The securities are unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC ("MSFL") and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
Morgan Stanley. The securities have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement, index supplement and
prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. The securities do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not
provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon but only if the index
closing value of e a c h of the Russell 2000® Index a nd the EURO STOXX 50® Index is a t or a bove its coupon barrier level of
70% of its respective initial index value on the related observation date. If, however, the index closing value of e it he r underlying
index is less than its coupon barrier level on any observation date, we will pay no interest for the related quarterly period. In
addition, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the index closing value of e a c h underlying index is greater than or equal
to its respective initial index value on any quarterly redemption determination date (beginning approximately one year after the
original issue date) for the early redemption payment equal to the sum of the stated principal amount plus the related contingent
quarterly coupon. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index value of e a c h underlying
index is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level of 55% of the respective initial index value, the payment at maturity
will be the stated principal amount and, if the final index value of e a c h underlying index is also greater than or equal to its coupon
barrier level, the related contingent quarterly coupon. If, however, the final index value of e it he r underlying index is less than its
downside threshold level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying index on a 1-to-1 basis
and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 55% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be
zero. Ac c ordingly, inve st ors in t he se c urit ie s m ust be w illing t o a c c e pt t he risk of losing t he ir e nt ire init ia l

of t he se c urit ie s. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a
decline beyond the respective coupon barrier level or respective downside threshold level, as applicable, of either underlying index
will result in few or no contingent coupon payments or a significant loss of your investment, even if the other underlying index has
appreciated or has not declined as much. These long-dated securities are for investors who are willing to risk their principal and
seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving no quarterly coupons
over the entire 5-year term. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of either underlying index. The securities are notes
issued as part of MSFL's Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program.

Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due October 4, 2022, with 1-year Initial Non-Call Period All Payments on the Securities
Based on the Worst Performing of the Russell 2000® Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index (the "securities") do not provide for
the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon but only if the index closing value
of e a c h underlying index is a t or a bove 70% of its initial index value, which we refer to as the respective coupon barrier level,
on the related observation date. If the index closing value of e it he r unde rlying inde x is less than the respective coupon
barrier level on any observation date, we will pay no coupon for the related quarterly period. It is possible that the index closing
value of either underlying index could remain below the respective coupon barrier level for extended periods of time or even
throughout the entire 5-year term of the securities so that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly coupons during the term of
the securities. We refer to these coupons as contingent, because there is no guarantee that you will receive a coupon payment on
any coupon payment date. Even if both underlying indices were to be at or above their respective coupon barrier levels on some
quarterly observation dates, one or both underlying indices may fluctuate below the respective coupon barrier level(s) on others. In
addition, if the securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity and the final index value of e it he r unde rlying

The original issue price of each security is $1,000. This price includes costs associated with issuing, selling, structuring and
hedging the securities, which are borne by you, and, consequently, the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date is less
than $1,000. We estimate that the value of each security on the pricing date is $979.00.

What goes into the estimated value on the pricing date?

In valuing the securities on the pricing date, we take into account that the securities comprise both a debt component and a
performance-based component linked to the underlying indices. The estimated value of the securities is determined using our own
pricing and valuation models, market inputs and assumptions relating to the underlying indices, instruments based on the
underlying indices, volatility and other factors including current and expected interest rates, as well as an interest rate related to our
secondary market credit spread, which is the implied interest rate at which our conventional fixed rate debt trades in the secondary
market.

What determines the economic terms of the securities?

In determining the economic terms of the securities, including the contingent quarterly coupon rate, the coupon barrier levels and
the downside threshold levels, we use an internal funding rate, which is likely to be lower than our secondary market credit spreads
and therefore advantageous to us. If the issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs borne by you were lower or if the internal
funding rate were higher, one or more of the economic terms of the securities would be more favorable to you.

What is the relationship between the estimated value on the pricing date and the secondary market price of the securities?

