Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index due September 11, 2029
Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Principal at Risk Securities
The Enhanced Buffered 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 but will instead pay an amount in cash at maturity that may be greater than or less than the stated principal amount depending on the closing value of the underlying index on the valuation date. If the closing value of the underlying index on the valuation date is at or above 80% of the initial index value, which we refer to as the downside threshold value, you will receive for each security that you hold at maturity a minimum of the upside payment of $350 per security in addition to the stated principal amount. If the underlying index appreciates by more than 35% over the term of the securities, you will receive for each security you hold at maturity, in addition to the stated principal amount, the upside payment of $350 plus an amount reflecting 171% of the appreciation of the underlying index beyond the upside threshold value. However, if the closing value of the underlying index on the valuation date is below 80% of the initial index value, you will be exposed to the decline in the level of the underlying index beyond the buffer amount of 20%, and you will lose some or a significant portion of your initial investment in the securities. These long-dated securities are for investors who seek an equity index-based return and who are willing to risk their principal and forgo current income in exchange for the potential to receive the upside return if the final index value is at or above the downside threshold value. The payment at maturity may be significantly less than the stated principal amount, and you could lose up to 80% of your investment. The securities are notes issued as part of MSFL’s Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program.
The underlying index measures the performance of the nearest maturing quarterly E-mini S&P 500 futures contract (the “futures contract”) trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (the “CME”). The futures contract references the S&P 500® Index (the “reference index”). For more information about the S&P 500® Index, see the accompanying index supplement. For more information about the underlying index, see “Annex A — S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index” beginning on page 20.
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.
