Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Russell 2000® Index, the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR® Fund due November 15, 2029
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
The Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities, which we refer to as the securities, are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The securities will pay no interest, do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement for Jump Securities, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented and modified by this document. If the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective initial level, you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity a minimum of $680 (the higher upside payment) per security, in addition to the stated principal amount. If the worst performing underlying appreciates by more than 68% over the term of the securities, you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity the stated principal amount plus an amount based on the percentage increase of such worst performing underlying. If the final level of any underlying is less than its respective initial level but the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to 60% of its respective initial level, which we refer to as the respective downside threshold value, investors will receive $200 (the lower upside payment) per security, in addition to the stated principal amount of their investment. However, if the final level of any underlying is less than its respective downside threshold value, the payment at maturity will be significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decrease in the final level of the worst performing underlying from its initial level. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less than $600 per security and could be zero. Accordingly, you could lose your entire initial investment in the securities. Because the payment at maturity on the securities is based on the worst performing of the underlyings, a decline in any final level below 60% of its respective initial level will result in a significant loss on your investment, even if the other underlyings have appreciated or have not declined as much. These long-dated securities are for investors who seek an equity-based return and who are willing to risk their principal, risk exposure to the worst performing of three underlyings and forgo current income in exchange for the upside payment feature that applies only if the final level of each underlying is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold value. The securities are notes issued as part of MSFL’s Series A Global Medium-Term Notes Program.
All payments are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment. These securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any security interest in, or otherwise have any access to, any underlying reference asset or assets.