The price at which MS & Co. purchases the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market conditions, including
those related to the underlying indices, may vary from, and be lower than, the estimated value on the pricing date, because the
secondary market price takes into account our secondary market credit spread as well as the bid-offer spread that MS & Co. would
charge in a secondary market transaction of this type and other factors. However, because the costs associated with issuing,
selling, structuring and hedging the securities are not fully deducted upon issuance, for a period of up to 6 months following the
issue date, to the extent that MS & Co. may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, absent changes in market
conditions, including those related to the underlying indices, and to our secondary market credit spreads, it would do so based on
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/895421/000095010317009599/dp81251_424b2-ps1838.htm[10/3/2017 4:19:57 PM]


values higher than the estimated value. We expect that those higher values will also be reflected in your brokerage account
statements.

MS & Co. may, but is not obligated to, make a market in the securities and, if it once chooses to make a market, may cease doing
so at any time.

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities will pay a contingent quarterly coupon but
only if the index closing value of each underlying index is a t or a bove its respective coupon barrier level on the related
observation date. The securities have been designed for investors who are willing to forgo market floating interest rates and accept
the risk of receiving no coupon payments for the entire 5-year term of the securities in exchange for an opportunity to earn interest
at a potentially above market rate if each underlying index closes at or above its respective coupon barrier level on each quarterly
observation date until the securities are redeemed early or reach maturity. The following scenarios are for illustrative purposes only
to demonstrate how the coupon and the payment at maturity (if the securities have not previously been redeemed) are calculated,
and do not attempt to demonstrate every situation that may occur. Accordingly, the securities may or may not be redeemed, the
contingent coupon may be payable in none of, or some but not all of, the quarterly periods during the 5-year term of the securities
and the payment at maturity may be less than 55% of the stated principal amount of the securities and may be zero.

Sc e na rio 1 : T he se c urit ie s
This scenario assumes that, prior to early redemption, each underlying index closes at or
a re re de e m e d prior t o
above its coupon barrier level on some quarterly observation dates, but one or both
m a t urit y
underlying indices close below the respective coupon barrier level(s) on the
others. Investors receive the contingent quarterly coupon for the quarterly periods for which
each index closing value is at or above the coupon respective barrier level on the related
observation date, but not for the quarterly periods for which either index closing value is
below the respective coupon barrier level on the related observation date.

Starting on October 1, 2018, when each underlying index closes at or above its initial index
value on a quarterly redemption determination date, the securities will be automatically
redeemed for the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly coupon with respect

Hypothetical Examples

The following hypothetical examples illustrate how to determine whether a contingent quarterly coupon is paid with respect to an
observation date and how to calculate the payment at maturity if the securities have not been automatically redeemed early. The
following examples are for illustrative purposes only. Whether you receive a contingent quarterly coupon will be determined by
reference to the index closing value of each underlying index on each quarterly observation date, and the amount you will receive
at maturity, if any, will be determined by reference to the final index value of each underlying index on the final observation
date. The actual initial index value, coupon barrier level and downside threshold level for each underlying index are set forth on the
cover of this document. All payments on the securities, if any, are subject to our credit risk. The numbers in the hypothetical
examples below may have been rounded for the ease of analysis. The below examples are based on the following terms:

Contingent Quarterly Coupon:
6.40% per annum (corresponding to approximately $16.00 per quarter per security)*

Automatic Early Redemption:
If the index closing value of e a c h underlying index is greater than or equal to its initial index

the original issue date), the securities will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption
payment equal to the stated principal amount plus the contingent quarterly coupon with

How to determine whether a contingent quarterly coupon is payable with respect to an observation date:


Closing Level

2,800 (a t or a bove coupon

Hypothetical Observation Date 3

level)
Hypothetical Observation Date 4
500 (be low coupon
1,500 (be low coupon barrier
$0
barrier level)
level)

On hypothetical observation date 1, both the RTY Index and SX5E Index close at or above their respective coupon barrier levels.
Therefore a contingent quarterly coupon of $16.00 is paid on the relevant coupon payment date.

On each of the hypothetical observation dates 2 and 3, one underlying index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, but the
other underlying index closes below its coupon barrier level. Therefore, no contingent quarterly coupon is paid on the relevant
coupon payment date.

On hypothetical observation date 4, each underlying index closes below its respective coupon barrier level, and, accordingly, no
contingent quarterly coupon is paid on the relevant coupon payment date.
