threshold equal to 100% of the initial level.
If not called, at maturity investors receive par only if the final index level is at or above a downside threshold of 60% of the initial level; otherwise repayment is $1,000 × (final level ÷ initial level), exposing holders to the full downside of the index and potentially a total loss. The underlier itself is complex, using intraday rebalancing, leverage, a 40% volatility target and a 4.0% per annum decrement, and has limited live history with substantial reliance on hypothetical back-tested data.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Leveraged Index Return Notes linked to an equally weighted basket of the EURO STOXX 50, Nikkei 225 and Swiss Market Index. The notes have a 5-year term, $10 principal per unit and a leveraged upside Participation Rate between 190% and 210%, set on the pricing date.
Investors receive no interest and face 1-to-1 downside exposure, with up to 100% of principal at risk if the basket falls below the Starting Value of 100.00. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of MSFL, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and all payments are subject to their credit risk.
The public offering price is $10.00 per unit, including an underwriting discount of $0.20; the issuer’s estimated initial value is approximately $9.50 per unit. The notes will not be listed on any exchange and are not designed for short-term trading, with potentially limited or no secondary market liquidity.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering principal at risk Jump Securities, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, linked to the S&P 500 Futures 40% Intraday 4% Decrement VT Index. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount, prices at $1,000, and matures on August 29, 2031, with all payments subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
The notes are auto-callable starting August 27, 2027: if on any determination date the index is at or above 90% of its initial level, investors receive an early redemption payment corresponding to roughly 17%–18% per annum (e.g., $1,170–$1,180 on the first date), and the notes terminate. If held to maturity and not called, investors receive about $1,850–$1,900 per note if the final index level is at or above the 90% call threshold, only principal back if it is between 60% and 90%, and a loss of principal if it falls below 60%, potentially down to zero.
The issuer’s estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $903.30 per note, below the issue price due to embedded costs. The underlier itself is complex: it uses leverage, targets volatility, deducts a 4.0% per annum decrement, may not be fully invested, and has limited live history, with much data based on hypothetical back-tests. Liquidity may be limited and tax treatment is uncertain.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due August 30, 2029, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000, with an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $939.60 per security, reflecting embedded fees and hedging costs.
The notes pay a contingent coupon of 8.75%–9.75% per year, but only if on each observation date the iShares Silver Trust, the Nasdaq-100 Technology Sector Index and the Russell 2000 Index are all at or above their respective 50% coupon barrier levels. The notes are auto-callable from February 26, 2027 onward if all underliers are at or above 100% of their initial levels, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and the notes terminate early.
If not called, and at maturity any underlier finishes below its 50% downside threshold, repayment of principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performing underlier, potentially to zero. Investors do not participate in any upside of the underliers and face issuer and guarantor credit risk, limited liquidity, and complex, uncertain U.S. tax treatment.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering S&P 500®-linked market notes due September 6, 2029, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes are unsecured, pay no interest and return at least the $1,000 stated principal amount per note at maturity, subject to issuer credit risk.
At maturity, if the S&P 500® final level exceeds the initial level, investors receive the principal plus an upside payment equal to 100% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of 122.25%–123.25% of principal per note. If the final level is at or below the initial level, only principal is repaid.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $970.50 per note, reflecting offering, structuring and hedging costs. The notes will not be listed on any exchange, secondary liquidity may be limited, and all payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit. For U.S. tax purposes, the securities are expected to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, requiring annual accrual of interest income.

Beginning August 31, 2027, the issuer may redeem the notes in whole on specified redemption dates if a risk neutral valuation model indicates early redemption is economically rational for Morgan Stanley; redemption payments start at at least $1,110 per note and rise to at least $1,540.833 by July 31, 2031. If not redeemed and the final level of each index exceeds its initial level on August 26, 2031, holders receive $1,000 plus an upside payment equal to 100% of the worst index’s percentage gain; otherwise they receive only principal at maturity.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of MSFL, guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with an estimated value of about $937.60 per note on the pricing date, will not be listed on any exchange, and expose investors to issuer credit risk, early redemption risk, model-driven call risk, small-cap exposure via the Russell 2000, and complex contingent payment debt instrument tax treatment.
