Lookback Entry Trigger PLUS Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index due July 30, 2029
Lookback Entry Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by Morgan Stanley
Trigger Performance Leveraged Upside Securities℠
Principal at Risk Securities
The Lookback Entry Trigger PLUS, which we refer to as the Trigger PLUS, are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC (“MSFL”) and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The Trigger PLUS will pay no interest, do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement for PLUS, index supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. The payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS is based on whether the final index value is greater than, equal to or less than the initial index value, which will be the lowest index closing value of the S&P 500® Futures Excess Return Index during the initial observation period. At maturity, if the underlying index has appreciated in value from the initial index value determined during the initial observation period, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the underlying index. If the final index value is less than the initial index value determined during the initial observation period but the final index value is greater than or equal to the trigger level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment. However, if the underlying index has depreciated in value so that the final index value is less than the trigger level, investors will lose a significant portion or all of their investment, resulting in a 1% loss for every 1% decline in the index value over the term of the Trigger PLUS. Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. Accordingly, you may lose your entire investment. These long-dated Trigger PLUS 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 lookback feature used in determining the initial index value, the upside leverage feature and the limited protection against loss but only if the final index value is greater than or equal to the trigger level. Investors may lose their entire initial investment in the Trigger PLUS. The Trigger PLUS 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 16.
All payments are subject to our credit risk. If we default on our obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment. These Trigger PLUS 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.
