Risk Factors

For a discussion of the risk factors affecting Morgan Stanley and its business, including market risk, credit risk, operational risk, liquidity and
funding risk, legal, regulatory and compliance risk, risk management, competitive environment, international risk and acquisition, divestiture and
joint venture risk, among others, see "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2015 and our current and periodic reports filed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (file number 001-11758) that are
incorporated by reference into this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.

This section describes certain selected risk factors relating to the floating rate notes due 2022. Please see "Risk Factors" in the
accompanying prospectus for a complete list of risk factors relating to the notes.

The floating rate notes due 2022 have early redemption risk. We retain the option to redeem the floating rate notes due 2022, in whole but
not in part, on January 20, 2021, on at least 15 but not more than 60 days' prior notice. It is more likely that we will redeem the floating rate
notes due 2022 prior to their stated maturity date to the extent that the interest payable on the floating rate notes due 2022 is greater than the
interest that would be payable on other instruments of ours of a comparable maturity, of comparable terms and of a comparable credit rating
trading in the market. If the floating rate notes due 2022 are redeemed prior to their stated maturity date, you may have to re-invest the proceeds
in a lower interest rate environment.

Optional Redemption of Floating Rate Notes Due 2022

We may, at our option, redeem the floating rate notes due 2022, in whole but not in part, on January 20, 2021, on at least 15 but not more
than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the floating rate
notes due 2022 to but excluding the redemption date.

On or before the redemption date, we will deposit with the trustee money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the
floating rate notes due 2022 to be redeemed on that date. If such money is so deposited, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to

accrue on the floating rate notes due 2022 (unless we default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest) and such notes will
cease to be outstanding.

For information regarding notices of redemption, see "Description of Debt Securities--Redemption and Repurchase of Debt Securities--
Notice of Redemption" in the accompanying prospectus.

The notes do not contain any provisions affording the holders the right to require us to purchase the notes after the occurrence of any change
in control event affecting us.

Supplemental Information Concerning Plan of Distribution; Conflicts of Interest

On January 17, 2017, we agreed to sell to the managers listed below, and they severally agreed to purchase, the principal amounts of notes
set forth opposite their respective names below at a net price of 99.65%, plus accrued interest, if any, for the floating rate notes due 2022, at a net

the fixed rate notes due 2047, each of which we refer to as the "purchase price" for the respective notes. The purchase price for the floating rate
notes due 2022 equals the stated issue price of 100.00%, plus accrued interest, if any, less a combined management and underwriting commission
of 0.35% of the principal amount of the floating rate notes due 2022, the purchase price for the fixed rate notes due 2027 equals the stated issue
price of 98.999%, plus accrued interest, if any, less a combined management and underwriting commission of 0.450% of the principal amount of

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is our wholly-owned subsidiary. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., the ultimate parent of MUFG Securities
Americas Inc. (one of the managers), holds an approximately 22% interest in Morgan Stanley. This offering will be conducted in compliance with
the requirements of Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA
member firm's distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. In accordance with Rule 5121 of FINRA, Morgan
Stanley & Co. LLC and MUFG Securities Americas Inc. may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary accounts without the prior
written approval of the customer.

Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) and Standard Chartered Bank are not U.S. registered broker-dealers and, therefore, to the extent
that they intend to effect any sales of the notes in the United States, they will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers as
permitted by FINRA regulations.

Validity of the Notes

In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special counsel to Morgan Stanley, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have
been executed and issued by Morgan Stanley, authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the Senior Debt Indenture (as defined in the accompanying
prospectus) and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such notes will be valid and binding obligations of Morgan Stanley,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally,
concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and
the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar
provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above and (ii) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision that
permits holders to collect any portion of the stated principal amount upon acceleration of the notes to the extent determined to constitute unearned
interest. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee's authorization, execution and delivery of the
Senior Debt Indenture and its authentication of the notes and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the Senior Debt Indenture with
respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated January 11, 2017, which is Exhibit 5.1 to the Form 8-K filed by Morgan
Stanley on January 11, 2017.
