Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index®, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index due October 1, 2025
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 index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to 70% of its initial index value, which we refer to as the respective downside threshold value, you will receive the stated principal amount for each security that you hold at maturity plus the upside payment of $97.50 per security. However, if the final index value of any underlying index 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 index value of the worst performing underlying from its respective initial index value. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less than $700 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 underlying indices, a decline in any final index value below 70% of its respective initial index value will result in a significant loss on your investment, even if the other underlying indices have appreciated or have not declined as much. The securities are for investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are willing to risk their principal, risk exposure to the worst performing of three underlying indices and forgo current income and returns above the fixed upside payment in exchange for the upside payment feature that applies only if the final index value of each underlying index 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.
